Joy is part of the work.
Many women were taught to be responsible, strong, and self-sacrificing, but not necessarily to live in joy.
For me, joy is part of my recipe for a healthy relationship with myself.
A big part of my joy is dancing and music. Whether I am in the dance classroom with my students, at a party, or at a business expo and music starts playing, I find myself dancing. Joy can show up anywhere.
So here is your reminder: you are allowed to feel good in your life.
Ask yourself: what helps you feel alive? Do more of that. Make it part of your recipe for joy.
And by the way… you do not have to earn your joy. ❤️
