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!

58. Root Cause, Real Talk: Women’s Health and Hormone Harmony with Dr. Victoria Andarcia
Ever wondered why your body feels different lately—why you might be low on energy, struggling with night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, or just feel like you’re not you anymore? In this episode, Sharon sits down with Dr. Victoria Andarcia, board-certified in internal medicine with advanced training in integrative and functional medicine, to explore what it really means to reclaim vitality, rebalance your hormones, and feel good in your body again.
Dr. Andarcia practices at Reveal Vitality in downtown Sarasota, where she helps women navigate pivotal life stages—fertility, perimenopause, menopause—by focusing on root-cause health instead of just masking symptoms. This means digging into hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and hormone balancing, nutrition and lifestyle medicine, emotional wellness, sleep, gut health, and even the subtle ways your hormones impact your confidence, libido, and sense of joy.
You’ll hear them talk about:
- The meaning and value of hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones, HRT vs non-HRT options—why timing, delivery method, and individual risk matter.

Mayo Clinic+4
Patient Info+4 - How hormonal changes show up (hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, low libido, weight gain, fatigue) and how rebalancing estrogen, progesterone (and sometimes testosterone) can help you feel like you again.
- Why integrative and functional medicine matter—because true healing isn’t just about pills, it’s about lifestyle, mindset, emotional intelligence, movement, and whole-body vitality.
- Practical tools you can start this week to boost your hormonal wellness: sleep hacks, stress reduction, food as medicine, supporting your gut and liver—because hormones don’t just live in a pill bottle.
- The mindset shift: moving from “I’m just surviving this body” to “I’m thriving in this body”—with confidence, humor, presence, and purpose.
Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, perimenopause, full menopause, or simply feeling out of sync with your body and spirit—this episode gives you a roadmap for hormone balance, renewed energy, and sustainable vitality. Tune in, take notes, and give yourself permission to feel good again.
