    Creating & Using Your Sacred Vision Statement

    What keeps you inspired and grounded in your work when business feels harder, or when the world feels uncertain? In this episode, Joanna shares one of the most powerful tools she's used for over 15 years in her own business — her Sacred Vision Statement. This isn't just a piece of writing or a lofty ideal; it's a living compass that shapes your offerings, your marketing, your voice, and your day-to-day sense of purpose. Your sacred vision is more important now than ever, and Joanna reminds us that while business cycles rise and fall, and the world feels unpredictable, your sacred vision can be a constant — the deeper "why" that reignites your creativity, steadies your faith, and helps you keep showing up with heart and integrity. In this episode, you'll learn: What a Sacred Vision Statement is — and how it differs from a mission statement. Why reconnecting with your deeper "why" can sustain you through challenging times. How to begin crafting or revising your own sacred vision using a few key reflection questions. How your sacred vision becomes not only the soul of your business, but also a powerful marketing tool rooted in values and authenticity. By the end, you'll feel inspired to articulate the world you're helping to create — and to live that vision in everything you do, from your client sessions to your marketing, to how you show up in daily life.

    Renewals are one of the easiest and most reliable ways to grow your income — no funnels, no ads, no cold calling, no endless new-client hustle.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why renewals are the simplest and most reliable sale you'll ever make The #1 key to client renewals Nagivating the energetic fears that can arise ("Will I seem needy?" "What if they can't afford it?") The anatomy of a renewal process: timing, invitation, and how to lead the conversation with ease and confidence A step-by-step flow for renewal sales conversations When you learn the art of client renewal, you build a business grounded in ease, mastery, and genuine relationships — one where your best clients stay, thrive, and grow with you.

    Deactivating the Sister Wound inside of your Group Work

    Have you ever walked into a room of women and—no matter how confident you are in your life—felt that old whisper of Will I belong here? Will they like me? In today's episode, I'm diving into something deeply personal and universal: the Sister Wound. From middle school cliques, to moments even now as a business owner, I've seen how this wound still lingers—shaping how we connect, how we show up, and sometimes even holding us back from the deep sisterhood we long for. Whether it shows up as comparison, jealousy, fear of rejection, or distrust, the Sister Wound has roots in how women have been pitted against each other for generations. And if you're a coach, healer, or facilitator, it's vital to recognize how this dynamic might be playing out in the groups you lead. Because when you learn how to create safety, belonging, and true sisterhood, your circles become profoundly transformational spaces. In this episode, you'll hear about: My own journey from longing to be part of the "clique" to finding belonging in authentic, soulful friendships—and how the wound still whispers sometimes. The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways the Sister Wound can show up inside of groups and communities. Why being aware of this dynamic is essential for facilitators who want to hold spaces of deep trust, openness, and vulnerability. Skills and energetic shifts that help you build true sisterhood in your circles, so participants feel safe, welcomed, and fully engaged. How doing your own healing around sisterhood is the key to leading powerful, connected groups. This conversation is about reclaiming sisterhood as a source of strength, belonging, and transformation. If you lead groups of women (or want to), you'll come away with both insight and inspiration for creating communities where everyone feels they truly belong.

    Making the Intangible Tangible: Using Ritual in Your Coaching & Transformational Work

    Ritual has always been part of human life—woven into traditions, ceremonies, and even the everyday moments we barely notice (think birthday candles). But what happens when we consciously bring ritual into our coaching, our groups, and our own lives? In this episode, Joanna shares why ritual is one of the most powerful tools for transformation you can use with your clients (and for yourself). Drawing from neuroscience, spiritual wisdom, and decades of her own experience as a ritualist, she explores how ritual creates meaning, regulates the nervous system, and helps us embody breakthroughs on the deepest levels. You'll learn: How ritual affects the brain and body—supporting emotional regulation, social bonding, focus, and even motivation. Joanna's personal journey into ritual and ceremony, and how it has shaped her work as a coach and facilitator. Why ritual activates all four levels of learning—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—for deeper embodiment and integration. Real-world examples of using ritual in client work, from marking transitions like divorce or career shifts, to releasing unhelpful patterns, to building team cohesion in business settings. Why ritual matters now more than ever in a culture often devoid of meaning—and how you can begin to create rituals that are authentic, ethical, and deeply impactful. Whether you're guiding 1:1 clients, leading groups, or simply seeking to live with more presence and connection, this episode will inspire you to explore ritual as a transformational practice.

    Marketing that Feels Good: Grow Your Business without Manipulation or Sleaze

    For years, I felt allergic to marketing. It seemed pushy, manipulative, and out of alignment with the values I hold dear. I wanted to share my work in the world, but I couldn't stomach doing it in a way that felt sleazy—or worse, harmful. So for a long time, I hid. I avoided marketing at all costs, and it kept me from truly growing my business. Fast forward to today, and I actually love marketing. I see it as a sacred way of serving, inspiring, and creating real transformation—even before someone hires me. And what changed everything for me was finding a way to market and sell that was ethical, heart-based, and deeply in integrity. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the most important principles I've learned along the way so that you, too, can market your business in ways that feel authentic and true to who you are. Here's what you'll hear inside: The critical difference between "activating the gap" in empowering versus shaming ways How to use urgency to motivate without triggering fear or manipulation The truth about marketing promises—and how to set them in a way that builds trust instead of disappointment Why ethical marketing isn't just possible, but actually more effective in attracting the right clients How aligning your sales approach with your values can unlock confidence and visibility If you've ever felt turned off by traditional marketing strategies—or found yourself holding back from promoting your work because you don't want to compromise your integrity—this episode will be a breath of fresh air. You don't have to choose between being effective and being ethical. You can do both.

    Do I Really Need Another Practitioner Training?

    If you've ever found yourself wondering: "Do I really need another training? Haven't I already learned enough?" — you're not alone. This is one of the most common (and most important) questions that comes up for transformational practitioners. And honestly? Asking it is a good sign — it means you care about discernment, integrity, and not hiding behind "one more certification" instead of actually putting your work into the world. In today's episode, I'm diving into this exact question — and not just in the context of my Sacred Depths Training, but in the bigger picture of how we make aligned choices as practitioners, business owners, and human beings. We'll explore: How to uncover the real motivation behind wanting another training (and how to know if it's expansion or avoidance). The difference between consuming training and investing in training (and why that matters for your growth). The cyclical nature of mastery — how learning, plateauing, and reinvesting are all part of the practitioner's journey. Why lifelong learning can be both a joy and a responsibility to your clients. A simple question that can help you make any big decision with more clarity and self-trust. Whether or not another training is on your horizon, this conversation will give you tools to check in with your motivations, honor your enoughness, and discern your next steps from a place of grounded wisdom. I can't wait to hear what lands for you. 💜 FOLLOW JOANNA   applieddepthinsitute.com   instagram.com/joanna.lindenbaum   The Coaching r(E)volution Facebook Group   RATE, REVIEW, SHARE & FOLLOW (I so appreciate it!)   If you love me and the podcast, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
