Reclaiming Joy

October 01, 2025 • Janelle Aaker and Danielle Mika Nagel • Season 1 • Episode 16

In this heartfelt episode of Coffee Unlimited with J & D, Janelle and Danielle explore what it means to reclaim joy in a world that often pushes us toward speed, productivity, and outcomes.

Danielle shares a moving story about reconnecting with the piano—a lifelong thread tied to her late mother—and how it has become a practice of joy rather than pressure. Janelle reflects on the beauty of choosing simple rituals, from flipping through magazines to writing with a fountain pen, and how these small acts can transform our days into something more meaningful.

Together, they discuss the power of slowing down, why joy feels different from happiness, and how reclaiming joy is not just about nostalgia but about actively choosing presence in our lives today.
