#68 From Living on Autopilot to Creating A Joyful Life w/ Joy Diwa

I recently interviewed Joy Diwa about the topic of living on autopilot. She was a highschool educator for 10 years, living paycheck to paycheck. During the pandemic she found herself putting in extra time and extra energy that she didn’t have which sent her into a downward spiral.

She was disassociated and numbing her feelings with various coping mechanisms. She said at one point, she felt absolutely nothing.

Joy tells her inspiring story of how she left a decade long career to find her own joy and create a life with more meaning and fulfillment.

She also shares tips for people who feel stuck in life and how she personally moves through phases of stuckness and self doubt.

If you’re in this phase now, remember that everything is temporary and there is always a way out.
