This week Margo is joined once again by her neighborhood friend, Shauna Ahern to discuss finding joy in enough and the things that really matter. Shauna has won a James Beard award for one of her three cookbooks as well as awards for teaching. She currently runs her own teaching, coaching, and editing business on Vashon Island. The best of all her experiences is the joy of creating and being in community. 

Margo and Shauna discuss:

  • Why there is no room for joy if there is fear in the mind 
  • Swapping your to-do list for a joy list
  • How Shauna practices joy and sticks to her joy list
  • Starting with your why (before the what or the how)
  • The many systems of society and how none are built for joy
  • Inspiring people to find joy in enough
  • That each of us are the heroes of our own lives
  • Why trauma can’t be released without movement

These days, Shauna is continuing the work she started with ENOUGH through her subscription newsletter, where she writes and talks with people about prioritizing joy to heal from trauma. Focusing on joy gives us enough energy and compassion to help others heal as well. Through joy, we can change our culture.
