What if everything you’ve been told about stress is wrong?

In this episode, I talk with author and recovering workaholic turned joy specialist Amy Leneker about her book Cheers to Monday—and why joy isn’t a reward we earn after stress, but a skill we can practice alongside it. We explore the surprising research behind joy as a resilience strategy, and how small, intentional moments can change our relationship with work and everyday pressure.

So for me, the big aha moment [in my research] was recognizing that joy is a wellness strategy, because when we feel joy, the scientific makeup of joy actually builds resilience. It builds a buffer to stress and burnout.
