Through both her volunteer work, and her business, Joy is using her superpowers to encourage people to sit in the stillness, to define their own version of success, and to live a life of creativity and a  life of kindness.

Welcome to Episode 24 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. Our guest is Joy Adan, a creative consultant, artist, storyteller, Mother, wife, daughter and sister.

Joy and Rhea chat about growing up in the Filipino culture, what it’s like to challenge our cultural norms, making intentional decisions, and the power of faith and stillness. Joy shares the expectations she felt being from a migrant Filo family, and the how these expectations shaped her life and decisions. That is until, about 10 years ago when Joy had a chat with her Dad, which made her question most everything she believed.

For the past 10 years, Joy has been listening to the whispers in her own heart to seek out what truly is important in her life. She has deliberately invested her time and energy into people, business and causes which make the world a better place, and has leaned into the experiences which make her heart sing.

Through both her volunteer work, and her business, Joy is using her superpowers to encourage people to sit in the stillness, to define their own version of success, and to live a life of creativity and a  life of kindness.
