This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they were the problem.  

Hayley and I sat down to talk about something that’s been showing up a lot. You know those pesky stories that “we must be the issue”.

That feeling of constantly questioning yourself, wondering if maybe you’re the reason things didn’t work out. The relationship, the job, the friendship, the dream that didn’t land the way you thought it would. 

We talked about how easy it is to carry other people’s pain and blame as our own. How sometimes self-awareness turns into self-blame. How trying to grow and heal can quietly become another way of proving your worth. 

But here’s the truth I’m sitting with right now:

It is always both.

This episode isn’t about fixing anything. 

 It’s just a real and honest conversation. A moment to pause. A reminder that maybe you don’t need to carry it all anymore. Maybe you were never broken to begin with.

If you’re tired of trying so hard to be okay, this one’s for you.

Come sit with us.

In this episode, I open up about the messy magic of starting something new and why embracing the role of “the fool” takes real courage.

So many tears were shed, they just kept coming as I shared the rawness of the loss of my dad and the courage it took to use my voice one last time from the deepest place of love.

This is raw and messy and a reminder of what I believe the whole point actually is.

Hey babe so this episode takes us straight to the moment of where it all began. Mands and I talk on all things The Heart is the Bar, the work we do together and Mand’s shares her own experience of what has being possible for her since Playing the Fool in her own way. She is the “Cool One” and I am the "Daggy Mum" which I fully own and love her for.

If you’ve ever found yourself laughing at your own chaos or embracing the cringe with pride, this episode will feel like home. Plus, there’s an inside joke you won’t want to miss, Amanda completely starves me in a way that feels so TRUE lol (And yes I did just get her back her by calling her Amanda)

This is a conversation about love, liberation, and what it really means to lead yourself first.

This isn’t just a podcast - it’s a movement back to yourself. Are you ready, babe?

Welcome to the playing the fool podcast ✨

I'm your host, Jana Saunders. I'm a proud as fuck life and relationship coach and personal development nerd with a huge passion to get every single woman in the arena of their own lives. 

I have over 10 years experience coaching hundreds of women and couples. Just to be clear, I'm not a look and learn coach. I'm a get in and get your ass lovingly kicked, kind of coach and hug it out at the end.

I've been where you may be right now. For years, I sat on the sidelines of my life, stuck in fear in my head, in the past of that one time I was put back in my corner, and I let it cripple me with fear, that was until one day, the pain of staying hidden was too much to take, and I made the choice to get my butt in the arena of my own life, to take the risk of looking like a beginner, looking silly, and, God forbid, looking like a try hard. 

My promise to you is to show up here in all of my parts and seasons with my heart proudly on my sleeve, gatekeeping nothing but asking us all to walk our goddamn asses out of the corners we were never born to exist in. 

Let's play.
