Joy Of The Hang: Connecting through Conversation
Sharon Stevenson invites you to 'Joy of the Hang,' where connection, storytelling, and meaningful dialogue come to life. Join her for inspiring conversations that make you feel seen, heard, and uplifted. New episodes every Wednesday!
After two decades running hotels and wrangling weddings, conventions, and the occasional Elvis impersonator, I stepped out from behind the scenes (still in heels) to grab the mic and start the kind of conversations I’ve always craved.
I’ve been the boss, the underdog, the single mom, the restaurant owner, the real estate broker, and now, your podcast bestie. My journey’s been anything but linear—but every chapter has taught me the same truth: connection is everything.
I started Joy of the Hang because I believe in meaningful dialogue, laughter that heals, and asking the questions most people are afraid to say out loud. Whether I’m talking with guests or flying solo, my goal is the same—to make you feel seen, inspired, and a little more human.
You’ll find no fluff here. Just honest stories, unexpected wisdom, and the kind of hang that lingers long after the episode ends.
Thanks for being here. You’re always welcome.
New episodes air every Wednesday!
Joy Of The Hang: Connecting through Conversation
46. Sudden Heart Attack at 32. What you need to know…
At just 32 years old, Ethan Crosson—a former collegiate athlete in peak physical shape—suffered a massive heart attack that left him flatlining in the back of an ambulance. No warning signs. No family history. Just a 100% blockage that changed his life in an instant.
In this powerful and poignant episode of Joy of the Hang, Ethan shares his story of survival, the guardian angel who helped save him, and how the experience reshaped his understanding of health, purpose, and what really matters. We dive into the silent risks men often overlook, the importance of early detection, and the role that stress, genetics, and lifestyle can play—even when you "do everything right."
This conversation is a wake-up call and a lifeline.
