Welcome back to Chasing Joy! In this episode, Spencer, Wayne, and Bryan dive deep into the art—and challenge—of pursuing happiness in everyday life. With Spencer’s radio-ready warmth, Bryan’s strategic insights, and Wayne’s rich experience as a former educator and behavior specialist, the crew unpacks what it means to “chase” joy, questioning whether the pursuit itself often places happiness just out of reach.
You’ll hear candid stories, including a moving account from Wayne about navigating trauma and change within his own family, and moments of down-to-earth humor that keep things real. The guys explore how life’s curveballs, from health crises to burnout, can force us to rethink what joy really is—and where we find it.
Packed with practical tools, the episode highlights simple, powerful reminders: hydrate, get some sleep, and remember to check in with yourself—sometimes the road to happiness starts with meeting our basic needs. Bryan shares how even a short break in nature can reset your mind, while Wayne breaks down how self-awareness and “low power mode” can guide us to healthier patterns. It’s a perspective-shifting reminder that the little things can have a major impact on our wellbeing.
Tune in and join the conversation as the trio shares hard-won lessons, laughs, and small steps we can all take to move a little closer to joy—no perfection required.
