Wow! Season 1 of Answer the Call podcast is wrapped! I am so grateful to everyone who has listened, shared, reviewed, and discussed this show. I am loving making it, and I can’t wait to bring you Season 2 next year.
As I’ve been reflecting on the last year and all of the transition I am currently in, I wanted to record a solo episode and share my processes and thoughts on how to navigate change. I talk about letting go, allowing support in, trusting that everything works out, and embracing change and challenge as helpful.
Entering a new year and decade, I’m excited to keep answering the call of my own life, and I am here to support you in doing the same.
“More of us answering the call in our life is the change we need to see in the world.”

If you caught Episode 9 of the podcast with my good friend and fellow coach Libby Crow, you’ll love this one. I recently recorded an episode for Libby’s podcast, Beyond the Dream, and I thought what we discussed was so valuable, I asked Libby if I could post the conversation on my podcast.
If you’re new to Libby, you’re in for a treat. After mentoring thousands of people 1:1, launching online courses and group programs, hosting LIVE retreats and workshops around the country, Libby found structure to be the two missing links for entrepreneurs to get out of hustle mode and finally treat their business like a business: Strategy + Structure. Her first dose of entrepreneurship went down when she was still an elementary teacher and started a business on the side. Since then she has built her business to 7 figures and has recently slowed down on purpose.
In this conversation, Libby talks to me about how I learned to be a conscious boss of my own life, return to my feminine energy, slow down, and embrace the business I want, not just the business I thought I should have.
“I’m following my highest excitement.”

How is your relationship with food and your body? Have you been at war with them? This episode is a raw, intimate conversation with my personal food and body image coach Isabel Foxen Duke. Isabel has been an instrumental part of my healing my relationship with my body and food. I feel so passionate about sharing these truths for anyone else suffering from the kind of toxicity that can come from an unhealthy body image.
Isabel Foxen Duke is the Creator of Stop Fighting Food—a free video training and group coaching program for women who want to "stop feeling crazy around food." After years of trying to overcome emotional eating, binge-eating and chronic weight-cycling through "traditional" and alternative approaches, Isabel discovered some radical new ways to get women over their "food issues" once and for all—not just by shifting the mindsets of individuals, but by challenging the dominant diet culture as a whole. A fixture and thought-leader in the greater body-positive movement, Isabel has been featured in the Huffington Post, Elle Magazine, XOJane, and has been praised by Ricki Lake.
This is one of the most vulnerable episodes that I’ve recorded so far. My intention is that you can relate, be encouraged, and take action to start healing your own body and relationship to food, health, and self-love.
“Body diversity is real. People are designed to be different bodies.”

A few weeks ago, I found myself up at midnight in bed scribbling down ideas for life and business. I was thinking about a new client call I’d had that day, business ideas friends had given me, and my own goals for my life. I realized this was a perfect example of what it looks like for me to answer the call in my life.
I grabbed my podcast mic and recorded a quick solo episode right then about my thoughts. I believe that it’s so important to be authentic about the process, so here’s my notes from my own journey. Hoping it inspires you to trust your own.

If you’ve ever been at complete rock bottom and felt like it just can’t get any worse, today’s episode is for you. My friend Garrain Jones is unbelievably inspiring when it comes to changing your entire life.
Garrain dealt with homelessness for 2 ½ years, living out of his car and feeling like he was drowning in misery, as well as being sent to prison for 2 ½ years. Yet, going through both of those difficulties, and more, he found a way to turn his life around. In a place of difficulty, Garrain developed the strength to rescue himself. Health and fitness play such a big role in his life because he grew up thinking success was in material things. It wasn’t until he got healthy that he started to feel different.
6 ½ years after being homeless, Garrain is now a serial entrepreneur who motivates and inspires thousands. The knowledge he gained while being shaped and molded sent him down the pathway to become a Transformation Coach. He is an advocate for living a healthy life, business coach, speaker, and author of the soon-to-be-released book, “Change Your Mindset Change Your Life.”
We recorded this conversation a couple of years ago for my previous show, and it was so popular that I wanted to bring it back from the archives to share again.
“You either win or you learn, which means you’re always winning.”

