Welcome to another episode of Seasons of Joy--A quarterly series produced with the help of  Stacy's friend and kindred, mindfulness coach Joy Jordan.  
Seasons of Joy was born out of their shared love of nature, the seasons, and their belief that each season holds its own wisdom.
This year Stacy and Joy are stripping things down. When the ladies sit down they'll be focusing on authentic answers to the question "How are you?" by asking instead "How are you, really?" No, really.
Then each episode they'll  impart some inspiration and hope by noting what they're reading, listening to, or witnessing that's lifting them up personally.  
IN THIS EPISODE:
Stacy and Joy share some joyful inspiration through Kate Bowler's book "Joyful Anyway", throw down some joyful sound effects, and suggest some ways to give back...to yourself.
