You know that deep, fulfilling kind of JOY – the kind that feels light, effortless, and real? Somewhere along the way, it got buried under obligations, grief, self-doubt, or just… life.

You wonder: Is JOY still possible for me?

You’re not alone. Many women come to JOY SCHOOL feeling uncertain about their next steps, not sure how to find daily JOY in realistic ways that fit in with all of life’s demands.

But when was the last time someone asked: How are YOU feeling?
Somewhere along the way, you lost you. Your days feel like you’re just running through a checklist, not truly living.

You wonder: Where did my JOY go?

Melissa Bloom, founder of JOY SCHOOL.

I’ve been where you are. After years of putting everyone else first, I realized something was missing: my own happiness. I set out on a journey to rediscover JOY—and now, I’m helping women just like you do the same.

Here’s the truth: JOY is what you actively cultivate, despite (or in spite of) the messiness of life.

And inside JOY SCHOOL, I show you exactly how to do just that: through simple, life-giving lessons, a supportive community, and my compassionate guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time do I need to commit to JOY SCHOOL?

You’ll receive a short video lesson every two weeks that takes about 10 minutes to complete. Don’t worry! Your assignments are more ‘fun experiments’ to try out — there isn’t any real ‘homework’ to complete!

Is this like real school? Do I have assignments that I have to turn in?

No!! This is not real school! You never have to turn in anything. There are suggested assignments (and printable worksheets) but they are more practices and mindset exercises, not written ‘assignments.’

Do I ever get to meet the other students in JOY SCHOOL?

There is a live JOY SCHOOL call every 5-6 weeks. The call is led by your JOY SCHOOL creator, Melissa Bloom. You can submit questions to Melissa ahead of time and she will answer them on the call.

JOY SCHOOL is a month-to-month subscription. You never have to worry about being locked in – cancel anytime, no questions asked!
