“Happiness through Hardship”, the podcast is one of my favorites because of how inspirational it is. Caryn Sullivan interviews guests with different struggles and outlooks on life. In the episodes, they discuss difficult topics and offer advice in a safe and supportive environment, while also staying positive and upbeat. My favorite episode was with Michelle Icard: From Setbacks to Strength, when they discuss parenting and letting your children fail. I highly recommend “Happiness through Hardship” for those looking for a podcast with inspiring guests, messages, and an easy, fun listen.

Caryn does a beautiful job of connecting with her audience and engaging her guests to feel comfortable and at ease with exploring their vulnerabilities. Her episodes are full of love, light, and words of wisdom we can all learn from.

Caryn’s kindness and genuine enthusiasm come through in each and every episode. She truly wants to help all of us live our lives with more positivity! The fact that she does all this while living with Stage IV cancer is nothing short of incredible!

Every conversation and guest speaker on Caryn’s podcasts is heartfelt and touching. No matter the topic I can always relate in some way. Keep them coming!

Excellent podcast with a fantastic message! Caryn is an excellent host who speaks from the heart. Her podcast can definitely help with life’s rainy days.

This is such a beautiful and inspirational podcast to listen to! I learned so much just from listening to the most recent episode about diabetes. I encourage everyone to give it a listen if you are experiencing any difficulties in life and need some inspiration to cheer you up! :)

Great podcast - wow, good tips about children’s safety from the Safety Mom. She had solid suggestions about how kids should be taught to handle dangerous situations, no matter what their age: “Think, say, do”, learn body boundaries, use the correct language, do not keep secrets. To teach children how to do that, her guidance for today’s parents can be summed up: “be proactive”, “cultivate openness” and “educate your child”. Thank you so for the great podcast!

Happiness through Hardship is by far one of my favorite podcasts! Caryn (the host) has such a beautiful personality/energy, her guests share the most inspirational stories that help you reflect on your own experiences, and the conversations always flow so naturally. I highly recommend taking a listen - I promise you won’t regret it!

Caryn is like a breath of fresh air. Her style is up-beat, warm and genuine, with a generous spirit. Caryn’s guests are knowledgeable and inspiring; I learn something with each episode. I’m honored to have been interviewed for this fabulous podcast!

I have been following Caryn’s podcast since she started and I always love her passion and her enthusiasm with every person she interviews. I am honored that Caryn asked if she could interview me and let me share my story. I love that she brings people on the show that have many different hardships but have come out the other side with having learned something and have grown. She is an inspiration to all of us to take hardship and find the happiness. Thank you Caryn.

This was such an amazing and inspiring podcast! I love listening to the host! She is incredible ❤️!

An absolute must listen if you need a pick me up. I particularly love her mini chats when she dives into her cancer diagnosis. Having a friend diagnosed with cancer her tips on what to say and do have been invaluable! Grab a cup of coffee/tea, cozy up and listen to Caryn’s sweet voice to get you though life’s little bumps in the road.

This podcast is uplifting and like talking to a best friend. Makes you realize you’re not alone in your struggles. ♥️

I was captivated by Dana’s story and her ability to continue to tell one of her good friends story and bring comfort to those with this diagnosis. This was so inspirational, and amazing to hear the work being done to fund an organization that could potentially effect so many!

Loved this podcast! I really enjoyed listening to this, such an inspiring podcast!! She is so easy to connect to!

I have many friends and family who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and they actually referred me to this podcast. Your wisdom and positivity inspires all, and I look forward to listening to your future episodes!

Caryn finds meaning in the small things + I always listen when I need some positive energy! Even after the first time I listened, I already learned so much and felt very inspired!!

Caryn is a breath of fresh air each podcast I listen to. She speaks from the heart but applies a positive and mindful approach to her voice. My favorite episode by far is where she interviews her husband about her first diagnosis. The house!!!! OMG!!! She’s a cancer cheerleader, an amazing mom, wife, friend and writer. Beautiful voice and story to be told- thanks for sharing it with us!

