When was the last time you truly enjoyed yourself?
Not to check a box. Not to be productive. But simply for the joy of it.
Between deadlines, responsibilities, and the ever-spinning mental load, many women push joy to the back burner—forgetting that it’s not a luxury, but fuel.
In this engaging and interactive event, followed by breakout sessions to dive even deeper, we’ll explore:
How memories, connections, and mindset shape your capacity for joy
Why joy is a muscle—and how to strengthen it without adding more to your plate
The permission slip you didn’t know you needed to make joy a priority
Practical strategies to build your own Joy List and create a Joy Calendar that works in real life
Together, we’ll clear the roadblocks, rediscover what makes you come alive, and make joy non-negotiable. Because when women lead with joy, the ripple effect is undeniable.
