    Three Ways We Relate to Inner Wisdom—And How to Go Deeper

    Have you ever wondered how well you listen to your inner wisdom? In this episode, we explore the three types of inner listeners—those who don’t recognize their soul’s whispers, those who hear them but choose not to follow, and those who embrace them as their guide. Where do you fall most of the time? And how can you strengthen your connection to your inner wisdom? Join me as we uncover practical ways to shift from doubt or hesitation into trust and alignment with your highest self. In this episode I call back to a previous episode - Facing the Worthlessness Gremlin. It's two episodes back.

    Unraveling the Stories We Tell Ourselves with Adele Fedorak

    Have you ever stopped to consider how the stories you tell—about yourself, about others, about the world—shape your reality? In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Adele Fedorak to explore story intelligence—a powerful concept that goes beyond storytelling and into the very fabric of how we perceive and navigate life. Adele has spent over 30 years immersed in the art and science of story. Through her work coaching professional women and leading small, curated "story pods," she helps people uncover, refine, and reshape their narratives in ways that bring greater clarity, confidence, and connection. Together, we dive into how heightened awareness of our stories can transform our understanding of self and others, why cognitive bias keeps us locked in certain perspectives, and how we can develop the ability to hold multiple truths at once. I also share a recent personal experience where I found myself caught in an old, limiting story and the impact it has had on me. This conversation is rich, thought-provoking, and so relevant in today’s world, where discernment and perspective-taking are more important than ever. Join us as we unpack the power of story and how you can use it to create deeper meaning and positive change in your life. About Adele Fedorek Adele helps professional women grow their natural storytelling abilities so that they speak clearly and confidently about what’s important. She knows that people find their voice through the practice of finding and telling their stories. In addition to providing 1-1 coaching, Adele creates small, curated groups she calls StoryPods for focussed story learning. Adele has been working with and exploring story for over 30 years. Her unique methodology weaves together the art of narrative coaching, the science of language development and the practical wisdom of leadership training. Her approach sparks deep, lasting change, transforming how her clients communicate and lead.  Gift:  For a 30-minute conversation with Adele to explore what’s on your mind related to story or story intelligence https://form.jotform.com/adele275/story-conversation-with-adele Connect with Adele: Websites: AdeleFedorak.ca ConnectwithAdele.ca Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/adele-fedorak/48/938/477 About Anita Adams I’m Anita Adams, your host, and the founder of Joyful Inspired Living, an organization dedicated to guiding individuals toward their authentic selves for a life of purpose, passion, and joy.

    Forgiveness is a Choice: Finding Freedom in Letting Go

    Welcome back to another heartfelt episode of the Joyful Journey. Today, I’m sharing a powerful chapter from my book, Whispers of the Soul, titled Forgiveness is a Choice. This topic has been on my heart lately—how we forgive others, and perhaps more importantly, how we forgive ourselves. I’ll take you on a journey of healing and self-discovery as I explore the pain of holding on, the courage to let go, and the incredible freedom that comes with forgiveness. Together, we’ll reflect on what it truly means to release old stories and embrace compassion for ourselves and others. I also share some reflective exercises to help you reconnect with your inner child—a beautiful source of love, joy, and wisdom—and let that child guide you toward deeper self-forgiveness. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, weighed down by the past, or in need of a little more kindness for themselves. I hope it inspires you to take the courageous step of choosing forgiveness and finding the freedom to move forward.
