EPISODE 234 – Joy Bracey, Ed.D., LPC, NCC attained her Doctor of Education in Executive Leadership at the University of Holy Cross in New Orleans, Louisiana and her Master of Education in Counseling at the University of New Orleans. She spent her early career in various leadership roles in the hospitality industry, then followed her passion for helping others by pursuing her Master’s in Counseling and providing mental health services for New Orleans’ most vulnerable women and children. She has spent over 11 years as the President & CEO of a non-profit addiction treatment & mental health agency while serving in leadership roles on numerous local and national boards, coalitions, and advisory councils. Joy uses her background, education, and experiences to spread the message about the life-changing impact of self-love and mindfulness. She hosts retreats and provides coaching and counseling to individuals to help them along on their journey of discovering the freedom that comes with letting go of perfectionism, people-pleasing, defensiveness, and other tools of the inner critic so they can fully embrace self-love and experience inner peace. She’s an Adjunct Professor of Self-Awareness at Teacher’s College-Columbia University, and is the host/creator of “The Easy Weigh Out” podcast. In the episode, Joy shares the advantages to weighing 300+ pounds, how she coped (and continues to cope with) “food noise,” how she broke free from emotional eating tendencies…and more!
