0:05:54 Interview with Amy Dickens

  • Amy Dickens is a leading voice on joy, play, and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves that make us feel most alive. She’s the creator of Joyfully You, where her mission is to help adults rediscover the transformative power of joy and play—not as something frivolous, but as a vital part of well-being, creativity, and authentic living.  With her background in yoga, meditation, and coaching, Amy has guided people through healing and self-discovery for years. Now she channels that wisdom into her playful videos, her podcast, getting people quite literally dancing through the streets, and her new book 101 Ways to Spread Joy.  Amy reminds us that joy isn’t just for kids—it’s fuel for our souls.
