In Case You Missed It: JOYHeals, the book, workshops, corporate trainings, and more
|
Hey all, Not sure about all of you, but 2026 is off to a thrilling start as I share the news that I am officially a published author. My first book, JOYHeals, What if it Could be Easy? poured out of me last March and when it did I realized the book became the guide I needed to better help people navigate the workshops I have been leading for the past several years. I had been teaching this work in a more "meta" style at local public workshops, women's leadership retreats across the country, corporate lunch & learns in NY and CA, yoga retreats in the islands, and at privately curated events from bachelorette parties/weekends to a multi-hour event for a team of psychologists. I would like to think that most of us would willingly gravitate toward more joy if we only knew how. Well - JOYHeals is one way to try and figure it out. This book, is an interactive opportunity to look at your relationship with joy, what you were taught about it, how you may want to experience more of it and offers 15 areas to explore tactical ways to experience joy. Its my hope that JOYHeals changes the way we live, work, connect and lead. Here is the link to buy a paper copy. Each purchase gives you access to bonus content that you will discover as you work through each of the joy expressions. I will have digital copies back on sale soon. I hit some tech issues so those copies are still only available for purchase directly from me at the moment. If interested in a digital edition, please email me at Gabrielle@GabrielleGarofalo.com with the subject "JOYHeals digital edition" and I will respond back with a purchase link. If anyone wants to talk about hosting a lunch & learn, retreat day or weekend, corporate event or other type of experiential version of JOYHeals, that is where the magic really happens. Together we can curate a beautiful experience lasting from 2 hours to, well...sky's the limit. Click here to schedule a time for us to connect and talk about it. I am excited to explore all the possibilities - couples who want to reconnect, girlfriends who crave a fun weekend away, corporate leaders who know that the mental health crisis is crushing productivity - joy could be the conduit for leveling it all up. I love this work. I know joy has helped me heal in ways that other modalities could not. I have spent a lifetime seeking calm amidst the chaos and I know for sure joy is a way to navigate back to presence with ease. More presence? Who doesn't want more of that?! xo Gabrielle

Happy December! Somehow, this time of year finds many of us somewhere between feeling the rush of a new year and all we dream for ourselves, amidst the utter exhaustion of surviving 2025 (only a few more days to go!). It feels like a season of doing and resting. Planning and reflecting. Socializing and hibernating. Does that resonate with any of you? I know it does for many of my clients, colleagues, and now, I'd love to hear from you too! How does closing out 2025 feel? Energizing! I am...
October came in hot, and so did 58!! If you have spent any amount of time with me, you know I love to celebrate my birthday (October 11th!) and this year was no different. Despite having just moved into a new place on October 1st, I decided to host a little soiree for myself—complete with a raucous group of friends, fire pit, laughs, great food, twerking, and tequila shots (yes, even though I don't drink much anymore, I indulged too!). I think everyone ought to go all out on their birthday....
a view into my office | Garofalo LaRocca Lineage my parents It's June!!! Yesterday I was sitting outside on my back porch taking a break from preparing for a dinner party I hosted last evening and I clicked "new music mix" on Apple Music and the first song that came on was something new by Sheryl Crow and I was immediately drawn in. Soon I was sobbing. I never heard the song before yet I knew it was meant for me to hear, in that very moment because I knew it was meant to be shared with all of...
