Follow Your Joy Podcast by Marla Diann

I’m your host, Marla Diann! I’ve been transforming creative entrepreneurs’ lives for over 26 years through two businesses. As a success coach and business strategist, I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs collapse the time frame of achieving their desires and goals. It’s time to make joy your inner GPS for life and business decisions rather than lean on your logic and reason, first. You’ll not only be following what is most authentic to you and for you, but you will live the beautiful life meant just for you. Here at Follow Your Joy Podcast, I aspire for you, the highly talented and passionate creative entrepreneur, to do what brings you joy more often …because you learned to listen to your intuition and take action on that guidance. This is where you’ll find inspiring entrepreneurial stories and solocasts that prove listening to your intuition is certainly the doorway to your wisdom, your genius and your joy. Joy is not to be relegated to a good feeling. It’s a life & business strategy. When we follow our joy and stay tuned into it, we will live a more authentic life. Not sure how to access, use or trust your intuition living in a logical, intellectual world? Join me in the conversation to find out how!

Redefining Success: A Quantum Leap into Your Soul-Led Future Behind the Scenes of Your Voice Matters + What’s Next for You and Me Welcome back, creative soul!

In this milestone 90th episode, I take you behind the scenes of our sold-out Your Voice Matters: Setting the Stage to Impact Humanity workshop. After nine months of visioning, setbacks, breakthroughs, and co-creation with my brilliant collaborators Laura Chavez Weintraub and Ashley Rivera, we brought to life an unforgettable day of empowerment, vulnerability, and transformation. You’ll hear how women—from emerging speakers to seasoned leaders—moved through fear, imposter syndrome, and resistance to boldly own their voices and share their stories on stage. What happened in that room wasn’t just a workshop—it was a call to rise, to speak, to lead with soul. And that’s exactly what this episode is about. We are not returning to business as usual. We are taking a Quantum Leap forward to our future selves. This episode is a love letter to the woman who is: Feeling the stirring inside for something deeper Questioning the old metrics of success Craving more joy, play, adventure, sensuality, and desire in her life Tired of the burnout loop and ready to work with her intuition—not against it ✨ I’ll guide you through: The origin story of my Creative Achievement Formula — Desires + Goals = Transformation & Results My 2017 burnout that catapulted me into a month-long soul-led adventure in Florence, Italy—and completely redefined my identity Why we must stop neglecting the feminine gifts of creativity, desire, feelings, and intuitive leadership What happens when we build from burnout versus when we create from overflow How to embody your next-chapter self by shifting from “doing” to being—from a verb to a noun You’ll also hear about the upcoming Soul-Led Next Level Portal, my 90-day immersive coaching container beginning October 8th, created for women who are ready to: Redefine success from the inside out Create aligned income with less push, more pull Lead with grace, joy, creativity, and power Live and work from the union of feminine energy and productive action This isn’t about abandoning your ambition. It’s about amplifying it—with alignment, intuition, and divine feminine leadership. This is your invitation to return to the wisdom of your body, your joy, and your soul’s desires. You’re not stuck.

From Dream to Dolce Vita: Chris Sobolev’s Artful Reimagined Life in Italy 05/20/2025

From Dream to Dolce Vita: Chris Sobolev’s Artful Reimagined Life in Italy What happens when you follow the whisper of a dream, and it leads you to a whole new life in Italy? Today’s guest, Chris Sobolev, co-owner of Super Savvy Travelers and a rising fine artist, returns to share the extraordinary “after” story of what’s happened since her first appearance on the show in July 2024. For those of you who have been in my world for a while, you know I love all things Italian. If you are new, welcome! My love of Italy began in 1996 when I opened my first business, an entertainment PR company, where I worked with celebrities, visual and performing artists. I named it Capri PR because of my fascination and love of Italy and the Amalfi Coast. Same time, famous author Frances Mayes wrote and released her memoir Under the Tuscan Sun. I was so enamored with her, the story and her lifestyle. I said at the time, “I want her life!” The dream was planted. It was not until 2017 after 9 yrs in my coaching business that I honored that dream thanks to my coach at the time who helped me recover my dreams and make money with joy. The result of that coaching session was a month-long stay in Florence, Italy that changed my life. Three more trips to Italy happened between 2017-2024. This is how Chris and I met as you will find the full story in our conversation. Now, Chris is living the dream she once only imagined—owning several homes in Italy, making art, and running a thriving YouTube channel and Italian Home Ownership business with her husband, Pete. But it wasn’t all la dolce vita at first. In this inspiring follow-up, we talk about the inner and outer transformations that got her there: rebuilding confidence, navigating online and offline stalkers, redefining her worth, and restructuring her business to align with high value clients, joy, authenticity, and ease. Whether you’re dreaming of an Italian lifestyle or longing to unlock your next creative chapter, this conversation is rich with permission, possibility, and practical insight. You’ll hear: The soulful connection that drew Chris (and me!) to Italy What changed in her business and mindset to make her dreams real Her advice for anyone longing to own a home in Italy and how she and her husband consult and take you through the process How art, following her joy, friendship, and inner work fueled her breakthroughs Get ready to be inspired by what’s possible when you say YES to the life your intuition has been whispering to you each day.

