Season One Finale of The Joy Journey Podcast

Today marks one full year of The Joy Journey.

One year of courageous conversations.

A year of truth, sobriety stories, business pivots, parenting realities, hormone fluctuations, grief, healing, reinvention, and leadership evolution.

And in the spirit of Joy Leadership, we intentionally close Season One.

Because if this year has reinforced one thing, it’s this:

Joy isn’t a feeling. It’s a leadership strategy.

What if you ditched the "shoulds" and let your true sparkle lead the way? 

In this episode, Ashley Dawn, founder of Sparkle Entrepreneur Network, shares her journey from small-town expectations to radical authenticity, quitting grad school, ending a long engagement, and launching intimate events that help women reclaim confidence. 

What if perimenopause could be a pathway to more energy, clarity, and joy? 

This week on The Joy Journey Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Bunzenmeyer, a Naturopathic Doctor, who turned her own perimenopause wake-up call into a powerful method. We unpack confusing symptoms, the science behind belly fat and insulin resistance, and the four pillars that help women regain energy, clarity, and Joy.

This week on The Joy Journey Podcast, we’re bringing you fabulous money & business coach, Paula Onysko. Together, we peel back the stories that have kept us small. Exploring how slow rebuilding, fierce boundaries, and a tuned-in relationship to vibrancy can unexpectedly open the doors to abundance.

Join us as we talk about the archetypes that shape our earning, the subtle alchemy between flow and structure, and the legacy that arises when joy becomes our currency.

As this year comes to a close, I wanted to offer you something different.

This is not a quick recap or a “top 10 lessons” episode.
Not a push into goal or intention setting. 

This is a pause and a gentle landing back home in your heart.

This short Christmas meditation and prayer is an invitation to pause, breathe, and come home to your heart before the busyness begins.

There’s nothing you need to do. 

Just a few quiet moments to soften your body, steady your nervous system, and overflow peace to yourself and the world. No big deal! 

What if you could truly see yourself? Not just as you think you are but as the radiant, magnetic, deeply photogenic being you TRULY are…

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by my dear friend and incredible Portrait + Branding Photographer, Emilie Iggiotti for a heart-led, laughter-filled conversation that flows from manifesting dream lives and self-care… to guilty-pleasure reality TV and an honest, much-needed conversation about Photoshop, AI, and what authentic visibility really means.

What if your financial journey could be a source of profound joy and empowerment, rather than shame or stress? 

Join me as I share a conversation with Jenn Wolowich where we candidly explore the emotional landscape of money, from childhood games of Monopoly and "playing bank" to navigating divorce and finding abundance after unexpected loss. Find out why "money is a muscle," how breaking the silence around financial shame can heal generations, and the transformative power of "just starting”.

What if you could transform your holiday season from a source of stress and obligation into a space of authentic Joy and peace?

Dive into the latest episode of The Joy Journey Podcast, where I share The Joy Method – a practical guide to truly feel your feelings, intentionally shift your mindset, and gracefully protect your energy during this often-overwhelming time. You are invited to practice gratitude for what is present, set firm boundaries to protect your energy, and prioritize your own well-being. Allow grief and joy to coexist as you create a holiday season that feels truly aligned and YOU…

Ever catch yourself feeling stuck, anxious, or just kind of flat? What if the quickest way to shift your energy and call in more of what you want is already right here, within you?

In this episode of The Joy Journey Podcast, we’re exploring the real power of gratitude. Not the buzzword kind, the embodied, science-backed, Joy Method kind that helps you move from meh to magnetic.

Ever notice how draining the old models of leadership can be?

The pushing, the forcing, the hustle… it’s no wonder so many leaders are running on empty.

In this episode, we’re flipping that script. We’ll explore Joy Leadership as a fresh, soul-aligned way of leading from the inside out. It’s about overflow, not depletion. Realness, not perfection. Alignment, not exhaustion.

Feeling ungrounded by hormonal chaos?
