Joy as a Parenting Resource: Science-Backed Tools to Prevent Burnout with Eva

Between the "to-do" lists and the emotional demands of raising children abroad, joy can feel frivolous—but it’s actually sustaining. In this episode of Dam Parenting, we sit down with Eva, psychologist and founder of The Joy Embassy, for a warm, honest, and direct conversation about why joy is a vital parenting resource. We explore the 2026 landscape of parenting and how simple, research-backed practices can strengthen your connection with your child and protect your mental health.

Eva explains the science of how joy functions in the brain and body to regulate our nervous systems. We discuss how to hold space for hard emotions without letting them overshadow the small, "glimmer" moments of daily life. This isn’t about being happy all the time; it’s about learning to notice, strengthen, and create moments of presence that help you show up as the parent you want to be. Tune in to discover how to make joy a sustainable part of your 2026 parenting toolkit.
