What does true joy look like when life gets noisy with comparison, expectations, and endless to-do lists? In this uplifting episode of Light Up Your Worth, host Debbie McAllister sits down with Suzanne LaVoie Sammon n, a hospitality and customer service veteran with over 30 years of experience and an author since 2016, to explore the transformative power of joy, authenticity, and self-care.
Suzanne shares how embracing joy as a mindset can shift your perspective, why authentic living matters more than chasing perfection, and how reflection helps us uncover our unique path. She also opens up about her personal self-care practices—from meditation and walking in nature to finding inspiration in music like Whitney Houston’s empowering anthem, The Greatest Love of All.
Together, Debbie and Suzanne explore how friendships, community, and connection strengthen resilience and help us navigate life with more purpose and self-worth.
✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:
• Why joy is a mindset (and how to cultivate it daily)
• The impact of comparison culture and how to rise above it
