Imagine a life where joy isn’t just a momentary experience but a sustainable lifestyle that enhances personal well-being, emotional resilience, and leadership excellence. JOY Intelligence™ is a science-backed framework designed to integrate joy into every aspect of life and work, making it a reliable foundation for growth and success.
For years, intelligence has been measured by IQ (intellectual intelligence) and EQ (emotional intelligence)—but JQ (Joy Intelligence™) is the missing element. JQ is the ability to intentionally access, sustain, and apply joy as a guiding force for decision-making, performance, and connection.
At the heart of JOYELY’s methodology are the Four Stages of Emotional Presence™, a system that supports individuals and organizations in shifting from stress and overwhelm to clarity and engagement. Through our signature Chair of JOY® Experience and JQ Emotions Map, we provide tangible, repeatable tools that foster emotional mastery and enhance leadership, collaboration, and well-being.
This isn’t about temporary happiness. It’s about creating a measurable, lasting impact on individuals, teams, and organizations—because when joy is prioritized, everything changes.
To build a global lifestyle brand that impacts individuals and organizations by integrating joy at the core.
To provide individuals and organizations with proactive solutions that prioritize joy as an actionable methodology.
At JOYELY, we recognize joy as more than an emotion—it is a science-backed, sustainable state of being that fosters clarity, resilience, and connection. The effect of JOY Intelligence™ reaches far beyond the individual, creating a profound impact on teams, organizations, and entire communities.
Grounded in neuroscience and psychology, JOY Intelligence™ enhances emotional presence, improves focus, and strengthens relationships. When individuals develop the ability to sustain joy, they become more engaged, adaptable, and effective in their personal and professional lives.
This effect ripples outward—workplace cultures shift, family bonds deepen, and communities thrive. When joy is practiced as a core life skill, it elevates leadership, enhances collaboration, and fuels long-term success in every environment.
JOYELY is dedicated to making joy a fundamental part of everyday life, with our core values steering every aspect of our endeavors, from product creation to building partnerships and engaging with our community.
For years, Sheryl Lynn searched for joy as if it were something outside of herself—something to chase, earn, or find in the next big success, relationship, or move. Forty-six homes, countless businesses, and a rollercoaster of wins and losses later, the feeling of something missing remained.
Then, one evening, exhausted from years of personal and professional challenges, she found herself sitting on the deck of a friend’s cottage by the beach. Taking a deep breath, she let go. She thought of her children—their laughter, the small moments that made life meaningful.
Something shifted. The stress, the uncertainty, the exhaustion—faded. In its place came clarity, peace, and the energy to believe in what was possible again.
Moments later, she received news that the situation she had been struggling with had resolved itself. And she realized—joy had never been lost. It had always been within. It wasn’t something to chase; it was something to access.
That realization changed everything. She started noticing the power of intentionally pausing—whether on a park bench, a rock by the river, or her own front porch. With each pause, each deep breath, and moment of reflection, she could reset, gain clarity, and move forward with strength.
She knew she had to share this.
In 2019, she introduced a white throne—a high-backed, golden chair—to Las Vegas, just to see how people would respond. It was during the onset of the pandemic, a time filled with fear and uncertainty. At Lone Mountain, Red Rock Canyon, and other places where people sought refuge, they would come up and sit—sometimes cautiously at first, sometimes as if drawn by something deeper.
Stories began to emerge. Strangers sat and opened up about their lives—weddings, fishing trips, children’s laughter, quiet moments with a parent before they passed, best friends reuniting. There was support, reflection, intention, and a kind of unspoken understanding. Stress softened from their faces, and when they stood up, they seemed taller—lighter.
When the chair first arrived off the truck, Bailey sat with her, and that was the moment it became real. The chair wasn’t just a seat—it was a symbol of togetherness, of connection, of something bigger than any one person. It created space for people to remember what truly mattered.
At first, ten people sat in the chair. Then a hundred. Then a thousand. Each experience carried the same undeniable shift—people, even in the midst of their daily grind, reconnecting to something deep within.
And so, the Chair of JOY® Experience was born—not as a chair, but as a way to experience joy regularly. A way for people to sit, breathe, think, and feel and to prioritize their own joy.
But what started as a personal practice has grown into something extraordinary. Today, the JOYELY® Movement is a thriving community—veterans, seniors, tech leaders, classrooms full of students, entire organizations—all embracing the power of these small, intentional moments.
Each person who sat in the chair became part of its story, and each story created a ripple effect.
Take Chrys, for example. At 14, she attended a school assembly where she was introduced to the Chair of JOY® Experience. Something about it resonated with her. A few months later, her father began to notice a shift—Chrys was brighter, more engaged, and more confident. She excelled in sports, planned her days with greater intention, and carried herself with a newfound energy.
Curious about the transformation, her father decided to attend a Chair of JOY® workshop himself. He walked away with a deeper understanding of the power of pausing, breathing, and reconnecting. Inspired, he introduced the practice to his company. Soon, the company embraced it, and from there, it spread into the community.
One Person. One chair. One conversation. One moment at a time.
JOY Intelligence started to take hold—not as an abstract concept, but as a simple, accessible practice that touched lives at the heart and mind. It reminded people that joy isn’t something reserved for weekends or special occasions.
It’s here. It’s now. It’s always been within.
And this is just the beginning.
How Did We Get Here?
The world is facing an undeniable crisis—mental health struggles, mass shootings, rising obesity, and a broken healthcare system are just the beginning. People are emotionally disconnected—from themselves, from each other, and from joy. Joy is rarely an option.
But what if it could be? Research shows that joy is the pulse beneath all emotions—even anger, suffering, love, and gratitude. It’s not something we have to chase—it’s always there, waiting to be accessed.
At JOYELY®, we’ve developed a proprietary, data-backed system that positions joy as an essential tool for emotional resilience and well-being. We’re bringing a scalable, measurable approach to help individuals and organizations reclaim joy, navigate challenges, and experience tangible, sustainable growth. And something incredible is happening—people are feeling it, and it’s contagious.
People everywhere are seeking deeper understanding, meaningful connection, and a way out of exhaustion. The Chair of JOY® Experience has sparked a global movement, one that transcends boundaries—because joy is universal. All people yearn for it, all people are born with it, and all people can cultivate it.
The shifts we’re seeing go beyond mindfulness or “getting meditation right.” This is not about fixing people—it’s about using what we already have, what already matters. Joy is not about forcing positivity—it’s about creating a space where every emotion is welcome, where people feel safe, present, and supported. It’s about redefining what it means to live fully, lead effectively, and create real change.
This is more than a movement—it’s a new way forward.
