Description
I have wanted the chance to talk with Joy Clarkson for quite some time. I loved her first book, Aggressively Happy.
This episode is centered around the notion that "Flourishing is more important than success." Drawing from Joy's insightful new book, "You are a Tree," Joy and Ginny delve into the mechanical metaphors that saturate our lives, leaving many feeling exhausted and disconnected from the beauty of the world.
As Joy poignantly describes a "quiet crisis" amidst our relentless pursuit of productivity, they explore the inherent seasonality of human existence, reminding listeners that we're not meant to produce endlessly. Joy shares her personal journey of slowing down and discovering true fruitfulness by embracing various forms of nourishment, much like the diverse seasons of a tree.
Throughout the episode, they reflect on the complexities of the human experience and challenge conventional notions of success, suggesting that perhaps success isn't about reaching the top of a ladder but rather about embracing slow growth and finding fulfillment in flourishing wherever we are. Join Ginny and Joy as they offer a refreshing perspective on living well, rooted in awe, mystery, and the gentle acknowledgment of our own complexity.