You’re Not Stuck, You’re Being Called: A Desires-Led Reinvention. The Woman Entrepreneur’s New Success Paradigm 05/07/2025

You’re Not Stuck, You’re Being Called: A Desires-Led Reinvention. The Woman Entrepreneur’s New Success Paradigm Today’s episode is for the woman entrepreneur, speaker, coach, author, lifestyle expert, or service professional who’s craving more fun, adventure, play, and joy—while making and increasing consistent income. If you’ve been feeling the shift lately—like something isn’t quite adding up, energetically or financially—you’re not alone. Many brilliant, creative, successful women I work with are sensing it too. This in-between space you’re navigating? It’s not a breakdown. It’s a calling—to something deeper, more aligned, and more authentic than ever before. I want you to live and work from a blend of both Feminine & Masculine energy and traits with Feminine leading the way. It’s a dynamic dance between power & play as you redesign how you operate in your business or career without neglecting your feminine self or diluting your edge. In this elevating conversation, I introduce you to a new paradigm of success: Desires + Goals = Success + Transformation. It’s the foundation of my Creative Achievement Formula, and the core of how I’ve helped women reinvent how they live, work, and lead—with feminine energy leading the way. I created it out of my own serious breakdown to breakthrough. You’ll hear: • How my own burnout in 2017 led to a reinvention by following my desire to Florence, Italy for a month-long stay—and how that changed everything • The reason your desires matter just as much as your goals • What happens when you prioritize pleasure, play, spirituality, and intuition as part of your business strategy • Why suppressing your feminine gifts keeps you disconnected—and how to reclaim them with joy and power • Two stories from clients who’ve shifted into this new way of being and are seeing powerful, life-changing results I encourage you to change the metrics you use for success. I’ll also guide you through a few soul-stirring exercises to begin your own desires-led reinvention today. This is your permission slip to redesign how you achieve success—and finally treat yourself well in the process. Because you’re not stuck…You’re being called. Show Links: A 1-1 zoom call is required to be considered for the cohort. We will explore your life, business and how the cohort fits into all that and if we are a match.

She reveals the real meaning behind asking your intuition, “What is my highest good in this situation?” 04/22/2025

She reveals the real meaning behind asking your intuition, “What is my highest good in this situation?” I have a special guest today who I reconnected with a few months ago after 10 years. Christie Flynn was a client back in 2014 when she was a health coach. We re-engineered her business and transformed her money relationship. And then we lost touch for a while, which I found out why and you will hear about that in our interview. When she found me on LinkedIn back in November 2024, I was delighted to see her direct message in my account. But something was different about her energy and the info on her profile had changed. It read Psychic Medium and Executive Coach. I said to myself “What? Really? Oh I want to hear this story.” I went to her website to get the gist of what happened and now I was really intrigued. We continued to direct message each other excitedly to schedule a zoom call to catch up. That's when I invited her to the show. I wanted you to hear this for yourself. You know I love a good story for you. Well, her story is as profound as it is inspiring. She shares some personal info that involves a life changing event that heightened her intuition and clairvoyance. She began to see, feel, hear, and know things about people, places and beyond her physical world. That's when the story gets intriguing. Christie shares her own formula for connecting with her intuition, the 3 P’s, and how you can begin the same process she does for her medium and executive clients. She reveals the real meaning behind asking your intuition, “What is my highest good in this situation?” Listen closely to the client stories where you’ll get the profoundness of her mediumship.

