Ep. 74: Getting Uncomfortable & Finding Your Voice with Sydney Weiss

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.

Sydney’s greatest mission is to uplift and empower others to find their authentic voice, encourage them to step into their vulnerability and courage, all to seek their joy and bring about greater healing. Through Seek The Joy, she’s been able to do just that. Inspired by Sydney’s ongoing journey toward growth, empowerment, and self-love, every episode offers a fresh perspective, “aha!” moments, laughs, and stories and wisdom that will stick with you throughout the week.

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.
