Why do we sometimes feel guilty for feeling good? Why does joy—a simple, beautiful human experience—feel like something we need to apologize for?
In this very first episode of Bonita Life, We dive deep into our complicated relationship with joy. From childhood messages that taught women to always put others first, to societal pressures that equate happiness with selfishness, we unpack the hidden roots of our guilt around joy—and why it’s time to break free.
You’ll hear:
🌸 Why joy can feel heavy or even shameful.
🌸 The cultural and societal conditioning that makes women question their happiness.
🌸 How choosing joy can be a quiet act of rebellion in a world that profits from our exhaustion.
🌸 Three powerful reminders to help you embrace joy, guilt-free.
🌸 A small but meaningful challenge you can try today to let joy back into your life.
This episode is an invitation to stop apologizing for your happiness, to remember that joy isn’t indulgence—it’s medicine, light, and an act of courage.
✨ Let’s keep the conversation going!
