For nineteen years, Jennie Edwards has been teaching people how to stop hiding from the camera and start trusting it. Known as Joyful Jennie, she left a cubicle and an ad agency job in the Midwest for Southern California, where she built a career as a brand visionary storyteller helping entrepreneurs, speakers, and business owners show up as their most authentic selves on video.

In this conversation with Dawna Campbell, Edwards shares the techniques she uses to help nervous clients relax in front of a lens, why she believes we are living through a trust recession, and what changes when someone finally lets their guard down on camera. She also opens up about her work producing branding retreats, event content, and video strategy for growing businesses, and the moment she realized that perfect footage is often the least memorable kind.

Because the people who connect are rarely the ones who look flawless. They are the ones who show up as themselves.

What does it take for a corporate technology executive who helped launch what is now Sirius XM Radio to walk away from everything she knew and build a streaming network for astrologers, life coaches, healers, and psychic mediums instead? In this conversation, Ellen Mahloy, CEO of Ethereal TV Networks, talks candidly about the winding path that took her there: an undiagnosed learning difference that turned into her greatest professional strength, seven years spent chasing an illness no doctor could name, and a wedding gift of advanced Reiki training that opened a door she never asked to walk through.

Mahloy brings honesty, humor, and hard-earned clarity to this episode, from the diagnosis that finally gave her life back, to the moment she stopped resisting a spiritual gift she could not explain and started building something with it. The conversation is warm, unguarded, and genuinely inspiring, with a message that resonates well beyond the metaphysical world: sometimes the detour is the destination.

Some people study spirituality. Alisha Das LIVES it. A spiritual intuitive, ordained minister, author, and podcast host, Alisha doesn’t just connect with divine energy—she helps people experience it.

From childhood, she spoke the language of angels—a connection so powerful it carried her through life’s darkest moments. But growing up in rural Indiana, she learned quickly that her gifts weren’t always understood. So she hid them… until the universe refused to let her stay small.

Now? She’s a bridge between the physical and the celestial—helping people tap into their own divine guidance, break through their blocks, and witness their own magnificence. Through her Soul Awakening podcast, she’s interviewed thought leaders like Marianne Williamson, Jack Canfield, and Neale Donald Walsch—not just to share their wisdom, but to help listeners recognize their own divine power.

Her message? You are NOT alone. You are surrounded, guided, and protected—if only you learn to trust the voice within.

And with her upcoming book, Your Angelic Ancestry, published by Hay House, she’s about to help even more people discover the truth: You were never meant to play small. You were born to shine.
