Community • Lesson • Creativity

There are some people in the world that have a magical ability to see a gap in the world and fill it with just the right thing. That’s what today’s guest, Joanna Waterfall, did when she founded Yellow Co - an organization birthed from an idea that struck her one day while she was in the shower. Joanna believes that creativity, business, community and social impact should all go hand in hand. So she decided to create a platform and community that brought all of those things together. She’s here to share her personal story of separating her worth and value as a human being from her professional achievements, which she did the hard way!

Joanna and her work have been featured in publications such as Forbes, The Huffington Post, Darling Magazine, The Good Trade, LA Lady Magazine, Bossladies Magazine, and more. She’s motivated by the belief that women can change the world through stepping out of fear and into who they were created to be - and, well, that’s exactly what we talk about here so Joanna, at the brave files.

Connect with Joanna on Instagram and find Yellow.com on Instagram and their website.

Episode Takeaways:

• We have who we truly are and then a personality that’s created by the work we do. There’s room to surprise ourselves.
• Self-discovery is a constant journey.
• In order to grow her company, YellowCo, Joanna launched a Kickstarter and didn’t meet her goal

Awareness • Ownership • Detachment

Do you feel like having all the answers and knowing exactly what’s coming next is the only way to feel safe? Yeah - So did this week’s guest but eventually, after much burnout, Jessica Eley realized that the “smart” way wasn’t always the best way for her! In this conversation, we dive deep into "normal" .. .What the is normal anyway? It’s totally subjective and depends on the context. Jessica discovered that curiosity was her savior.

Get curious, figure out where you need and want to be at any given moment, and then live into it. Let go of right and wrong through patterns and so much more. join us as we explore Jessica's journey, her triumphs, and how she found her own path. It's all about embracing who you are and finding your own version of success. Let's get into it!

Episode Takeaways:

• Often gifted kids have just learned to perform really well.
• Jessica felt like she always needed to know what comes next in order to feel safe.
• “Normal” is fully subjective and contextual.
• Burnout was a result of, finally, facing things I had previously ignored or thought were “normal” but later realized they weren’t.
• Stop doing it the “smart way” if that doesn’t freaking work for you.
• Curiosity saved Jessica
• Although you may not be getting some paramagatic from the “smart” or “right” way - but you’re getting something from it.
• Take account of where you are right now, in this moment, and what you want and need to be your best self.
• So much of Jessica's success is knowing the difference between the thoughts she receives and the things she’s “supposed” to think.
• Celebration: Jessica loves lowkey celebration in the form of integration.
• Charity: Charity Water, Trees for the Future

WISDOM • BALANCE • PEACEJana Wilson is an emotional healing educator, meditation teacher, retreat leader, hypnotherapist, HeartMath Facilitator, and founder of the Emotional Healing System. She’s trained with best-selling author and physician, Deepak Chopra MD and NY Times best-selling author, Debbie Ford.

Jana lives off-grid in the foothills of the Sangre de Christo mountain range in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A victim of childhood abuse and trauma, Jana could have wound up another statistic. Yet, at age twelve, she had a mystical experience that catapulted her on a life-long journey of learning to listen and love herself. In her breakout prescriptive memoir, Wise Little One, we follow Jana as she develops a connection to her inner child. Through this connection, Jana cultivates an unshakable faith in Self and Spirit, taking full responsibility for her soul’s journey.

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS:

• Memory without emotional charge is wisdom.
• Jana calls life “Earth School.”
• Life is always happening for us, never to us.
• At 12 years old Jana was pulled out of her body and told that she would overcome all of the obstacles presented on Earth on this timeline.
• Jana believes we all operate at a different “soul age”
• Her developmental trauma began in the womb.
• Learning impermanence was a true gift.
• The gift of the dark is that it pushes us to the light.
• Deciding to have a child out of wedlock at 22 and be a single mom was her bravest moment.
• Spirit is connecting with nature, connecting with self. It is almost like a seduction.
• Breaking the generational patterns of her childhood was challenging as she raised her own child.
• Shadow work was a massive game-changer. She credits Debbie Ford's work for this.
• The practice of meditation can often feel turbulent and not peaceful. It’s the aftereffects where you really see the benefits.
• HeartMath is intelligent energy management techniques.
• Our breath is the one thing we can control in our body.
