Don Faast has some stories to tell! 😂✨At 81, Don is brimming with enthusiasm, creative energy, and an unapologetic belief that anything is possible. In this conversation, he shares some of the extraordinary experiences that have shaped his life—and the childlike curiosity and willingness to say YES that helped him along the way.Don and Katie explore authenticity, our relationship with the divine, and how the beliefs we absorb growing up can limit the possibilities we allow ourselves to imagine.

Don also shares his passion for helping people rediscover their artistic abilities, reminding us that if you're breathing, you can draw and paint! 🎨Because perhaps doing the impossible begins with questioning the limits we've accepted—and being willing to find out what happens when we stop believing we're not allowed.✨ Explore Don's world:🌐 DonFaast.com🩷 katieharrison.co💌 [email protected]📝 Katie Shares Joy on Substack

Ted Smith spent much of his life with joy tucked away somewhere deep inside—a feeling that didn’t always feel safe to experience. Then, one morning at 5 a.m., an idea arrived: an Inner Council made up of the different parts of ourselves, all sitting down together for a conversation.What unfolded was hilarious, creative, deeply insightful…and unexpectedly joyful. ✨In this conversation, Ted and Katie explore what it means to rediscover joy, rather than discover it—as if joy was never really gone, just covered over by fear, conditioning, doubt, and the many ways we learn to protect ourselves.Ted shares his journey from living mostly “from the neck up” to allowing himself to feel the full range of human emotion—and discovering that joy and sadness, joy and grief, joy and fear can actually exist side by side. 💛They talk about creating from what feels fun rather than trying to please an audience, finding freedom in choosing how we want to live and love, and the beautiful connection between loving ourselves and experiencing deeper relationships with others.And then, because this conversation is nothing if not joyful, Ted introduces Katie to a practice called Seeing the Gold in You—a simple, beautiful invitation to notice the light in another person…and to practice receiving it when someone sees the light in you. ✨Prepare to laugh, feel, and maybe rediscover a little joy of your own. 💫Find Ted ✨YouTube:Ted Smith Life on YouTubeA few direct links to favorite Shorts:Inner CouncilInner Committee MeetingAnxiety Plans a Birthday PartyRediscovering JoyWebsite:🌐 TedSmith.lifeInstagram:@tedsmith.life on InstagramTed's book, Healthy Me, Happy We, on Amazon:Healthy Me, Happy We✨ Connect with Katie:🩷 katieharrison.co💌 [email protected]📝 Katie Shares Joy on Substack

She discovers that repeatedly trying to silence, suppress, or judge this part of herself may actually be keeping it alive.A passage from A World Made New offers a fresh perspective: instead of denying the parts of ourselves we'd rather not see, what if we allow them to be seen, honored, and lifted into the light?Katie shares the little love letter she wrote to her own "Miss Need for Approval," thanking this part of herself for how it once helped her, while gently releasing it to find freedom in creating simply for the joy of creation.Along the way, she reflects on the difference between creating for the little "sugar cube" hit of external validation and creating from the deeper joy of inspiration—and invites you to explore your own "sticky things" with curiosity, compassion, and perhaps even a little approval.In this episode:✨ Why the need for approval can keep resurfacing🍬 The "tiny dollhouse-sized sugar cube" of a social media like🎨 Creating for joy rather than external validation🌱 What happens when we stop judging the parts of ourselves we'd like to change💌 Katie's love letter to her "Miss Need for Approval"🦋 An invitation to explore your own sticky things✍️ Katie's first Substack, Katie Shares Joy✨ Connect with Katie:Website: katieharrison.coEmail: [email protected]: Katie Shares Joy
