We spend so much energy chasing health, but rarely stop to ask what it’s all for. Today I’m joined by my dear friends Dr. Diane Kazer and Susan Patrick, who are hosting a joy-focused retreat this October in Paamul, Riviera Maya, Mexico. We dig into why so many women carry the weight of everyone else’s happiness, yet they are only responsible for their own joy. Dr. Diane and Susan share how five days in raw, unspoiled nature can crack open a nervous system that’s been running on hustle and shame for decades. We also talk about why AI actually gives us more room to be human, not less. It’s time to put your joy first! ### Key discussion points… - Why and how Real Joy retreats came to be - What to expect at the Real Joy Retreat - You’re not responsible for anyone else’s joy - Permission to pursue joy and break generational patterns - Choosing to be a “yeah” person, not “meh” - Retreat dates and how to sign up - Facing the fear of being judged - The beauty and raw excursions in Mexico - Workshops: mindset, functional medicine, and joy [ Read the Transcript From This Episode ](https://myersdetox.com/transcript661/) ### You are not responsible for anybody’s joy, but you can be an advocate.
