OWN THE MOMENT. BEFORE IT
OWNS YOU.

The Own the Moment Challenge is a simple 60-second reset that teaches you how to navigate emotions in real time. Using the Chair of JOY and the steps, Sit. Breathe. Think. Feel., you learn how to pause, regulate, and respond instead of react. It quickly makes emotions manageable and mentionable so they support better decisions, stronger relationships, and performance under pressure. This is often the first step into the JOYELY experience.

JOYELY® provides a science-backed system to help people recognize, regulate, and navigate emotions in real time using the JOY Intelligence™ Framework.

JOY Intelligence™ is the ability to work with emotions as useful information in the moment so you can think clearly, act intentionally, and perform at a higher level.

Most people lose control in the moments that matter most. JOYELY teaches you how to stay steady and respond with intention instead of reacting. We expand your emotional vocabulary and create a shared language so you, your friends, coworkers, teams, and organizations can recognize, express, and work through emotions more effectively. When emotions are understood and expanded, energy increases, communication improves, and better outcomes become possible for yourself and others.

Individuals, leaders, organizations, clinicians, families, and communities who want a practical way to handle emotions in real time.

Sit: Signals safety to the body and creates a physical and mental anchor

Breathe: Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing heart rate and calming the stress response

Think: Re-engages the prefrontal cortex so you can process and make intentional decisions

Feel: Allows emotions to move through instead of being suppressed or acted out

Together, this creates a repeatable way to regulate and respond in real time.

When the nervous system is activated, the brain shifts into survival mode. Without regulation, reaction takes over before thinking can happen.

JOYELY is grounded in neuroscience including amygdala response, prefrontal cortex function, vagus nerve activation, and brain-heart coherence. These systems determine how we respond under pressure.

Research shows emotions are not simple reactions. They are the brain’s best guess in the moment, helping us interpret overwhelming information and decide what matters.

Many systems teach awareness. Very few teach how to regulate in real time when it counts. That gap is where most breakdowns happen.

The Chair of JOY® is a physical or mental place you return to so you can pause, reset, and navigate your emotions with intention.

A structured map of 80 emotions that helps you identify what you are feeling and move through it with more precision and less confusion.

A tool that measures Safety, Presence, and Joy to give you a baseline of how you are operating emotionally.

The tools give you awareness, language, and a real-time method so you can move from reaction to intentional response.

You can begin to regulate your state in about 60 seconds. With repetition, it becomes a reliable skill you can use anytime.

ERBT™ is a clinical method that establishes emotional recognition and regulation as a foundation so therapy can be more effective. It focuses on helping people regulate in real time, not just understand emotions after the fact.

According to Ehsan Gharadjedaghi, Psy.D. (Dr. G), after tens of thousands of therapy sessions, the biggest challenge is emotional regulation. Many people understand their emotions but cannot manage them when they are activated. ERBT™ introduces a structured, repeatable system that helps clients regulate in the moment, allowing therapy to create deeper and more lasting change.

Individuals, couples, families, and clients who struggle to regulate emotions even if they have tried other methods.

JOYELY, LLC provides the JOY Intelligence™ Framework through coaching, workshops, classes, and executive training.

Chair of JOY®, Inc. is the nonprofit advancing therapeutic access, including ERBT™ in clinical settings.

Access depends on state availability. Individuals can email to join the waitlist or be notified when services are available in their area.

Stronger decision-making under pressure, improved team performance, faster recovery from stress, and a competitive edge through emotional regulation.

Better communication, reduced burnout, higher retention, and teams that perform consistently in high-stakes environments.

Calmer conversations, less reactivity, stronger connection, and a shared way to work through emotions together.

A simple, teachable system that helps children understand and work through emotions early, building resilience and confidence over time.

A world where every person has a Chair of JOY, knows where it is, and knows how to use Sit. Breathe. Think. Feel. to navigate emotions in real time.

Start with the Own the Moment Challenge. From there, we offer webinars and experiences designed for individuals, organizations, and communities so you can explore how JOYELY can support your growth, performance, and well-being.

JOYELY is not therapy. We provide coaching, training, and tools through the JOY Intelligence™ Framework. If you are in crisis, please contact a crisis hotline or seek licensed clinical support. For therapeutic services, you may connect with clinicians offering ERBT™ where available.

IQ is your ability to think and solve problems.
EQ is your ability to understand emotions.
JQ (JOY Intelligence™) is your ability to regulate and navigate emotions in real time so you can respond with intention.

JQ exists because understanding emotions is not enough. In the moments that matter most, you need a way to manage your state so your emotions support your decisions instead of working against you.
