48: What is Joy?

"Joy is who we are when our hearts are at their wildest. It's the integration between our doing and our being."

- Duncan Cheung

"Humor has always allowed me to get closer to my grief, explore it, and better understand it by creating a gateway into the hard feelings that isn't so scary, so heavy. And when I'm deep in my grief, humor lets me come up for air, and then go even deeper." 

- Dara Kosberg

"Happiness comes from the things that happen to us. But joy, I believe, is a state of being that we can nurture from within."

- Naila Francis

"Joy takes into account the full spectrum of feelings. Joy is the both /and. In other words, joy can be felt at any time for any reason with other emotions like grief. Joy is a release, Joy is living in flow."

-Sarah Davis

Discussion about this podcast

Breathing Wind Podcast
Breathing Wind
Breathing Wind is a podcast about grief and loss and how we journey with these lifelong companions.
Naila Francis, grief coach, writer and former journalist and Sarah Davis, podcast consultant, speaker and writer, are cohosts. We offer warm, honest and insightful conversations for the introspective at heart.
Launched in 2019 as a personal grief project, the podcast struck a chord with listeners looking for a space to feel less alone in their grief. Quickly, a dedicated community grew around the candid and compelling conversations with others who knew grief just as intimately and those who offered guidance for navigating this universal human experience.
In its three seasons of publishing monthly episodes, Breathing Wind has become a trusted space to explore who we become and how we make meaning in the midst of our post-loss lives. It's also the place where joy, laughter, wonder and possibility co-exist alongside deep heartbreak.
