In this special anniversary episode of The Joy Work Show, Diane welcomes back life coach Kathryn Ball to reflect on how her work, perspective, and relationship with joy have evolved over the past year.

Kathryn shares how questioning long-held societal rules has reshaped the way she coaches, and the way she lives. Together, Diane and Kathryn explore the power of small moments, the courage it takes to say no, and why choice is one of the greatest freedoms we have.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

✨ The evolution of Kathryn’s coaching approach
✨ Why empathy matters, but honesty is the foundation
✨ How questioning “the rules” creates space for growth
✨ Finding joy in everyday moments rather than constant highs
✨ The emotional and logical sides of decision-making
✨ Why saying no can protect your joy and open better opportunities

This episode is a thoughtful reminder that joy doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from living and leading with intention.