The resources Caryn provides are helpful + practical. I admire her humble demeanor. Sometimes I listen to podcasts where the host has it "all figured out," which feels condescending + off-putting; Caryn strikes a lovely tone of collaborative problem solving with her guests and listeners. I also appreciate her broad application of the term "hardship." Finally, I just genuinely like her voice.

Cancer fashionista was such an interesting and great episode! Eye opening to learn self love through hardship. Will definitely listen again!

I love listening to this podcast! It is very inspirational and helps get me through my day (:

Thank you so much for the tips!

What a wonderful podcast! Caryn’s conversations are thoughtful, informative, interesting and inspiring . I look forward to listening and learning more! Thank you.

First of all, you have the most calming and happy voice!! So easy to listen to! I am also someone who always looks at the positive in every situation and I LOVE that you are able to find the silver linings in most situations especially cancer. Gratitude and being positive makes all the difference for your emotional health when living with a cancer diagnosis and treatment and then life after cancer. I really appreciate your knowledge on wellness, your incredible strength and all your awesome tips on healthy food and emotional self care. Thank you for all you do to brighten our days!!

In episode 19 Caryn explained her journey of being sick. It is inspiring to hear the voice and perspective of her caregiver (her husband), and how he coped during this tough time. The caregivers voice is sometimes swept under the rug, Caryn gave him praise for everything they did together as a family. They are a strong and beautiful family unit.

You are truly so amazing and strong! I love how you continue to live your life to the fullest and enjoy every day! You are an inspiration to me and so many!!!! Your episode with your husband and adorable son really touched my heart!! What an amazing family you all are!!!!!! XO

After listening to my first episode of this podcast I was moved and will definitely be listening again. I found it helps me destress after a busy day! Being a women, I love hearing from other women about wellness and self care. I has inspired me to put myself first and not take aspects of my life for granted. Caryn is a great host and an inspiration!

I love the premise of this podcast. Caryn always finds the meaning in even the small things. She chooses to appreciate little moments or pleasures, and it’s so inspiring! And she finds others, each with a different background or story, all equally inspiring. For someone who is a “glass half empty” person, I have found these podcasts so uplifting. A regular reminder that we should be grateful.

Caryn couldn’t have come up with a more inspiring and touching concept for a podcast. Not everyone is faced with the daunting task of living with a stage IV cancer diagnosis, but as she so eloquently shows through her guests and interviews, we ALL have hardships and struggles throughout life. It’s so heartening to hear the amazing stories her guests so vulnerably share, and the tangible ideas and takeaways that they each share make it so worthwhile to listen to every single episode.

I’m so grateful to have met Caryn at a Yale event some years back. I knew from that moment listening to her share her trials to triumphs that I had to meet her personally. We had an instant connection. She’s someone that you can look to for that positive energy. I had the beautiful opportunity to be a guest on her Podcast and she made me feel so welcomed. If felt like two old Sister Girls sharing how they pushed past their pain and found healing through happier moments. I absolutely love the guest that she brings on her show. They’re real, sometimes raw, authentic and transparently sharing their journeys through healing and living. Which makes it easier as an audience member to relate and connect. Caryn is a gem and her Podcast promotes happiness and joy through the challenging times. We need that more than ever especially dealing with chronic and life altering illnesses. You can laugh, cry and learn all at the same time with her and her friends of awesome women (interviewees). The Sunshine after and through the rain is what you’re going to get here...I LOVE IT!

Grateful for Caryn’s candid and honest conversations! Lots of unique stories. ☀️

I LOVE listening to the “Happiness Through Hardship” podcast. Caryn Sullivan does an outstanding job delivering thoughtful, inspirational, and profound content to her listeners. Her podcast reminds us that we are not alone, and that even though we all go through hardship in some form or another, there is great beauty in love in the process- and we have the power to share that with others. I have been so impressed by all of the guests she has had and their conversations have been amazing. Breast Cancer has touched my family and so I feel especially touched by Caryn’s story and journey. She is thriving and inspiring.
