Joy of the Hang™: Connecting Through Conversation
Joy of the Hang™ is where meaningful conversation meets real human connection.
Hosted by speaker and social wellness advocate Sharon Stevenson, this podcast explores the stories, struggles, laughter, and lived experiences that remind us we’re not alone.
Each episode is an invitation to slow down, lean in, and rediscover what it means to truly connect — with others and with ourselves. Through heartfelt interviews and honest solo reflections, Sharon brings warmth, humor, and depth to the conversations most people crave but rarely have.
Before stepping behind the mic, Sharon spent two decades in the hospitality world — leading teams, running hotels and restaurants, and creating spaces where people felt seen and welcomed. That experience shaped her belief that connection isn’t accidental — it’s something we build.
On Joy of the Hang, you’ll hear real stories, unexpected wisdom, and the kind of dialogue that lingers long after the episode ends. This isn’t small talk. It’s soul talk — with laughter along the way.
If you’re longing for deeper relationships, more honest conversations, and a little more humanity in your day, you’re in the right place.
New episodes every Wednesday. Pull up a chair — you’re always welcome here.
