Learning To Celebrate Others Without Self Judgement In this episode, I explore what really happens when you witness someone else's success and suddenly feel behind — even when you're genuinely happy for them. If comparison has ever left you questioning your own worth, your timing, or your progress, this conversation will help you return to truth and alignment. I also share a deeply personal story about being in a high-level mastermind and watching others hit massive milestones while I internally battled self-doubt and internal pressure. In this episode I explain how comparison activates the nervous system, disconnects you from your purpose, and shifts you into proving, pushing or shutting down. You'll learn how to reframe someone els'e success as evidence of possibility, how celebration becomes and energetic activator for abundance, and practical tools to stay rooted in your own divine path. This episode is for the woman who wants to feel grounded, confident, and connected to her own rhythm — no matter what others around her are achieving. We dive into: Why comparison is a normal yet misaligned response How nervous system triggers impact, self-worth and creativity How to redefine success and trust your own divine timing The energetic power of celebrating others Embodiment tools to stay rooted in your own path How to shift from 'why not me' to 'thank you for showing me what is possible' Your next level is created from Alignment not effort. The Alignment Intensive is where we begin this work. A 90-minute private session to realign your energy, clarify your next steps, and activate your next level leadership — with two weeks of Voxer support for integration.

We treat the holidays like they're a 10-week freefall — but the truth is, most of your meals, your moments, and your mindset are still in your control. In this episode, I'll show you how to stay in your power without swinging to extremes. You'll learn: The surprising "Holiday Math" that changes everything Why your inner narrative matters more than your plan How to use science-backed micro-moves to stay grounded Why movement, sleep, and sunlight aren't about discipline — they're about physiology The real reason people fall off during this season (hint: it's not willpower) Whether you're feeling chaotic, discouraged, or like you always lose ground at this time of year — this episode gives you a new way to stay engaged, without guilt or rigidity.
This is the time of year when most people hit pause on their goals. They drift. They defer. They tell themselves, "I'll get serious again in January." But what if this season — the one most people treat like an exception — could actually be your turning point? In this episode, I'm talking about what I call Separation Season — the window of time between now and the New Year when small daily choices stack up and create the gap between stuck and unstoppable. And spoiler alert: it's not about being perfect. It's about recommitting, over and over again, in small ways that move the needle. But that's not all…

I'm currently visiting family in Connecticut where I grew up. I was here until I went off to college and then I moved back for about a year before I moved west to go to graduate school.

My body remembers where and what I used to binge on, but I have no nervous system activation that tells me to do these food behaviors again.

I don't know about you, but I do a lot of my best thinking in the shower, in the car as I'm driving kids around, or doing pickups and drop-offs. I've got these little breaks between taking kids to different places, and that's actually where I do a lot of my coaching with my Advisory Board clients. We're talking back and forth on Voxer, they're dropping questions in my phone, and I'm responding back. Anyhow, I'm sharing because I was sitting in my car the other day thinking, and there are a few things that I have wanted to talk about with you here on the podcast in more of an off-the-cuff, unscripted way. I'm hearing from a lot of you who want to hear what's on my mind more casually right now. You like the interviews and solo episodes, but you also want to hear in real-time what I'm thinking about and what I'm working on with my clients. So one of the things I'm going to talk about today is the difference between going deep in something and going wide. Today's episode is brought to you by our Proof to Product resource library.

This week, I'm sharing a deeply honest conversation inspired by a Voxer message from one of my clients who realized that she no longer wants her current business to be her reality five years from now. If you've ever felt disconnected from your own work or unsure how to pivot, this episode is for you.I walk you through the first three steps to take when you realize it's time to make a shift—without throwing everything away or burning out. Whether you're staring down a total reinvention or a subtle shift, this episode will help you ground your pivot with clarity and direction.In this episode:How to determine if your pivot is a tweak or a total overhaulWhy understanding your income dependency is essential before making movesThe role of support and accountability when everything feels uncertainFind It Quickly02:11 - Welcome to Pivoting School 10104:28 - Step 1: Establishing the Nature of Your Pivot05:50 - Step 2: Assessing Income Dependency08:12 - Step 3: Seeking Support and Accountability10:00 - Client Success Story: From Weddings to Dog PhotographyMentioned in this EpisodeAccelerator CoachingMore ways to connect:JOY MICHELLE INSTAGRAMWORK WITH JOY AS YOUR COACHJOY MICHELLE CO.

