In this episode, Sydney Weiss and I discuss finding your voice, sticking to your voice, and how repetition can help us all push through the discomfort that comes with growth. Sydney Weiss is a lawyer and the creator, host, and producer of Seek The Joy Podcast, your go-to podcast for heartfelt storytelling and conversations on all things self-love, joy, connection, wellness, and spirituality.

In this episode, we discuss: ·      The toll that the stress and pressure of studying for the bar had on her physical health, and then how not passing the bar completely changed her life. ·      How not processing our anger can show up in our physical health. ·      How naming our feelings can help make them more manageable. ·      Recognizing our negative self-talk and how to change it. ·      Imposter syndrome and the importance of pushing through the discomfort. ·      The role intention plays in distinguishing between discomfort that comes with growth and discomfort that comes with inauthenticity. ·      Finding your voice and where and how you should use it. ·      How defining what you want to say in the world and finding your joy can help you navigate conversations and live according to your own timeline vs. society’s timeline. ·      Setting boundaries around your life to protect your joy. ·      And the benefits of getting uncomfortable.
