Follow Your Joy Podcast by Marla Diann Marla Diann

She was born to sell. You don’t need to work twice as hard to make twice as much.
Laura’s charisma and natural sales talent took off right after she completed her Art Degree in college. Art to a sales career? Fascinating story how this all unfolded. 
In the episode, you will hear how her biggest failure due to the 2008 downturn in the economy thanks to the mortgage crisis left her $500K in paralyzing debt. Listen how her booming real estate business with over 100 properties went bust and what she did to make a comeback by taking her courage, resilience, and sales talent to turn a $250K business she was employed by into a $1.2 Million success inside of 2 years. 
Laura shares how vital listening to your intuitive hunches are as she explains the day she listened to a random intuitive message telling her to reach out to a former client. That serendipitous moment turned into a $60K contract. 
Her own transformational story around her challenge with relationship commitment can be a game changer for you as it was for her on all levels in her life. She has so many golden nuggets in this conversation, I couldn’t stop taking notes! You will, too. Be ready to write them down. She gives you loads to think about and begin taking action on. I recommend you re-listen to this a few times so as not to miss anything!

Delighted to have you meet Chris Sobolev, who I met in her Facebook group, All About Italy, only a few months ago.
I was attracted to her good vibes and how she ran her FB group with integrity and fun! She has this genuine, caring quality about her. I had to have her on the show!


Chris and her husband Pete, own Super Savvy Travelers, and work in the quaint seaside town of Calabria, Italy.
They are marketing consultants and property and community developers who match their clients with the professionals in their network to find, purchase, and renovate Italian properties. They also provide marketing services for property sellers. They are not real estate agents in Italy.
They made a life around the beautiful culture Italy offers. As you hear her tell behind the scenes stories of how she ended up in Italy after living in California most of her life, she explains their mission is to share the unspoiled beauty, food and culture of Italy with friends globally, and help them find and renovate properties for use as vacation or full-time homes.
On her YouTube channel, you can see all her videos on current and past renovations of these old, distressed properties turning them into works of art. She just completed her own property, Casa Cristina, ready for short-term rentals in Santa Domenica Talao. 
I know you will find her as genuine as I did as she explains how passionate she and Pete are at helping grow the economy in small hilltop Italian towns and grow solid connections for the greatest good in the greatest number. 
What a great resource! Be sure to save this episode and the show notes to connect with Chris.

Hello creatives! I am honoring this episode to my mother. She would have been 88 today on April 3rd. She passed away last year, Sept 30, 2023. So, Mom, this one’s for you. She always supported me in my love of travel. She’d often ask, “where is the happy wanderer off to now?” 
 
Well, if you are listening Mom, it’s back to Tuscany this time but not solo – better yet with a group of passionate people who also love the joy of traveling to a new country experiencing new cultures, food, wine, and beautiful landscapes. Wish us luck in making it an incredible adventure for everyone!
I have a unique episode today. It’s different in that my guest, Rico Mandel, co-host of our Sept Tuscany Culinary Adventure, joins me in having a fireside chat about our laptop lifestyles due to our love of travel and the transformation it brings to our lives.  We hope this will hit a chord with you to do the same or some variation of it.
And, today we are inviting you to join us live in our April 17th zoom webinar to further experience visually what we will be sharing with you today in the podcast. The no-cost lifestyle webinar, Liberate Your Life in the heart of Tuscany & Umbria, Italy, is now available for registration.  
Today’s episode, we will give you a glimpse of the webinar where we will cover the 9 day 8-night culinary adventure we designed for those of you who are craving that ultimate full immersion, slow paced Italian experience on Sept 21-29.
This episode, however, we go into detail about why this, why now, our backstories, and how Italy transformed our lives and why we are passionate about you sharing this with us. We share our most vulnerable moments when Tuscany became our saving grace for living a better quality life there and back at home in the U.S.
Rico and I have been longtime friends since 1986. We’ve remained friends throughout their own life’s journey over the last three, almost 4 decades. It was last year over dinner when they decided to bring together our shared passions for Italy, travel, cooking, culture, transformation, and play into creating a life changing Italian adventure!
Get comfortable. Sip some fine wine while listening or enjoy your nature walk as we take you behind the scenes of a laptop lifestyle. If you enjoyed the episode, I’d appreciate a review on Apple & Spotify. Let’s connect on IG @marla_diann.

