Welcome to Episode 38 of the Next Level Voices Series on Kultivation w/ Kevie! In this empowering episode of Kultivation w/ Kevie, I sit down with Amy Dickens, creator of Joyfully You, author of 101 Ways to Spread Joy, and a leading voice in helping adults reconnect with fun, creativity, and the parts of themselves that feel most alive. Rooted in her background in yoga, meditation, coaching, and nervous system healing, Amy shares why joy and play are not childish extras, but essential tools for mental health, emotional resilience, and authentic self-expression.We explore the broader meaning of play, how joy acts as fuel for creativity and well-being, why childhood passions leave powerful clues for adulthood, and how joy can regulate the nervous system in ways many people don’t expect. Amy also opens up about her “follow your joy” year — a transformative chapter sparked by heartbreak — and how choosing joy helped her rebuild her confidence, identity, and inner aliveness. Her mission is simple but profound: to remind us that joy is a choice, a practice, and a gift that radiates outward to everyone we meet.🔗 Stay ConnectedInstagram | Threads | TikTok | Facebook | LinkedIn🌐 Website📱 Connect with Amy DickensInstagram | TikTok | YouTube🌐 WebsiteNeed help editing your own podcast episodes?Book my editor on Fiverr → Click HereExplore all of my favorite creator tools — including StreamYard and Descript — on my Affiliate Links page → Click Here🔶 Interested in being a guest on Kultivation w/ Kevie: A Self-Empowerment Podcast?Send me a message on PodMatch → Click Here
