Today marks the six month mark of Jump Start Your Joy, AND it also marks my jump into being a full time entrepreneur as a life coach and podcaster. To celebrate all of the amazingness that is going on this week, today’s show pays a bit of tribute to the things I’ve learned along the way. The topic of Joy has been fascinating, and I love speaking with each guest about how they have chosen to follow joy. It’s a true honor and privilege to get to do this each week.
Today I talk about:
– my original vision for the show, and how it all started with a list of interviewee names
– how Improv has played a part in my journey
– what I believe to be true about Joy and your ability to access it in your life
– behind the scenes of the TRex Tuesdays episode
– my thoughts as a brand new entrepreneur
– how the hero’s journey plays into this podcast
– March guests are revealed!
And, now, for the giveaway. To celebrate, I’m giving away one copy of each of the following books, each to a separate person.
The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
The Declaration of You by Michelle Ward and Jessica Swift

March 3, 2016 at 8:27 pmWow. What a long journey you’ve had with this series. Some people give up after a short period of time.
I have to agree with you on the importance of Improv. With it, you can just keep the flow going. Sometimes you can plan ahead, but it’s always so much more natural when you do so.