Demystifying women’s health, hormones, vitality, and libido, finally! For women who have either given birth, tried to embrace menopause, or grow a multi-million-dollar business, they have all turned to my guest, Maraya Brown, for support with their physical, emotional, and sexual health. After years of working with women who are dismissed, overlooked, and told they are 'fine' when they clearly aren’t, she saw a huge opportunity to show women there is a better way where they are heard, understood, and given healthy solutions to their adrenal burnout, mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion due to hormonal imbalance. Maraya Brown is a Yale and Functional Medicine Trained Women’s Health Expert (CNM, MSN) and creator of The Women’s Vibrancy Code program. Her passion lies in dismantling the myths around women’s health, providing real answers, and creating communities where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive—not just survive. She helps ambitious women navigate success without burnout by helping them fine tune their nutrition, supplementation, mindset, passion and ascension from the past to a vibrant future. Maraya is a mom of 3 children 11 and younger and a wife to an amazing man with heart. Her work online brings her 23 years of experience supporting women together in one place to co-create deep transformation, hormonal health, beautifully felt stamina, and undeniable confidence and passion. Maraya has managed Women’s Health in Federally Funded clinics and Functional Medicine private practices and has been a part of international health endeavors in Nicaragua, Ghana, and Haiti. In our interview, you will hear: Her answers to stop all the struggling to wade through all of the misinformation out there Her response and strong stand when women are being told by their doctors their health is “just fine” when they don’t feel fine. Alternative solutions to feeling sluggish, uninspired, and heavy How to reverse the pining for a sex drive that’s years or decades long-gone Why it’s not just about data and labs; instead, it’s her intuitive way to listen to what’s not being said that guides her clients to clarity and healing How to prioritize your vitality and make your energy the foundation of your creativity, leadership and success Free download: 7 natural, alternative resources to help heal brain fog, gain more energy, sleep better, & build your vitality: Access this gift in the portal of joy: Follow: IG: @_marayabrown_ LinkedIn: FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1603969509778639 FB: https://www.facebook.com/energyhormoneslibido TikTok: @_marayabrown_ YouTube: @marayabrown Marla’s Free Guide: What if you could manifest your one-year goals in 90-Days?

We swapped episodes! My free-spirited life expressed through decades of music memories 03/26/2025

We swapped episodes! My free-spirited life expressed through decades of music memories We had such a blast on Dayna’s podcast talking about music memories and how they impacted my life so why not bring it to you! Hosted by Dayna Sol, a national DJ and event host for over two decades, lives her life through music so how dynamic it is to interview guests about their cherished songs that shaped their lives shared on her Soundtrack of Life Podcast. Remember Monkees’ Daydream Believer song? That is certainly dating me, but it was that song I swooned over during my young girl days. How about iconic Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven? Yep, High School class song. :) You’ll hear why these songs are favorites of mine and never heard before memories of my young, free-spirited days from childhood to college to my breakdown to breakthrough milestone in 2017 that led to a month-long stay in Florence, Italy all during Dayna’s Soundtrack of Life Podcast interview. Dayna is not only a dear, cherished spiritual friend, but I was honored to coach her in my Life Design program and her global DJ/Host/MC business for an entire year in 2023. A special result that came out of that year-long experience among many more personal and business successes was HER podcast. I helped her birth her longtime desire to produce Solful Soundtrack of Life podcast idea and strategize the how and why. I am so proud her! 100% in her zone of genius! Grateful for that. Enjoy the episode! See if you recognize some songs from your own soundtrack of life.

How her joy of helping people heal their inner pain became a profound calling and her greatest service to humanity 03/11/2025

How her joy of helping people heal their inner pain became a profound calling and her greatest service to humanity Episode sponsored by Your Voice Matters: Setting the Stage to Impact Humanity Workshop April 3, 2025 Our options for healing our emotional, mental, energetic, and physical challenges are vast compared to 10-20 years ago. What is considered acceptable, common, and very much used, we now have an abundance of healing modalities to heal our pain and remove low vibrational emotions and thoughts. Living a metaphysical life for 25 years, this is why I was very intrigued when Ragan Thomson reached out to me to be a guest on the show. She is a beautiful Spiritual Facilitator, Intuitive Transformational Coach and Global Activist using her calling to bring more harmony, peace, and alignment to our world. It was her own emotional pain that became her teacher that led her to the calling of healing others. Her spiritual healing was profound. Listen in for her remarkable story how that happened and all the ways she lives that calling today. Ragan has dedicated over 20 years to spiritual healing, guiding thousands on their paths to deeper connection and purpose. Through gatherings, monthly meditations, and teachings, she creates spaces for personal transformation and collective healing. As Chairperson of the Board at World Systems Solutions, Ragan focuses on climate action, merging spiritual awareness with global activism. I am excited to gift you her knowledge!

