    S3 E7: Creative Paths: Amelia Wilson's Journey to Happy on Purpose

    📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube In this episode of I’ll Meet You There, host Paige Nolan sits down with her friend Amelia for a candid and inspiring conversation about living intentionally, reclaiming joy, and the winding path that led to her Substack newsletter, Happy on Purpose. Amelia reflects on her joyful, fearless early childhood in Australia before dysfunction and violence changed life at home. Leaving at 19 became the first step toward building a life of her own—one that would take her from London to New York, where she gradually found a sense of belonging after 9/11, met her husband Jim, and began raising a family. Along the way, she navigated fertility challenges, the adoption of her second child, and growing dissatisfaction with careers in financial services and nonprofit fundraising. In midlife, therapy helped Amelia confront long-held fears, reconnect with the spirited “little girl” she once was, and begin defining work that felt genuinely meaningful. The conversation explores how Amelia turned her desire to publish into a newsletter, gradually embraced writing about happiness and habits, and built a community of 16,000 readers through persistence, experimentation, and thoughtful outreach. She also shares what inspired her to launch a second niche newsletter for women who love recreational tennis. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on reinvention, purpose, and the courage to create a life that feels joyful by design.

    📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube In this episode of I’ll Meet You There, Paige explores growth and evolution through yoga with renowned Los Angeles instructor Alicia “ACE” Easter. In their conversation, Ace recalls an early childhood move from Baltimore to Atlanta that brought forth feelings of cultural and racial isolation while experiencing an escalation of physical abuse at home. It was during those days that Ace learned to use her smile as a defense and turned to sports as an outlet. After her mother’s death, Ace continued pushing forward without fully grieving until discovering yoga. She shares how yoga opened her to physical and emotional healing, including understanding trauma and grief in the body. After training as a yoga teacher and overcoming fear and perfectionism to find her authentic teaching voice, she began serving others through yoga and embodiment practices, culminating in her latest offering, “Peace in the Pause”, which combines yoga, meditation, breathwork, somatic practices and sound to support response over reaction.

    Spaciousness, Stillness & Self-Forgetfulness: The Path to Inspiration with Danielle Baldwin

    📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube In this episode of I’ll Meet You There, host Paige Nolan sits down with executive coach and author Danielle Baldwin for a thoughtful conversation about the relationship between inspiration and motivation—and why we need both. Together, they explore how inspiration acts as a pull toward purpose, while motivation becomes the push that helps us keep going when clarity fades or challenges arise. Paige and Danielle reflect on why inspiration can feel elusive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, and why it can’t be forced. Drawing from Danielle’s work and her book Sparking Greatness, the conversation highlights three conditions that invite inspiration to emerge: spaciousness, stillness, and self-forgetfulness. They discuss how creating space, quieting distraction, and shifting attention beyond the self can reconnect us with what truly matters. Touching on leadership, burnout, and the experience of losing sight of one’s “why,” this episode offers grounded insights and gentle reminders that inspiration often shows up in ordinary moments—when we slow down enough to notice.

And so all this help and love and we're doing it for all these other people and we're not showing up --- 'cause we're empty."
