I CERTAINLY have, at times in my life, and I KNOW I’m not the only one! The 3rd ice cream sandwich doesn’t have the JOY you need, nor does the 5th ice cream sandwich. I’ve definitely looked for it there! The 2nd bag of chips, the fourth glass of wine or whiskey…it’s not there either. Nor is it in a marathon streaming of your favorite show on Netflix. Those things can bring us pleasure, yes. Often, they bring temporary pleasure that comes with an uncomfortable heavy feeling afterwards, a hangover after the indulgence. True, resilient, blissful JOY…that feeling does NOT come with a hangover. There is NO discomfort after an experience of true joy. And we all deserve to feel true joy…no matter what lies behind us, within us, or before us. True joy has to be cultivated from within…no external, temporary pleasure can bring it to you consistently. It can be just as simple as slowing down your breath, noticing the sights, sounds, and sensations around you, and allowing yourself to feel a sense of peace in the moment, a connection with something greater than yourself, a wave of ease, flow, and gratitude. The good news is, true JOY is available to you, even if there are challenges in your life…maybe ESPECIALLY if there are challenges in your life! Sometimes feeling the depths of despair drives us to seek the experience of sustainable JOY more than anything else. There are simple tools that can help you create this experience of JOY, again and again…and again. The experience of JOY may be one of the strongest antidotes we have to addictive behaviors. When you learn how to cultivate joy from within, consistently… temporary hits of dopamine from external sources just start to lose their grip. If you need help learning to cultivate joy from within, amongst a community of supportive folks, join us for the Follow Your JOY Retreat in Rancho La Puerta…December 12-19, 2026. Not only will you experience 7 days of following your joy at the #1 rated International Wellness Retreat Center in the world,

Feeling Your Way Out: Breaking the Cycle of Eating and Shame Tuesday, September 29, 1 pm MT/3pm Eastern Join Internal Family Systems Practitioner and Somatic Dance Leader, Arlyn Alderdice, for this Transformative Class… What if breaking the cycle of disordered eating isn’t about controlling food, but learning to feel? In this masterclass, I’ll share my experience of discovering that the “known problem” of disordered eating was easier to tackle than the deeper, more mysterious question: Why am I not happy? I’ll help us explore how shame can keep us trapped in cycles of eating and avoidance - and how learning to feel an experience all the way through can begin to break that cycle. I’ll also share how becoming a life coach has given me a way to help others tackle the question I couldn’t fully name: What would it take to create a life you actually want to be in? Arlyn’s Bio: I work with people who know something needs to change but keep running into themselves. Your resistance isn't the problem, it genuinely is holding necessary information for the path forward. I love helping uncover and gently hold what is under the struggle using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Wayfinder Life Coaching tools and Somatic Presence. We get curious about what is really going on, and then things move. The business you've been avoiding that you suddenly, genuinely love. Finding creativity again after the deep grief of caring for a parent with dementia. The body you have dragged around and finally learn to care for and experience pleasure through. Self-trust. Integrated action. A life that matches your dreams for yourself; a life that begins to have room for the question - "what expression is wanted through me?" Arlyn Alderdice — Embodiment. Self-Leadership. Soul. Upcoming events and more: www.arlynalderdice.com
