Microjoys: Finding Joy When Life’s Not Okay | Cyndie Spiegel

Microjoys: Finding Joy When Life’s Not Okay | Cyndie Spiegel

In the face of unimaginable grief and loss, author Cyndie Spiegel discovered the transformative power of "microjoys" - fleeting moments of lightness, delight, and hope that helped sustain her during life's darkest times.


In her book Microjoys: Finding Hope (Especially) When Life Is Not Okay, Spiegel shares poignant stories and profound insights on holding space for both joy and sorrow simultaneously. This compelling conversation is an invitation to stay present, embrace the full spectrum of human emotions, and find glimmers of unexpected grace even when happiness feels most elusive.
