My name is Yasmin Nguyen, and I am on a mission to inspire more joy, connection and freedom in our lives.

I created the Joyful Living Project to activate positive change and build thriving relationships, businesses, and communities.

I packed up my life and I drove across America for 18-months to explore 3 basic questions: 

  • What does joy look like in our lives? 
  • How can it positively impact our relationships, businesses, and community?
  • What’s holding us back from experiencing more joy?  

 

I believe that by exploring these questions, we have the opportunity to expand possibilities and transform the way we live, the way we connect, and the way we make a difference. 

I believe that from this seed of joy grows hope, possibility, kindness, love, gratitude, empathy, and connection that can transform our lives, relationships, and country.

I believe that in every moment, we have the choice to focus on what’s wrong or what’s good.  My mission is to invite people to choose joy.

 Organizations and Conferences Yasmin has been Invited as a Speaker
