The Joy You’re Overlooking Everyday with Shari Alyse

What Have You Already Missed by Rushing Through Your Life?

You are in for a truly special episode this week on Look for the Good when I welcome American’s Joy Magnet and bestselling author, Shari Alyse.

This 2x TEDx speaker may give you full-body chills as she shares a deeply personal and heartfelt story of discovering joy—and a powerful perspective on why we’re really here—all while dancing for her ailing father during his battle with ALS. It’s one of those moments that stays with you.

And what she did next is just as powerful…

Shortly after her father passed, Shari honored his wish in the most beautiful way—by hitting the road in an RV and creating her 8-episode show Joy Ride, traveling across the country to interview people about joy…uncovering its true meaning while helping all of us respark our own along the way.

You won’t want to miss the simple but profound secret she shares about focus—and how it can completely determine your joy factor on any given day.

Stay all the way to the end when Shari offers 3 powerful (and practical) tips to help you step more fully into the present moment—because that’s where the magic actually lives.

You’ll also love her easy-to-remember reframe that helps you decide who you want to be before you even walk into a room. (Game changer.)

And if you fall in love with her energy (you will), be sure to check out her hit streaming talk show, Good Morning Joy, where she spreads inspiration and positivity daily.

This one is jam-packed, heart-opening, and exactly what you didn’t know you needed. Tune in to Look for the Good every Monday at 5am and 5pm here on Dreamvisions7 Radio Network.

What you’ll take away:

• How your focus shapes your daily experience of joy

Using Defiance to Build Resilience in Life’s Hardest Moments with Julia Fox Garrison

What if the very things you wish never happened… were actually shaping something beautiful?

This week on Look for the Good, I’m joined by Julia Fox Garrison—award-winning, bestselling author and speaker—who truly embodies what it means to turn lemons into lemonade.

After a massive stroke left her without function on one side of her body—and a later battle with cancer—Julia didn’t just survive… she found a way to thrive.

And how she did it will stay with you long after you listen:

• You’ll hear how she describes defiance as a form of resilience
• How one powerful sentence helped her reframe cancer—and changed everything
• And why the words you speak (to yourself especially) matter more than you think

If you’ve ever felt stuck in regret, weighed down by “should-haves,” or caught in a loop of negative stories… this episode will help you shift your perspective and start living your best life now.

This is one of those conversations that gives you goosebumps—and leaves you deeply grateful for the little things we often take for granted.

Tune in LIVE: Monday 3/23/26 5AM & 5PM EST Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network Listen on the radio here: https://dreamvisions7radio.com/look-for-the-good/

BIO: Julia Fox Garrison grew up in in a loving, if chaotic, household with eight brothers—an upbringing that no doubt made her battle-ready for the fight of her life. At the age of 37, while busy raising a family and building a career, her plans and dreams were changed forever by a sudden and severe stroke. Thus, Julia began a journey of recovery, rediscovery, and reinvention. Out of adversity came an accomplished author, dedicated healthcare advocate, and powerful motivational speaker.

To this day, she continues to overcome the effects of her stroke while sharing her message of patient-based healthcare and humanity-based business through her writings, talks, and presentations.

“A stroke (literally) of luck helped define the essence of her life. Her inspirational story can help us find ours.” —Dr. Oz

Wielding her trademark humor, unwavering optimism, and the wisdom of firsthand experience, Julia challenges her audience to take on the perspective of those they serve and lead.

The Loneliness of Grief and How Community Helps Us Heal with Jennifer Newberg

If you value stories that are raw, honest, and unedited, this episode will stop you in your tracks.

This week on Look for the Good, join me for a deeply moving and nakedly candid conversation with Jennifer Newberg, founder of It’s Lifey and HopeHub. Jennifer shares the life-altering moment that unfolded on what was supposed to be her dream trip to Greece—an unwanted surprise that changed everything and forever reshaped her world.

If you’ve ever experienced the gut-wrenching grief of losing someone you love, you will feel this conversation deep in your bones. Jen speaks honestly about how loss doesn’t just break your heart—it can sideswipe your nervous system, leaving you feeling isolated, disoriented, and painfully alone.

And yet, this is also a story of hope.

In the tender aftermath of her own loss, Jen found a way to transform her pain into purpose. She created a powerful community for widows who have lost their person—to help them find their people. What emerged is a reminder that even in the deepest grief, connection is possible, healing can begin, and you don’t have to grieve in silence.

This is a special, soulful episode—one that may change the way you think about loss, loneliness, and the quiet strength found in community. Don’t miss this heartfelt conversation on Look for the Good.

What Listeners Will Walk Away With

• A deeper understanding of how grief and loss impact the nervous system—and why loneliness after loss is so common
• Permission to grieve honestly, without shame or silence
• Inspiration for turning pain into purpose and finding connection when life feels unrecognizable

BIO: Jennifer Newberg is a speaker, storyteller, and founder of It’s Lifey, an organization helping widows rebuild life after loss through community. Her own journey through sudden widowhood fuels her mission to create spaces of authenticity, compassion, and connection. In 2026, Jen will launch HopeHub by It’s Lifey, a platform for community, support groups, expert advice and events.

Hey friends,

Some days are harder than we ever imagined. The quiet can seem louder. And the world can feel like it’s moved on… without us.

That’s why HopeHub by It’s Lifey was created— a private, supportive community built for widows who are tired of pretending they’re “fine” and want real connection, real support, and real hope.

If you—or someone you love—lost their person and longs for others who get it, visit www.itslifey.com/hopehub

That’s www.itslifey.com/hopehub

Because loneliness is brutal… but community heals!
