157. Why Can't I Feel Happy Anymore? | How to Rediscover Joy When Life Feels Numb

Have you ever stopped and wondered... when was the last time I genuinely felt joy?


In this episode, I explore why so many people struggle to experience happiness, even when life looks fine on the surface.


I unpack how stress, emotional overload, and a constantly activated nervous system can disconnect us from joy, and why finding happiness isn't about chasing bigger moments, it's about learning to recognise the small ones we've stopped noticing.


I also share practical ways to regulate your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and use curiosity as a tool for rediscovering what truly brings you to life.


Because joy isn't something you find.

It's something you create space for.


Takeaways

👉Stress can disconnect you from joy.

👉Emotional regulation makes happiness more accessible.

👉Curiosity is the gateway to self-discovery.

👉You have to recognise joy before you can experience it.

👉Small moments often create the greatest happiness.

👉Joy grows when you give yourself permission to feel it.
