Your JOY-dealer is BACK — just in time for the season of All Things OY.
Overeating, overspending, overbooking, under-sleeping… and the classic “I’ll fix it in January” bull poo poo we all tell ourselves. Not this year, sweetcheeks.

In this comeback episode, I walk you through how to protect your sanity, your soul’s container, and your fine young (or ole) assets during the holiday chaos — with simple, doable, laugh-out-loud Tiny Tweaks that twerk OY into JOY.

And if you’re wondering why I didn’t talk about holiday eating tweaks yet… oh, I set you up for them on purpose. Before we tiny-tweak your EATS, I’ve got to make sure your brain, body, and emotional plumbing are unclogged and ready — otherwise you’ll treat them like another January comback diet.

Next episode?
 Get ready: SIMPLE. SANE. JOY over OY.
Holiday eating Tiny Tweaks that actually work — and no more detoxes, cleanses, or magic potions of the moment EVER again.

We tweak.
 We don’t torture.

Tune in and bring on the JOY!

*I'm aware that I made a numerical oopsie with the tweak counting, but isn't that the beauty of not having to be perfect as well as using the suffix "ish"?

Welcome back, JOYster! In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, I’m sharing life lessons straight from my brindle-coated, counter-surfing, couch-cuddling, stair-conquering retired racing Greyhound—Butch. That’s right, the 4-legged life coach who trotted into my world mid-pandemic and flipped it in the best way possible.

You’ll discover a few of my favorite lessons from Butch’s journey—everything from chasing squirrels (real and metaphorical) to healing fast, living full out, and reinventing yourself. Butch’s wisdom is for everyone, whether or not you’re a dog person.

Plus, you’ll pick up 10ish tiny but mighty tweaks inspired by Butch—from climbing stairs like a champ and easing into your car without moaning, to learning a new lingo, eating real food, and yes, slowing down that feeding frenzy. (Spoiler: You’re probably thirsty, not starving.)

Packed with humor, healing, and motivation, this episode will help you move, feel, and live with more JOY and less OY. Press play and remember—you can’t chase two squirrels at once.

So yeah… PAIN.
 It’s not just four annoying letters strung together.
 It’s a signal. A spark. A slap and a hug rolled into one.

And no, I didn’t coin the phrase PAIN is a gift—but now I truly believe it.
 Capital letters and all.
 Wanna know why it’s capitalized? You’ll find out.

Up until now, I’ve been as sweet as a slice of yummy peanut butter pie.
 But this episode?
 It’s the swift kick upside your (fine young) assets
 that even your doctor, your BFF, and your mirror are afraid to give you.
 But guess what? I’m not.
 Because someone’s gotta tell you the truth—JOYfully.

Keep listening. To your body. Your gut. Your gorgeous, glitchy, glorious self.
 This episode shows you how to do just that—how to actually listen to you.
Tiny Tweaks lead to big shifts.
And big shifts? They bring the JOY.

Now go move something. Feel something.
 And remember: You’re not broken.
 You’re becoming the full-fledged JOYster you are meant to be!
