Episode 170

How do you express joy?

My guest on episode 170 is the joyful and talented Shannon Kaiser, who uses her bubbly personality and incredible writing skills to share her message and joy.

After a decade of addiction, Shannon knew she needed to make a change.  She made it her goal to replace her unwanted behaviors, never shaming herself, and start a journey to self love and pure joy.  Since then, Shannon has become a voice for other people seeking joy, showing them how to express their aliveness. In this episode Shannon also explains the difference between joy and happiness, our inner voice, and how to interrupt yourself. 

Shannon’s infectious joy and insight make this an episode you do not want to miss.
