Did you ever have an experience that you thought you would never get through: A divorce, the passing of a loved one, losing your home, a pandemic? The last one put me in a tailspin. I couldn't find my footing, or my connection to joy, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't even get out of bed! Knowing, I didn't want to reside in this exhaustive place, I did what any one does who has storytelling as their vocation. I sought inspiration from stories. People were willing to have a conversation with me and talk about their hardships and how they came out on the other side. Thus, the Joyful Toolkit Podcast was born. In this podcast, I speak to people who share their experiences and how they created a relationship with joy. Are you ready to find your joy? Let's walk this path together.

    Discovering Joy in Grief with Jacquette M. Timmons

    This episode was recorded on 4/2/2021. Dear listener, we are almost at the end of season 1, and I cannot believe we are here!!! In today's episode, we are joined by Jacquette M. Timmons, a woman who focuses on the human side of money. Jacquette works as a financial behavioralist and is committed to getting you to see that you don't manage money. You manage your choices around money. In addition to being the author of Financial Intimacy: How to Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Money and Your Mate and frequent blogger, Jacquette is also the creator of Pricing Made Human®. PMH is designed to help entrepreneurs and small business owners tackle the question, what should I charge for this? From all sides, the financial, the emotional, the personal, so you can price more confidently, strategically, and end up with a thriving business and life. Join us as we talk about: Why we should continue to respect numbers but give as much attention to our behavior and our decisions. Why we must stay mindful of the systemic decisions that have been made for us. Pricing is indicative of so many different things: relationship with money, with ourselves, with business, and with people buying from you. How Jacquette found joy after two tough losses in her life, and how she continues to find peace. The existing relationship between money and social instances, and how we should learn to handle it.

  3. The Joy in Your Creative Flow with Jennet Ingle

    2022. 03. 10.

    The Joy in Your Creative Flow with Jennet Ingle

    This episode was recorded on 3/26/2021. Fellow listeners welcome to episode 10 of The Joyful Toolkit! For this decimal episode, I present to you, Jennet Ingle. Jennet is a master of flow and creativity and always makes things happen with ease. She is Principal Oboist of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. Jennet is a soloist at heart, joyfully taking over any stage that will have her.   As the owner and operator of Jennet Ingle Reeds, she makes and sells over two hundred handmade reeds every month, and helps people with their own reed-making through her YouTube series, The Five Minute Reedmaker, her weekly online Reed Club, and her beginner course, Zero to Reedmaker. She has recently focused on building a community for adult oboists.  Her signature group program, the Invincible Oboist, demystifies instrumental skills and helps oboists to get past the struggle to find ease in their playing.  Her new book, The Happiest Musician, encourages musicians to take agency in their careers and not wait to be chosen. PS: Jennet has also been a crucial part of creating this podcast! Join us as we talk about: How she broke the mold of her industry and why she built her own company for other musicians. What her visibility journey was like and what led her to find her true calling. Why Jennet went against the "course she was given." What joy means to her: flow. When she is in the zone, in flow, doing the right things, she perceives joy. The rubric she uses to coach students and herself. How taking one step at a time instead of trying to solve everything at once helps her when getting thrown out of her flow. The path to success doesn't have to be so difficult.

  4. Finding Joy By Finding Your Center with Ekta Vohra

    2022. 03. 03.

    Finding Joy By Finding Your Center with Ekta Vohra

    This interview was recorded on 2/26/21. After a few stressful days, I am absolutely delighted to have a calming person by my side, Ekta Vohra. Ekta obtained her bachelor's in nursing from NYU and her Master of Science and nursing from Columbia. She has been a registered nurse in New York City for the past 11 years, working with a wide range of patients from oncology to colorectal. She has been a yogi most of her life and obtained her two-hour teaching certification in 2019. Ekta combines westernized medicine and holistic healing when providing care for her patients. Ekta loves connecting with people and is continuously amazed by the resilience of the human spirit. Join us as we speak about: Her profession as a nurse and why her journey into yoga was due to wanting to help people, whatever way she could. What led her to study nursing How yoga has helped her face difficult times, especially during COVID. What breathing means to both of us: something we're in full control over. It can calm us and brings us to the present. What joy means to Ekta: state of being. It is also the simplicity of things; a meal, a hug, being quiet, a big window, etc. What she does to bring herself back to the present, back to joy when she feels she's lost. The importance of community and support from others to overcome difficult times. What Blue Zones are, why people live more than 100 years, and how community influences that.

    Creating Your Own Authentic Self with Jessica DeLugo

    This episode was recorded on 2/18/2021. Hey there! Thank you for joining another episode of The Joyful Toolkit. In today's episode, we are joined by someone who I truly believe showed up in my life by divine timing. She is a writer from a small town in Connecticut who loves to travel, converse, and spend time with family and friends. When she is not thinking about creative ideas or trying new vegan recipes, she can be found on her podcast entitled "Fearless Living". Join us as we talk about: Navigating the corporate world and trying to find your own work that is more artistic or creative. Jessica's definition of joy: paying attention to her own authenticity and finding her inner voice and listening to it. Also, feeling a sense of peace to who she is. Why prayer is one of the strategies she uses when she feels her foundation is falling out from under her. Her view on prayer: Not in the way that it's connected to organized religion, but affirmation and how words are connected to ourselves, inner selves, and the divine. An inner look at Reiki: a Japanese practice of taking universal life energy and utilizing that energy. There are different rules and regulations, and the training is focused on whoever is trained, takes on new students and can put Reiki symbols into your energetic field. More on her podcast: Fearless Living Why writing is one of the tools she uses to find her fearlessness.

    This episode was recorded on January 21, 2021. I am absolutely thrilled to have Tim Campbell as a guest on today's episode. With his bright and shining energy, Tim is a crazy twin dad, obsessed spouse, and as many of us wish to be, he gets paid to read books and sing songs on a regular basis. He's a proud holder of an Audio Grammy, Independent Audiobook, Voice arts, and Earphone's award. Tim has also worked for Star Wars, which he claims was one of the greatest days of his life. Today's deep conversation will have many giggles and a great amount of life lessons. Join us as we discuss: More on Tim's bio, including his full-time narrating job since 2011. His definition of joy: something that comes from a place of purpose, gratitude, and happiness. The relationship between mindfulness, flow, and joy. What experiences led him to practice practices such as mindfulness, Suzuki, and many others. His childhood experience with Buddhism and how he reexamined it to find his own way. How he grounds himself back to the present, especially after all we've been through COVID 19. Why every day we should write down what we're thankful for. His advice to his younger self.

    Reading Between the Lines with Bob Souer

    This interview was recorded on 1/15/2021. Welcome back to The Joyful Toolkit. In today's episode, I am joined by my dear friend Bob Souer. You can probably guess Bob is an audiobook narrator by listening to his voice. Bob started doing audiobooks in 2006. He was first cast to narrate the entire new King James version of The Bible. Up to that point he had expressed a modest amount of interest in doing audiobooks, but he had never actually narrated one. He jumped in quite literally to the end of the pool and then just kept swimming. Bob has now done +300 audiobooks. Join us as we discuss: Bob's entire experience narrating the Old and New Testament (a rough 72 hours) and all of the key elements that helped him, including ISDN lines, a director, and an engineer. When he started doing audiobooks for independent authors and referrals. Why he finds so much joy in narrating non-fiction audiobooks. Humility and happiness: his definition of joy and why he feels it most fully when focusing on others. How leaning on faith, friends and family kept him anchored during a time of loss in his life.  Why adequate rest and hydration are crucial elements for his self-care. The advice he would give to his younger self.