What does it take to truly turn your biggest dreams into reality? Disney Animator tells all. 02/12/2025

What would I do if I only had one-year to live? Crisis pushed me to my edge. 01/29/2025

What would I do if I only had one-year to live? Crisis pushed me to my edge. When I choose guests for the podcast, I come from an intuitive place obviously given the purpose and premise of this show and how I operate. I also look for creatives with compelling stories – the strength of the human spirit. Being a journalist, writer, and storyteller as a foundational part of my background, I love how the story is what inspires people to relate as they apply it to their own lives and take action. So, when I met my guest In October 2024 at a women’s global networking event here in LA and listened to her story as she was introducing herself, I intuitively knew she’d be a good guest for you. Our biggest transformations are always when we evolve from a challenge, a crisis, a big wake up call – whatever that is in your life. No different for my guest Salima Yacoubi. As she writes, “my current career chose me through a crisis that became a calling.” I love that! That’s humanity at its best! That’s the core of her story and that’s why she is here. Salima, from Casablanca, Morocco, resides in Los Angeles as an executive coach where she guides CEOs and family businesses to build meaningful legacies. Prior to that while in New York she founded and led a successful consultancy helping global brands establish their presence in the US market. She worked as a UN-based journalist and lectured on women and politics for master's students. These experiences led her to develop a way to help leaders align their achievements with deeper purpose. You will find her story of crisis to transformation fascinating as she explains how her intuition led her to a far off place in Patagonia.

40 Years, 1650 Communities in 9 Countries: Planting 73 Million Trees to Transform Lives, Ecosystems & the Environment 01/15/2025

40 Years, 1650 Communities in 9 Countries: Planting 73 Million Trees to Transform Lives, Ecosystems & the Environment Big environmental and ecosystem impact. Global cause. In today’s episode, I have the honor of talking with two visionaries and humanitarians. Plant with Purpose CEO Scott Sabin and Kathy Kellogg Johnson, co-owner of 100 year old heritage brand Kellogg Garden Products and 15-year volunteer for PWP. In this lively, highly informative and inspiring conversation, Scott shares his story how he started with Plant with Purpose in 1993 as an accidental environmentalist (article link below). He explains he had various roles ultimately rising to CEO, after beginning as a volunteer while in graduate school. Kathy joins the conversation as a loyal 15-year volunteer and donor whose life perspective changed dramatically from her first PWP expedition in a third world country and how passionate she is with PWP’s three pillars: Thriving People, Healthy Ecosystems, and Climate Resilience. I’ll let the profoundness of PWP’s impact sink in with you as you hear how the core efforts are integrated in long-term community-driven programs with local partners in nine countries. They partner with farmers in 1650 communities to plant 73 million trees, while dramatically reducing poverty in their watersheds. “Trees are the lungs of the planet. Fundamentally, the reason we started planting trees is because they are one of the best ways of helping hungry people, who grow their own food, to restore and get the most out of the land they depend on,” says Scott. Incredible. Share this with your children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends. We are all one.

Not only does my guest today live this life but she is considered one of the top soul-driven women business coaches in the world.

She turns the stereotype of mundane bookkeeping into a creative, empowering, and humorous adventure! 11/27/2024

She turns the stereotype of mundane bookkeeping into a creative, empowering, and humorous adventure! Well here we are, it's Thanksgiving time in the US. What can you be grateful for currently in all ways and what can you be grateful for that has not yet shown up in our life? I call that the unseen gratitudes. Like a faith statement. Happy Thanksgiving to you if you live in the US and I am grateful for you anywhere you are in the world! When you think about bookkeeping, what comes to mind? Boring. Mundane. Numbers. P&Ls. Data. Not with this unique gal! My special guest, Norma Mancini, is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are getting but you count on it being fun! And, today is Norma’s 20th wedding anniversary! Her fun, snarky humor coupled with her sharp mind and compassion for humanity makes working with her a creative and empowering adventure. She surely breaks the mold of a serious, detailed fiscal wizard. The most compelling part of her intriguing yet humbling story is what happened and why she kept ignoring the nudges of her intuition to change her life. What she went through is very relatable to women who seek meaning and value in their lives beyond their important role as a mother. Equally compelling is how she helped a new client overcome his trust issues by giving access to the information in his financial accounts and what became of that relationship. Tune into this lively conversation about how women’s lives transform when intuition comes knocking and you heed the call. I promise there is nothing in the show about spreadsheets and how-to read a balance sheet! Tune in on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, iHeart and YouTube.

Her Resilience and Intuition Kept Her On Course to Finding her Calling 11/13/2024

Her Resilience and Intuition Kept Her On Course to Finding her Calling Resilience is the first word that came to mind when I began composing the script for today’s show and guest. Ashley Rivera is a beautiful example of resilience, courage, and intention. Not only does her life journey exude this, but I have had the privilege of witnessing and experiencing these traits as her coach over the last 5 months through my Create Cohort and private coaching. She is very diligent in her pursuits and is courageous to transform most anything that blocks her from her desires and goals. And, I call her a Queen Manifestor! She knows how to manifest what she needs and wants. She is what I call an old soul that has had many lifetimes of wisdom helping her navigate her personal challenges. So much so that she finally took the leap of faith to follow her calling and her joy to become a transformational life coach and speaker to help others overcome their challenges and design a new life And you will hear how that came to be today. It’s quite compelling. Her story is far from common and will surprise you in her strength and resilience.

