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.

#159 Finding Magic in the Ending - It Starts with That First Step
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is there something you're yearning to do — a dream that maybe others think is a little crazy, but you know you have to do it anyway?
In this episode, I share how to go for it, using an example of my own: the beginning and ending of the foundation I started in honor of my little boy Christopher. Over 16 years, we worked with over 1000 kids! We touched and were touched by 10 times that number.
I share how even though we officially ended The Christopher Barron Live Life Foundation on June 30, the magic continues. In this episode, I share the exciting news.
Here's something to keep in mind when you start something new: You won’t have all the answers when you begin as much as your mind wants you to. You can’t. When you start out, you only have as much as you need in that moment—the rest reveals itself to you as you go.
Thank you as always for listening.
If something is coming up for you, I’d love to hear it. You can DM on Instagram. Here.
Be well.
