In early 2025, after releasing a few What Do You Know To Be True? podcast conversations on the topic of joy, a few audience members commented that joy felt inaccessible at the moment.
I loved what previous guests had said about how to joy, but this felt like an โ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐, ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ ๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐๐โ moment.
So, I reached out to several psychologists and neuroscientists to get their thoughts on how to access joy when itโs really hard, and Iโm so grateful that the Dr. Adam Dorsay answered the call!
Adam is about helping people find their thrive.
Itโs no wonder why this became one of the top conversations of 2025 on the What Do You Know To Be True? podcast.
Adam is a licensed psychologist and executive coach, the host of the award-winning podcast, ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฃ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ, a TEDx Talks, and the published author of the bestselling book, โ๐๐ข๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐โ๐๐: ๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐๐ ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ 4 ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ข ๐ฟ๐๐ฃ๐.โ
When I asked him the โhow to find joyโ question, he gave three great things people can do to find and access joy at any time.
The third one is highlighted in this clip: โ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต, ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ, ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ฟโ๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ.โ
When we are creating, we are taping into our agency and our innate playful self. Amie McNee, an artist and also had one of the top TEDx Talks of 2025, says โ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐.โ
When you are in the โcreatorโs chair,โ you are bringing forth something from inside you and putting it into the world with that intent to connect with others.
Your art, what you create with the intent to connect, is...
๐ generative
๐ generous, and
โค๏ธ deeply human
...which can be said about joy as well.
In the full episode, you will learn more about accessing joy and living a life where you thrive more:
