The Joy Ethic Show

Motivation - What is it and how can we find more of it?  I explore this theme with Rachael Crystal of Purpose and Potential https://www.instagram.com/purpose_potential/,  members of Chorlton Runners https://www.chorltonrunners.co.uk/ and Claire Trivino of St John's Centre, Old Trafford https://www.stjohnscentre.org/

This show focuses on how silliness, laughter, and play can help us deal with challenging situations, as well as build the capacity to face difficulty and knockbacks. First, we talk to Dave Few, a teacher, musician, performer, and coach amongst other things, about how he is building fearlessness through fun. https://www.youtube.com/@davefew7890 Next, we hear from members of the Stories of Our Lives group, a story-swapping, community-building project I lead in Chorlton, about times when laughter, song and silliness has helped them deal with life's ups and downs. https://storiesofourlivesnow.org/ We finish with a chat with Emran, a mental health nurse who talks about how not taking himself too seriously helps both him and his patients.

A show to remind us of what joyful living can sound and feel like. First we have the wonderful Joy France, talking about how after decades of staying as low profile as possible, in her fifties she decided to inject some variety in her life and started saying yes to interesting opportunities. One thing led to another until now, amongst other things, she is a poet, battle Rapper and Creative in Residence of Afflecks in Manchester. https://www.instagram.com/joyfrancewords We then have an uplifting and laughter-filled selection of stories from members of the Stories Of Our Lives community, where group members share their tales and thoughts on how small joys can actually be the most significant ones.
