WFAE's "Finding Joy" explores stories of joy and hope, offering you a bright spot in the news landscape.

Charlotte Talks: How to find joy in a chaotic world

Life can be an emotional rollercoaster — one minute you’re up, the next minute it feels like the universe is conspiring against you.

During those times — whether it’s a health scare, a breakup, or a traumatic event — it’s hard to find the joy in life. Most adults will experience multiple severe traumas and losses throughout their lives. So how do we experience the good, even when we’re down?

That’s a subject that’s important to our guest Dr. Stephanie Collier, who works in the field of geriatric psychiatry.

It’s also the topic of WFAE’s new series “Finding Joy,” which explores stories of joy and hope, offering listeners a bright spot in the news landscape.

So, how do we find joy when it feels impossible? And where do we start?

Charlotte Talks: Finding Joy
Stephanie Collier, director of education in the geriatric psychiatry division at McLean Hospital, joins Charlotte Talks to explore how we can find joy, and why it's important that we do.
