In today’s episode of Joyfully You, we’re diving deep into sustainable happiness, emotional mastery, and how to create a joyful life on purpose — not by accident.

I’m joined by the radiant Dr. Sue McCreadie, a physician-turned-holistic happiness mentor who helps midlife women reconnect with their joy, vitality, and purpose through mind–body–soul alignment. And omg… our pre-convo had me buzzing, and the episode is even sweeter.

We talk about:

~ How joy is something we create, not something we wait for
~ Why “beautiful states” are available to us even in the messiness
~ Midlife as a “second adolescence” — and why that’s actually empowering
~ Emotional discernment: when to shift your state vs. when to sit with a feeling
~ Tools for processing emotions so they don’t swirl and stay stuck
~ How to come back to joy again and again… sustainably

Plus, some really tender moments about shame, self-loathing, play, and what it actually feels like to meet yourself in the full spectrum of being human.

This episode feels like a warm hug and a gentle hype session. I know you’re gonna love it.
