In this podcast episode I’m joined by Joy Activation Coach and mother, Danielle Brooker, to talk about what it really takes to access joy…not just after the chaos of motherhood, but in the thick of it.
We unpack why traditional mindset tools don’t always work in motherhood, how nervous system regulation and embodiment are essential (but often misunderstood), and what it means to reclaim joy when it might feel very far away.
This conversation is an invitation to stop waiting for things to get easier and remember that joy isn’t something to chase but something to build capacity for.
Topics we cover:
Danielle’s personal journey of moving countries while pregnant during the pandemic and the transformation that followed in motherhood.
Why joy isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ but a necessity
What embodied joy really means (and how to access it)
The truth about rest and why it doesn’t always feel restorative
The importance of nervous system regulation and simple practical ways to find time for this as a busy mum
