    Episode Forty Four: Green Goo with Jodi Scott

    Listen in to this Creative Healing Podcast episode for a conversation on the evolution of a family owned company, built on dreams and sustainability. Jodi Scott, founder of Green Goo, is an entrepreneur, herbalist, and longtime student of the mind–body–skin connection. Her work was born not from a business plan, but from a personal journey of healing, listening, and learning to trust the body's innate wisdom. Through years of navigating her own wellness path, motherhood, and leadership, Jodi came to understand skin not as something to "fix," but as a living expression of what's happening within. Her path has been shaped by nature, movement, presence, and the belief that healing happens when we slow down enough to pay attention. Whether through walking, ritual, or daily self-care, Jodi sees wellness as a relationship, one that integrates mind, body, and the stories we carry. Today, her work centers on helping people reconnect with their bodies, cultivate resilience, and approach skin care as an act of awareness rather than correction. We touch on these topics and more. Be ready to walk away with something meaningful to bring into your life today. Connect with Jodi here: https://www.greengoo.com

    In this episode, we're diving into integrative wellness and a model of care that is changing the way people approach healing.

    Episode Forty Two: Healing Through Photography with Sara Lindström

    In this episode, I sit down with a travel and adventure photographer whose life has been guided by curiosity, courage, and a deep trust in following her heart. From growing up on a farm near the Arctic Circle in Sweden to traveling through more than sixty countries across six continents, photography became more than a career for her — it became a way of seeing the world, and herself, differently. What started as wanderlust and a love for adventure slowly became something more meaningful. Through heartbreak, uncertainty, and major life decisions, the camera became a tool not just for capturing beauty, but for healing, perspective, and transformation. In our conversation, we talk about how photography can help us slow down, notice the world again, reconnect with ourselves, and sometimes even find our way when we feel lost. She now lives in Arctic Sweden, where she leads photography workshops, retreats, and guided adventures, helping others gain confidence behind their cameras while also reconnecting with nature, creativity, and their own inner compass. This episode is about more than photography. It's about listening to the pull inside of you, trusting the path that doesn't always make sense, and allowing creativity to become a doorway back to yourself.

    Episode Forty One: Transformational Travel with Jake Haupert

    1What if travel wasn't just about seeing new places—but about becoming a new version of yourself? In this episode, I sit down with transformational travel pioneer Jake Haupert, Founder of the Transformational Travel Council, to explore how intentional journeys—especially long-distance walking pilgrimages like the Camino de Santiago—can create profound personal growth. Jake defines transformational travel and talks about his personal story of how he moved from traditional tourism into creating experiences designed to help people reconnect with themselves, their purpose, and each other. We talk about the power of slowing down, walking in community, and why stepping away from everyday life can unlock clarity, healing, and inspiration. Jake Haupert is a pioneer in transformational travel and the co-founder of the Transformational Travel Council. He works at the intersection of travel, personal growth, and regenerative tourism, helping destinations, hospitality brands, and experience designers create journeys that inspire healing, reflection, and meaningful change. Through retreats, immersive experiences, and guided programs, Jake explores how travel can become a catalyst for deeper self-awareness, connection, and purpose. A speaker, strategist, and advisor to global travel leaders, he blends living systems thinking with practical experience design to help people and organizations move beyond transactions and into transformation. He is a member of the Explorers Club and the International Society of Hospitality Consultants.

    In this week's episode, part of our ongoing Power of Pause conversation series, Darcy and Michelle get real about what it actually looks like to create pause in the middle of full, complicated lives. Instead of pretending it's easy, they share the honest challenges of slowing down, making space, and resisting the pressure to constantly push forward. Together, they explore simple, meaningful rituals that help create small moments of pause throughout the day—moments that reconnect us with ourselves, our breath, and what matters most. These practices aren't about perfection; they're about practical ways to bring more presence and intention into everyday life.
