Where's Your Pot o Gold? As I was thinking about the topic this week, the St. Patrick’s Day leprechaun myth came to mind. So my question again to you is where’s your pot o’ gold? Is it somewhere over the rainbow or right in front of your face?

**Hey Joychasers! Glad you made it or made it back to the podcast where we will have thought provoking conversations, sometimes listening to a guest or two, and chasing after joy in living color!  

Did you know that a person drinks coffee on average 3 or more cups a day. Whoaa, that’s a lot. Did you also know that the average American spends up to $2-$5 for a cup of coffee? This does not include your specialty coffees. Humans like coffee and they like it a lot regardless of the price.  But have you ever thought about slowing down and going by the saying “slow down and smell the roses” but instead of that saying changing it to “slow down and smell the coffee.”

Hello Joy Chasers!
I have rebranded my podcast Bringing Joy to Life to Chasing After Joy! Just in case, you are new to my channel, I'm Dr. Joy. I am a retired public school educator, content creator, a girl boss, and an overall positive person. I rebranded my podcast because I believe in the statement "Chasing After Joy and Following Your Own Path"! It took me a long time to get here, but I'm here standing boldly as I chase joy by following my own path.

We have so many choices in life. These choices ebb and flow throughout and we have to quickly make up our minds to chase after joy. This podcast will help you do that. Chasing after joy is not perfection! It is an experience. I want to give you options as you chase after joy, so join me for the chase and follow your own path.

Let's get motivated and chase after joy!I am a Joy Chaser 4EVA and so are you! Join the community and look forward to some fantastic conversations on my podcast. Let's Chase! Uploading Every Wednesday!
