In this episode of the series, I walk you through how pleasure, joy, and comfort are not luxuries — they are essential acts of self care. I share real, personal examples of joy and comfort from my own life — from dancing at a Bad Bunny concert, to savoring comforting foods and cozy clothes, to planning a family Holiday moment that lit up my heart. Pleasure, JOY and comfort matters deeply, activating the brain's reward and connection systems.
