Joy is Resistance

When the world is burning, finding joy can feel impossible—or worse, selfish. How do we make space for celebration without turning a blind eye to reality? Why would we even want to?

While it can feel like a heavy lift, practicing joy is, in fact, an act of resistance. Joy prevents burnout, moves energy, builds solidarity, and promotes resilience.

On today’s show, author Cheryl Leutjen dives into the idea that choosing delight counters the oppressive systems that thrive on our exhaustion, isolation, and apathy.

Here’s a preview:

[5:30] Are we dancing while the Titanic sinks?

[10:00] Grief and anger are essential catalysts for change, but they’re terrible long-term fuels

[15:00] We’re so much more than consumers! Here’s how joy helps us reclaim our full humanity which has been lost under capitalism

[18:00] Community is medicine. We aren’t meant to carry the weight of the world alone!
