Middleburg Heights Branch

Meeting Room A/B (120)

Reconnect with the child-like joy inside you and learn how to incorporate it into your daily life.

As kids, joy came easy.  It was finding a prize at the bottom of a cereal box or hearing your favorite song on the radio.  But as adults, responsibilities and the weight of life often squeeze that joy right out of us. The good news? Joy isn't gone -- it's waiting to be reclaimed.

No matter how busy you are, you can choose to make space for fun, laughter and delight again. Join Kamna Jain for a lively discussion on how to bring joy back into your life -- intentionally and unapologetically.

Kamna Jain is an Internationally Certified Health Coach, and co-host of the podcast Weight What? She helps to make people have a better quality of life by looking at the holistic picture. Nutrition, activity, stress, relationships, and joy all impact one's health and ultimately their happiness. She has three grown children and lives with her husband. She is an active bowler, loves to play games and her ideal day is a beautiful hike.
