   Joy Isn't Fluff — It's Fuel: The Science of Feeling Alive

   Joy is often dismissed as frivolous — something nice if you have time for it, but not essential. In this episode, Host, Kimberly Peek makes the case that joy isn't a luxury… it's medicine for your body, brain, and spirit. From dancing on tables at a winery to chasing meteor showers, kayaking adventures, spontaneous sunsets, and quiet moments of gratitude during her seven-week coastal journey, Kim explores how small sparks of joy can transform your mood, resilience, relationships, and even your physical health. This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It's about refusing to let hardship be the only story your life tells. If you're ready for deeper support navigating life's unexpected plot twists, check out the Plot Twist Playbook, a practical five-step reset designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Your Host: Kimberly Peek is a writer, podcaster, endurance athlete, and creator of the YES Life Project — a philosophy devoted to helping women rebuild, reinvent, and design lives that feel expansive, meaningful, and fully their own. After navigating major life plot twists including breast cancer, loss, heartbreak, and an empty nest, Kim began asking a simple question: what would happen if she started saying YES to herself? Some happy accidents became an intentional way of living. The YES Life isn't about blowing up your life or chasing constant adventure — it's about choosing what expands you, protecting your time and energy, and creating a life you don't feel the need to escape from. Through honest storytelling and real-world lessons, Kim invites listeners to reconnect with joy, agency, and the belief that it's never too late to design a future you're excited to wake up to.

Put Something on Your Calendar That Makes You a Little Nervous

Published 12 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I just want to go have fun and participate without getting injured. And I think that is also something that a lot of run coaching certifications don't teach people. They are geared toward helping people become elite runners. And this is a whole side tangent I really hadn't planned to talk about today. But when we think about the demographics right now and the aging population, doesn't it make sense to tailor some of your racing, some of your run clubs, some of the training programs, to an aging population that just wants to get outside and have fun and enjoy themselves. And that is a whole different mindset and a whole different type of training than what your typical run influencer or run coach, online coach, all those people are even doing. […]
