You don’t need to do more to feel better.
You don’t need to fix yourself to be worthy of joy.
You’re not broken — you’re just burned out from living in a world that asks too much and gives too little.

The Positive Pulse is a free, joy-fueled community for the worn out, the whimsical, and the wonderfully weird.
If you’ve ever felt out of place in hustle culture, allergic to toxic positivity, or tired of self-help that feels like homework—this is your invitation to something softer, smarter, and more you.

What’s Inside Positive Pulse?

💛 100+ helpful, playful video + audio tools for joy, calm, and self-trust
💛 Daily nudges and reminders that help you feel good without needing to earn it
💛 3+ monthly events to connect with fellow weirdos and feel less alone
💛 A safe, creative space that welcomes all parts of you—no pressure, no performance
💛 First dibs and special discounts on future programs, goodies, and events

This is the home for the Alt-Joy revolution—where healing looks like sidewalk chalk, pleasure is political, and being human gets to be weird again.

Come as you are.
Leave a little brighter.
