How to Build a Business (and Life) That Actually Feels Good with Jillian Schecher
What if joy wasn’t just a feeling you stumbled on—but a strategy you practiced daily? In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Jillian Schecher: Joy Mentor, educator, podcast host, and creator of The Joy Method. We talk about redefining success, what it really means to lead with joy (especially as a small business owner), and how to cultivate abundance and alignment—without the burnout. If you’ve ever felt like business has to be hard to be worth it, this conversation will shift something big for you.
Key topics covered:
- Why joy is more than a fleeting emotion—and how it can be your business edge
- How to make joy a daily, doable practice without adding to your to-do list
- Rethinking “success”: how to move from burnout and survival mode into alignment and ease
- The powerful link between energy, emotion, and abundance (including money!)
- What it really looks like to “enroll support” and build a team that lights you up
Because when you make joy your strategy—not just your reward—everything changes.
