How to Find Joy
This podcast is all about how to start finding joy through this messy thing called life.
Follow your host, June Suepunpuck, on her curious adventure to answer the question: “how to find joy?” during our most challenging human experiences.
As a Joy Guide, June has spent years helping people go from living uninspired lives to building ones that feel honest, aligned, and joy-filled.
In Season 1, you heard beginner-friendly tips and practical advice from guests who were experts in their field or had firsthand experience with major life lessons.
In Season 2, things get more personal. Instead of only learning from others, you’ll hear June share her own stories of reinvention in real time: the messy middle of motherhood, identity and career shifts, and starting over in a new city (again). This is not about perfect “3-step” formulas. It’s about the unpolished, often awkward process of letting go of old dreams, experimenting with what’s next, and finding joy in the middle of it all.
If you’re ready to get honest about what’s holding you back from true happiness, want to feel less alone in your own life pivots, and are curious about the small things that can make a big difference... you’re in the right place.
