In this episode of Slightly Radiated: Fully Human, we, Monica and Rebecca, explore the layered and often complicate relationship with joy after cancer. Is it permissible to feel joy and what role does it play when life feels uncertain or heavy? What does joy look like and how do we notice it in the midst of healing, grief, or fear?
Together, we explore how joy shows up in everyday moments - from the smell of morning coffee, or dog’s waggy tail, to time spent in nature. We reflect on joy as a radical act of healing, tied to mindfulness, gratitude, and presence. This conversation is both tender and grounding, offering gentle reminders that joy is not frivolous - it’s essential.
