The Power of Compersion: How to Experience More Joy & Connection in Relationships
What if there was a way to multiply your joy and strengthen every relationship in your life? This episode of the Marli Williams Podcast unlocks the secrets of compersion—a word originally coined in the polyamorous world but here related to broader audiences. Marli sits down with her partner Liz to discuss the radical act of celebrating others’ happiness as if it were your own. They both share vulnerable moments and clever strategies for overcoming jealousy, comparison, and the fear of missing out (FOMO). Rather than focusing on resentment or competition, they spotlight how empathy, curiosity, and secure attachment can open up deeper connection—whether at home, among friends, or in your community. From the origins of compersion to real-life tips for practicing it daily, this conversation will inspire you to rethink what’s possible in your personal and professional relationships. Ready to boost your happiness and emotional intelligence? This is a must-listen.
Marli Williams is an international keynote speaker, master facilitator, and joy instigator who has worked with organizations such as Nike, United Way, Doordash, along with many colleges and schools across the United States. She first fell in love with transformational leadership as a camp counselor when she was 19 years old. After getting two degrees and 15 years of leadership training, Marli decided to give herself permission to be the “Professional Camp Counselor” she knew she was born to be. Now she helps incredible people and organizations stop waiting for permission and start taking bold action to be the leaders and changemakers they’ve always wanted to be through the power of play and cultivating joy everyday. She loves helping people go from stuck to STOKED and actually created her own deck of inspirational messages called StokeQuotes™ which was then followed by The Connect Deck™ to inspire more meaningful conversations. Her ultimate mission in the world is to help others say YES to themselves and their big crazy dreams (while having fun doing it!)
