The Joyfulicity Podcast
Let's face it - in a world full of pain and troubles, couldn't we all use a little (or a lot) more joy? But how do we find it, keep it and share it? We'll dig in on that and explore it together here, on the Joyfulicity podcast. What is Joyfulicity? It's my made-up word for the art of living happy. I'm your host Laura Wakefield, a single mother of 9, certified midlife discovery life coach, writer, travel host and yoga and beach lover. Dedicated to helping others discover and maintain greater peace and personal empowerment. Dare to Dream - Plan to Play - Live to Learn. Here's to living life with a smile.
Episodes
Since this podcast originally aired, I actually DID make the move down to the beach. And it WAS hard, but worth it.
I have a love affair with the ocean, but I would bet that you also have a dream, or goal that you've put off for al long time for various reasons. The question this episode asks is - What are you waiting for?
I adore butterflies. Their whole story fascinates me. The images of metamorphosis and positive change are embodied in them. We can learn so many lessons from them that can applied to our own lives as well.
Remember in your childhood when you went to the swimming pool and you were very frightened, but also really curious about the deep end of the pool? Come join me in this episode as we talk about the deep and shallow parts of the pool...and also of our lives.
All that weight of the world you are carrying around...wouldn't it feel great to put some of it down?
This episode gets a little personal, talking about some of the pain in my life that led me to write and speak about joy.

Do you ever feel like YOU are the weakest link in your very own life? Do you love yourself enough to make some changes?
My guest on this episode is my dear friend of over 30 years, Cindy Bell. She is a life coach, realtor, podcaster, and the author of "What the Fifty - a Girl's Guide to Unapologetic Living Over 50." Cindy approaches the topic of aging with honesty and humor - through her wisdom, anecdotes, and personal stories. She's a powerhouse personality and a warm, kind person. So excited to share our conversation with you.
FOMO - fear of missing out. We've all felt it before, haven't we? Or known someone who has? I think it's one of the leading causes of the discontent that's holding us back, individually and as a society, from experiencing much of the joy that life has to offer.
Happiness! We all want a little more of it in our lives, right? But why is holding onto it so hard? Well...because life is difficult. That will almost always be true, but we can still take some simple steps and retrain some habits to help make "happy" our default far more often.
Welcome to the very 1st episode of The Joyfulicity Podcast. I look forward to sharing thoughts and interviews with you, centering around how to lead a life of joy, even in these trying times that we live in, both individually and collectively. Sometimes life throws us curves and can feel a lot like crashing into a mailbox. But it's worth getting up and trying again, as many times as it takes.
