    Jane Johnson: Helping Parents & Their Teens To Thrive

    What can you do when you're parenting a teen who is pulling away? In this deeply moving episode, I'm joined by Jane Johnson, founder of Bright Futures Coaching, a mindset and confidence coach who works with parents and teenagers to rebuild connection and confidence during some of the most challenging years of family life. Jane helps families move from frustration and disconnection to calm, communication, and genuine understanding. What strikes me most about Jane is her warmth, her honesty, and her deep conviction that connection must come before correction. She doesn't try to "fix" teenagers or families... she helps them rediscover trust, hope, and each other. She talks openly about the signs she wishes she'd understood, the pressures teenagers face today, and why so many parents feel helpless when trying to reach their teens.  In this episode, we explore: • Connection before correction, the principle at the heart of Jane's work with families and why trust must come first • The hidden pressures teenagers face today, from social media comparison to exam anxiety and feeling misunderstood • What parents get wrong about communication, and simple shifts that rebuild trust instead of creating tension • The transformation from surviving to thriving, what it looks like when families begin to truly understand each other This episode is for parents who feel disconnected from their teenager and don't know how to bridge the gap. It's for anyone working with young people who wants to understand what's really going on beneath the surface. And it's for those who believe that even the deepest pain can become something meaningful.

    Meg Calvin: The Sacred Permission to Trust Your Own Desires

    What happens when the woman who spent two decades guiding others through spiritual formation has to dismantle everything she thought she knew about God, her body, and her own desires? In this deeply moving conversation, I'm joined by Meg Calvin, Amazon bestselling author and guide who stewards healing spaces for women awakening to their body's wisdom after years of religious conditioning.  A former minister with over 20 years in emotional health and spiritual formation, Meg now uses fiction as a healing modality to help women who are cautiously emerging from spiritual control, ready to make pleasure and sensuality a priority, and hungry to incorporate metaphysical modalities while still honoring their sacred roots. Meg shares her profound journey from being deeply embedded in evangelical ministry to experiencing what she calls "the great undoing," a complete unraveling of her faith that began in 2020.  Through her own healing journey, she discovered that fiction became the bridge that allowed her nervous system to explore new ideas without triggering the alarm bells that direct teaching would set off. Now she guides other women through this tender process of spiritual integration, helping them trust that their desires, intuitive gifts, and pleasure are not selfish but sacred invitations from the Divine.  In this episode, we explore: • Fiction as a healing modality, why stories can slip past our defenses and create safety for the nervous system to explore ideas that feel threatening when presented directly • Pleasure as permission, the radical act of allowing yourself to feel good, experience sensuality, and trust your desires after being taught they were dangerous • Melding the ministerial with the metaphysical, honoring your sacred roots while opening to new spiritual practices like tarot, astrology, and energy work This episode is for women who are cautiously emerging from high-control religious environments, who feel that stirring inside telling them there's more to spirituality than what they were taught, and who are ready to trust themselves as their own spiritual authority, even when it feels terrifying.

    Alyssa Wolff: Time Freedom for Entrepreneur Mums

    What if the key to growing your business isn't doing more, but doing dramatically less? In this episode, I'm joined by Alyssa Wolff, Time Back Consultant and founder of Your Unbusy Life. Alyssa helps entrepreneur mums reclaim their time and build businesses that actually fit around their lives, not the other way around. She's a master at helping women cut through the noise of endless to-do lists and get back to what truly matters, both in business and in life. Alyssa's journey into this work began in an unexpected way. After her fifth child turned six months old, she found herself with something she hadn't experienced in years: free time. That moment of spaciousness sparked a realisation that would become her life's work.  She'd spent years learning how to run a household, manage chaos, and still create room for herself, and she knew other women were desperately searching for that same freedom. What started as a curiosity turned into a thriving consulting business that she's now run for over five years, through every season of motherhood. Her approach isn't about cramming more into your day. It's about ruthless prioritisation, understanding that everything has a cost, and making intentional choices about where your energy goes.  She talks about treating your business like a job you clock in and out of, and the radical permission that comes from deciding that some things simply won't get done. In this episode, we explore: • The "life-first" philosophy, why building your business around your actual life creates more success than forcing your life to fit your business • Ruthless prioritisation, how to identify what truly moves the needle and let go of the rest without guilt • The cost of every commitment, understanding that every "yes" has a price and learning to make those trades consciously • Seasons of business and life, why some seasons are for growth and others are for holding steady, and how to honor both This episode is for you if you're an entrepreneur, especially a mum, who feels like you're constantly running on empty. If you've been told to hustle harder but something inside you knows there has to be another way, Alyssa's wisdom will feel like a breath of fresh air.