Let's talk about the difference between information and transformation—because yesterday I got a front row seat to why this matters more than ever. On paper, my client had everything she needed: scripts, step-by-steps, video lessons, even Voxer access to me. But she still wasn't moving forward. Why? Because information lives outside of you. Transformation lives inside of you. And what she needed wasn't more modules—it was support, reassurance, real-time feedback, and the human layer that AI can't replace. If you've been wondering why your course or coaching feels “not enough” on its own, this is it. The future of online learning is less about piling on PDFs and more about creating space for actual transformation. DM me if this one hit a nerve, or share it with a friend who's rethinking their offers.

This episode is for anyone who's tired of working all the damn hours and ready to design a business that energizes rather than exhausts them.Key Topics CoveredThe Reality of Burnout and BreakdownWhy rest doesn't fix burnout - you have to change what burnt you out in the first placeThe difference between burnout and actual breakdown ("nervous breakdown")How thought patterns like "I need to prove myself" drive destructive behaviorsJo's recovery journey: traditional therapy, medication, and later embracing alternative therapies like Reiki and sound bathsThe Permission Slaps SystemJo's innovative approach to interrupting habitual behaviors:10 two-minute audio recordings for moments when you're about to break your own boundariesExamples: "Put the phone down now," "Take the day off," "You can sit and read your book"Creating neurological speed bumps (like moving the Instagram app on your phone)Why habits are like muscle memory - both physical and cognitiveBuilding Sustainable Business BoundariesJo's current structure:Working 4-6 hours per day maximumCall days only on Tuesdays and Thursdays (two calls max per day)Available to clients on Voxer only Tuesdays and ThursdaysNo calls before 10:30am or after 4pmFridays completely call-freeThe "Me First" MethodJo's framework for transformation:Beliefs: Identifying limiting thoughts like "If I want to earn more, I have to work more"Decisions: What choices are you making from those beliefs?Actions: How are you perpetuating the cycle through your daily behaviors?Challenging Common Business MythsWhy "if I'm not working really hard, I'm lazy" is capitalist conditioningThe false belief that difficulty equals valueHow to separate revenue from profit when evaluating "success"Why authenticity in marketing matters more than being "vanilla"Let's Connect!Come say hi in my Instagram DMs @mills_gray.

One of the biggest surprises of midlife is how friendships shift—and how lonely it can sometimes feel. If your circle feels smaller than you expected, you're not the only one. In this episode, Shelly shares encouragement and three simple ways to start building connection again. Because loneliness isn't your identity—it's just a signal that your soul is ready for connection.Key Takeaways:
Do you struggle with the idea of selling your products? I am hearing from a lot of creative entrepreneurs who are telling me that they feel uncomfortable with in-person sales. They're worried about how they'll be perceived. They don't want to be seen as pushy or overbearing by their customers. I'm hearing this with online sales too, but it's particularly heightened right now with in-person sales because we have a lot of people who have been doing summer craft shows and also in-person trade shows on the wholesale side of things. I wanted to bring today's guest on to talk about sales in person and how you can push through some of these feelings of discomfort and show people what you've got and why they need to buy it. Today's guest is Karen Sawyer-Meehan, Pier Six Press, which is a stationery and gift brand known for its bold design, vibrant colors, and high-quality craftsmanship. Now, Karen is one of my Advisory Board members. Advisory Board is my private mastermind, and this is a topic that she and I were chatting about privately on our Voxer chat, which is where folks talk to me one-on-one. We were talking about how this would make a great podcast episode and how Karen had a lot of great insights to share with you all. During this episode, Karen shares her journey from art school and retail sales, building a brand that stands out, to embracing empathy, bold colors, and authenticity, and the handmade artistry behind her brand. She shares her real, honest take on ethical selling, why genuine connections matter more than ever in retail, and how learning to trust your own unique artistic voice, and how that has transformed both her business and her confidence. If you have been struggling with feeling salesy, finding your creative style, or wondering how to connect your values with the products that you're selling, this episode is for you.

