This a podcast about joy, perspective, and being human. I share stories from my own life—the things that make me laugh, make me think, and sometimes make me rethink everything. No expertise. No perfect answers. Just one person paying attention and sharing what she finds along the way. Join me every Tuesday and Thursday for a new episode. Enjoy the journey.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T20:17:16.171807+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-path-to-joy-6315401"},"episode":{"title":"Paradise!","slug":"paradise","published_at":"2026-07-14T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-path-to-joy-6315401/paradise","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-path-to-joy-6315401","url":"https://connect7n.podbean.com/e/paradise/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/s7v8srmfjejmc3fr/paradise.mp3","summary":"My grandparents lived in a retirement community called Century Village.
