  2. Lower The Stakes
  3. Find Ways to Make The Practice Non Negotiable

Journaling Prompts

  1. What did you LOVE to do as a kid? What did you "lose yourself" doing?

About the Podcast

The Party On Podcast: Finding The Joy In The Middle Of Life's Chaos
How to balance life's ups and downs, and start living on your own joyful terms.
Let’s face it, life isn’t always the party we thought it would be. So how to we find the JOY when we need it? And what if it’s up to us to create it? That’s where the party on podcast comes in. Our goal? To shine the proverbial disco light on the things that can make our lives easier, healthier, and a heck of a lot more FUN. So we can ENJOY the party we were all invited to, live our best lives, and dance like no one is watching.

Hi, I'm Allison. But my friends called me Alli. And I'm a self-proclaimed joy-a-holic. Does that mean I'm happy all the time? Nope! It just means I've learned how to prioritize seeking it, even when life gets hard. I fully believe that joy should be our baseline, and as we get older and life gets harder...we tend to lose our ability to access it. So here, we talk about how to find it again. We share tips on how to get through hard seasons, how to (finally) get the courage to pursue our dreams, how to stop worrying about what other people think of us, and so much more. In other words, we get all the pesky roadblocks out of the way so that joy can take centerstage, where it rightfully belongs. Just think of me as your personal hype girl. Disco ball and all.

So grab your headphones, go for a walk (because, dopamine) and have a listen. I promise you'll be inspired.

About your host

Alli Aars

Alli is a podcaster, mother, and CEO of The Festive Farm Co. But honestly, none of those hats qualify her to host a podcast on JOY. Those qualifications come from experiencing life's ups and downs, a good solid therapist, and a God-given desire to spread the party wherever she goes. She also loves laughing and donuts (in that order).
