Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 24 You don't need more time, you need more truth.

The Story

In this episode of Becoming No Ordinary Woman, Joanna shares her personal journey of overcoming the limiting belief that she didn't have enough time to pursue her dreams. She emphasises the importance of aligning one's truth with actions and how fear often masquerades as a lack of time. Through her unique H4 activation model, Joanna guides listeners on how to shift their mindset, honour their emotions, connect with their higher selves, and take aligned actions to reclaim their time and live authentically. The episode concludes with an invitation to a transformative five-day event designed to help participants break free from limiting beliefs and activate their self-leadership.

Takeaways

  • You don't need more time, you need more truth.
  • The stories we tell ourselves can keep us stuck.
  • Fear often masquerades as a lack of time.
  • Aligning your actions with your truth creates momentum.
  • Your mission can be bigger than your fears.
  • Time expands when you live in your truth.
  • Emotional mastery is key to recognising misalignment.
  • Visualising your desired self can guide your actions.
  • Taking aligned actions signals readiness to the universe.
  • You were never out of time, just out of truth.


The Strategy


🧠 Head — Mindset Mastery

First comes awareness.
You have to recognise the story you’re telling yourself.

The next time you hear yourself say, “I don’t have time,” pause and ask:
👉 “Is this story protecting me or progressing me?”



💓 Heart — Emotional Mastery

The next step is to honour what you feel.

The frustration. The guilt. The overwhelm.
These emotions aren’t proof that you can’t handle more — they’re messages from your soul.


✨ Higher Self — Energetic Mastery

This is where you connect to your inner knowing — your higher self.

Close your eyes and visualise the woman who’s already living the life you desire.
She’s not rushing.
She’s not apologising.
She’s not waiting for more time — she’s creating it.

✋ Hands — Embodiment Mastery

Finally, truth without action is just awareness.

So take one aligned action today.
Just one.

Say no to one thing that isn’t aligned with your truth — maybe it’s an obligation, a commitment, a habit that drains you.
And say yes to one thing that moves you closer to your vision.

The Soul - Journal prompts

  1. What story am I telling myself about time — and what truth am I avoiding?
  2. What am I afraid will happen if I go all in on what I really want?
  3. If I trusted myself completely, what would I choose to prioritise this week?


Universal Guidance - 

The card I pulled today is the Ten of Wands.

It’s the image of a woman carrying too much — weighed down by responsibilities, expectations, and obligations that aren’t even hers to hold.

This card doesn’t say you’re doing too much — it says you’re carrying the wrong things.

The weight you feel isn’t from lack of time.
It’s from holding up a version of yourself that you’ve already outgrown.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 23 When success stops feeling like success.

The Story

In this conversation, Joanna discusses the importance of recognising when one's life feels unfulfilling and the call to embrace change. She emphasises the need for curiosity and self-discovery as pathways to uncovering untapped potential and becoming the best version of oneself.

Takeaways

  • There's more potential in you that you have not realised yet.
  • That restless whisper is not asking you to burn everything down.
  • It's simply inviting you to stop settling.
  • Start getting curious again.
  • There's a version of you waiting on the other side.
  • The woman that you were always meant to be.
  • Embrace change as a part of growth.
  • Curiosity leads to self-discovery.


The Strategy

1. Tell yourself the truth.
Stop pretending everything’s fine. It’s not ungrateful to admit that what once fulfilled you no longer does.

2. Reconnect with your values.
Success often gets defined by titles, achievements, or possessions — but real fulfilment comes from alignment.

3. Notice where you’ve been performing.
Pay attention to the moments you smile through frustration, say yes when you mean no, or shrink your truth to keep the peace.


4. Create space before clarity.
You don’t find clarity in noise or overthinking — you create it through stillness, reflection, and courage.

5. Choose differently — even in one small way.
The truth is, what you’re not changing, you’re choosing.
So, start small. Make one decision today that reflects who you are becoming, not who you’ve been.


