I recently had a 1:1 mentorship call with a lovely sound grad building their sound practice and business. We talked a bit about all the things - the foundations, marketing, dedicated practice, partnerships, etc. Joy kept popping up as a recurring thread.
Think about the people who you enjoy being around. How do they make you feel? We’ve all walked away from relationships and friendships that deplete rather than support and expand.
I’ve been thinking alot about the relationship those in the wellness and healing professions have with their business (mine included). Does it bring you joy? Does it support and expand?
Over the last few years, sound has been the core of what brings me purpose and intention - and seeing sound graduates now doing the same to build lives of intentional sharing and community is deep in my heart. And I’ve found an expanded meaning for this thing we call joy.
Joy goes beyond “happy”. It’s finding purpose, dedication and connection in the messy, the in between, and even the unknown.
Because it’s all part of the journey. The only way is through.
