Real conversations for overwhelmed adults looking for more joy, presence, and intentional living in everyday life. Each episode shares practical ideas you can actually use without adding more pressure to your plate.
Hosted by S. S. Coulter
Modern life is loud.
We’re constantly connected, constantly consuming, constantly distracted, and somehow still feeling disconnected from the people and moments that matter most.
Let There Be Joy is a podcast about slowing down enough to actually live your life while you’re living it by hearing honest conversations with experts, creators, parents, and thinkers who share practical ideas for building a more intentional life.
Not perfection. Not productivity hacks.
Just real conversations that help you reconnect with joy, presence, creativity, family, and yourself.
A mindset shift. A better family rhythm. A more intentional way to use technology. A new habit. Or simply permission to slow down.
S. S. Coulter shares the personal story behind the podcast — why modern technology is quietly stealing our joy, presence, and imagination, and three practical strategies (the Swiss Army Phone, the unsubscribe habit, and Three in Three) you can start using today.

S. S. Coulter is an author, joy coach, and storyteller passionate about helping people reconnect with joy, presence, creativity, and intentional living.
She grew up in one of the last unplugged childhoods — and now explores how we can bring more of that connection, imagination, and humanity into modern life. Not by rejecting today, but by choosing what's worth our attention.
Through Let There Be Joy, she creates conversations that feel honest, grounding, hopeful, and practical.
Sometimes one good idea, one meaningful conversation, or one small shift in how you spend your attention can change far more than you think.