The Soul - journal prompts

Take your journal, or a walk, and explore these reflections:

  1. Truth:
    Where in my life have I been saying “it’s fine” when it really isn’t?
    (Notice what situations instantly come to mind — that’s your truth speaking.)
  2. Values:
    What actually matters to me now — not five years ago, not to anyone else, but right now?
    (Let your answers be simple and raw. These are your new metrics for success.)
  3. Performance:
    Where am I still performing for approval or safety?
    And what would it look like to show up as my real self there?
  4. Space:
    What one small pocket of time or space can I protect this week to listen to myself again?
    (Clarity can’t find you if there’s no room to land.)
  5. Choice:
    What’s one decision — however small — that reflects the woman I’m becoming, not the one I’ve been?

Pause on whichever question feels most alive for you.


Universal Guidance

The card I pulled for this episode was the Four of Cups.
It shows a woman sitting beneath a tree, surrounded by what she’s built — the full cups of everything she once wanted.
Yet she stares into the distance, feeling something missing.

And off to the side, there’s another cup being offered — something new, something unknown — but she’s so focused on what already exists that she can’t see it.

This card is the perfect mirror for this conversation.
It’s not about dissatisfaction — it’s about truth.
It’s that quiet moment when your soul says, “There’s something more for you, if you’re willing to reach for it.”

Discontent isn’t failure.
It’s guidance

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 22 - The thing that scares me most (trigger warning- this might change your life)

The Story

In this episode of the Becoming No Ordinary Woman podcast, Joanna reflects on the themes of mortality, regret, and the pursuit of a fulfilling life. She shares her personal journey, including the loss of her mother to cancer, which catalysed her mission to help women live authentically and without regret. Joanna emphasises the importance of recognising life's fragility and encourages listeners to take brave actions towards their dreams. She provides practical strategies for self-discovery and living fully, urging everyone to choose courage over comfort.

The Takeaways

  • The fear of regret can be a powerful motivator.
  • Life is too short to settle for mediocrity.
  • Personal loss can lead to profound life changes.
  • It's essential to listen to your inner voice.
  • Living authentically requires courage and action.
  • Dreams should not be postponed indefinitely.
  • Recognising when you're out of alignment is crucial.
  • Daily rituals can help reconnect with your desires.
  • Taking small steps can lead to significant changes.
  • Each day is an opportunity to live fully.


The Strategy

1. Stop Numbing and Start Noticing

We fill our days with busyness, scrolling, distractions — anything to avoid hearing the quiet truth that we’re not happy.
Today, make a promise to notice.

  • When do you feel most alive?
  • When do you feel drained or disconnected?

2. The 10,000-Day Audit

Grab a journal or a piece of paper. Draw two columns: Life Lived and Life Left.
Under “Life Lived,” write everything you’re proud of — moments, memories, decisions that made you feel alive.
Under “Life Left,” write what you still long to experience, create, or become.
Then ask yourself: What am I no longer available to postpone?

3. Choose One Brave Action

Big lives aren’t built in giant leaps — they’re built through daily acts of courage.
What’s one decision you’ve been avoiding that could bring more aliveness into your life right now?
Do it this week. Don’t wait for perfect clarity. You’ll grow into readiness by moving.

4. Build Your Aliveness Ritual

Too often, we ignore the whisper of our soul because we know it is not right and we are not ready to receive the wisdom its guiding us too.
Create a daily ritual — five quiet minutes to reconnect with your desires.
Ask: “What would make me feel most alive today?”
Then honour it, even if it’s something small.


The Soul - journal promotes to help you

  1. Where am I letting comfort steal my courage?
  2. What dream or desire keeps whispering to me no matter how much I try to ignore it?
  3. What would my life look like if I started living like time was sacred?


🔮 Universal Guidance — Four of Swords

This card appears after a period of battle and make no mistake, living a life un-lived is a battle of the soul. The Four of Swords is your reminder that stillness is preparation.
It’s about withdrawing from the noise so you can hear the guidance of your higher self. Before you make the next big move, take a sacred pause: rest, reflect, and recommit to what truly matters.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 21 - The two words that keep you stuck or unleash your potential

The Story

In this episode of Becoming No Ordinary Woman, Joanna explores the transformative power of the phrase 'what if.' She discusses how this simple mindset shift can lead to either fear or possibility, sharing personal stories and practical steps to help listeners embrace their potential. Through her journey, Joanna illustrates the importance of choosing empowering thoughts and offers actionable strategies to shift from fear-based thinking to a mindset of possibility and growth.


