Welcome to The Joy Randolph Show! A podcast for mothers to discover easy ways to increase their feeling of joy in their family, home, relationships, career and health. I'm your host Joy Randolph and I’m a Certified Wellbeing coach that’s obsessed with helping mothers increase their capacity for joy in the key areas of their lives - career, relationships, family and health. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by motherhood or parenting, stressed by your relationships, held back by your health or like you've lost your identity and purpose in your career, this podcast is for you. Over the past six years, through my coaching programmes, online courses and YouTube videos I've helped over 2 million women around the world pursue a more fulfilling life. Passionate about understanding mental health even better, I'm currently studying a Masters in Psychology. What inspired me to create this podcast is my own personal mission. As a wife and mother of two girls, my goal is to create a healthy and happy home. But after having my children, I realised how much harder it can be to feel joy as you expand your family and subsequently lose sleep and your identity, gain challenges in your marriage, and confusion around your career. This inspired me to research and get trained in supporting women through their matrescence, which is defined as the physical, psychological and emotional and financial changes you go through after the birth of your child. These changes can happen in the first seven years of your children's life. I'm passionate about discovering simple, yet effective ways we can embrace the journey of motherhood and create a healthy and happy home for ourselves and our family. On this podcast we dive deep into all the topics that impact your joy, from pregnancy and the early years of mothering, stress, burnout, fatigue and anger, in addition to trauma, your relationships, career, health and identity. My hope is by being vulnerable about my journey, sharing the research and training I've learned, and discussing important issues that have the power to negatively or positively affect your life, you feel you have the tools to get through challenging times and the space to be able to fully experience the joyful times. On every episode, I hope to share simple yet effective ways we can navigate the various areas in our lives and change our thoughts, behaviour’s and patterns so we more easily feel joy everyday, no matter our circumstances. Tune into this podcast every Tuesday to hear intimate stories, ideas, and steps that inspire the way you approach your life.