    Julia Weigert: When Sacred Sites Activate Your Cellular Memory

    What if the land itself is waiting to activate something ancient within you? In this episode, I'm joined by Julia Weigert, a Sacred Site Oracle, Sacred Travel Facilitator, and Magdalene Rose Priestess based in Switzerland. Julia supports women in reconnecting with their innate healing intelligence and embodied knowing through sacred site journeys, Cell Memory Activation, and Magdalene Healing Codes. Julia's path began in the wellness industry, but a life-altering experience in Egypt cracked her open to something far deeper. Receiving a powerful download at a sacred site, she discovered that the places we visit aren't just locations... they're living portals that speak to us, activate us, and remember us. What started as personal healing became her calling to guide other women through these initiatory journeys, bridging ancient feminine lineages with modern life. In this episode, we explore: • The body as living technology, and how our cells hold memories waiting to be activated through connection with sacred land • The Magdalene lineage and healing codes, working with this ancient feminine wisdom to restore wholeness and coherent power • How sacred travel differs from spiritual tourism, approaching these journeys as initiations rather than experiences to collect • Anchoring these activations into daily life, bringing the remembrance home and letting it transform how we lead and live This episode is for you if you've ever felt called to sacred places, if you sense there's wisdom your body already knows, or if you're curious about what it means to walk the Earth as a steward of feminine remembrance.

    Katherine Robinette: Your People Aren't Broken, Your System Is

    What if your workplace frustrations aren't about the people, they're about the system? I'm joined by Katherine Robinette, President and Owner of Keystone and Raven, a speaker, consultant, and trainer who helps leaders transform their workplaces into environments people actually want to be part of. Katherine works with organisations to diagnose what's really going wrong and create sustainable change without burning everything down. Katherine spent years watching brilliant people leave jobs they loved, not because of the work itself, but because the systems around them made everything harder than it needed to be.  She noticed a pattern, leaders blaming individuals for problems that were actually structural, teams struggling under processes that served no one.  Her mission became clear… help organisations see that when good people are struggling, the answer isn't to fix the people, it's to fix the system holding them back. 💡 In this episode we explore: • The system versus people myth, why your team members aren't broken and how to identify what's actually causing friction • Sustainable change without destruction, Katherine's approach to transformation that doesn't require starting from scratch • What makes work feel like work, the hidden dynamics that drain energy and engagement from even the most passionate employees • Leadership's role in culture shift, how to create environments where people genuinely want to show up and contribute This episode is for leaders, managers, and anyone who's ever felt like something's wrong at work but couldn't quite name it. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on workplace challenges and permission to stop blaming yourself or your team for systemic failures.

    Ann Ruane: The Art of Spiritual Midwifery and Why Your Body Knows Before Your Mind Does

    What if your body has already started to heal, and it's only your mind that hasn't caught up yet? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Ann Ruane, Soul Practitioner, Intuitive Energy Healer, and Spiritual Midwife at Lux Eterna Healing. With 15 years of experience, Ann works with people who feel an inner stirring they can't quite name, those who sense that something is shifting, but don't yet have words for what it is or where it's taking them. Ann describes her work as spiritual midwifery, and I love that phrase. She walks alongside people as they navigate the spiritual and emotional thresholds of life, through Reiki, intuitive energy healing, crystal healing, and deep attunement to the messages held within the body. Because as she so beautifully says, our minds and our bodies often speak different languages, and most of us were never taught to translate. What struck me most in this conversation is how much permission Ann offers. Permission to not know. Permission to feel deeply without shame. Permission for the process to be messy and cyclical and real 😌. She shares her own journey, from teaching piano to healing others full-time, through a divorce, through the quiet shower revelation that gave her the words she'd been searching for. And how simply naming herself a spiritual midwife, just weeks before we recorded this, had already begun to shift the energy of her work and the clients finding their way to her. If you've ever been told you're too sensitive, too complicated, or too much, this conversation is for you. Ann holds space for the deeply feeling, deeply perceiving humans who are ready to stop living by everyone else's definitions and come home to themselves 😊. In this episode, we explore: ➤ What spiritual midwifery actually means, and why the art of seeing the self is one of the most profound forms of healing available right now ➤ Why your body is the wisest guide you have, and what happens when you finally learn to listen to it rather than override it ➤ The six pillars of spiritual midwifery, from witnessing without judgement to empowered emergence and the sovereignty of living a life that is truly yours ➤ How to recognise when you're ready for this kind of work, even when you don't have the language for what you're feeling This episode is for anyone who knows, deep down, that something is ready to shift, even if they can't yet say what it is or where it's going. If you've been quietly carrying the sense that there's more for you, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

