Mama Mudra - The Joy Movement

The Joy Movement is about joyful living, positive psychology, happiness, and modern wellness, for anyone who wants to enjoy life again, not just optimise it.
We've never known more about wellness. Yet we've never found it harder to enjoy our lives.

If you've tried chasing perfect routines, productivity hacks, or wellness trends only to feel more exhausted than alive, you're not alone.
Wellness can become another performance project, and the harder you push, the further joy seems to disappear.

The Joy Movement offers a different path: joyful living rooted in positive psychology, movement, nutrition, brain health, and everyday practice. Instead of asking how to do more, this show explores how to create more joy, cultivate vitality, strengthen emotional wellbeing and resilience, and enjoy life again without sacrificing your ambition, health, or sense of meaning.

Hosted by Kate Thompson-Duwe, entrepreneur, joy advocate, and founder of Sunshine People, each episode explores what it means to live with greater purpose, connection, and joy.
Her approach is wellness without hustle: practical joy practices for intentional living, and everyday habits that support longevity and healthspan.

Whether you're recovering from burnout, looking for sustainable wellbeing, exploring conscious living, sober curious, or simply wondering how to find more joy every day, each conversation gives you practical ideas for building greater vitality, deeper connection, lasting resilience, and more joy in everyday life.

The Joy Movement is where the science of wellbeing meets the practice of joyful living. Here, you'll be introduced to Kate's growing philosophy of Joy Intelligence: the idea that joy isn't simply the reward for living well, but an important part of building a healthier, more meaningful life and greater human flourishing.

New episodes every Tuesday. Come as you are, and discover what changes when joy becomes the foundation, not the reward.