What is the secret behind the art of recruiting world class sales talent and teams for early-stage technology companies? Listen in for her leading edge. 10/30/2024

What is the secret behind the art of recruiting world class sales talent and teams for early-stage technology companies? Listen in for her leading edge. As you can imagine, being an executive recruiter requires a good amount of intuitive skill to find and hire topline talent for companies. Intuition is the leading edge when pursuing and interviewing talent. I’m pleased to bring you my dear friend and client, Dinna Voges, Owner/President/CEO of Dinna.io to the podcast. Her leading edge in her 20+ year career is her intuition. As you will hear, interestingly, she interacts mostly with men all day serving them as clients and candidates. Dinna helps ambitious early-stage technology companies build world class teams by finding and attracting the right talent for their crucial Go-To-Market roles, which is the customer facing needs such as Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing. You will hear stories about how by consistently accessing her instincts, not logic, she successfully hires the right fit for the company and role. She says when she has gone against her intuition, the results typically did not bode well. So, how often do you find this happens to you in your personal life? Work life? This is a very common concern of women. Wanting to lean into their intuition, but defaulting to their logic and critical thinking instead. If I had a dollar for every time I heard this, I’d be… well, you know the saying. Stick with us. We've got you covered. Join us in a compelling conversation about being a driven, intuitive, high achieving woman in the tech industry and how Dinna navigates the balance of the feminine and masculine energies while fostering true partnerships and what she calls “raving fans” with her clients. She’s a pro at it. You will definitely pick up golden nuggets from her wisdom.

Tuscany Dreams Do Come True: Lessons of Healing, Transformation, & Living Like an Italian Sept 18th I flew to Italy for the 4th time since my life and business makeover in 2017. If you are new to my podcast, I hit a big burnout in my business in 2017 that had me hiring a new mentor, Gina DeVee, for an intensive 4 hour in person session to recover my dreams and learn how to make money with joy, rather than the constant overwhelm, hustle, push the boulder up the hill and abundant amounts of stress. The result of that session was the recovery of my 20 year unrealized Italian dream to work and live in the US and Italy as a laptop lifestyle entrepreneur by creating a month long stay in beautiful Florence, Italy summer 2017. In this episode, I take you on an Italian journey of bliss and transformation, again. This time I share the details of my Sept 9-day Culinary Adventure in Tuscany & Umbria with my co-host and guests and how to use my Creative Achievement Formula to achieve your top desires. I give you a list of how my life and business have changed by following my desires first. I have a few surprise videos to enhance the experience!

She intuitively elevates and transforms her client’s confidence through style, grace, and kindness 09/18/2024

Two Decades of Singing-Songwriting & Mentoring Intersect to Inspire Personal Growth 08/21/2024

Two Decades of Singing-Songwriting & Mentoring Intersect to Inspire Personal Growth One of the cool things about producing a podcast is the variety it brings to my life. By being open to learning something new, it will always help keep things fresh and inspiring. Following that, I always find it fascinating to learn how creatives best express their true, authentic selves – which is what I refer to as your zone of genius. BTW, that has nothing to do with your IQ. Instead, it’s a space in you where things come most naturally, it brings you the most joy while operating out of your highest creativity resulting in a lucrative income. It’s where to live and work most of the time. It can be a fulfilling way to grow a business. With my guest today, expressing what comes most naturally to her, what brings her joy while in her highest creativity, is very unique to say the least. Wendy Colonna, a Louisiana native and Austin-based singer-songwriter, calls herself a Musician. Mojo Maker. Mentor. Her musical career spans two decades with nine albums. She started as a professional musician in 1997 signed to a small label in Louisiana. Soon enough, she used her musical talent and interest in body-mind-spirit integration while in her early 20s to become a certified yoga instructor which led to creating a yoga DVD (with her music) for musicians on tour. But it doesn’t stop there. She was inspired to become a certified career coach to help creatives navigate the perils of the music biz and wanted to use her gifts not just for performance and recording, but for helping others to grow and thrive. Today, her popular “Mojo Tracks” are unique personalized affirmations set to a resonant musical track - merging the neuroscience behind the power of affirmations with the profound science behind sound healing. “I've always been sparked by how deeply music inspires personal growth,” says Wendy. She has devoted most of her life loving and lifting people up through music and mentoring. With that, enjoy Wendy’s life story and beautiful advice on how to be in flow state by noticing when hard things are easy.