    Susie Powis: Rebuilding Your Career Identity After Becoming a Parent

    Have you ever felt like you're starting from zero after becoming a parent, even though you spent years building your career? In this episode, I'm joined by Susie Powis, a career transition coach who supports women, particularly parents, through some of the most challenging professional moments of their lives, whether they're returning to work, navigating a career change, or ready to accelerate again after putting their ambitions on hold. Susie spent 20 years in senior corporate roles before stepping into coaching, and her work is deeply personal. She's doing the work she wished she'd had when she was returning after maternity leave, and she's also partnering with businesses to support working parents through these transitions, because that's where retention and confidence are really won or lost. What struck me most in this conversation was Susie's honesty about the identity shift that happens when you become a parent, and how rarely we talk about it. We dive into why so many women struggle with confidence when they return to work, even when they were thriving before, and what it actually takes to rebuild that sense of self. In this episode, we explore: • The identity crisis of returning to work, and why so many women feel like they've lost themselves somewhere between maternity leave and the office door • The confidence gap after parenthood, and why it has nothing to do with your actual skills or capabilities • Creating boundaries that actually stick, and the mindset shifts required to protect your energy while building a career you love • Why businesses need to do better, and how Susie is working with organisations to support working parents at the structural level This episode is for you if you're a parent navigating a career transition, if you've ever felt invisible at work after returning from leave, or if you're wondering whether it's possible to have ambition and presence in both your professional and personal life.  Connect with Susie Powis Website: hihocoaching.co.uk Facebook: Hi Ho Coaching Instagram: @hi.ho.coaching TikTok: @hi.ho.coaching LinkedIn: Susie Powis Connect with Joanna Ingram Website: joannaingram.com Instagram: @iamjo.ingram Messaging Impact Audit:  Get a personalised review of your messaging using my six-pillar framework, where I show you where the gaps are and reveal the exact opportunities to attract more premium, soul-aligned clients, and be recognised at your next level of thought-leadership.

    Kristen Renee Appleby: Rebuilding for Physical and Financial Wellbeing

    What if the greatest breakdown of your life was actually the blueprint for your biggest breakthrough? I'm joined by Kristen Renee Appleby, Author and Guide, who helps people rebuild foundations for physical and financial wellbeing after life has knocked them down. Through her own healing journeys and extensive corporate leadership background, Kristen guides others to step into their fullest potential and create meaningful shifts in their daily lives. Kristen's story begins with what she calls her "quarter-life crisis", a moment when everything fell apart and she found herself asking the big questions about purpose and meaning. What started as personal devastation became the catalyst for discovering her calling as a lighthouse for others. Through her own physical and financial healing journeys, she developed a framework that combines practical wisdom with spiritual depth, helping people not just survive their challenges but transform through them. We explore: • The lighthouse metaphor, how Kristen discovered her purpose was to be a beacon for others navigating their own storms • Rebuilding from the ground up, why creating a solid foundation for physical and financial wellbeing matters before anything else • The corporate-to-catalyst journey, how her leadership background shapes her unique approach to transformation • Stepping into fullest potential, what it actually looks like to move from surviving to thriving This episode is for you if you've been through a season of breakdown and you're ready to understand how it can become your breakthrough. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on using your own healing journey as the foundation for helping others.
