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.

#143 A Thanksgiving Gift
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Thanksgiving holds so many feelings — missing and love, joy and sadness, longing and gratitude. I created this Thanksgiving meditation to help you feel supported, grounded, and held in whatever rises for you.
Inside, you'll be guided through gentle breath, presence, and a reminder of the love and support that surrounds you, both visible and invisible.
And if this meditation brings you a little peace today, and you’d like more guided tools to help you nurture and support yourself through the holiday season, I'm teaching a workshop on Managing Grief in the Holidays on 12/11.
