Developing Your Voice, Putting Yourself out There, and Staying True to You with Elana Lyn Gross

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! On the podcast this week is Elana Lyn Gross, freelance journalist and the founder of the personal and professional development website, Elana Lyn. I was SO excited to chat with Elana for Seek The Joy Podcast. I’ve been following along for about a year, and her blog has been such an incredible resource for me both professionally and personally. On today's episode we chat all about how Elana got started blogging, what it's been like making her writing public, sharing her voice, vulnerability, and passions with the world, and taking a leap of faith to transition into writing full-time. We also talked about remaining authentic, how she's been able to resist the urge to compare herself to others, what turning 30 taught her, developing self-love and self-care habits (like a great morning and evening routine!), joy in her life, and Elana also shares some amazing advice for aspiring freelance writers.  To learn more about today’s episode, head over to the show notes section of our website seekthejoypodcast.com/show-notes/elanalyngross To learn more about Elana make sure to check out her website elanalyn.com and connect with her on Instagram @elanalyngross and Twitter @elanalyn We want to thank today's sponsor Sudio!
