If you're not sure why you're on my mailing list, it's likely because you signed up for my course From Heartache to Connection or Emotions Live in the Body in TheraBundle or Lizzy's Christmas Party. If you don't want to receive any more emails from me, just click here to unsubscribe! The cutoff to get 50% off the course(s) of your choice happens today at 1pm today Pacific / 4pm Eastern. So, the last thing I want to share is what others have gotten out of these resources. Read on for testimonials from the lips (or keyboards) of students and course members! The 50% off coupon code is JOY50 "I enjoyed the class and felt relief from the feelings of grief using techniques that Joy taught. She had clear instructions for making the collage cards and clear prompts to interpret and discover meaning as we finished. I found the messages I learned about myself changed during the process and even the next day when I looked at my art and journal we created in class. I learned more about the meaning of grief and how I felt about it. I learned from Joy that there can be different sources of grief and these can reveal themselves in your art - not just the main issue you expect."
-Rachel M. "I'm finally listening to my body. Joy has helped me ask myself, "When you think that way, do you have a feeling in your body?" It hadn't even come to my mind to think about body sensations, like sensation of heat, or tingle, or warmth, or pain-- anything that the body gives us while thinking about something.
For me, this was the beginning of actually listening, not just to my thoughts, but to my body. And when your body is telling you something, that's real, that's weighted information.
-Monica W. This is a fairly new offering, and so instead of a testimonial, I'll share a bit about my own road to setting boundaries in ways that strengthen my relationships with those I work with. I used to be extremely fearful about setting boundaries with anyone-- I was convinced that people valued me for my empathy and helpfulness, and that if I said no to a request, they wouldn't want to continue working with me.
But, I've found the opposite to be true. As I learned to protect my time and energy the way I teach you to do in this course, I've found my way to more authentic and mutually fulfilling relationships that last with my clients. "I have two INTPs in my practice at the moment and your breakdown on how they take in sensory data, process it, and respond is brilliant, explaining their meaning and purpose (a hugely important component of self-understanding and acceptance) with a specificity in the language that fits very accurately."
-Mike J., Therapist
"The course absolutely opened my eyes. I've skimmed things about attachment styles before, but I certainly hadn't thought that I was avoidant, as I've always been good at confronting my fears and dealing with them. Reading the course and learning what avoidant actually was, it was a shock to see my behaviours written out and identified so clearly.
The anxious attachment for my partner as well-- it's really like you'd been watching us interacting.
In just a day I feel like I've turned a corner and I'm feeling so much more positive about our future together now. I've looked at our previous bitter arguments through the lens of this new knowledge and it's given me so much more hope that we can learn to communicate better with each other."
-Matthew C. Remember, the 50% off coupon code is JOY50 - and it's only available for a few more hours! With warmth, Joy |

Hi Reader, Do you ever feel like there's a wrestling match going on inside you between your values and your capacity? That's exactly how I've felt about taking more meaningful action in the midst of so much inequity and suffering. My values say that I cannot be complicit through inaction. They say that it is a failure of my own humanity to go along, business as usual, when it isn't "business as usual" for so many marginalized communities. And then my capacity-- my actual time, money, energy...

Hi Reader, The weight of the world may feel unbearable right now. We’re holding space for the heartbreak, the outrage, the overwhelm — and for the grounded action that can emerge when we tend to all of our feelings. Those words were written by my friend and collaborator, Erin-Kate Escobar (they/them). They describe our approach to a new series we're launching together called Find Your Center & Voice in a World of Suffering. Find Your Center will be a 4-part transformative conversation between...
