Life feels complicated.
Joy doesn’t have to be.
Welcome to Your Joyful Life Project - a refreshingly human look at why we think, feel, and struggle the way we do - and how life tends to get easier once we stop fighting our own minds.
Through real conversations and simple experiments, we explore how our thoughts create our experience and how small shifts in attention can change everything.
#27 - Is it really just about experiencing THIS moment?
A follow-up solo episode picking up from last week — if you haven't heard that one yet (#26), start there first.
This week: why there's no such thing as a "bad" feeling, why unresolved situations keep resurfacing in your thinking (and what to actually do when they do), and how identifying your personal emotional trigger makes the pattern easier to spot next time. Pulled from a real conversation in our dads' group the night before recording.

#26 - What if it's Good to feel Bad?
What if feeling bad isn’t actually a problem to solve?
In this solo episode, I continue my exploration about leaning into whatever experience is happening right now, this time shifting from something actually happening now to what happens when thoughts about past events trigger unpleasant emotions.
I look at what happens when frustration, anger, painful memories, or other difficult feelings come up, and whether our instinct to push them away might actually be keeping them around.
I share a personal realization about some old feelings that kept resurfacing, and talk about a simple experiment you can try the next time something unpleasant shows up.
Maybe you don’t need to feel better right away. Maybe there’s something useful in actually feeling what you feel.

#25 - The Way Out Is Through
Mike is away today so Evan has a solo episode where he talks about some recent 'tests' he faced that gave him the opportunity to put the 'lean in' strategy to the test.
