Finding Joy in the Hard
Finding Joy in the Hard is a weekly podcast about how we meet life when it stretches us — in grief and growth, in ordinary struggles and unexpected turns.
In short minisodes, I share honest reflections, gentle nervous system awareness, and simple embodied practices to help you steady yourself when things feel uncertain.
From time to time, I sit down with guests who have walked through difficulty and found light in the dark and joy in the hard.
I’m your host, Suzanne Andora Barron — yoga and meditation teacher, Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, and writer. Through breath, awareness, and simple practices, I help people ease tension and reconnect to their inner steadiness.

#0105 - Do you waste your energy on things that don't matter?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
My husband told me this today when I told him about a conversation I had had a few weeks ago and how I'd respond differently next time.
He said, "You waste a lot of energy on things that don't matter."
It gave me pause and I wondered is this just a me thing —which I don't think it is or do a lot of us do that? That is the focus on this five and half minute minisode along with a way we can switch gears and a healing tip to stop overthinking.
