Choosing Love in Chaotic Times: How to Lead with Love, Even When Fear Is Loud

Fear is loud right now. Choosing love is a conscious act—and one of the most powerful decisions we can make in chaotic times.
We are living in a moment where fear is easy to absorb and reactivity is often rewarded. Many of us feel it—in our bodies, our relationships, and our capacity to stay open. And yet, love remains available to us—not as a passive feeling, but as an intentional way of living life.
Tonight’s Intelligent Love Office Hours explores what it means to choose love even when we’re triggered, overwhelmed, or unsure. We’ll look at how understanding our personal barriers to love—our patterns, fears, and default responses—helps clarify who we are as partners and who we want to be at our best. From that clarity, wiser choices become possible.
We’ll also focus on how growth often lives inside the moments that feel uncomfortable. The very situations that activate fear can become invitations to shift from defense into curiosity—to advance to the next level in life, love, and partnership. This includes learning how to stay anchored in love even when we feel hurt, shut down, or stretched beyond our familiar edges.
And we’ll name an important truth: fear is a powerful tool for influence and control. When we remain unaware of how fear operates within us, it’s easy to be pulled off center. Choosing love—again and again—is not naïve or sentimental. It is a grounded, self-led act that restores agency, connection, and integrity.
Whether you are single or in partnership, this gathering is for those who sense that love—practiced, embodied, and consciously chosen—matters now more than ever. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your willingness to meet yourself honestly. Together, we’ll explore how choosing love becomes both a personal discipline and a steady way forward in uncertain times.
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your open heart. Intelligent Love Office Hours is a safe, engaging space to explore the nuances of modern love, emotional intelligence, and how to cultivate partnerships that can truly stand the test of time.

A Note from Joy:
After more than 20+ years studying the psychology, practical wisdom, and science of human connection — and through my own life experiences and extensive one-on-one client work — I’ve identified clear, impactful ways to make more intelligent, grounded decisions in love and dating. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to share these insights with you during my bi-monthly complimentary Office Hours.
