    How I Healed my Migraine with JOY

    Ali woke up this week with a horrendous migraine  and instead of pushing through or giving up, she did something else entirely. She 'joyed' her way out of it. In this honest, personal, and surprisingly practical episode, Ali shares exactly what she did hour by hour to heal herself using her own joy strategy and why this was a powerful reminder that joy isn't just a philosophy. It is a healer, a strategy, and a verb. The Key Ideas Joy is a verb. 'To joy' is to actively, deliberately choose yourself, your rest, your pleasure, your peace is the strategy. Not something you do after everything else. The thing you do first, or nothing else works properly.Frustration is a signal. As a Generator in Human Design, Ali knows that frustration is her not-self theme,  the signal that she is out of alignment with her own energy. A migraine is her body's loudest version of that message. When she honours it, everything flows. When she ignores it, everything costs twice as much.Slowing down is not falling behind. In choosing to rest, write for pleasure, meditate, and walk slowly, Ali ended the day having done more than she had planned and all of it felt like ease.Joy is chemistry. The Daily DOSE  (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins)  is not a concept. It is a biological strategy. When you flood your body with these hormones through small, deliberate acts of joy, you change your internal chemistry. Ali has the OG joy list to prove it, a tiny scrap of paper she has kept since 2016.

    The Secret to Unshakeable Joy

    In this meaty, educational episode, Ali takes you through one of the most powerful exercises she does with her private clients: identifying your core values. Because when you truly know your values, you have an anchor that nothing and no one can take from you. You have confidence that comes from within, not from external validation. And you have the most powerful antidote to anyone who tries to shame, judge, or hurt you. This is the work that has given Ali the clarity to stand on stage, be visible, and receive both praise and criticism, all with an unshakeable sense of who she is. What We Cover in This Episode Why knowing your values changes everything When your inner world and outer world are aligned, living out of integrity with yourself becomes impossible. Ali shares how this work protected her in a pivotal moment and how it does the same for her clients every single day. Values as your antidote When someone throws criticism, judgment, or hate your way, your values are the truth that makes their poison dissolve. Ali even uses them to identify why something is hurting, so she can let it go and move on. Ali's own core values Grit. Grace. Gratitude. Growth. Genuine. Generosity. All beginning with G (because Ali loves alliteration and words are her love language). She walks you through how she arrived at each one, and why Grace was the newest addition and the one she still has to consciously remember. The values discovery exercise — step by step Grab a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you value in life. Fill the whole page. Don't edit yourself.Ask yourself: When did I feel really, really good about myself? Why? Who was I being? What was I honouring?Ask yourself: When did I feel really hurt or sad? What values were stepped on?Start grouping your words — find the one word that holds all the others for you.Make your list memorable. Alliteration, acronyms, whatever helps you know them off the top of your head.Living the practice Over the next week, witness yourself. When you feel good, which values are you honouring? When you feel off, which ones have been stepped on? This is a practice, not a one-time exercise. Keep coming back to it. Resources Mentioned I Know Me and I Love Me:  Life Lab workshop inside The Joy Rebellion. A deep-dive into understanding and truly knowing yourself, which Ali shares with all her private clients early in their work together. Love for Life: A full programme Ali wrote in 2021 during one of her most challenging chapters, helping you start the greatest love affair you'll ever have, the one with yourself.

    Joy: The Magic Formula for Success

    Welcome back to The Joy Broadcast and welcome to Year Two! This first episode of season two is a declaration. A relaunch. And a reminder of why joy isn't just a nice idea, it's chemistry, biology, and physics. It's the most powerful strategy you have. Ali opens with a confession: she took a break. She burned things down (very 3/6 of her), sat in the embers, and asked herself what this next chapter of the Joy Broadcast really needed to be about. The answer? Power. Not the soft version of joy, but joy as your sharpest competitive edge. What We Talk About in This Episode The evolution of the Joy Broadcast Year one was about survival:  how to find joy when everything is falling apart. Year two is about something bigger: how to use joy as a strategy when everything is piling up and coming at you all at once. Same answer, different era. Joy is not fluffy. Joy is science. Ali breaks down why joy operates across three branches of science  and why that completely changes how you should think about it Chemistry: Joy changes what you're made of. Biology: Joy changes how you function as a living system. Physics: Joy changes your frequency. The Magician card While writing her keynote speech, Ali pulled a tarot card — and out jumped the Magician. The reminder she needed: you are the magic. And magic is always the same formula: power + skill + action.  Fear as a messenger, not a shackle Fear comes up in client conversations every single week. Ali reframes it completely here: fear isn't your foe, it's your friend. It is one of your greatest guides.

    Joy, love & nostalgia with "Boo & Bambi!"

    THE JOY BROADCAST: BOO & BAMBI - A SISTER CONVERSATION ABOUT LOVE, NOSTALGIA & NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYONE ELSE This February, we're exploring love beyond romance. In this special episode, I sit down with my sister Alex (affectionately known as Bambi or Bird) for an intimate conversation about sisterhood, meaningful connections, and the joy of just being yourself. Fresh from our Maldives adventure celebrating my 50th birthday, we dive into questions about nostalgia, childhood memories, modern dating disasters, and what it means to truly switch off from responsibility. IN THIS EPISODE: On Nostalgia & Memory We explore what triggers our memories – from songs and smells to how differently we each process the past. I share how the anniversary of Mum's death affects me through snowdrops and Louis Armstrong, while my sister reveals she's more like Dad, able to leave the past in the past. The Gift of Not Thinking About Anyone Else We discuss what made our Maldives trip so special: the rare luxury of focusing just on ourselves. No kids, no partners, no responsibility for anyone else's happiness – and why that's not selfish, it's essential. The Wisdom of Empathy Alex shares her mantra shift from judgment to empathy – the story about ice creams on a winter school run that changed how she sees people's actions. We explore how we judge ourselves by our thoughts but others by their actions. Childhood Memories & Growing Up From being mistaken for each other on phone calls to Dad, to childhood holidays where we didn't have to worry about anything, we reflect on how adulthood changes the way we experience time off. JOY IS THE ACRONYM FOR JUST ON YOU As I share in this episode, when you're holding so much – children, partnerships, work, household, pets, everything – your main job is to focus on your own energy. You have to spend time every single day focusing just on yourself so you can expand your capacity to hold everything else. Otherwise, you store up resentment, frustration, and exhaustion from over-giving. This conversation is a reminder that the deepest connections allow you to just be yourself, say "I want to go to bed" on your 50th birthday at 10pm, and know there's no judgment. That's love too.

