Mama Joy

For the first time ever we have a second-round interview with a guest on the Let It Shine Podcast. And in some ways, Laura Jane Jones, requires little introduction. I rave about her and her work all the time, particularly if you hang out on Instagram with me. Laura first shared her story in Episode 43, and how she started tapping into her creativity as a way to manage change and stress.

Fast-forward around 12 months since that conversation and so much has evolved for her! In today’s episode we get into the juicy details of how she published her first book (the fun bits and the hard bits); what she teaches her kids in class that all adults should learn too (my favourite part); and accessing a sense of certainty from within. I can’t wait for you to tune in and share with us both your favourite insights.

To celebrate 100 episodes, I’m doing something a little different today! I’m sharing with you some very real-time emotions, lessons and ‘messiness’ from a few months of big life changes. You’ll hear how I’m processing all the feelings (and why that’s a big deal), and the give biggest lessons I’m starting to integrate into the transition. This episode is for anyone who has ever doubted a big decision they’ve made in their life, feels stuck (in their job, in their relationship, in their life), or is moving through any kind of change, big or small. These lessons have become pillars, anchoring me back into my trust in myself, and my joy.

Are you as committed to your JOY as you are to your deadlines, keeping your boss happy, and taking care of those around you? In today's episode I'm sharing the importance of getting stubborn about your joy and why it matters. For so many of us our inbuilt autopilot reaction is to choose hard work over ease, drama over joy and pain over pleasure. However when we can get to know and embody our joy on a deep level it can actually give us all the support, and fuel to move through our biggest challenges. It's time to flip your priorities and practice your joy.

Liz Spears is someone who oozes joy from the moment you meet her. Caring, attentive and completely committed to supporting others to shine - you can see why I wanted to have her on the show to share her story and wisdom.

She spent years ""feeling miserable, undervalued, and unfilled working in the fashion industry, I started working for a well-known women's activewear brand where I found the career joy and purpose I was searching for"". Which she ended up finding after connecting with like-minded souls, and eventually setting up her own marketing consultancy business - teaching purpose-led womxn how to promote their businesses online with authenticity, magic and magnetism.

We talked lots about following the joy, excitement and peacefulness in life; how to make a change when you feel 'out of alignment'; and what being a hard-worker can look like (without the burn out).

Britny Jelacic had always done the ‘good girl thing’ until a series of back to back traumatic events had her questioning how she was showing up in the world.

She says it took her “getting majorly burnt out and diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and being almost bedridden” to realise how much things needed to change.

Through her business, Britny helps women in business do less and thrive by aligning with their cycle, human design, and wild unfiltered selves.

We dive into her burn out experience and the lessons it taught her, the paradox of over-working when you love your own business (and how to shift that mindset), and what doing ‘nothing’ teaches us.

I loved so much about this conversation and can’t wait to hear your insights!

Were you someone who grew up ‘holding it all together’ and not necessarily expressing your emotions?

Maybe you thought that it wasn’t okay to cry, or to be angry, and instead you had to show your strong, happy self all the time.

The confusion we have over our sense of ‘busyness’ is that we feel that the busier we become the more in control we’ll be. And if we’re more in control, then surely we can direct those feelings and emotions to where we want them to go.

Unfortunately the almost opposite is true. Busy for most people is a ‘numbing’ strategy, one that stops you from not just feeling all those uncomfortable things (stress, overwhelm, exhaustion), but also stops you from experiencing the joy (excitement, delight, pleasure).

In today’s episode we dive a little deeper into why feelings are so important and how allowing yourself to soften into both sides of the emotional spectrum will transform not just your relationship with busy (for good!), also your entire life—making that vision for more ease, joy, efficiency, fun and fullness easy to fulfil.

Milena Regos grew up in Bulgaria, playing in nature under the stars. Moving to the U.S. she then spent 24 years in a very successful marketing career—working with “a Rolodex of clients that would make most marketer’s jaws drop” as she describes it.

However, despite her thriving career, nice house, and loving husband—she felt more like she was living a “nightmare”.

She’s since switched her life to focus on deep joy instead of momentary joy and is on a mission to help stressed out entrepreneurs and overwhelmed leaders challenge the status quo and begin a new way of living and working. The ‘unhustle’ way.

We talk about what happens when you have no time for joy, Milena’s digital detox turning point, and how to reset and realign ourselves with what really matters, and so much more!

If you’re someone who LOVES being busy – it gives you that sense of satisfaction, productivity and achievement – then this episode is for you!

We can be quick to lump everything into one category, and our definitions of what ‘busyness’ really means to us can keep us stuck in patterns that aren’t really serving us.

However, when we can get clear on the parts of busy we love, and the parts that weigh us down, then we’re onto a sustainable success strategy!

In this episode I talk about how busy actually has different ‘archetypes’ and how you can start to get to know your very own; why this matters; and how defining your versions of busy will support you to create even more success and joy in your life.
