Today, I am delighted to introduce you to Joanna Walden, Personal Energy Mentor, Holistic Brand Consultant and author of The Inside Hustle: A mystical misfit’s journey into the unknown.

After twenty years of a successful advertising career in the global meccas of Melbourne, New York and London, Joanna left the corporate world to pursue her lifelong passion into the unseen world of energy, spirit and consciousness. 

Currently residing in Auckland, New Zealand, Joanna quit the corporate world to start a transformational consulting business, and begin sharing her knowledge and voice with the world.

Her debut book is the rock n’ roll version of transformation. It’s sex, drugs and spirituality, and the comedy of errors of her search for ultimate truth and purpose. It’s a confronting, honest and humorous account of her journey of personal evolution, which took Joanna to sacred sites and visceral energy experiences around the globe.

We talk about her adventurous spiritual journey - from the 9/11 attacks in New York, back to Auckland, via the Camino de Santiago, London and South America - and the lessons she learnt during that period of transformation. We share our hopes for a better, more enlightened, post COVID19 world, how to let go of expectations (project management is not always the solution to every problem) and what it truly means to get spiritually 'zapped.'

We also talk about the impact of coronavirus has on dating and relationships and our hopes for a better, more deeply connected world.
