    End of 2022 Special!

    We're back! For a one-off? For the beginning of a new season? Who knows? We don't! In this episode, we talk about Christmas, pets, relationships, and other sad things.

    Pride & Joy

    Instead of reading out listener questions this month, we ended up having a conversation about Pride Month, and all the joy and pain that comes with it.

    What does JK Rowling want?

    In this episode, Dan and Tim talk about a topic sent to us by Lisa: "What about when things that bring you joy end up being seen through a different lens? For example, JK Rowling, TERF wars, the music of Michael Jackson, etc." We also talk about pursuing compassion as a tool for nurturing happiness.

    How healthy is healthy living?

    We got sidetracked in this episode. It was going to be a conversation about friendship with other men, but we ended up talking about dieting,  healthy living, and how apparently positive habits can end up doing more harm than good. There's also some very salacious stuff about porn. How titillating.  Content warning: if food/exercise are difficult subjects for you, please look after yourself when listening to this episode. You may even want to give it a miss. If you'd like to get in touch with questions/thoughts for future episodes, email us! joystorypodcast@gmail.com.

    Regression or Progress?

    In this first episode of 2022, Dan and Tim talk about skateboards, Spider-Man, The Spice Girls, and some serious stuff too. Thanks to Yasin and Jordan, whose thoughtful questions helped shape our conversation in this episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Under the bells of St Paul's

    On this week's LIVE* and IN PERSON episode, Hannah sends us a question about "navigating feeling joy when others around you are not", and Caris asks about "managing any associated feelings of vulnerability that might come from expressing joy as an adult". *NB - Definitions of Live may vary.

    Floaty Joy

    For reasons which we'll sort of explain in the episode, we're not responding to listeners' questions this month. So this is more of a free-flowing conversation, which touches on a number of topics! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    How do we find and share joy in times of discomfort?

    This conversation was inspired by two questions: "Could you talk about finding joy through grief and loss?" - from Tom Robson "Could you talk about finding joy through leaving your comfort zone and seeking discomfort?" - from Lenny Rush If you'd like to give us something to talk about in a future episode, email us at joystorypodcast@gmail.com, or contact on social media!

    How can we hold on to childlike awe and play as adults?

    This conversation was inspired by two questions: "Discuss the rise in popularity of the obstacle course runs and how it's given everyone permission to connect with their inner child in an adult way. Why can't we just give ourselves that permission in other areas of our lives?" - from Phill Beisty "How do you relax and have fun as an adult without feeling guilty for not constantly learning new things?" - from Emily Shordon If you'd like to give us something to talk about in a future episode, email us at joystorypodcast@gmail.com, or contact on social media!
