Do You Deserve Joy? Asking the Question That Changes Everything
What if the fear isn’t that you’ll fail—but that you might actually feel good? That you might like your life?
In this conversation, Sarah De Block shares how one question—“Do I deserve joy?”—became the gateway to a completely different way of living. We talk about the hidden cost of “comfort,” the whisper of intuition underneath the noise of ambition, and how joy isn't a reward you earn for suffering—it’s something you get to choose. Sarah didn’t blow up her life overnight. She chose slow change, sacred pacing, and nervous system integrity over hustle. The result? A life she actually wants to be in.
Sarah is the founder of Soma Yoga Healing Center in Alexandria, Virginia, and author of The Year of Sarah, a memoir chronicling her journey from corporate engineer to Ayurvedic yoga practitioner. Before opening her healing center, she spent years navigating burnout, performance pressure, and the disconnection that comes from living a life designed for someone else.
If you've ever asked yourself, “Is this all there is?” or felt like success left you strangely numb, this episode is for you. Especially if you're sitting in a life that’s technically working—but quietly wondering what it might mean to feel fully alive.
