#258 From Grief to Joy: SC Perot's Inspi...

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

In this episode of Heal Your Heartbreak, I'm thrilled to welcome the wonderful SC Perot, the author of "Styles of Joy." We dive into SC's incredible story of discovering joy in the middle of some serious life chaos. Picture this: a pandemic hits, her career takes an unexpected turn, and she goes through a really tough divorce—all at once. Just when everything seemed upside down, SC found an unexpected source of happiness in the music of Harry Styles. Not only did she become a superfan, but she also followed his concerts across five countries! Can you imagine? Through these experiences, SC really started thinking about what joy means, why we often overlook it, and how to keep it safe from things like judgment and jealousy. In our chat, we explore her CAPS framework—cultivate, adopt, protect, and spread—on how to create more joy in our lives. Whether you're dealing with a breakup or just looking to add more happy moments to your days, this episode is packed with uplifting stories and practical tips. I can’t wait for you to tune in and get inspired to find your own joy!
