Joy vs. Happiness: Why Joy Is Your Birthright (And How to Find It in 2026) | Joy Lab Podcast [242]

#seasonofgiving #mentalhealthpodcast #joylabpodcast #nonprofit #depression #anxiety #publichealth It's been an interesting year (and honestly, we're still searching for the right adjective). But one thing is crystal clear: we desperately need to prioritize joy—our own and others'. And no, that's not toxic positivity talking. In this special episode, we'll talk about what joy actually means at Joy Lab. Spoiler alert: it's not just happiness, and it's definitely not dependent on your life circumstances being perfect. The truth is that joy is an unbreakable undercurrent that exists within each of us—even the self-proclaimed pessimists among us. This episode is also a heartfelt call to action.
