In today’s episode of The Render Podcast, we are chatting about remembering to find joy in the small things. While that may not sound like it would be hard, it actually can be if you do not prioritize it. Finding joy during all seasons of life is what helps keep you going because without joy in your life, what else is there?
We have categorized joyous moments into three categories that can fit into any one’s life. Tune into today’s episode to learn more about how to find joy in the small things and we even have a freebie just for you!

This time can feel like all of the emotions — exciting, overwhelming, refreshing, and exhausting. It is a lot and we know it! Finding ways to manage all of these emotions is hard but instilling that you know exactly how to bring yourself joy is going to be the game changer for you.
