Everyone alive will endure great pain-multiple times over the course of a lifetime and usually beyond our control. Integrative physician and activist Tanmeet Sethi's work focuses on shifting our nervous system and biochemistry into a form of joy at the cellular level. She believes that anyone can reclaim joy-as they reclaim their personal power, strength, and purpose-despite the burden of living in an unjust world, despite past traumas, and despite any platitudes that a whitewashed wellness world says about their capacity.
As a physician with a specialty in Integrative Medicine, Dr. Sethi has worked both on the frontlines with the most marginalized communities, as well as globally with victims of school shootings, survivors of hurricanes, citizens impacted by police violence, and psychologists in Ukraine under attack.
As a mother, she has received the impossible news that her youngest son has a fatal degenerative disease. As a Sikh, Desi woman raised in the American South, she has deeply felt the pain of separation, fear, and racism. So, when she urges us to access joy, she does not mean: "Be happy" or "be grateful," and certainly not, "be resilient." She means something more along the lines of: "Honor your pain, feel everything, and integrate joy as the healing practice you need as rocket fuel for your own personal justice." In her latest book, Joy Is My Justice, Dr. Sethi issues an invitation to everyone whom "wellness" has left behind to help them rediscover their joy-not as a destination or solution-but as a profound practice for healing.
Join Dr. Sethi and Pakistani American licensed marriage and family therapist Anjuli Sherin for a conversation about how to rediscover your joy and learn how to reframe joy as an act of resistance to reclaim your resilience and sense of purpose as a unique human right.
