Hoda is the best

This is day two and I feel
Like it is just what I need to move forward from grief and onto a new path. I truly feel Hoda created this just to share her knowledge and help others . Looking forward to this new program daily. Love the variety so far.

Love it!!!

An app that brings me joy with short content. I’ve replaced the doom scroll with this and I’m loving it!

1st Day

The routine was wonderful!

What We All Need

I love bringing in the joy with this app. Having attended the spring retreat in Scottsdale, the app integrates the principles I learned and treasured. Hoda knows what our hearts need in this noisy world and this brings more joy into our lives.

My name is Joy

Thank you God. I needed this so much today and I’m so grateful for you and I.

Joy + Calmness + Strength

This app has become a daily necessity for me. I start my day with gentle guidance and affirmations, and end it with techniques for calmness and relaxation. I find that I have less stress and anxiety, and I am more focused on finding joy in my life!

Gods

She in herself is an inspiration to me. I’m using this App so I can expose with Joy. I’ve suffered through terrible loss in the last few years. I loss my dear sister who was my best friend, my emotional support dog a year ago and my mom a few months ago.
I’m usually a joyful person and want to be more joyful even with these losses. I want people to know me for my joy and positivity.
Thank you.

hoda is a joy

just seeing and hearing Hoda makes me happy!

Love the depth and breadth of this app!

Such a wonderful collection of professionals in this app. Sara Auster is definitely at the top of my list of favorites!

Just what I needed

I I’m so thankful I picked up the good House keeping magazine at the library and saw HOD’s interview.my mom passed away at 88 2 months ago and I’m caring for my dad who has dementia. I found myself struggling with grief and caregivers guilt. What next was on my mind. How do I balance my life with my dad and my home life. The first day of this app helped me answer some of those questions. Thank you, Laurie

Positive Experience

I’m naturally a positive person that strives to be happy and to find joy. Joy 101 continues to support and expand my mindset. The content is exceptional quality and provides food for thought to continually improve and choose joy everyday! Many thanks to Hoda and team!

Validation emails won’t come through

I’ve reached out to Customer Service a couple of times about this and I’m still not receiving any validation email so even though I signed up for the app, I can’t use it

Love it!

I love Hoda and I love this app! So many good things to try! I love the breathwork. And I love getting to watch little inspiring videos from Hoda. Thank you, Hoda! ❤️

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t start unless you give it your personal information like email etc. It’s not nice to force users to give their information for some happiness advice.

Joy 101 App

I love the way I have something waiting for me each morning! I can save my favorites. Plus you can search by categories when you want something specific.

Small commitment, big return

Just a few minutes a day has helped me shift my focus on what really matters. Appreciating what I have, being gentle with myself, and quick exercises I can do to wind down and get centered. More breath work please!

…bringing joy

I love the joy101 app! There is always something everyday that brings me joy or helps me to find some peace.

Can’t thank you enough!

The level of expertise of these coaches is far beyond my expectations. In just a few minutes a day they make a huge difference in my life. I look forward to practicing with them every morning and many evenings as well. I started following some of them and reading their books. All so lovely! 🙏🩷
