In Part 1 of this conversation, Teresa and Winsome focus on the foundations of finding joy during stressful and uncertain seasons.

They explore why joy starts with the basics — caring for your body, protecting your mental space, and creating small, intentional practices that help you feel steady when everything feels like a lot. This episode is about slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and remembering that joy doesn’t have to be big or dramatic to be meaningful.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why joy matters most when life feels heavy
• The importance of self-care basics like sleep, nourishment, and movement
• Creating boundaries to protect your mental and emotional energy
• Simple gratitude practices that support resilience
• Remembering what brings you joy when stress makes it hard to see
