We are so excited to welcome Joy CEO, Lori Pine, to the show! Courtney and Lori proposed a few different angles to today's topic and seemed to have covered them all: how women suffer in silence, ways to rethink the competencies of those we care for, how to ask for and receive help, and how to invite/allow/insist upon joy in our lives.

This conversation touches on professional and familial obligations, with Lori and Courtney swapping stories about the process of divorcing, rebuilding life after that transition, entrepreneurship, creating spaces for rest, and whether one can be "too resilient".
