Joy of the Hang™: The Social Wellness Movement
Joy of the Hang is more than a podcast — it’s a movement.
Hosted by Sharon Stevenson, former competitive bodybuilder and certified Health and Wellness Coach, this show explores the missing link in modern wellbeing: connection.
After years of studying the eight pillars of health — Physical, Emotional, Social, Intellectual, Environmental, Financial, Occupational, and Spiritual well-being. — Sharon discovered something profound. We can optimize every area of our physical health and still feel lonely. We can achieve, perform, and succeed… and still feel disconnected.
That realization changed everything.
Joy of the Hang was created as a platform for real people — leaders, entrepreneurs, creators, parents, reinvention stories, and everyday heroes — to share their journeys openly and honestly. Because stories matter. And when people feel seen and heard, they remember they matter too.
In a world more digitally connected than ever, we are facing a loneliness epidemic. Social isolation is quietly impacting our mental, emotional, and physical health. Joy of the Hang exists to push back against that reality.
Through meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and vulnerable storytelling, Sharon explores how relationships shape our wellbeing, leadership, resilience, and identity.
You were born to bond. Built to belong.
If you’re craving deeper connection, more intentional relationships, and a sense of community in your adult life — you’re in the right place.