A Twist Of Fate In Theater Led Her To Lighting Women’s Creativity on Fire! 08/07/2024

A Twist Of Fate In Theater Led Her To Lighting Women’s Creativity on Fire! How often have you found yourself in the need of a creativity boost? As in a jumpstart of your spirit? I have found this to be true many times in my own life that became some of my most profound transformations and reinventions. Here’s what I mean: The symptom of a neglected creative spirit is discontent. That became my pattern prior to 5 reinventions all from the neglect of my creativity and spirit. My guest today is the Queen of recovering your creative spirit. She calls it THE SPARKLE FACTOR. Her most joyful place is helping she-preneurs unlock and unleash their full potential. Dr. Suzanne Castle’s expertise as a certified life/business coach and dynamic keynote speaker came by way of not looking for it – she was in another career – and a literal falling off a stage during a performance led her to igniting people's creative spirit. She will talk about that moment and what began to emerge. She was being asked to speak to professional groups and companies about the power of creativity. (An accidental career) You will hear in our conversation how she quickly realized the creative strategy she was teaching was a key component in feeling ALIVE and fulfilled, but that very few people back then were talking about that in a joyful, inspirational way. Suzanne has a lot to say about creative spark, how to recover it and how to create something new from all that. I promise her spirit and rich energy are contagious! You’ll love her genuine nature and spunk!

Personal Branding is Who You Are; Not What You Do 06/26/2024

Personal Branding is Who You Are; Not What You Do What comes to mind when I say PERSONAL BRANDING IS WHO YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU DO? That’s been my tag line since 2008 when I began coaching creative entrepreneurs how to turn themselves into a brand online and monetize it. I decided to reinvent myself after 22 years in entertainment publicity because it was an intuitive nudge that said – time to do something more meaningful and at the same time the world was evolving to online – this was 2006, 2007. I was so inspired by the innovation of viral videos, blogs, social platforms – remember MY SPACE? My entire PR career, I built and managed personality PR for celebrities, visual and performing artists creating personal brands strategically on how the world perceived them. Bringing everything offline to online, I knew I had to learn a whole new way of working – so I put it out to the Universe and allowed myself to be in discovery mode for about a year. It was the emergence of the online world that caught my attention in 2005, 2006 that eventually led me to a women’s business coach who was teaching how to build an online business. That all sounded great, but I had no idea what I would do and how to build that online until she gave me my path. She said “You have been developing personal brands for over 20 yrs. Develop yourself into a personal branding coach for entrepreneurs and teach them how to turn themselves into a brand and monetize it through email marketing, social media, and a blog. I thought – great! But how do I that? Join me in my solo episode in how all that played out with highlights of how I’ve been teaching personal branding over the last 16 years. Learn what one brand element is core to your success in personal branding and how the power of storytelling is life changing with an opportunity to rebrand yourself or start from ground zero.

A calling to tell her truth publicly became a one-woman show in tribute to women’s strength and vulnerability 06/12/2024

A calling to tell her truth publicly became a one-woman show in tribute to women’s strength and vulnerability In the human potential world, we have a saying that is very true. “What is personal is universal.” On one hand, for good reason, you may be a private person where being vulnerable in front of people, especially on video, or anywhere publicly, can feel very uncomfortable and not acceptable. So, you keep it to yourself reserved for very close family and friends. That’s respected. Then there are others like myself and my guest, Dylan Jones, where we know there is a double blessing when we are courageous enough to listen to our intuition and be publicly vulnerable with our truth. The double blessing is the receiving of support from others you hoped for and being an inspiration to others and impacting their lives through your own story of struggle to transformation. That is the gift in the challenge. For Dylan, who is an actress and transformational life coach, her decision to deliver her vulnerability was a calling for healing through her own one woman show called Siren Song currently being presented at the Hollywood Fringe Festival June 13-30 – Her specific dates for her show are June 14, 24, 28 “I have always known that acting was my thumbprint and destiny from the time I was very young. It has often felt like it chose me as it is so much a part of how I see the world,” says Dylan. Her Siren Song solo show invokes acting icons Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and Greta Garbo to unwind the riddle of how to be a woman when the women you wanted to be like aren’t real and the woman who raised you is disappearing before your eyes. Her mother was her touchstone most of her life. Now Dylan watches over her mother who is under careful supervision for an illness. Imagine if you could ask your childhood icons anything, what would it be? What would they want us to know that they never got to say? So with that, you will have the privilege of hearing how this work of art came to be from her own life tapestry behind the scenes of how this performance was created. Loved this episode?

Christina’s brand stands for beauty from the inside out. Her passions are meeting new people, traveling, thinking creatively, and helping people feel and look like the best versions of themselves.

