I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, for our next Candlelight Chat!

This one’s for you, if you’re interested in the idea of experiencing joy, whether or not your life is going well.

We’re very honored to host special guest Kate Bowler, Duke professor; host of the critically acclaimed podcast, Everything Happens; and author of seven books, including the instant bestselling book, Joyful, Anyway.

Here are just a few of the topics we’ll discuss with Kate:

  • Kate’s experience with cancer

  • How to feel joy even when life isn’t going well

  • The self-help and wellness industry

  • Resentment, sadness and barriers to joy

  • and much more.

As usual, we’ll also invite you to ask your questions of Kate. You’ll be able to talk to her either via the written chat, or by “raising your hand” and coming online to chat with her.

Also as usual, please have a candle handy, but don’t light it yet. We’ll do that together.

And don’t worry if you can’t make it live. We’ll send out a video recording to paid and scholarship subscribers next week.
