#183 | Reclaiming Joy in Life’s Hardest Seasons

In this powerful episode of Contagious Culture, Kyle sits down with Peggy Doherty DeLong to explore how to build a life rooted in joy, resilience, and purpose, even when life doesn’t go as planned. Drawing from over 30 years of experience and her own journey through loss, Peggy shares how grief and gratitude can coexist and even work together in the healing process. They unpack the hidden beliefs that keep high-achieving women stuck, the identity shifts that come with midlife, and the practical tools that help people reconnect with themselves. Peggy also introduces her Prioritize P.E.A.C.E. Method™, offering simple, research-backed strategies to strengthen mental health and move forward with intention. This conversation is a powerful reminder that joy isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you build along the way.
