Podcast Overview

Finding Joy is a podcast about what it means to truly live. Because too many of us are building lives around who we think we should be instead of who we really are. Hosted by speaker, leadership facilitator, coach, and author Leona deVinne, Finding Joy explores the conversations that help us reconnect with ourselves, find the courage to stop performing, and start living with authenticity, not apology. Through honest conversations, powerful stories, and practical insights grounded in psychology, neuroscience, leadership, and lived experience, Leona explores what helps us live with greater clarity, confidence, courage, and meaning. Some episodes feature ordinary people navigating extraordinary circumstances. Others unpack ideas around identity, resilience, burnout, confidence, boundaries, leadership, relationships and what it takes to create a life that actually feels like your own. Because joy is not something we chase. It is often what finds us when we finally own who we are.

Is It Okay to Want What You Want?

<p>Ever notice how the moment you let yourself truly want something, shame shows up like an uninvited guest?

Nourishment Over Numbers: Finding Food Freedom in Midlife

<p>Registered dietitian Kristyn Hall reveals why midlife demands we abandon the calorie-counting games of our younger years and embrace a radically different approach to nourishment – one that prioritizes elevation over manipulation.</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, Kristyn introduces her two-bucket framework for supporting women through midlife nutrition challenges, from ending "calorie hoarding" to understanding why our bodies need more fuel, not less, during biological transitions. You'll discover why three consistent meals can stop the 3 p.m. craving wars and how to shift from nutritional math to nutritional grace.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p><p>(00:53) Why midlife bodies need nourishment for elevation, not manipulation</p><p>(04:46) How to end the calorie hoarding game that leaves you battling cravings</p><p>(08:15) Why fiber isn't just about pooping – it's about metabolic health</p><p>(11:13) The biggest mistake women make: trying to diet through biological transitions  </p><p>(15:29) How self-compassion becomes the foundation for sustainable change</p><p>(16:48) When intuitive eating works (and when it doesn't) in midlife</p><p>(20:53) What every woman on GLP-1s needs to know about nutrition</p><p>(24:11) Simple hydration truths that aren't about carrying gallon jugs</p><p>(27:42) The 60-second shift from food fear to body joy</p><p><strong>The JOY Journey</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The JOY Journey is an online space for women ready to reconnect, reset, and grow – at your own pace or alongside a supportive community.</p><p><br></p><p>What you get:</p><ul><li>10 emails each month with simple, research-backed tools</li><li>Guided meditations, journalling prompts, and practical techniques</li><li>Ongoing support designed to help changes actually stick</li><li>Access to a dedicated app with all content anytime</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Community option:</p><ul><li>Live sessions twice a month (1 hour)</li><li>Reflect, write, and connect with others on the same path</li><li>Fridays at 11:30 MT</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If something in this episode resonated, this is your next step.</p><p><br></p><p>Get 30% off as a Finding Joy listener:</p><p><a href="https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page">https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page</a> </p><p><strong>Connect with Finding Joy:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.leonadevinne.com">https://www.leonadevinne.com</a> and <a href="https://devillepartners.com">https://devillepartners.com</a> </p><p>Subscribe for weekly emails: <a href="https://ghl.devillepartners.com/widget/form/Dvb9FUenar3xybDTFeww">https://ghl.devillepartners.com/widget/form/Dvb9FUenar3xybDTFeww</a> </p><p>The JOY Journey <a href="https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page">https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page</a>  </p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thejoyspot">https://www.instagram.com/thejoyspot</a>  </p><p>Finding Your Joy Spot Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991707583">https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991707583</a> </p>

Beyond the To-Do List: Discovering What Actually Matters

<p>What if everything racing through your mind right now – your endless to-do list, that low hum of urgency – doesn't actually matter as much as you think? Research shows that our dopamine-driven, checkbox mentality can become as addictive as a slot machine, keeping us productive but rarely fulfilled.</p><p><br></p><p>Arthur Brooks' groundbreaking happiness research reveals three pillars that create genuine meaning: coherence (why life unfolds as it does), purpose (why you're here), and significance (how you want to make a difference). When we shift from survival mode to intentional living, we discover that joy becomes both our North Star and compass.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p><p>(00:38) Why your current mental chatter might not matter as much as you think</p><p>(01:35) How our brains become addicted to the dopamine hit of to-do lists</p><p>(03:39) The life-changing shift from "to-do" to "to-be" thinking</p><p>(06:20) Arthur Brooks' three pillars of meaningful living</p><p>(07:58) Why having a framework for life's challenges protects mental health</p><p>(09:24) How joy becomes both your North Star and compass for authentic living</p><p>(12:17) Powerful questions to uncover your coherence, purpose, and significance</p><p>(13:52) The legacy-defining exercise of identifying your two core values</p><p><strong>The JOY Journey</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The JOY Journey is an online space for women ready to reconnect, reset, and grow – at your own pace or alongside a supportive community.</p><p><br></p><p>What you get:</p><ul><li>10 emails each month with simple, research-backed tools</li><li>Guided meditations, journalling prompts, and practical techniques</li><li>Ongoing support designed to help changes actually stick</li><li>Access to a dedicated app with all content anytime</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Community option:</p><ul><li>Live sessions twice a month (1 hour)</li><li>Reflect, write, and connect with others on the same path</li><li>Fridays at 11:30 MT</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If something in this episode resonated, this is your next step.</p><p><br></p><p>Get 30% off as a Finding Joy listener:</p><p><a href="https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page">https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page</a> </p><p><strong>Connect with Finding Joy:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.leonadevinne.com">https://www.leonadevinne.com</a> and <a href="https://devillepartners.com">https://devillepartners.com</a> </p><p>Subscribe for weekly emails: <a href="https://ghl.devillepartners.com/widget/form/Dvb9FUenar3xybDTFeww">https://ghl.devillepartners.com/widget/form/Dvb9FUenar3xybDTFeww</a> </p><p>The JOY Journey <a href="https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page">https://go.leonadevinne.com/the-joy-journey-landing-page</a>  </p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thejoyspot">https://www.instagram.com/thejoyspot</a>  </p><p>Finding Your Joy Spot Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991707583">https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991707583</a> </p>