Have you ever had a season in your life when you intuitively knew it was time for a major change from the inside out but felt stuck, frustrated, and unsure how to move forward?  
Things were not showing up the way you know you wanted them to be. Then, not by coincidence, you connect with someone that became a catalyst for the change you craved and needed and before you know it, life began to shift, you felt rejuvenated, hopeful again. People, income, and relationships were elevated. Friends and family noticed the change in you – and began asking –  “What is going on? Something is different and you are so happy!”
Well, my special guest and client, Cindy Celis, will tell you her story of just that. A change that was inspired by listening to her intuition rather than ignoring it. As a result, she manifested her highest revenue month ever. 
Cindy is a well-respected, highly connected 20-year expert in the event industry with a wide range of experience in operations, planning, production and a service provider. Her current role is a partner and Business Development Director at Flair Project, a bar catering company specializing in providing our clients and guests a 'bar experience'.
She is a native of Los Angeles living in Redondo Beach with her awesome husband of 22 years, 3 kids, 2 dogs and 3 cats.  Cindy will catch you off guard when she tells you the career she was initially passionate about before the event industry. I was floored when she mentioned it. The two careers could not have been more different. Go figure?
She’s a delight. Listen in for her golden nuggets in business and life.

Are you like me where I have always been intrigued by what makes a high achiever succeed and what really happened behind the scenes through their struggle to victory story?
My special guest today will astound you as well as inspire you with just that. Her story. Today’s interview with Eugenia Oganova is more about the woman behind the brand and business in how she developed into a world-renowned clairvoyant Business Soul Strategist & Marketing Energetics Coach with over two decades of experience. She is also a best-selling author, speaker, and podcast host.
So today is not so much about the clients who love and respect her or the efficiency of her coaching to help her clients get high achieving results. Instead, we explore the captivating story behind this genius woman, her clairvoyance, and how she found her self-care sweet spot.
She’s generated multiple 7-figure revenues working with clients around the world as she traveled to 27 countries teaching her methodology, been featured in over 100 publications, and helped thousands of clients activate momentum, catalyze awakening, and fast-track business success, turning timelines of decades into months.
So, what is the secret behind this woman’s success?
You’ll have the answer in this episode and her fascinating story as a clairvoyant who turned into a multi-million-dollar coach for transformational female leaders ready to leverage their uniqueness to sustainably scale into multi-6 or 7-figures. She is the creator of the Conscious F.U.T.U.R.E. Method that unites “masculine” Business Strategy with “feminine” Quantum Energetics.
You’ll hear how Eugenia’s grandmother nurtured the clairvoyance in her when everyone else in the family thought she was just “different.”  Eugenia knew she was clairvoyant since 3 ½ years old. By 14, she had a business doing readings for adults all over the world seeking clarity and answers to their lives.
Her most important  mentors? Her grandmother, rock musicians, and non-physical beings. Enjoy the show!

My guest is quite fascinating and inspiring. If you combine a biology and paleontology professor with the innate love of photographing the wild in its Yellowstone habitat, you have Dr. Larry Taylor.  He knew this was his path from the innocent age of five. That’s incredible. He shares his intriguing story of how he followed his joy and gut instincts that led him to live a dream life at his current young age of 38.
He proudly has an undergraduate degree in physiology, a master’s degree in genetics, and a doctorate degree in paleontology. After securing a job as a biology professor in Montana, he soon started pursuing his dream of wildlife photography in earnest. He explains how he monetized his love of photographing wildlife by selling his art and offering Yellowstone photo tours teaching clients how to capture the mystery of the wild through their camera lens. Larry’s story is deeply moving, hopefully, igniting the dreamer in you to listen to your own intuition and follow your joy rather than be distracted by the outside world’s opinions and expectations. He says, “The past three years or so I have found a happiness, fulfillment, and joy that I never would have if I hadn't followed my intuition and chased what was meaningful to me, rather than what made the most logical sense.”
