What if chronic pain didn't have to steal your joy?


In this heartfelt episode, Dr Debora Sepich shares her extraordinary journey of resilience, transformation, and the power of radical joy. From a successful CEO to a professor and now a certified Joy Facilitator, Deb has worn many hats—but it wasn't until chronic pain humbled her that she discovered a new way of living, where joy and suffering could coexist.


Deb shares how she shifted from chasing success to serving with soul, and why aging can be vigorous, vibrant, and deeply meaningful. Whether you’re navigating pain, burnout, or a new chapter in life, this conversation offers a healing blend of wisdom, humility, and hope.


In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How chronic pain became the catalyst for Deb’s spiritual and personal evolution
  • Why "joy is a practice" and how to nurture it, even on your toughest days
  • Deb’s powerful concept of Chronic Joy and how it can transform your perspective
  • How seniors can reclaim their creativity, purpose, and voice, no matter their age
  • How to find energy even in the depths of pain
  • The importance of meditation, movement, and reframing as daily, non-negotiables
  • Why gratitude is the key to unlocking sacred discipline in your life
  • How choosing hope and showing up just 5% better each day can create a profound shift
