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.

Do you find that you're feeling more impatient lately? Have you ever asked yourself where are you rushing to?
In today's episode, Suzanne shares a story of waiting in line at a French café and how she found herself getting more and more impatient — despite not needing to get anywhere. She shares how she settled herself, other common examples of where impatience shows up, what we can do about it, and how we always get to choose. Impatience really is a choice.
Reflection question: What brings up impatience for you, and how do you settle it?
