## Resource

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to laugh, rest, and actually feel good? We spend so much energy chasing health, but rarely stop to ask what it's all for. Today I'm joined by my dear friends Dr. Diane Kazer and Susan Patrick, who are hosting a joy-focused retreat this October in Paamul, Riviera Maya, Mexico. We dig into why so many women carry the weight of everyone else's happiness, yet they are only responsible for their own joy. Dr. Diane and Susan share how five days in raw, unspoiled nature can crack open a nervous system that's been running on hustle and shame for decades. We also talk about why AI actually gives us more room to be human, not less. It's time to put your joy first! "You are not responsible for anybody's joy, but you can be an advocate. And when you learn how to become an advocate (of joy) for the people you love, you become more powerful." ~ Susan Patrick In This Episode: - Introduction: why joy is the endgame - Why and how Real Joy retreats came to be - What to expect at the Real Joy Retreat - You're not responsible for anyone else's joy - Permission to pursue joy and break generational patterns - Choosing to be a "yeah" person, not "meh" - What women are really seeking - Retreat dates and how to sign up - Facing the fear of being judged - The beauty and raw excursions in Mexico - What daily life at the retreat looks like - Workshops: mindset, functional medicine, and joy Products & Resources Mentioned: The Real Joy Experience in Mexico: Learn more about the retreat and sign up at https://www.realjoyretreats.com/ Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and get a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up t…
