Joyous Journeys in Life + Business with Sharon Joy

Meet Lana Hall: psychologist, author, and woman on a mission to empower other women to live a meaningful, authentic and joyous life with full confidence.

Lana lives in Brisbane, Australia, and loves the beach, personal development, creative project, random adventures, and peanut butter.

Lana is married, with two children, two businesses, and a tendency towards worrying about ‘doing enough’ and getting things ‘right’ – she was the original inspiration for her book, The Slow Life Project, which helps readers focus on, and embody, what’s truly meaningful to them in life, and in doing so, feel satisfied, on the right path for them, and know that what they’re doing really is enough.

Having worked in the mental health field since 2006, and with a life long interest in personal development, Lana’s big vision is to share the benefits of psychological strategies and knowledge with a much larger audience than would ever go to a psychologist.

Lana has taken the best of the best of what she’s found works to promote confidence, resilience and a passion for your own life and has put these tools and strategies into a guide book that you can use to navigate your world as your authentic self, while having a ton of fun doing so! These tools and strategies also form the basis of The Slow Life Project Practitioner Manual, a 22 module workbook and worksheet bundle to assist those who work in therapeutic and healing fields teach these strategies to their clients.

For 20 years Alpha worked in the Accounting and Finance industries.

It was only when she was working with a Financial Planner for her personal finances that she realised how much she didn't know. This kick-started her journey to learn more about how money works, and then aligning this to a person's Core Values. The clarity that comes from this knowledge is amazing – every decision becomes easier and smoother. It also makes it possible to see how our "Money Story" holds us back.

Money is a tool to help us live the lifestyle we want. Find out what your values are and the lifestyle you want, and then make your money match! Alpha's approach is to make sure that you have fun while on this transformational money journey.

Alpha and I talk about how our knowing our core values can help us to manage our finances better and how holding onto our money stories can impact our entrepreneurial spirit. Discover how to build money momentum while having fun in the process and receive some last-minute EOFY tips from a finance professional.

My guest in this episode is none other than my client, Elodie Joy of Sunshine Holistic Wellness.

Elodie is a Holistic Counsellor & Life Coach, Reiki Master, Yoga Instructor, Meditation Teacher, Access bars Practitioner, Reflexologist & Registered Nurse.

She is a believer in science and spirituality and in this chinwag, we talk about how those worlds collided for her and her transition from health care to a holistic healer.

We also chat about Elodie's rapid business success since commencing coaching with me. Within 6 months of becoming a client, she left her nursing career and went full-time in her business, dramatically increasing her income and client reach.

I love that Elodie is also a Joy like me and from the very moment she found me on the Gram and became a client, she's been exactly that! An absolutely JOY to work with and someone who is really willing to do the inner and the outer work. Her results are no accident!

I know you'll be inspired not only by Elodie's success but her story from a burnt-out theatre nurse who was questioning the system to an inspirational Holistic Counsellor & Coach who is changing so many lives in her local community of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and well beyond!

The number 1 thing new clients tell me is that they "don't know how to run a business" and are often stuck swirling with the idea of the HOW to grow a business, unclear of what to do next and where to put their energy and effort.

This results in....

A lack of clarity

Confusion

Being swayed here and there based on free advice they see on social media

No audience growth

No income or income that is inconsistent

No engagement on social media

No email list

Flaky consistency

In this episode, I go into the 8 Clarity Pillars that I recommend to help move your business from the start-up phase (which is likely MUCH longer than you expect - I also speak to this) to the growth phase.

I preface this episode with an unpopular opinion that challenges the anti-step-by-step AKA anti-blueprint brigade. As an experienced educator, this one has been brewing for a while! As always, I'm challenging hard and fast rules to do this or that and instead sitting in the messy middle where there are shades of grey. There are times when step-by-step guidance and blueprints work very well and can help accelerate implementation and there are times when businesses can afford to throw away the script and go for it!... Here's a clue.... early in your business, I don't really recommend it!

This episode gives you some great guidance as to how you can get through the start-up phase by laying solid foundations using my 8 Clarity Pillars.

The end of the financial year is a far more exciting time in business for me than the beginning of the calendar year. It's a time when we're usually in full flow in our business and we are super clear about what we want to bring through in the second half of the year.

It's a great time to take stock, to get our financials sorted and plan for the coming financial year.

In this episode you'll hear the 6 easy things that can help you get a head start on the new financial year by lining up your ducks now. 

Stepping into being an entrepreneur means prioritising profit and managing your money. If you haven't been across this then ask yourself, "I am ready to make the new financial year my time?"

If the answer is yes then get excited to get across it! I like to gamify my numbers to make it more fun. Meeting them from a place of curiosity and intrigue.

Bec is someone I truly look up to but also someone who is so incredibly human. Her salt of the earth approach to everything fuels those around her. Drink in some of her fuel in this candid and open conversation.

As I step more and more into exploring my Human Design, I realise that part of my purpose is to swirl, to experience and then to report back the lessons and things that I have learned, analysed and found my way through.

The 6 mistakes I share with you in this episode are some of the biggest mistakes that became powerful lessons on my journey. Lessons I was meant to experience to share with you.

Some of these mistakes I don't doubt you too may have also made or perhaps you're currently in the trenches wondering why something isn't working. I hope that this episode sheds some light for you.

In my interview with Business & Mindset Coach Em Gee, we discuss the perception effect, NLP, her recent book & program launch and that suit!

In less than five years as a solo-preneur Em Gee has become a best selling author and international business and mindset coach to women all over the world. Her unwavering belief in all women to shine as leaders in their own fields, has led her to teach 'unstoppability' as a quality already there to be unleashed from within every single business owner she works with.

As a mum of two young girls, Em Gee prides herself on being transparent, authentic and true to her values, all while scaling her business in ways not everyone expects. Thinking out of the box is her style, paving the way for others to do the same and get equally unstoppable results.

Em oozes charisma and fun and I'm so honoured that she's come on to share her gold with us!
