  • We know the only way to get to the other side of grief is through it. How we get there is up to us; it can be talking things out or through speaking's old relative: writing. 

    In this episode, Lisa Braxton, a communications manager, memoirist, and award-winning author, joins us to discuss the healing power of writing as a coping mechanism for grief and loss. She authored the multi-award-winning book, "The Talking Drum," and a memoir; her latest creation, "Dancing Between The Raindrops,” a powerful meditation on grief that helped her cope with the death of her parents, who passed within two years of each other.

  • Does this have to be done? Yes. Can I do it? Yes. Do I want to do it? No. Many entrepreneurs struggle with this more often than they'd like to admit, and most of them roll up their sleeves and get things done, hating every minute of it. The world would be different if there were a solution for this, wouldn't it? Oh wait, there is. 


    In this episode, Jenna Spencer joins us to talk about the multiple benefits and solutions incorporating a Virtual Assistant can bring to our business. Jenna is the Founder of AssistPro®, a virtual assistant company that brings tailored solutions for busy professionals, executives, business coaches, and solopreneurs, granting them top-notch operational and administrative support. Despite her ascension in the corporate ladder, Jenna didn't feel fulfilled, so she decided to start her own thing. Fast forward almost ten years, AssistPro is a reference and leader in the segment. 


    Throughout our conversation, Jenna talks about her experiences in the corporate world, what made her decide to start her own business, and how it was to grow a business when VAs weren't a thing yet. She explains both sides of the VA world, how to connect with the right one, and how to start working as one. You'll also hear her thoughts on detaching our emotions from the tasks we don't want to do as entrepreneurs, the importance of setting clear expectations, and why we must embrace delegating.


    Additionally, we discuss AI proper use, fractional work, VA pricing, what the future looks like for remote jobs, and much more.

  • We've learned that everything we want is out of our comfort zone, yet no one teaches us how to survive in the discomfort zone. Still, if we dig deep, there's nothing comfortable about the comfort zone; there is no comfort in unrealized dreams, in not being ourselves. The comfort zone is actually a lie; it is the known zone. 


    Either way, there's only one exit, and it requires a change in our belief system, which our guest, Janine Durso, happens to know a lot about. 


    In this episode, the inspiring Janine Durso invites us to shred limiting beliefs, reveal our true selves, and, through that discovery, promote personal growth and connect with a deep sense of realization and fulfillment. Janine is the Beliefologist, a Life Coach on a mission to help others bust their limiting beliefs and live their lives to the fullest. After years of a highly successful yet exhausting career in corporate, a statement from her cardiologist put Janine's life upside down: "You'll have a stroke if you don't slow down, not 5 years from now, no next year, now. Go back to your house and change your life immediately." 


    Throughout our conversation, Janine talks about her transformation after that consultation with her cardiologist and the importance of creating a healthy work-life balance. You'll also hear about her discoveries on limiting beliefs and why it is so hard to get rid of them, how she dealt (and still deals) with her own, and her advice on going from reactive to creative mode. 


    Additionally, Janine talks about why she became a beliefologist, the origin of the name, the four steps of the Beliefology Method, and much more.


    Tune in to Episode 138 of the Joy Found Here and learn more about Janine's formula to bust the limiting beliefs between you and who you were born to be. 


    In This Episode, You Will Learn:

    About Janine's background and transformation (4:30)What are you waiting for? (9:00)About the stories we have in our heads and need to unpack to set ourselves free (15:20)The four steps of the Beliefology Method (30:36)Everything you want is out of your comfort zone (37:25)

  • One of the scarier things about growing up and making profound changes is the mess we must deal with as soon as we put one foot out of our comfort zone. We know we need the change, and it'll be good for us, yet unconsciously (and maybe innocently), we think changing will make things easier, all butterflies, rainbows, and flowers' scent. 


    Accepting that growth is messy and uncomfortable is foundational for any change we want to produce. 


    In this episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by the inspiring Jenna Allen to talk about the intimate relationship between profound life changes and mindset. Jenna is a Certified Life Coach specializing in mindset, boundaries, self-awareness, and self-care. After spending almost her entire life "trying to fit in," Jenna drew herself to a labyrinth of alcohol abuse, lack of self-care, codependency, and abusive relationships in which she stayed trapped for years. With proper support, the courage to face the mess of change, and the resilience to endure growth's discomfort, Jenna got her stuff together and retook the reins of her life. 


    Throughout this episode, Jenna shares her journey into self-development and coaching, the traumatic past that left deep wounds she is still working to heal, and how she got out of her "rock bottom." We also talk about why creating healthy boundaries is crucial for mental health, the messiness of growth, and the challenging task of working on self-awareness.

    Additionally, Jenna shares her thoughts on mindset changes, her favorite mindset improvement techniques, manifestation, and much more.


    Tune in to Episode 137 of the Joy Found Here and prepare yourself to make the changes you know you need in your life yet feel a bit scared to make. 


    In This Episode, You Will Learn:

    Jenna shares her rock bottom story (2:30)Realistically, growth is messy (8:00)Why we can't see the problem when "we are in the middle of it" (12:20)Be impeccable with your words (16:20)The transformational power of putting pen to paper (22:30)Jenna talks about manifestation (25:50)Although we don't talk about it, we are the creators of our mindset (33:20)
