Fav quotes from this episode:

“We are bought up in a society that prepares us for fear, but doesn’t prepare us for joy.”

“By taking responsibility for your own joy, you give other people permission to own their joy.”

“I’m constantly prioritising joy in every moment. Even the ones that feel quite sticky.”

“The idea that joy is within you, and that you can tap into it at any time feels really empowering.”

“Instead of thinking of my playfulness as being immature – I now consider it a vital part of my vitality.”
