What happens when a buttoned-up corporate lawyer trades her briefcase for feather boas and embarks on a whirlwind journey of 17 Harry Styles concerts across five countries?

In today's episode, I am joined by SC Perot, a Nashville-based author, speaker and die-hard Harry Styles fangirl whose work centers on rediscovering joy and authenticity in life’s most challenging moments. SC holds a law degree from Stanford and spent years as a corporate lawyer before embarking on a transformative personal journey. Her debut book, Styles of Joy: A Feel-Good Framework for Rediscovering Joy (with a Twist!), explores the intersection of grief and joy and offers a roadmap for cultivating happiness.

Throughout this episode, SC shares her transformative journey of navigating life post-divorce, leaving her high-powered career, and rediscovering herself through unconventional joy. She recounts how listening to Harry Styles’ music during long walks became a lifeline, eventually leading her to attend 17 of his concerts in five countries. SC introduces her philosophy of joy, structured into four actionable steps: cultivate, adopt, protect, and spread joy. She emphasizes the importance of finding joy in unexpected places and challenges societal norms around happiness and judgment. SC’s anecdotes about embracing new experiences, like traveling solo and connecting with strangers, provide a blueprint for living authentically and joyfully despite life’s challenges.
