What does joy really mean beyond feeling happy? Yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, and Welera World's Chief Joy Officer Sydney Burger joins fellow Jersey girl Sasha for a fun, tangent-filled conversation. Sydney shares how a childhood of every sport and camp imaginable shaped her approach to wellness, what LA's entertainment industry taught her about comparison and self-worth, and the moment she pivoted from acting to creating retreats and experiences.