“She's so strong.” That's what people say when a woman holds it all together on the outside but what happens when she's quietly suffering inside? In this episode, Heather sits down with entrepreneur and mother Lily Walla, the founder + CEO of Auggie, for a conversation about the stories women often don't tell—the health scares, the quiet fears, the identity crises, and the hidden rage that shapes how we show up as mothers, leaders, and humans. Lily shares how a life-threatening tumor reshaped her sense of self, why she built a parenting community rooted in honesty, and how she's learning to surrender in seasons of uncertainty. In this episode, we talk about:

What if the offer your clients are waiting for isn't the one you think you're supposed to create? This week on ReWild Your Business, I'm calling out the way we've all been conditioned to package up what we do in neat, acceptable formats - six months, twelve weeks, weekly calls, a Voxer thread on the side. All fine. All normal. But normal isn't necessarily powerful. The truth? Your best offer isn't normal. It's not templated. It's not something you cobbled together because that's what everyone else seems to be selling. Your best offer is born from knowing your people so deeply that you can see through the noise and get to the heart of what they truly want and need. It's the offer that makes them feel seen, supported, and transformed - not just the offer that makes you look like you've got your sh*t together. And here's the kicker: it doesn't need to be more complicated, it needs to be more true. In this episode, we dive into: Why “standard” offers can actually limit your clients' results How to strip back the noise and design an offer that's fit for your energy and their transformation What it takes to build something that feels bold, fresh, and undeniable, without burning yourself out The permission slip you've been waiting for to create the offer only you could bring into the world This is about nuance, energy, and fit, not about adding more bells and whistles. Because the most powerful offer you'll ever create won't be normal. It'll be yours. THIS WEEK'S JOURNALING PROMPTS 1. If I stripped away what's normal in my industry, what would my clients actually want and need from me? 2. What makes me feel most energized and most able to show up at my best, and how can I design an offer around that? 3. What is one nuance that I could add or shift in my offer that would make the client experience more powerful than they ever imagined?

Fear isn't a life sentence—it's a learned pattern. In this powerful solo episode, Penny Chiasson pulls back the curtain on the illusion that fear is a necessary motivator. Drawing from her own experience and a recent breakthrough conversation with a Voxer client, Penny walks you through why most fear isn't real and how to train your brain to thrive in the unfamiliar instead of defaulting to survival mode. Here's what you'll learn: Why the belief that “you'll always live with fear” is keeping you stuck How your brain wires fear through stories, not reality Why pushing through fear might actually reinforce it instead of dissolving it How to reframe discomfort as possibility and not threat The mindset shift that turns unfamiliarity into your new playground A daily habit that breaks the fear-success cycle Why your biggest gift might feel “too easy” to you (and why that's exactly the point) What it really means to be a lightworker in this season of humanity And how 5% of us tuning into love—just for a moment—can shift the collective This episode blends subconscious insight, neuroscience, and soul-level truth to help you break free from fear-based loops and step into the life you're here to lead. If you're tired of pushing and ready to feel safe creating from your full potential—this is for you.

In this powerful conversation, MacKenzie shares how she went from frustrated parent to education innovator, creating Alpha School and the 2H Learning model that's transforming how kids learn across North America.

You know that sinking feeling when your client comes back having done literally nothing you coached them on? They said they wanted transformation, even paid for it, but somehow, between your session and their life, everything falls apart. The brutal truth: 90% of coaches are only speaking to 10% of their client's brain, while the unconscious mind quietly sabotages every strategy you give them. In this episode, I'm revealing the four critical mistakes that kill your coaching results and the ONE thing that changes everything. Spoiler alert: Stop coaching the goal and start coaching the resistance. Plus: I'm sharing details about my exclusive workshop "Why Your Coaching Isn't Selling" on July 29th, and how new Best Damn Coach members get 60 days of Voxer support to practice these techniques with real-time guidance. Ready to stop watching clients stay stuck? This episode will transform how you approach every coaching session.
If you've been telling yourself you're stuck, overwhelmed, or waiting for clarity… this one's for you. In this episode, Heather unpacks the illusion of "stuckness" and how it's often a sign of avoidance, not incapacity. Drawing parallels between human emotion and the laws of nature, she explains why resistance to discomfort is the very thing holding us back from growth and how we can reclaim our energy by leaning into contrast, not running from it. In this episode, you'll hear:
