Transcript

As a leader, you move fast, solve problems, and drive outcomes—but are you also creating the energy you want to lead with?

In this episode of Courage & Purpose, I sit down with Sherry Richert Belul—GrowthDay’s Director of Joy, founder of Simply Celebrate, and author of Say It Now—to talk about something every high achiever needs but rarely prioritizes: intentional joy and connection.

We unpack how micro-celebrations, joy triggers, and courageously authentic appreciation aren’t just feel-good extras—they’re strategic tools. The kind that fuel sustainable performance, deepen meaningful relationships, and infuse your work with purpose—regardless of the pressure or pace.

This conversation is for the high performer who’s tired of checking boxes and ready to create a life—and career—that actually feels joyful.

Because joy is fuel. And when you learn how to generate it intentionally, everything else in your business—and life—elevates.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

Why joy and celebration are powerful tools for energizing the way you lead
How to create authentic, meaningful connection in fast-paced environments
Simple shifts to move from transactional to relational communication
How small, thoughtful gestures can transform those around you—and your own energy
What it looks like to lead with heart and humanity, even under pressure

🧠 Key Insight:

“Look for the glimmers. Tiny sparks of light that remind you—there is beauty, connection, and meaning right here. You just have to celebrate now— and say it now.”
