Scott Erickson, touring painter, performance artist and creative curate who mixes autobiography, aesthetics, and comedic narrative to create experiences that speak to our deepest stories, joins Sydney for a conversation about his new book "Say Yes: Discovering the Surprising Life Beyond the Death of a Dream."
Scott shares how to not give up on yourself, the three assumptions you need to address first, what it means to face the voice of “giving up”, and declaring that change is possible. We dive into the difference between “I’lI never be” versus “I’m on my way", and how to thrive in a massive culture of comparison. Plus, Scott shares how he reinvented himself to pursue his deepest passion, what he wants you to know about mid-life change ups, his biggest dreams nd so much more!

Today we’re celebrating five years of Seek The Joy Podcast. In today's episode Sydney reflects on the last five years. We're so grateful for the journey and for everyone who has been on this road with us. Whether you’ve been listening to the podcast from the very beginning or just jumped in, thank you for being here, for pressing play, and for being part of this incredible community.
Today’s episode is a celebration, but it’s also the closing of a chapter. Sydney can’t even begin to tell you the immense gratitude she has for this platform, for you, for the opportunity to connect and share over the last five years, and it is incredibly bittersweet to share that this is the final episode of Seek The Joy Podcast.
This isn’t goodbye, it’s see you later. With every evolution and change, comes an opportunity to revisit where we’ve been – and we're leaving the door open to come back to the podcast if and when the time is right, if and when the inspiration strikes, the same way it did in 2017.
There’s so much more to these reflections and we hope you’ll tune into to today’s episode.
