About Seek The Joy Podcast

Seek The Joy Podcast is a spirituality, wellness, and personal-growth show built around the search for joy in ordinary and difficult seasons. Sydney Weiss frames joy less as constant positivity and more as a practice of reflection, connection, and self-compassion. The show carries a clear sense of history, especially in anniversary and “best of” episodes that revisit the early fear of publishing, the lessons of slowing down, and the community that grew around the project. It is warm. It is also earnest about transformation. Conversations often begin with personal experience and widen into practical or spiritual tools for living with more awareness. One episode with Emily Nahazel uses astrology and Human Design as languages for curiosity, shadow work, career transition, and doing work that better supports the soul. Another with Dr. Cindy Tsai centers high achievers, burnout, overwhelm, and small tools such as the cleansing breath. The Seek The Joy Summit episodes bring in empowerment, gratitude, trust, authentic voice, social media, and the importance of sharing a story. Kelly Rutherford’s conversation emphasizes presence, journaling, nature, laughter, and quieter forms of meditation. Amy White’s “best of” episode moves through intuition, pandemic-era fear and grief, bodily trust, wholeness, and healing the past. Lisa Barnett’s Akashic Records episode gives the show its most explicitly metaphysical shape, with soul plans, karmic patterns, ancestral lineage, and personal guidance at the center. Across its episodes, the rhythm is conversational and encouraging, with long reflective introductions that place each guest inside Sydney’s own learning curve. The show is not clinical self-help. It is more intimate and spiritually open than that. Its appeal comes from the mix of heartfelt storytelling, personal-growth language, and accessible practices that listeners can carry into work, relationships, stress, and self-understanding. Seek The Joy Podcast is best for listeners who want wellness talk with emotional softness, a strong community feeling, and room for both breathwork and the Akashic Records.

Made for: For listeners drawn to heartfelt wellness conversations, self-compassion, spirituality, mindfulness, and personal stories of growth. It especially suits people open to both practical tools and metaphysical frameworks.

What sets it apart: The show blends intimate reflection with guest-led spiritual and wellness conversations, making its archive feel personal rather than purely instructional. It moves comfortably from cleansing breaths and burnout to astrology, intuition, and Akashic Records.

In their own words

Join host Sydney Weiss and thought leaders in health, wellness, and mindfulness, for empowering conversations and heartfelt storytelling on all things self-love, joy, connection, empowerment, wellness and spirituality. Inspired by our ongoing journey toward growth, empowerment, and self-love, every episode offers a fresh perspective, “aha” moments, laughs, stories and wisdom that will stick with you throughout the week. Join us for a new #SeekTheJoy episode every Tuesday!
