Follow Your Joy Podcast by Marla Diann

I’m your host, Marla Diann! I’ve been transforming creative entrepreneurs’ lives for over 26 years through two businesses. As a success coach and business strategist, I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs collapse the time frame of achieving their desires and goals. It’s time to make joy your inner GPS for life and business decisions rather than lean on your logic and reason, first. You’ll not only be following what is most authentic to you and for you, but you will live the beautiful life meant just for you. Here at Follow Your Joy Podcast, I aspire for you, the highly talented and passionate creative entrepreneur, to do what brings you joy more often …because you learned to listen to your intuition and take action on that guidance. This is where you’ll find inspiring entrepreneurial stories and solocasts that prove listening to your intuition is certainly the doorway to your wisdom, your genius and your joy. Joy is not to be relegated to a good feeling. It’s a life & business strategy. When we follow our joy and stay tuned into it, we will live a more authentic life. Not sure how to access, use or trust your intuition living in a logical, intellectual world? Join me in the conversation to find out how!

    What would I do if I only had one-year to live? Crisis pushed me to my edge.

    When I choose guests for the podcast, I come from an intuitive place obviously given the purpose and premise of this show and how I operate. I also look for creatives with compelling stories – the strength of the human spirit. Being a journalist, writer, and storyteller as a foundational part of my background, I love how the story is what inspires people to relate as they apply it to their own lives and take action. So, when I met my guest In October 2024 at a women’s global networking event here in LA and listened to her story as she was introducing herself, I intuitively knew she’d be a good guest for you. Our biggest transformations are always when we evolve from a challenge, a crisis, a big wake up call – whatever that is in your life. No different for my guest Salima Yacoubi.  As she writes, “my current career chose me through a crisis that became a calling.” I love that! That’s humanity at its best! That’s the core of her story and that’s why she is here. Salima, from Casablanca, Morocco, resides in Los Angeles as an executive coach where she guides CEOs and family businesses to build meaningful legacies. Prior to that while in New York she founded and led a successful consultancy helping global brands establish their presence in the US market.  She worked as a UN-based journalist and lectured on women and politics for master's students. These experiences led her to develop a way to help leaders align their achievements with deeper purpose. You will find her story of crisis to transformation fascinating as she explains how her intuition led her to a far off place in Patagonia.  Show Links and notes: www.salimayacoubi.com for her free guide on desire-driven leadership.

  2. 40 Years, 1650 Communities in 9 Countries: Planting 73 Million Trees to Transform Lives, Ecosystems & the Environment

    15 JANV.

    40 Years, 1650 Communities in 9 Countries: Planting 73 Million Trees to Transform Lives, Ecosystems & the Environment

    Big environmental and ecosystem impact. Global cause. In today’s episode, I have the honor of talking with two visionaries and humanitarians. Plant with Purpose CEO Scott Sabin and Kathy Kellogg Johnson, co-owner of 100 year old heritage brand Kellogg Garden Products and 15-year volunteer for PWP.   In this lively, highly informative and inspiring conversation, Scott shares his story how he started with Plant with Purpose in 1993 as an accidental environmentalist (article link below). He explains he had various roles ultimately rising to CEO, after beginning as a volunteer while in graduate school.  Kathy joins the conversation as a loyal 15-year volunteer and donor whose life perspective changed dramatically from her first PWP expedition in a third world country and how passionate she is with PWP’s three pillars: Thriving People, Healthy Ecosystems, and Climate Resilience.   I’ll let the profoundness of PWP’s impact sink in with you as you hear how the core efforts are integrated in long-term community-driven programs with local partners in nine countries.  They partner with farmers in 1650 communities to plant 73 million trees, while dramatically reducing poverty in their watersheds.  “Trees are the lungs of the planet. Fundamentally, the reason we started planting trees is because they are one of the best ways of helping hungry people, who grow their own food, to restore and get the most out of the land they depend on,” says Scott. Incredible. Share this with your children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends. We are all one.   Links from the Show: https://www.scottsabin.com/blog/the-journey-of-an-accidental-environmentalist www.plantwithpurpose.org www.scottsabin.com www.kellogggarden.com IG: @plantwpurpose, YouTube, FB, TikTok: Plant with Purpose   PWP Celebratory YouTube video: https://youtu.be/XLH22r3TKXw?si=xt6lfTsiEj2aX6AA Download free entrepreneurial resources about higher earning power, a success books list, and creativity impacting your income at www.marladiann.com/free

    Her SoulFUEL® platform empowers women to discover their purpose, leverage skills, and prosper.

    The life of an entrepreneur certainly has its twists, turns, highs and lows. As many have said and I agree that being an entrepreneur is one of the best self development courses you can ever take. That is why having a mentor, a coach to help navigate this journey with you is vital to your success. Not only does my guest today live this life but she is considered one of the top soul-driven women business coaches in the world.  Where her story gets vulnerable and compelling is when her personal challenges became her catalyst for deep change – she says, “None of her professional and business successes equipped her more than overcoming immense personal challenges from earlier in her life, which you will hear today as a challenge to a breakthrough story.  You hear why Wendy’s passion and calling is to help burnt out women who are frustrated and confused about why their dreams are not coming true and how she guides them to unlock, monetize and scale their dream business and life. And, her key advice may surprise you given how many changes have been made to the online space over the last 16 years.  Wendy is also host of the FREE Ticket to Freedom Virtual Summit (11th season) starting Dec 10 - 19.

