Why You Don't Have to Try to Feel Joy

Joy is often treated as a goal or a reward. In this episode of ALWAYS CONNECTED, we explore a different view: joy as something already present, even in ordinary moments. Through live interaction and spirit-guided inquiry, we look at how effort, vigilance, and self-monitoring can obscure joy—and what helps it naturally surface again.