Takeaways

  • The words you choose reveal your mindset and beliefs.
  • 'What if' can either inspire or instill fear.
  • Doubts can stall dreams and lead to playing small.
  • Transforming fear-based thoughts into possibility is crucial.
  • Awareness of thought patterns can be transformational.
  • Practicing new thought patterns can change your life.
  • Self-trust is essential for overcoming fear.
  • Your energy impacts the life you live.
  • Choosing possibility over fear leads to empowerment.

The Strategy

1. Notice your “What If” patterns.
For the next 24 hours, I want you to simply observe. Every time you catch yourself saying or thinking “What if…”, pause. Ask yourself:
👉 “Is this thought rooted in fear or possibility?”
No judgment, just awareness. This step alone can be transformational — because most of us run fear-based “What ifs” on autopilot.


2. Flip the script.
Once you spot the fear-based “What ifs”, consciously rewrite them.
For example:

  • “What if I fail?” → “What if I succeed beyond my wildest dreams?”
  • “What if they judge me?” → “What if my courage inspires them?”
  • “What if I’m not ready?” → “What if this is exactly the right time?”

This is about training your mind to look for evidence of possibility rather than danger.


3. Anchor into trust.
When fear creeps in, add this phrase:
👉 “What if… and I’ll be okay.”
It doesn’t deny reality — it reminds your nervous system that you can handle whatever comes. That self-trust changes everything.


4. Build your new “What If” muscle.
Each morning this week, choose one area of your life — your career, a dream, a relationship — and write a positive “What if” statement about it.
Watch what happens when you start your day in that energy of expansion.


The Soul - Journal prompts

What would this shift in thinking open up in my life?

·      What area of my life is ready for more possibility and potential? What if I allowed myself to explore this?

·      What if I chose to let go of fear. What could this mean for my life now, in 12 months, in 5 years?


Universal Guidance - the 5 of Wands

This card invites you to step back and recognise that the battle isn’t out there — it’s within.
It’s a call to stop fighting yourself.
When you drop the struggle and align your energy behind possibility rather than fear, your focus becomes clear, and your actions become unstoppable.
The Five of Wands reminds you: not all friction is bad — sometimes it’s simply the energy of growth, pushing you to rise to the next level.

Let the friction refine you, not define you.

The Shift is my latest powerful coaching offering. It is a 90 minute powerful conversation helping you change the area of your life that you know is holding you back.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 20 -Stop Calling It Imposter Syndrome. Start Calling It Growth – Choosing to reframe when self sabotage is kicking your butt

The Story

In this episode, Joanna delves into the pervasive issue of imposter syndrome and self-sabotage, exploring how these feelings manifest even in successful individuals. She shares personal anecdotes and insights on how to recognise and combat these negative patterns, emphasising the importance of self-awareness and changing one's narrative. Joanna provides practical strategies to overcome imposter syndrome, encouraging listeners to embrace their worthiness and expand their capacity for joy and success.


Takeaways

  • Imposter syndrome is a feeling of inadequacy despite success.
  • Your inner critic aims to keep you safe within your comfort zone.
  • Self-sabotage resets your emotional thermostat when you exceed your limits.
  • Recognising your sabotage patterns is the first step to overcoming them.
  • Hidden beliefs drive self-sabotaging behaviorus.
  • Celebrating small wins is crucial for building confidence.
  • Accepting compliments is a way to acknowledge your worth.
  • Changing the narrative can help combat feelings of inadequacy.
  • You are worthy of success, love, and joy without needing to prove it.
  • Noticing sabotage signals a breakthrough is near.


The Strategy

  1. Spot Your Sabotage Pattern – Become aware of the habits that you have that signal that you are sabotaging.
  2. Name the Hidden Belief – Our behaviour is driven by the beliefs we hold whether they are conscious or subconscious. Next time you feel imposter syndrome or self sabotage kicking in, stop and ask yours elf “What belief says I can’t have this much success/love/joy?”.
  3. Expand Your Capacity for Joy – Practice sitting with good feelings without rushing to the next worry. How many times do you just let your achievements pass by without a pause for celebration?
  4. Change the narrative – Remember: you’re not sabotaging because you don’t want it — you’re sabotaging because you’ve been brave enough to push outside your comfort zone. You are stretching. It is time to change the narrative. You can tell yourself you are feeling unsettled because you are pushing yourself and you are going to get found out OR you can choose a different story.


