I Need More Joy

Episode 12 – I Need More Joy In this episode of Healing Doesn’t Have to Hurt, April and Andrea explore what joy really is—and why so many of us struggle to access it, even when life looks “good” on the outside. They unpack the difference between happiness and joy, explaining why happiness is often conditional, while joy is a deeper state of being that lives inside the body. The conversation gently weaves through lived experiences of disconnection, trauma, survival mode, and the belief that joy has to be loud or earned. April and Andrea discuss how safety—not perfection or achievement—is the gateway to joy, and why our nervous system prioritizes protection over pleasure when we’re chronically stressed. Listeners are guided through practical, body-based ways to invite joy back in, including nervous system regulation, movement, music, reframing language, and simple somatic tools like tapping and grounding. They also talk about worthiness, self-compassion, and why joy builds resilience—helping us soften disappointment, reduce shame, and reconnect with hope. This episode is an invitation to stop chasing joy outside of yourself and start cultivating it from within—one safe, gentle moment at a time.
