About the Podcast
Sometimes the best mental health medicine is knowing others understand what you’re going through. I started recording this podcast in May 2024 for those who complain, “The news is too depressing.” When my mother passed away three months later, listening to my guests’ stories of triumph over trials truly helped carry me through my grief, and motivated me all the more to help others “Discover the Joy.”

About Joy Purdy
Discovering joy is my obsession, and I’m excited to bust free from the storytelling style of my 30-year career to do it.
I’m a TV news anchor and 3-time Emmy award-winning reporter, but it’s my personal experiences that have given me fresh perspectives and sources of inspiration.
Wife to a retired cop, mom to a middle schooler and high schooler, stepmom to a millennial, and legal guardian for her late mother who was diagnosed with dementia, I understand that life can throw plenty of unexpected curveballs.
When you feel the daily squeeze of stress and uncertainty, discover your joy! Focus on the positive by listening to my interviews with life-changing experts and influencers, and people like you, sharing real experiences that go beyond the murder and mayhem of typical news headlines.
