Key Takeaway
Joy is an inside job. Instead of editing your authentic self to fit into oppressive systems, you can use the liberation framework—Recognize, Release, Reclaim, and Rise—to reclaim your joy, boost your well-being, and ultimately create a more positive, productive, and inclusive environment for yourself and others.
