Finding Joy in the Hard
Finding Joy in the Hard is a testament to how incredibly powerful we are.
In this daily podcast, I offer two-ten minute episodes: words of inspiration, thought provoking questions to shift from rigid thought patterns and actionable healing tips.
Once or twice a month, I'll offer interviews with people who have found joy in the hard of life. Those who found their way to light, no matter their circumstances.
I'm your host, Suzanne Andora Barron. I've been teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness and mindset for fourteen years. As a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, I teach students how to use the placement of their hands and breath to ease pain and discomfort in their body, support themselves emotionally and balance mind, body and spirit.
Welcome! I'm so excited you're here!
Finding Joy in the Hard
#128 What if you took a chance on you?
Have you ever signed up for something you knew might be good for you—but didn’t feel excited about it at all?
That was me yesterday. I signed up for an all-day art retreat weeks ago, but I resisted it the whole way through. Even the morning of, I questioned everything: Why are you doing this? You can still cancel.
But a quieter, steadier voice nudged me out the door.
In this episode, I share:
- How resistance shows up even when we’re doing something nourishing
- Why creativity can feel uncomfortable when we’re out of practice
- The unexpected freedom that comes from doing something just because
- And what happens when we stop needing a result and simply begin
You’ll also hear:
- A few simple questions to help you reconnect with things you used to love
- What I created when I let go of trying to make something “good”
- And how joy can surprise us when we soften our grip
I'd love your feedback. You can reach me on Instagram here.
