Meander Again: "The Joy Diet" by Martha Beck, chpt 5, "Risk"

Episode Summary

Welcome to our summer bonus episodes. As promised, we're revisiting Martha Beck's book "The Joy Diet: 10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life" by sociologist and life coach Martha Beck. I hope you'll enjoy these episodes as you sail through summer 2025!

Episode Notes

As the saying goes, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Risk is the pathway through something that you fear, which paradoxically, helps you grow. Risk is a skill you can practice, and this chapter helps you find your way through. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this episode. Please, share my work widely, and give the podcast a review to tease the algorithms. If you have comments or questions, please send them to:  meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com
