Here’s the thing - life is tough and it can leave us feeling pretty broken at times. But you don’t have to LIVE broken. Author and speaker, Mattie Jackson, is sitting down with inspiring authors, musicians, and entrepreneurs to uncover how they’re chasing the good in life and why they’re intentionally choosing joy even when life has knocked them down. Through personal stories and humorous encounters, these conversations are like sitting down with life-long friends – friends whose own courage to live joyfully will equip and encourage you to do the same. No matter the hurt you’ve experienced or what unknowns may lie ahead, there IS joy waiting for you - right here, right now. And Mattie is here to help you find it. This is the In-Joy Life Podcast.

9. Is Hurry Stealing Your Joy?

A question I’ve been asking a lot lately is not just how can I seek after joy, but also what are some everyday enemies of it? 

And one of these enemies I’ve been thinking, reading, and talking a lot about recently is: hurry.

If you’re honest, when is the last time you went through an entire week or day without feeling hurried or rushed?

And is this crazed pace of life you’re living, the chronic hurriedness of your heart, stealing your joy? 

Tune in to this episode as I dive into:

  • How to lessen hurry and to experience more joy,
  • The unusual word of the year I chose – and why it’s harder than I thought it’d be, and
  • Intentional steps I’m taking to become more present everyday

What if joy is somewhere right in front of you? Don’t you want to savor it too?
