In this energizing and heartfelt episode of Just Make It Pretty, Sarah sits down with Abbie Mirata, author, speaker, and joy coach for a conversation that’s part leadership deep-dive, part soul reset. With a background in corporate leadership and a heart for helping others rediscover joy, Abbie shares how intentional joy practices can shift teams, cultures, and careers.

We talk about the hard stuff: burnout, over-functioning, identity, and the pressure of doing it all. But we also explore how to find joy within it all, not after the checklist is done.

This episode is for the leaders who care deeply, the professionals running on empty, and anyone who’s wondering if joy and success can really coexist (spoiler: they can).

✨ In This Episode:
• Why joy isn’t just a personal goal—it’s a leadership strategy
• How over-functioning can hold you back
• The difference between real rest and "productivity breaks"
• How to find clarity in moments when everything feels blurry
• What it looks like to lead with empathy and endurance