The Soul - journal prompts

  • When things are going well, how do I tend to sabotage myself?
  • What belief might be hiding underneath that behaviour?
  • If I believed I was safe to have even more joy/success/love, what would I do differently today?
  • If I chose to believe in my brilliance, how differently might I show up?
  • What is my trigger for knowing that imposter syndrome is creeping in?


Universal guidance - The Queen of Pentacles

The Queen of Pentacles invites you to rise with calm authority, to expand your capacity for good things, and to lead from a place of wholeness. You don’t have to chase abundance — you are it.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 19 - Life lessons from selling on Vinted

The Story

In this episode of Becoming No Ordinary Woman, Joanna explores the balance between strategy and soul, sharing personal experiences that highlight the importance of valuing oneself. Through a story about selling clothes, she illustrates how letting go of the past and trusting one's worth can lead to empowerment and financial flow. Joanna provides practical lessons on recognising value, setting standards, and embodying self-worth, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own lives and the lessons the universe offers.


Key Takeaways

  • I leverage a balance between strategy and soul.
  • Letting go of the past can be liberating.
  • Money can flow to you when you trust your value.
  • Recognising demand is crucial in valuing yourself.
  • The universe provides lessons if you're open to them.
  • Distinguishing value from validation is essential.
  • Treat money as energy to attract abundance.
  • Trusting your worth can change your life.
  • Setting clear standards helps in negotiations.
  • Embodying your worth is key to receiving it.


The Soul - journal prompts


  • Where in your life are you negotiating against yourself?
  • Where are you accepting less than you deserve — whether in relationships, career, or even your own dreams?
  • What would shift if you started saying, “No — my value is already clear, and I trust it”?


Universal Guidance


The card I pulled for this episode was The High Priestess. And she could not be more perfect.

The High Priestess is the guardian of your inner knowing. She invites you to trust your intuition, to tune into the quiet voice inside you that says, “You already know your worth. Stop seeking external validation.”

In this Vinted moment, my rational brain said, “Just accept less, it’s easier.”
But my inner High Priestess said, “Hold steady. Trust yourself. Trust the value you bring.”

That’s the invitation for you too. The High Priestess reminds you: You don’t need to prove your value. You simply need to embody it.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 18 Be Curious, Not Judgemental - The leadership power in seeking first to understand

The Story


In this episode, Joanna shares a personal story that highlights the importance of seeking to understand before being understood, a principle that has shaped her leadership approach. She recounts her husband Rob's experience as a headteacher and the challenges he faced, emphasising how judgment from others can lead to misunderstandings and emotional pain. Joanna provides practical steps for listeners to cultivate understanding in their interactions, ultimately encouraging a shift from judgment to empathy and leadership.


Key Takeaways

  • Seek first to understand before being understood is powerful.
  • Judgment can lead to misunderstandings and emotional pain.
  • Rob's experience as a headteacher highlights the need for empathy.
  • Pause before reacting to create space for understanding.
  • Ask open questions to bridge gaps in understanding.
  • Listen beyond words to grasp deeper meanings.
  • Seek context to understand the bigger picture.
  • Self-awareness is crucial for healthy interactions.
  • Leadership is about perspective and understanding.
  • Curiosity over judgment fosters better relationships.


The Soul - Journal prompts


Where in your life do you react quickly instead of pausing to understand?

  • What assumptions are you making about others that might not be true?
  • When was the last time someone really sought to understand you — and how did that make you feel?
  • How can you create more space to understand yourself before seeking understanding from others?
  • What relationships in your life would shift if you led with curiosity instead of judgement?


Universal Guidance

The card I pulled today is the Two of Wands.

This is a card of vision, decision, and stepping into new territory. It reminds us that leadership is not just about action, but about perspective. Standing at the threshold of possibility, you hold the choice: do you rush ahead with assumptions, or do you expand your view and see the whole horizon before you?

