“You don’t go through things that you aren’t able to overcome”

Do you want to create more joy in your life?

Do you find joy along the way to the thing that you think will create the most joy in your life?

In other words, do you want to know how to be more joyful?

Then let me introduce you to our guest today, Erica Lasan. Erica is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, wife, and mom on a mission to transform the world through RADICAL JOY!

Starting with a jewelry line at age 13, writing for several outlets, and eventually producing content for various media publications (including EBONY, Black & Sexy TV, and Mom.com), Erica Lasan has built a career around creative expression and service for over two decades.

After being laid off in 2016 (and an unexpected transition into motherhood), Erica looked to “JOYGems” gained throughout her career to establish JOYrney To Purpose™.

Now in her role as a JOY Strategist & Creative Consultant, Erica serves corporations, busy entrepreneurial women, and caregivers in learning how to create more: time, energy, and space to rediscover JOY in life and business. Through her 3-step JOYrney™ process, Erica leads workshops, speaking engagements, community-based challenges, and coaching to build intentional daily habits around JOY in every area of life…ONE feel-good thing at a time!

In today's episode, we discuss:

• What is joy?
• How to find joy during trying times
• How to ask and look for signs that you're being supported
• Why you're always where you need to be
• Why joy is your birthright

In this impromptu solo episode, Brianne shares what she's been struggling with over the last few weeks, including having a major wake-up call in terms of how she shows up within her relationships and her work. For someone who talks a lot about vulnerability and authenticity, it turns out...she's not as open as she thinks she is! She talks it out, how she's looking to heal, and what she feels are her biggest blocks in life -- hint: not feeling enough! Can you relate?!