I met today’s guest at a speaker training a couple of years ago and absolutely love what she is up to. Satya is the founder of Satya Jewelry, the first yoga-inspired jewelry company that has been in business for over a decade.
After 30 days of intensive yoga training in the Bahamas, she was given my spiritual name, Satya. Unsure of the word's meaning at first, she soon learned that it meant "truth" in Sanskrit. That evening, she had the dream that she would start making jewelry of all truths and donate to children throughout the world. Now, fifteen years later, she is designing beautiful, meaningful and inspiring jewelry, handcrafted for the modern and fearless woman in mind.
Radiant, symbolic and powerful, she incorporates semi-precious stones and sacred symbols into pieces that honor the infinite potential of all who wear them. She is so proud to donate a percentage of all sales are donated to the Satya Foundation; her 501 (c) organization that has raised over $1 million for children's charities throughout the world.
This conversation had me saying “yes” over and over again. We discussed the challenges and power of being a female entrepreneur, the importance of self-love, and why it’s so important to learn to surrender.
“If you’re trying to manifest anything, self love first.”

I met today’s guest, an amazing human named Seb, at a dance class in LA. It turns out he is a super inspiring entrepreneur with a huge passion for helping people. I knew I had to have him on the podcast to talk about how he has answered the call in a big way.
In 2009, at the ripe-old age of 27, Sebastian realised that like most people, he had not achieved anything on his subconscious list. The death of a close friend combined with a naturally abstract view on life sparked a moment of clarity.
“If I was to die today, could I look back at my life and be happy at how I’d lived?”
The answer was NO, and so Sebastian decided to put pen to paper and create a list of 100 Things. His goal, to find happiness. Armed with this piece of paper, a backpack and next to no money, Sebastian dropped everything in his life and boarded a plane, hopeful that with the right mindset, anything would be possible, including true fulfillment.
Now 10 years and counting, Sebastian has ticked off 72 items, has raised over $350,000 for various charities (including Camp Quality, Make-A-Wish Foundation and Alzheimer's Australia) and has personally helped thousands of people start and achieve their own lists.
This conversation is all about the heart, taking a big leap, and not having it all figured out before you answer the call.
“Our dreams and goals are just a vehicle to figure out who we are.”

If you’ve been listening to the show for a bit, you know I feel passionately about burnout at work and learning to play again. I also believe that we each have a unique calling to fulfill in our lives. So when I had the chance to talk to my friend Ruby about both of these topics, it was amazing.
Author of Material Girl, Mystical World (2017), Sober Curious (Jan 2019), and The Numinous Astro Deck (June 2019). Voice behind the term “Now Age.” Founder of The Numinous. With 20 years’ experience as a lifestyle journalist, Ruby is an author, speaker, book doula, curator, brand consultant, copywriter, and thought leader. With her books, her brand work, and her live events and retreats, her mission is to inspire people to see the world through a new lens—inviting them to engage with life on a deeper, more meaningful level.
Ruby shares incredible insights in this conversation about how she has navigated multiple career pivots, learned to rest and play after burnout, and how astrology (one of her zones of genius) can help us plan for the future.

This is the third and final behind-the-success conversation from my recent time in Byron Bay with two of my favorite friends, Alexi Panos and Hollie Azzopardi. This time we are joined by the incredible founder of Imbibe Living, the wellness entrepreneur, Felicity Evans.
I connected with Felicity online a few years ago, when her business was in one iteration, and she supplied drinks for a retreat I hosted in Byron Bay, and have since then formed a friendship. Since then Imbibe has taken new turns, released new products and it is amazing watching her and the company grow into the beautiful brand it is today, providing internal wellness products (that are seriously delicious) and also great for you. It hasn't always been easy though, and she has taken huge risks to get there. We deep dive into the level of trust and surrender required in business, how to make the big bold decisions, managing business, partnership and so much more on today’s episode.

