Welcome back to the "Hey, Wait" Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. In each episode she shares stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today's episode, Jay is joined by Jane Bond. Jane is a powerhouse in luxury real estate (Naples, NYC, Philly), and a fierce advocate for women. Having "unpacked her life," Jane now inspires women through her podcast, Unpack Your Life, to pause and take an honest look at their lives—and to ask themselves if what they're going through is allowing for their growth or keeping them hostage?

When her career, marriage, finances, and ego all collapsed at once, Jane had to let go of everything she thought made her who she was. In this major "Hey wait" moment, she stepped out of performance and into reckoning—with her truth, her fear, and her power. Together, she and Jay talk about what it takes to stop performing and to start living from presence.

Except it took two takes…because the first time Jay and Jane sat down to record the interview, they both fell into old patterns of performing and people pleasing, and it didn't come across as authentically as they knew they were capable of being. So two women who, in earlier chapters of their lives, would've either kept the inauthentic version or thrown it in the trash and walked away, instead chose to stay, have an honest and hard conversation and give themselves and each other a second chance. Give it a listen to see what came out of their second conversation.
