010: On the vulnerability of joy

the vulnerability of joy

 

On Valentine’s Day, I recognized something: my ability to feel joy has increased. In this episode I talk about what triggered this realization and elaborate on how vulnerable joy can be and how we can increase our tolerance for joy. Because let’s face it, being really really happy can also be really really scary.

005: Keep things for yourself

6 things to keep to yourself

In this era of sharing everything with everyone, it’s important to remember to keep things for yourself.  In this episode, I describe six things that I have been over giving to other people, and how I’m practicing now keeping them for myself.

What are some things you do a good job of keeping for yourself?  What do you wish you kept more of to yourself?  I’d love to hear from you on Instagram or by email at joanna@joanna-platt.com.

One thing I would encourage you to share is this podcast 🙂  After taking time to keep this episode for yourself and think about what this topic means for you, share it with a friend or family member who you think it would resonate with.

004: Where passion and career meet with Rachel East

how to combine your passion with your career

 

I’m SO excited about this episode, my first interview episode on Love Always, Jo.

Today’s guest is Rachel East, one of my very dear friends and fellow coaches. I met Rachel and her best friend and business partner Kristen in coach training in 2012 and have had a front row seat as they’ve grown their business, Clarity on Fire.

In this episode of Love Always, Jo, Rachel and I talk about where passion and careers meet (or don’t). The pain we can feel when we’re searching to connect the two (I refer to my experience as a spiritual heart attack). Rachel outlines the four passion profiles that describe how different types of people prefer to align their passion and their careers. At the very end we talk about which passion profile mine is.

This episode is perfect for anyone who is struggling to figure out what they want to do with their life, feel fulfilled with their work, or find their passion.
