This is a self-paced online course. When you purchase it, you gain access to a series of pre-recorded videos that walk you through the neurobiology of joy. You also get access to four worksheets to help support you in your joy journey, and the opportunity to sign up for an online community where you can practice and hone your new skills.

I made this course to help you understand:

  • Why joy might feel inaccessible to you

  • The neurobiology behind negative feedback loops in the brain

  • How fear and hope activate different circuits in the brain

  • How to activate and imprint the hope circuit.

Here’s what you’ll be able to do by the end of the course:

  • Recognize negative feedback loops that are getting in your way

  • Understand where those come from and how they aim to help you

  • Counter them with the practice of joy

  • Rewire your brain to make hope and joy more accessible

Throwback! This is a snippet from my dissertation prospectus (basically an outline you run by a committee before you do most of your research and writing to see if you could write a whole book-length thing about it) from 2011. It ended up being just
That being said, if you ever catch yourself saying, "I'm just being brutally honest!" you've gone to far. The truth is brutal enough, it doesn't need to be brutally delivered. Ever.
