There’s always a moment that serves to wake you up I think in a really profound way. Sometimes, it happens on an individual, personal level and then sometimes that interrupter is on a collective level, community level.” - Sydney Weiss “Joy is personalized. It’s very individual and it stands from really knowing who you are and what you love and what lights you up.” - Sydney Weiss   Resources Mentioned: Srikumar Rao Ep. 105 The Wisdom of this Moment with Intuitive Medium Amy White Ep. 108 IMPACT: Creating a Plan for Meaningful Change with Christen Brandt of She's The First Ep. 101 Choosing Curiosity and Proving It's Still an Amazing World with Liesl Ulrich-Verderber of Ever Widening Circles Ep. 96 John Clarence Stewart, Multi-Talented Actor, Poet, and Singer, on Art as Healing, Claiming Your Voice, and His Spiritual Journey Ep. 93 Turning Mental Health into an Everyday Conversation with Advocate and Activist Achea Redd Ep. 58 Dancing Out of the Darkness with Alignment, Joy, and Zumba with Josette Tkacik Ep. 50 Choosing a Life of Adventure, Redefining Athleticism, and Embracing the Body We’re In with Mirna Valerio, aka The Mirnavator   Affiliate Partner: Pura Vida Bracelets provides full-time jobs to artisans worldwide and donates millions to charity through products that give back.