    She turns the stereotype of mundane bookkeeping into a creative, empowering, and humorous adventure!

    Well here we are, it's Thanksgiving time in the US. What can you be grateful for currently in all ways and what can you be grateful for that has not yet shown up in our life? I call that the unseen gratitudes. Like a faith statement. Happy Thanksgiving to you if you live in the US and I am grateful for you anywhere you are in the world! When you think about bookkeeping, what comes to mind? Boring. Mundane. Numbers. P&Ls. Data. Not with this unique gal! My special guest, Norma Mancini, is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are getting but you count on it being fun! And, today is Norma’s 20th wedding anniversary!  Her fun, snarky humor coupled with her sharp mind and compassion for humanity makes working with her a creative and empowering adventure. She surely breaks the mold of a serious, detailed fiscal wizard. The most compelling part of her intriguing yet humbling story is what happened and why she kept ignoring the nudges of her intuition to change her life. What she went through is very relatable to women who seek meaning and value in their lives beyond their important role as a mother. Equally compelling is how she helped a new client overcome his trust issues by giving access to the information in his financial accounts and what became of that relationship. Tune into this lively conversation about how women’s lives transform when intuition comes knocking and you heed the call. I promise there is nothing in the show about spreadsheets and how-to read a balance sheet! Tune in on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, iHeart and YouTube.

  5. Her Resilience and Intuition Kept Her On Course to Finding her Calling

    Her Resilience and Intuition Kept Her On Course to Finding her Calling

    Resilience is the first word that came to mind when I began composing the script for today’s show and guest. Ashley Rivera is a beautiful example of resilience, courage, and intention. Not only does her life journey exude this, but I have had the privilege of witnessing and experiencing these traits as her coach over the last 5 months through my Create Cohort and private coaching. She is very diligent in her pursuits and is courageous to transform most anything that blocks her from her desires and goals. And, I call her a Queen Manifestor! She knows how to manifest what she needs and wants. She is what I call an old soul that has had many lifetimes of wisdom helping her navigate her personal challenges. So much so that she finally took the leap of faith to follow her calling and her joy to become a transformational life coach and speaker to help others overcome their challenges and design a new life And you will hear how that came to be today. It’s quite compelling. Her story is far from common and will surprise you in her strength and resilience.

    What is the secret behind the art of recruiting world class sales talent and teams for early-stage technology companies? Listen in for her leading edge.

    As you can imagine, being an executive recruiter requires a good amount of intuitive skill to find and hire topline talent for companies. Intuition is the leading edge when pursuing and interviewing talent. I’m pleased to bring you my dear friend and client, Dinna Voges, Owner/President/CEO of Dinna.io to the podcast. Her leading edge in her 20+ year career is her intuition. As you will hear, interestingly, she interacts mostly with men all day serving them as clients and candidates. Dinna helps ambitious early-stage technology companies build world class teams by finding and attracting the right talent for their crucial Go-To-Market roles, which is the customer facing needs such as Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing. You will hear stories about how by consistently accessing her instincts, not logic, she successfully hires the right fit for the company and role. She says when she has gone against her intuition, the results typically did not bode well. So, how often do you find this happens to you in your personal life? Work life? This is a very common concern of women. Wanting to lean into their intuition, but defaulting to their logic and critical thinking instead. If I had a dollar for every time I heard this, I’d be… well, you know the saying. Stick with us. We've got you covered.  Join us in a compelling conversation about being a driven, intuitive, high achieving woman in the tech industry and how Dinna navigates the balance of the feminine and masculine energies while fostering true partnerships and what she calls “raving fans” with her clients. She’s a pro at it. You will definitely pick up golden nuggets from her wisdom.

  7. Tuscany Dreams Do Come True: Lessons of Healing, Transformation, & Living Like an Italian

    Tuscany Dreams Do Come True: Lessons of Healing, Transformation, & Living Like an Italian

    Sept 18th I flew to Italy for the 4th time since my life and business makeover in 2017. If you are new to my podcast, I hit a big burnout in my business in 2017 that had me hiring a new mentor, Gina DeVee, for an intensive 4 hour in person session to recover my dreams and learn how to make money with joy, rather than the constant overwhelm, hustle, push the boulder up the hill and abundant amounts of stress. The result of that session was the recovery of my 20 year unrealized Italian dream to work and live in the US and Italy as a laptop lifestyle entrepreneur by creating a month long stay in beautiful Florence, Italy summer 2017.  In this episode, I take you on an Italian journey of bliss and transformation, again. This time I share the details of my Sept 9-day Culinary Adventure in Tuscany & Umbria with my co-host and guests and how to use my Creative Achievement Formula to achieve your top desires. I give you a list of how my life and business have changed by following my desires first. I have a few surprise videos to enhance the experience!  Links from the show:  **Laser 1-1 coaching: https://marladiann.com/laser-coaching/ **CREATE Cohort 2025 with early rate enrollment now: https://marladiann.com/create/ **Free Higher Earning Power download, Top Recommended Success books list, and Feed Your Creativity download: https://marladiann.com/free/ Intro call: https://calendly.com/successcoach-marladiann/connection?month=2024-10
