266: Why Joy Feels Scary and How to Let Yourself Feel It

August 06, 2025 • Aimee Beltran • Season 4 • Episode 266

Why does joy feel so scary? Why do we hold back when life is good, waiting for something bad to happen? In this episode, I’m sharing why joy is the most vulnerable emotion we can feel and how that fear keeps us from fully living. We’ll talk about why our brains default to “what if it all goes wrong,” how this ties into body image and weight loss, and why you don’t need a smaller body to feel joy right now.

I’m also giving you a personal update from my birthday and what’s making me grateful (and a little nervous!) in this season of life. If you’ve ever struggled to let yourself be happy without guilt or fear, this one’s for you.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
✔ Why joy is the most vulnerable emotion
✔ How fear of losing happiness sabotages your peace
✔ The connection between body image, weight loss, and joy
✔ Practical tips to embrace joy without waiting for the “perfect” moment
