On my YouTube channel I often get asked what a day in the life of me looks like. I've been putting this off for a while, because honestly, it's not really glamorous or exciting, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Being an entrepreneur, no two days are exactly alike because I do a lot of travel (which I forgot to mention in my video) and there's many times I'm out of the office doing talks or having meetings. I also have to work quite often in the evening once my daughter Vienna is in bed because I like to spend time with her after daycare, between 4 and 7pm. Like right now, it's 8:15pm in the evening and I'm writing this post! I'm not complaining, I just want you to know the reality.
Before you get to the video, I thought I would share five things with you that I love about my day.
FIVE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY DAY:
- Morning cuddles with Vienna follwed by our morning walk.
- Writing/blogging and recipe creating for the blog and for my third book, the Joyous Cookbook!
- On Tuesdays -- our team meeting with Rachel and Carol.
- Making dinner with Walker and Vienna.
- Cuddling with my hubs at night, after we shut down our computers and chillax.
Okay here is my video, I hope it's not a dreadful bore!! Any questions, please post them below and thank you for watching.
What's one thing you make a point to do every day?
Thank you for sharing insight into your day. Lots of great tips!

Hi Joy Love your video! I have Joyous Detox and love your ideas and recipes. I’m 70 years old and always looking for a way to live healthy. I’m retired now but busier than ever doing yoga, art classes and courses at Ryerson. Also I have a grandchild and we take him to soccer and swim classes as his parents work weekends. Busy, busy. But I read and of course there’s Netflix. Must learn to put down devices earlier. Take care Glenna Shiaman Live joyously. ( haha sounds like Starwars or something)
ReplyHey Glenna, That's awesome! You sound like quite the busy bee :) Thanks so much for sharing a day in your life! Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Loved your video Joy! I am so excited about your new book can’t wait to get one. I have all your books so far and love them. I just need to follow them more. I love walking but do not like cooking. That is the hardest part for me. Enjoy your day and thanks for sharing.
ReplyHey Angela! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and that you're loving all things Joyous Health! Walking is great :) It's great that you actually love it too! Don't stress about doing everything all at once. Even if you are doing 3 of the things from Joy's books, that's better than nothing. Start small and build upon it :) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Everyday I begin my day with oil pulling between 10-20 mins, then I drink 6 ounces of lemon water on an empty stomach. Makes my day fabulous because it was me time.
ReplyThank you for doing this video. It's so insightful and shows how much intention and love you put into you family life and business. xxoo
ReplyLoved watching this video! Wondering if you have a cleaning or laundry service and, if not, how this fits into your week. This is an area we are still trying to get a handle on!
ReplyHey Chrissy! So glad you enjoyed the video. Joy doesn't have an on-going cleaning or laundry service but once in a while she has someone come in to do more of a deep cleaning :) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Joy, you're so fortunate to be able to create a life of ease and flow like this! It's something I aspire to. I love what I do (I'm in the environmental field) but my life is hectic and it has taken a toll on my health (I'm actually working with a couple of your colleagues from the Nutritionist College). I'm happy to see examples of how people have made their lives work. Thanks for sharing! Btw, what type of a school does Vienna go to, if you don't mind me asking?
ReplyHey Izabela! If it makes you feel any better, Joy was in the exact same position as you were at some point ;) We all have the power to change the course of our life if we really want to and design the life of our dreams! Don't forget that :) Vienna goes to a Montessori school in Toronto. Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Wow! what a gorgeous adorable daughter you have! On another note , You have made me realise I eat way too much lol
ReplyHey Em, Thanks for the kind words (on behalf of Joy!) I highly doubt you are eating too much, unless you personally feel overly full after everytime you eat :) Joy was actually a bit hesitant to put this video out and show what she eats in a day because she didn't want people to think they had to eat the exact same as her. Everyone has different needs based on their genetic blueprint, activity levels etc so what one person eats is naturally going to differ from the next persons :) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Great video! Would love to see a more in depth post on Joy's fitness routine.
ReplyHey Stef, Thanks for the kind words! We'll definitely keep that in mind moving forward :) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