    JOY101: When to Rock the Boat (and when not to!)

    Are you playing it safe when your soul is whispering there's more to life? In this episode of The Joy Broadcast, Ali shares a powerful Joy Code about why movement is essential for happiness and when it's time to rock the boat versus when it's time to hold steady. Drawing from conversations with Joy Rebellion members and her own experience of capsizing her life (and rebuilding it), Ali explores the tension between stability and growth, between contentment and that persistent inner voice saying "you're meant for more." If you're feeling stuck in calm waters but restless for adventure or if you're in someone else's storm this episode is your permission slip. What You'll Learn Why happiness requires movement (according to Arthur Brooks, the "King of Happiness")The difference between intentionally rocking your own boat versus responding to someone else rocking yoursHow to know when it's the right time to make waves (and when it's not)Ali's South of France childhood memory that perfectly captures the joy of rocking the boatThe questions to ask yourself before making any big life changeHow to start rocking the boat gently without capsizing everything on day one Memorable Quotes "When you start to rock that boat, you're starting to make waves. And it's those waves that lead you to movement." "Happiness to me is always the sense of movement of something better that's coming, something just around the corner." "If you're playing it safe, how can you know where you're going to go? Safe to me is like hiding, it's staying small, it's staying where you are." "You can't get to the next level without waves in whatever you want to do, wherever you want to go." "The common thread in all of these is just to come back to you, just on you—your joy, your definitions, your truth, your knowing, your little voice and your boat." Call to Action Are you ready to rock the boat—or do you need permission to hold steady? Ali would love to hear from you: Are you going to rock the boat?Are you stabilizing the boat?What are your worries or fears?Join the conversation inside The Joy Rebellion membership where Ali drops Joy Codes every week and women support each other through life's waves—whether you're creating them or riding them out. https://www.alimortimer.com/

    Joy101: Knowing your definition of success

    What if your definition of success was the thing secretly blocking your joy AND your wealth? In this powerful episode, I'm kicking off a new series called Joy 101—101 ways to create, use, and bring more joy into your life. And we're starting with the code that changed everything for me nearly a decade ago: rewriting my definition of success. Back in 2015, when I walked away from my 20-year IT consulting career, I wrote down three simple lines:  Success is loving what I do, loving who I do it with, and loving myself in the process.  That definition carried me through a full decade of transformation—from body dysmorphia and not being able to look in the mirror, to building The Joy Rebellion and creating my dream life. But recently, after returning from the Maldives for my 50th birthday, I realised something had shifted. I'd achieved everything in that definition... and now it felt incomplete. This episode is about what happened when I revisited that success definition and discovered the missing piece: money. Not money as greed, but money as the ROOF protecting everything I've built. Money as the overflow that benefits my health, my family, and my clients. Money as strategy, not reward. In this episode, you'll discover: → Why your old definition of success might be keeping you stuck (even if it once served you beautifully) → The three foundational blocks that must come FIRST before wealth can flow → How to add "AND" instead of replacing what already works → Why women especially hold shame and resistance around making "a f**k ton of money" → The power of safe spaces where we can talk about money without being shamed or cancelled → How to write YOUR success definition for who you are TODAY (not who you were five years ago) → Why joy and wealth aren't opposites, they're partners This conversation sparked something powerful in The Joy Rebellion membership, and I knew it needed to reach more women. If you've ever felt conflicted about wanting more money, or if you've achieved "success" but still feel empty, this episode is for you. Action Steps: Your Joy 101 Assignment: Grab your journal and write YOUR definition of success for who you are TODAY, in this era of your life. Ask yourself: What does success mean to me RIGHT NOW (not five years ago)?What am I resisting that might be the missing piece?Where can I add "AND" instead of choosing between things I want?What would success feel like every single day?Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. This is JUST ON YOU. Join the Conversation: If this episode ignited something in you—if you want to explore your money blocks, rewrite your success definition, or have these deep conversations with women who GET IT—I'd love to invite you into The Joy Rebellion. This is the space where we hold each other, where you don't have to hold everyone else, and where joy becomes your strategy, not your reward. Link: https://www.alimortimer.com/the-joy-rebellion Love always, Ali xo 🌹 P.S. This is Joy 101, Code #1. There are 100 more coming. If you loved this, you're going to want to be inside The Joy Rebellion for all of them. https://www.alimortimer.com/

And I don't like to be whipped." "Devotion is love. To be devoted IS love. Devotion is a beautiful, loving, honorable energy rooted in passion, not punishment." "You wouldn't lead your team with a whip. So why are you leading yourself that way?" "When you're devoted to your joy, you don't burn out. You don't blow everything up. You don't lose yourself taking care of everyone else." "I'm devoted to this one f*****g life."