“I had no idea my YouTube channel was going to become a successful platform” 05/15/2024

“I had no idea my YouTube channel was going to become a successful platform” The beauty of intuition is that you never know where it will lead you. You must trust the direction and not listen to anyone’s uncertain feedback. You can count on it never being logical, rational, or making much sense. A usual reaction to an intuitive hunch is “Huh? Why that?” Such was the case with North Carolina based Katie Costa, a former science teacher turned successful Reiki Master YouTube brand. As Katie tells us in this episode, “When I lost my job as a science teacher in 2017, I decided intuitively to become a YouTuber. I had no idea that my YouTube channel was eventually going to become a successful platform to help me launch my own online and in-person businesses. Most people thought I was crazy for wanting to become a YouTuber. Little did they know that it led to a successful launching of my online and in-person business. I am also now monetized on YouTube, so creating videos is a big part of what I do for a living, which I enjoy thoroughly.” Who would have known? Only your intuition does. Katie is a Reiki Master Teacher, Shaman Master, Shamanic Life Coach, YouTuber, Oracle Card Reader, Reiki & Life Coach & Content Creator. I met Katie via her YouTube channel. I’ve been watching her Reiki healing episodes for a few years now with much success and I hired her for several Reiki healing and Life coaching sessions. She is a woman on a mission. She says her change in careers came with a big purpose. “I wanted to give back to humanity and live a life of purpose. I wanted to do something that had deeper meaning.” Her YT channel keeps growing and growing as she heals thousands of lives. The real deal. I wanted her on the podcast to share her wisdom with you. I know you will find her story and expertise fascinating. Tune in! We are on Spotify, Apple, Google & YouTube.

Her Intuitive Hunch Led to a $60,000 Contract 05/01/2024

Her Intuitive Hunch Led to a $60,000 Contract She was born to sell. You don’t need to work twice as hard to make twice as much. Laura’s charisma and natural sales talent took off right after she completed her Art Degree in college. Art to a sales career? Fascinating story how this all unfolded. In the episode, you will hear how her biggest failure due to the 2008 downturn in the economy thanks to the mortgage crisis left her $500K in paralyzing debt. Listen how her booming real estate business with over 100 properties went bust and what she did to make a comeback by taking her courage, resilience, and sales talent to turn a $250K business she was employed by into a $1.2 Million success inside of 2 years. Laura shares how vital listening to your intuitive hunches are as she explains the day she listened to a random intuitive message telling her to reach out to a former client. That serendipitous moment turned into a $60K contract. Her own transformational story around her challenge with relationship commitment can be a game changer for you as it was for her on all levels in her life. She has so many golden nuggets in this conversation, I couldn’t stop taking notes! You will, too. Be ready to write them down. She gives you loads to think about and begin taking action on. I recommend you re-listen to this a few times so as not to miss anything!

She found her joy at the intersection of building communities & renovating homes in Italy for the greatest good 04/17/2024

She found her joy at the intersection of building communities & renovating homes in Italy for the greatest good Delighted to have you meet Chris Sobolev, who I met in her Facebook group, All About Italy, only a few months ago. I was attracted to her good vibes and how she ran her FB group with integrity and fun! She has this genuine, caring quality about her. I had to have her on the show! Chris and her husband Pete, own Super Savvy Travelers, and work in the quaint seaside town of Calabria, Italy. They are marketing consultants and property and community developers who match their clients with the professionals in their network to find, purchase, and renovate Italian properties. They also provide marketing services for property sellers. They are not real estate agents in Italy. They made a life around the beautiful culture Italy offers. As you hear her tell behind the scenes stories of how she ended up in Italy after living in California most of her life, she explains their mission is to share the unspoiled beauty, food and culture of Italy with friends globally, and help them find and renovate properties for use as vacation or full-time homes. On her YouTube channel, you can see all her videos on current and past renovations of these old, distressed properties turning them into works of art. She just completed her own property, Casa Cristina, ready for short-term rentals in Santa Domenica Talao. I know you will find her as genuine as I did as she explains how passionate she and Pete are at helping grow the economy in small hilltop Italian towns and grow solid connections for the greatest good in the greatest number. What a great resource! Be sure to save this episode and the show notes to connect with Chris.

