Linda Cliatt-Wayman spent 20 years teaching special education before rising to oversee all high schools in The School District of Philadelphia, but her defining moment came when she stepped up to lead Strawberry Mansion High School: a school that no one wanted to run.

In this conversation from a Joy 101 event earlier this year, Wayman sits down with Hoda to share how she inspired real change in her students and how she's continuing that work in her latest chapter.

Pursuing your goals isn't always about adding more to your plate—it's often about taking things off. In this episode, I share why chasing your purpose requires more than just new habits; it calls for eliminating the distractions, energy-drainers, and time-wasters that keep you stuck. Sometimes the fastest way forward is to do less, but with greater focus, mindfulness, and intention.

For award-winning poet and bestselling author Ross Gay, joy and delight aren't frivolous or a privilege.

Erin Andrews is a fixture on the NFL sidelines. She's been a sportscaster for more than two decades, and is a legend in the sports industry. But like the rest of us, not every season has felt like a winning one for Erin. She's learned that some test your strength, your endurance and your drive to keep going.

We talk a lot about self-care as moms, but most of the time, the examples we're given (bubble baths, massages, solo Target runs) only scratch the surface.   The truth is, there's not one kind of self-care. There are actually several distinct forms of care we need, and they each serve a different purpose in our lives and in our motherhood. When we only reach for one type, it makes sense that we still feel burned out, even after “taking a break.” This week on the podcast, I'm joined by self-care coach Mia Hemstad, who shares her simple, powerful framework: The 4B's of Self-Care© to help us better identify what we need (and when!). You'll hear:

In Episode 14 of Flow, Cam Cooksey reflects on the internal clutter that prevents us from stepping fully into joy, presence, and purpose. With a calm, introspective tone, Cam explores how life's disruptions, whether physical, emotional, or energetic, can subtly drain our capacity for creativity and connection. He shares his personal practice of making room for the “good stuff” by intentionally clearing out what no longer serves, from limiting thoughts to disorganized environments. It's a gentle but powerful reminder that healing and clarity often begin with space, both literal and spiritual. This episode invites listeners to slow down, tune in, and trust that by letting go, we can make room for what truly matters.

On this episode of Paige's Pod, I'm joined by Amanda Jeanne - an abstract painter, writer, mother, and retreat host based in Québec. Amanda's work explores the emotional landscapes of motherhood, grief, joy, and stillness Amanda shares how she paints to find freedom, to calm the anxious mind, to remind herself that beauty can be found in chaos and to find her place in this world.Her intuitive, atmospheric paintings are a soft invitation back to the self.We dive into Amanda's creative journey of returning to art after time away, how she designs soul-nourishing retreats, and what it means to hold space for slowness, rest, and inner listening in both painting and life.Whether you're a mother, artist, creative spirit, or someone simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this conversation is a gentle reminder that rest is productive, and creativity can be a place of healing.✨ Connect with Amanda:Website: www.amandajeanne.com Instagram: @amandajeanne.studio

Goldie Hawn is a Hollywood legend. And while she never set out to be a movie star, the Academy Award winning actress, producer and director has had a prolific career spanning more than five decades, with iconic roles in films like “Overboard”, “Private Benjamin” and “The First Wives Club”. And while Goldie is beloved for her work on-screen, she is also making an impact off-screen, with her charity MindUp, created with a mission to promote mental health and fitness for children, after facing her own struggles. Goldie sat down with Hoda Kotb to talk about her accidental rise to fame, her famous family and where she finds her purpose.

Saying no can feel uncomfortable, but when done with love and intention, it becomes one of the most powerful ways to honor your energy and create space for what truly matters. I know how hard it can be to say no—especially when you're someone who wants to show up, perform, and please. But here's the truth: when we say no to what drains us, we create space for joy, alignment, and our true selves to shine. In this episode, I'm sharing my own journey of learning to release guilt around saying no and how doing so made me feel lighter, freer, and more whole. Action Plan: - Honor your body's whispers: Fatigue and tension are signals, not glitches—listen and respond with care. - Let go of what no longer fits: Release outdated roles or expectations to make room for the real you. - Choose alignment over logic: A choice that feels right may not always make sense on paper—and that's okay. - Trust your inner signals: When joy fades or your breath shortens, it's time to reassess what you're saying yes to. - Set loving boundaries: Boundaries aren't barriers—they are invitations for peace and clarity.

Dive deep into the fascinating world of wildlife ponds with expert Ashley Dowling, who reveals that creating a thriving aquatic ecosystem involves far more than simply digging a hole and filling it with water. This episode uncovers the secrets to designing pond environments that genuinely support biodiversity through thoughtful construction and planting.Ashley shares her expertise on creating multi-layered pond structures that provide diverse habitats for different creatures. From deep areas that maintain stable temperatures to carefully crafted marginal zones that allow safe access for frogs and other wildlife, every aspect of the design plays a crucial ecological role. The conversation explores how different materials—stones, logs, and various substrates—create microhabitats that support a wealth of specialized insects and amphibians.The plant selection discussion is equally illuminating, highlighting native species like marsh marigold, water dock, and yellow flag iris that form the backbone of a healthy pond ecosystem. Ashley explains how these plants should be arranged to mimic natural patterns rather than conventional block planting, enabling them to form symbiotic relationships that enhance biodiversity.Beyond the pond itself, this episode examines how complementary habitats like beetle banks, stone piles, and simple DIY features can transform your entire garden into a wildlife haven. Ashley also demystifies pond maintenance, advocating for working with natural processes rather than fighting them with chemicals, and touches on sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) that can be incorporated into home gardens.Whether you have space for a barrel pond or are planning something more ambitious, this conversation will inspire you to think like a wildlife gardener and create connected ecosystems that welcome creatures of all kinds.

Sara Blakely is the founder of Spanx and opens up about believing in her products and trusting her gut. She created her revolutionary brand after identifying a problem in her wardrobe: what undergarments could she wear with white pants? Blakely's answer to that question started a shapewear revolution. She used the money she earned selling fax machines to launch her products, which soon started flying off the shelves of department stores and became a wardrobe staple for millions. She sold her majority stake in Spanx in 2021 after more than twenty years at the helm. Blakely opened up to Hoda on her journey to success, embracing failure, and trusting her intuition.
