Oh My Goodness! with Aj Smit

Hi friends, this episode is about holding the both/and when the world keeps asking us to pick a side, be certain, and have the right answer. There has been A LOT of things happening, both in my and my clients lives that has influenced this episode, and I'm really interested to hear your thoughts.

I’m sharing why I’m learning to stay open, trust my values, and resource myself instead of outsourcing my judgment to louder voices. We’ll talk about nuance, AI, politics, faith, vulnerability, and the messy work of making room for hard feelings and joy at the same time.

I’ll also share grounding practices (hello HALTO) like sleep, food, water, and taking action, to help us respond with care, get out of freeze and feel less fear. This isn’t about having it all figured out, it's about being able to swim in wild waters when it feels like there's no solid ground beneath your feet because the world is shifting so fast.

THE JOY CRUISE is officially happening May 2-8th, 2027. We have 6 spots available. It's 4 months of 1:1 and group coaching, and in month three we anchor it all on a cruise! Find out more here: www.thejoyweaver/joycruise

In this episode, I talk about creating personal protocols for the season you are in—whether you’re navigating burnout, a busy stretch or trying to feel more grounded. I share how “shoulds” can reveal shame and pull us away from the reality of what we need. I walk through my non-negotiables, including movement, food, water, meetings, medication and sleep, plus the helpful extras that make life easier.

You’ll hear how I’m adapting my routines during this travel season, making room for changing capacity, gratitude, joy and support. Protocols may seem weird to have, but their a huge benefit to be able to lean back on in every season.

In this episode, I’m talking to the version of you who feels “what the fuck, I’m feeling everything and I don’t even know what I feel.” I walk you through a basic nervous system reset (halt-o check, food, water, rest, movement, connection), then invite you to name the many emotions you’re actually holding. 

Together we sort: What’s mine, what’s theirs, what’s imaginary? Is this based in reality or a story in my head? I share my own launch-season feels, why community matters, and how slowing down to feel it all creates more clarity, self-trust, and grounded action.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to play full out, and why the stretch is actually the point. I share honest, behind-the-scenes stories about imposter feelings, over-responsibility, money, marketing the Joy Cruise, and what it takes to root into reality instead of “shoulds.”

We’ll explore how to lower the bar to meet your actual capacity, ask for support, and build the bridge as you walk it. This is a from my chest, love note to you with truth-telling, a little glitter, and a lot of encouragement to trust your nudges, honor your body, and practice joy, even (really especially) when it feels stretchy.

In this episode, I sit down with my mastermind sister Miriam to talk about what it really means to “move things with your soul.” We explore creativity as something every human has, not just “artists,” and how subconscious reprogramming, nervous system regulation, and play help you actually live the life you keep visioning.

We name the grief of watching others not go for their dreams, the courage of making yourself proud first, and why joy is not bypassing. You’ll leave with permission to start at zero, take tiny playful actions, and build a life that feels alive now, not someday.Miriam supports entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders in building fulfilling, impactful, and rich lives through science-backed strategic coaching, subconscious reprogramming, and nervous system regulation. She leverages pleasure, play, and creativity to enable clients to build thriving businesses, liberated identities, and intimate relationships in alignment with who they really are.

In addition to her 1:1 work, Miriam also runs an online creative membership for women & femmes desiring more accountability, community, and space for focused creativity with other kind, ambitious, collective-liberation-inspired, transformational humans.

She’s a proud New Yorker and former high school educator, school leader, and equity consultant, currently living in Brooklyn with her pittie rescue, Marcus.

In this episode of Oh My Goodness, I sit down with transformational coach and intuitive guide Tonja Mills to explore what “energy work” actually is in real life—not just in woo-woo theory. We talk about tuning into your big yes and clearing out everyone else’s expectations, using tools like hypnosis, channeling, dreams, nature, and journaling to access deeper guidance.

We also get real about the messy middle of business, boundaries, burnout, money, and learning to trust that Spirit and support are already here. This one is for anyone craving more joy, magic, and alignment in everyday life.

Tonja Mills is a transformational coach, intuitive guide, and founder of Higher Love. She helps visionary women and entrepreneurs release self-doubt, trust their inner wisdom, and create greater abundance, impact, and fulfillment through a powerful blend of subconscious transformation, energy work, hypnosis, and intuitive guidance.

In this episode of Oh My Goodness, I walk you through another round of my personal glossary. I explore flow as the river of Spirit moving through our lives and bodies, then introduce HALTOS as a gentle check-in for when we’re off-center. We unpack the inner critic versus intuition, and I share how growth is exponential, built from tiny shifts and everyday choices. I celebrate maraca moments for small wins, talk about our protective parts (preschoolers in adult clothes!), and define different potato moods. Throughout, I invite you to honor your humanity, take up space, and enjoy your joy.My 1:1 containers have 4 spots available! 2 in Radiant Soul Support and 2 for Spacious Soul Support, just send me an email at [email protected] Let's connect:Facebook: ⁠The Joy Weaver⁠Facebook Group: ⁠Embodied In Joy⁠Instagram: ⁠TheJoyWeaver⁠TikTok: ⁠The.Joy.Weaver⁠Youtube: ⁠The Joy Weaver

In this episode, I’m giving you Spark Notes from the Absurdist Delight journey—a two‑month exploration I ran this summer of real, grounded joy, not just “twirl and be happy” vibes. I walk you through mapping the context of your life, creating a Joy Map, and finding accessible joy even in hard seasons, chronic illness, or political absurdity.

We talk fuck-it buckets, joy snacks, small sustainable shifts, and why your joy is not something you have to earn through suffering. My hope is that by the end, you’ll feel lighter, braver, and more willing to claim joy as your birthright, every day.

In this episode, I sit down with pleasure and business coach Janellea to talk about how we can choose pleasure on purpose—especially in seasons of transition. She shares her wild, winding path from music educator and quilting author to pleasure-centered business coach, and why pleasure is a discipline, not just a treat.

We explore practical “body” and “brain” access points to pleasure, why joy doesn’t erase fear, and how to dream into your future using her playful million-dollar game. You’ll walk away with new ways to soften panic, reclaim desire, and let pleasure actually shape your next chapter.

Janellea is a coach, creative entrepreneur, and lifelong problem-solver who has renovated houses, topped the Amazon bestseller list, run national book tours, and spun up a professional-caliber summer choral program in six months flat. With roots in music education and music therapy, a pleasure coach through Regena Thomashauer's School of Womanly Arts, and project management, she helps people organize their information, their environments, and their time so their work can fund the life they actually want, not the other way around.

Her freebie for you is the Drop In Vs. Drop Out Method- which is a great follow-up from the Million Dollar Game because it helps you set your course for your next chunk of days/weeks/months.

Okay, this one got vulnerable. I sat down thinking I'd give you a quick 30-minute heads-up and we hit a full hour. I'm pulling back the curtain: five years sober as of earlier this month, the burnout that gutted me, the faith shift that got me emails telling me I'm going to hell, and the very real fear of success nobody warns you about.

We're talking about what happens when you finally get your dream life and go "oh, I have to build something up here too." And also noticing when some things don't work or feel like you think they should. If you (like me because I'm always curious) enjoy knowing what's actually going on behind the scenes, and what my process has been this last five years as my buisness has grown and I've healed, this is that.

My 1:1 containers are currently sold out, but you can be on the waitlist for when spots open in August, just send me an email at [email protected]