Jordanna is an author, podcaster, manifestor, lunar lover and (closet) stand-up comic, who has a knack for taking mind-exploding spiritual concepts and making them digestible, relatable and applicable to everyone.

We also dived into dating, relationships, of course spirituality, astrology, the pressure of entrepreneurship and so much in between. This is another delicious conversation that has no boundaries, and is essentially 4 women in the world up to big things, talking about what we go through to create the life and business we desire.

Have you been building your business, putting your heart into it, giving it your all, and feeling like it might not be worth it? Today’s episode is tailor made for you (and trust me, I’ve been there).
My friend Libby Crow has coached thousands of entrepreneurs through the evolutions of their business. But recently, she went through a big pivot herself.
After mentoring thousands of people 1:1, launching online courses and group programs, hosting LIVE retreats and workshops around the country, Libby found structure to be the two missing links for entrepreneurs to get out of hustle mode and finally treat their business like a business: Strategy + Structure. Her first dose of entrepreneurship went down when she was still an elementary teacher and started a business on the side. Since then she has built her business to 7 figures and has recently slowed down on purpose.
In this conversation, we dive into the mental and physical shifts that have to happen in order to build (or pivot) a business that brings you happiness, health, AND abundance.

I have been so excited to share this conversation with you on the podcast because my friend Caitlyn does not hold back. This episode is straight truth-talking about some juicy subjects, and I can’t wait for you to listen.
After creating incredible results in her life and business with strategies that seemed to “woo-woo” for traditional personal development or entrepreneurship, Caitlyn knew she had to introduce some of the magical work she had studied, embodied, and mastered with her clients. She helps women EMBODY leadership and abundance through transforming their subconscious minds, awakening flow states, and activating creative resources within them so they can truly manifest whatever they desire.
She utilizes hypnotherapy, NLP, biz strategy, intuitive development, and quantum physics to support women through personal and business transformations in her private mentorship, podcast, speaking and live events.
Caitlyn is a spiritual leader in the work around women ascending to their full power, while supporting men to do the same. This conversation is packed with raw, real life examples and how to’s for how you can do this as well.

I’ve been really excited to share this story and this guest with you for the past few weeks. As you probably know, I had the opportunity to visit the maximum security prison called Pelican Bay in California for three days recently, working with inmates around transformation and entrepreneurship through an amazing program called Hustle 2.0.
One of the incredible people I was there with was Corey McCarthy, a former incarcerated person himself, who has since transformed his life. He has become a brother, and I love the stand this man takes for his fellow brothers, and I am so grateful to have such an epic human in my life! Corey lives in Buffalo, New York with his girlfriend and three children. He is the founder and owner of McCarthy I.E., a company that specializes in the restoration of historic churches and architectural homes. At age seven Corey was attacked by a stranger in a public place which altered his life significantly. One traumatic event led to the next, the result being years of addiction, visits in rehab facilities, jails, mental inpatient services, homelessness and eventually an extended stay of seven-plus years in N.Y.S correctional system. Defying the odds, Corey has endured and overcome. He embraced a new narrative of gratitude and hope. Because of the changes he’s made he has built a strong business with a family of employees. He has built a loving home. His life’s work is most certainly the time he spends on a daily basis doing whatever he can to help others change their narrative, anyone who feels damaged, dirty, alone or just plain not good enough. This is where he derives true meaning and purpose.
This episode is our conversation recapping and discussing what we experienced while at Pelican Bay, and truly what we learned about the worth of every human, how important it is to understand people in relation to what they have been through, and how we really are all one human race in need of love and belonging.
“To live in a self-devaluing way goes against our nature.”
