In today’s gentle bonus episode, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the power of micro-moments of joy—the tiny, sensory delights that can soften your nervous system and rewire your brain for gratitude, calm, and emotional resilience. Drawing from the research of Dr. Barbara Fredrickson and Dr. Rick Hanson, this episode reveals why joy doesn’t need to be grand to be transformative.

From the warmth of a morning mug to a single lyric that hits your soul, these small moments—when noticed and savored—become the building blocks of a more grounded, grateful inner world. You’ll learn the neuroscience behind these micro-moments, how they strengthen new neural pathways, and why the practice of pausing to savor beauty can shift your entire emotional landscape.

Take a slow breath, look around, and discover one tiny spark of joy in your environment. Let it land. Let it matter. And let today’s episode guide you back to yourself, one soft moment at a time.