How Tuscany, Italy and our Laptop Lifestyles became Our Saving Grace for Living a Better Quality Life 04/03/2024

How Tuscany, Italy and our Laptop Lifestyles became Our Saving Grace for Living a Better Quality Life Hello creatives! I am honoring this episode to my mother. She would have been 88 today on April 3rd. She passed away last year, Sept 30, 2023. So, Mom, this one’s for you. She always supported me in my love of travel. She’d often ask, “where is the happy wanderer off to now?” Well, if you are listening Mom, it’s back to Tuscany this time but not solo – better yet with a group of passionate people who also love the joy of traveling to a new country experiencing new cultures, food, wine, and beautiful landscapes. Wish us luck in making it an incredible adventure for everyone! I have a unique episode today. It’s different in that my guest, Rico Mandel, co-host of our Sept Tuscany Culinary Adventure, joins me in having a fireside chat about our laptop lifestyles due to our love of travel and the transformation it brings to our lives. We hope this will hit a chord with you to do the same or some variation of it. And, today we are inviting you to join us live in our April 17th zoom webinar to further experience visually what we will be sharing with you today in the podcast. The no-cost lifestyle webinar, Liberate Your Life in the heart of Tuscany & Umbria, Italy, is now available for registration. Today’s episode, we will give you a glimpse of the webinar where we will cover the 9 day 8-night culinary adventure we designed for those of you who are craving that ultimate full immersion, slow paced Italian experience on Sept 21-29. This episode, however, we go into detail about why this, why now, our backstories, and how Italy transformed our lives and why we are passionate about you sharing this with us. We share our most vulnerable moments when Tuscany became our saving grace for living a better quality life there and back at home in the U.S. Rico and I have been longtime friends since 1986. We’ve remained friends throughout their own life’s journey over the last three, almost 4 decades. It was last year over dinner when they decided to bring together our shared passions for Italy, travel, cooking, culture, transformation, and play into creating a life changing Italian adventure! Get comfortable. Sip some fine wine while listening or enjoy your nature walk as we take you behind the scenes of a laptop lifestyle.

She defied all logic to partner with universal energy and intuition in producing one of her highest revenue months ever 03/20/2024

She defied all logic to partner with universal energy and intuition in producing one of her highest revenue months ever Have you ever had a season in your life when you intuitively knew it was time for a major change from the inside out but felt stuck, frustrated, and unsure how to move forward? Things were not showing up the way you know you wanted them to be. Then, not by coincidence, you connect with someone that became a catalyst for the change you craved and needed and before you know it, life began to shift, you felt rejuvenated, hopeful again. People, income, and relationships were elevated. Friends and family noticed the change in you – and began asking – “What is going on? Something is different and you are so happy!” Well, my special guest and client, Cindy Celis, will tell you her story of just that. A change that was inspired by listening to her intuition rather than ignoring it. As a result, she manifested her highest revenue month ever. Cindy is a well-respected, highly connected 20-year expert in the event industry with a wide range of experience in operations, planning, production and a service provider. Her current role is a partner and Business Development Director at Flair Project, a bar catering company specializing in providing our clients and guests a 'bar experience'. She is a native of Los Angeles living in Redondo Beach with her awesome husband of 22 years, 3 kids, 2 dogs and 3 cats. Cindy will catch you off guard when she tells you the career she was initially passionate about before the event industry. I was floored when she mentioned it. The two careers could not have been more different. Go figure? She’s a delight. Listen in for her golden nuggets in business and life.

She’ll Help You Uncover Your Unique Soul Design for Wealth Without Sacrificing Self-care 03/06/2024

She’ll Help You Uncover Your Unique Soul Design for Wealth Without Sacrificing Self-care Are you like me where I have always been intrigued by what makes a high achiever succeed and what really happened behind the scenes through their struggle to victory story? My special guest today will astound you as well as inspire you with just that. Her story. Today’s interview with Eugenia Oganova is more about the woman behind the brand and business in how she developed into a world-renowned clairvoyant Business Soul Strategist & Marketing Energetics Coach with over two decades of experience. She is also a best-selling author, speaker, and podcast host. So today is not so much about the clients who love and respect her or the efficiency of her coaching to help her clients get high achieving results. Instead, we explore the captivating story behind this genius woman, her clairvoyance, and how she found her self-care sweet spot. She’s generated multiple 7-figure revenues working with clients around the world as she traveled to 27 countries teaching her methodology, been featured in over 100 publications, and helped thousands of clients activate momentum, catalyze awakening, and fast-track business success, turning timelines of decades into months. So, what is the secret behind this woman’s success? You’ll have the answer in this episode and her fascinating story as a clairvoyant who turned into a multi-million-dollar coach for transformational female leaders ready to leverage their uniqueness to sustainably scale into multi-6 or 7-figures. She is the creator of the Conscious F.U.T.U.R.E. Method that unites “masculine” Business Strategy with “feminine” Quantum Energetics. You’ll hear how Eugenia’s grandmother nurtured the clairvoyance in her when everyone else in the family thought she was just “different.” Eugenia knew she was clairvoyant since 3 ½ years old. By 14, she had a business doing readings for adults all over the world seeking clarity and answers to their lives. Her most important mentors? Her grandmother, rock musicians, and non-physical beings. Enjoy the show!