This card invites you to step into your role as the visionary of your own life — to make choices from a place of understanding, clarity, and expanded awareness. Just like holding the world in your hands, your power lies in perspective. When you seek to understand, you open doors that would remain closed if you rushed to be understood first.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 17 From Overlooked to Unstoppable - When comparison becomes the thief of dreams

SHOWNOTES


Summary


The Story

In this episode, Joanna discusses the powerful shift in mindset that comes from recognising that being underestimated does not equate to unworthiness. Through the story of Judith from the show Destination X, Joanna illustrates how underdogs can triumph against the odds by staying focused, trusting their journey, and not succumbing to comparison. She emphasises the importance of self-belief, persistence, and the unique timing of each individual's path to success.


Takeaways

  • Being underestimated does not mean you are unworthy of dreams.
  • Focus and observation can lead to success.
  • Comparison can create a false narrative of being behind.
  • Trusting your own timing is crucial for achieving dreams.
  • Stay present and attentive to your own journey.
  • Playing your own game is essential for success.
  • Small consistent steps lead to extraordinary results.
  • Self-doubt can create a mental prison.
  • The limitations we feel are often self-imposed.
  • You are capable and resourced to run your own race.



The Strategy

1. Stop comparing timelines.
Comparison creates a false hierarchy. You might look at someone else and see them as “ahead” because they’ve achieved something you haven’t yet. But every dream has its own divine timing.

2. Stay present and attentive.
In life, your experiences, setbacks, lessons, and even your pauses are all part of the toolkit you’ll eventually need. So instead of looking sideways, keep noticing what your own journey is teaching you. That’s your real advantage.

3. Play your game.
It’s tempting to try to replicate someone else’s strategy — to believe their way is the right way. But your path is unique. Their formula may not work for you, because it wasn’t designed for you.

4. Trust the long game.
This isn’t about quick wins; it’s about building a life and a legacy. The tortoise didn’t win because he sprinted — he won because he kept going.

Anchor mantra:
“My path, my pace, my win.”


The Soul - Your journal prompts

  • Where in your life do you currently feel like the underdog?
  • What quiet advantages have you gained from your journey that you might be overlooking?
  • If you stopped comparing, how would you approach your dream differently this week?
  • What truth would you like to affirm for yourself right now about your timing?


The Universal Guidance - 8 of Swords


This card is here to remind you:
👉 The limitations you feel are not the truth — they are the story you’re telling yourself.
👉 The way forward is already available to you once you choose to see it.
👉 You are never as trapped, stuck, or “behind” as your mind might make you believe.

Free yourself from the illusion that comparison creates. You are not the underdog. You’re already capable, resourced, and perfectly placed to run your race in your timing.

  • Feel to free yourself from negative emotions.
  • Make celebration part of your emotional hygiene.
  • Flip limiting beliefs into empowering truths.
  • Your brain will look for evidence to prove you right.


The Strategy

Mindset Mastery (head) - Identify your limiting beliefs and swap them for empowering ones.

Emotional Mastery (heart - Allow yourself to FEEL. Name the emotion - experience it, let it go.

Manifesting Mastery (higher self) - Step into feminine energy. Reconnect with your desires and trust they are available for you

Embodiment Mastery (Hands) - Take aligned actions to create momentum


The Soul - your journal prompts

  • Which of the four areas (Head, Heart, Higher Self, Hands) are currently your strongest?
  • Which area are you avoiding — and how is that keeping you in ‘dream seeker’ mode?
  • If you fully embodied all four, what dream would you stop seeking and start achieving right now?


Universal Guidance- 7 of Wands

The 7 of Wands says: You are strong enough. You are capable enough. And this dream is yours if you’re willing to stand firm and embody it.

So the invitation from this card is:

·       Where do you need to stand taller for your dream?

·       Where are you being invited to hold your ground, not against others, but against your own old patterns that try to pull you back?

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 15 September, Seasons and why giving up is your choice

The Story

In this episode, Joanna reflects on the significance of September as a time for renewal and goal reassessment. She shares her personal journey of running the Great North Run, drawing parallels between the race and the journey of life. Joanna emphasises the importance of perseverance, encouraging listeners to view September not as a finish line but as a new beginning. She outlines five actionable steps to reset goals and reignite motivation, while also inviting listeners to embrace their dreams and pursue them passionately.


Takeaways

  • September is a reset month, not a finish line.
  • Many women write off their goals as the year progresses.
  • It's only over if you choose it to be.
  • Perseverance is key to achieving your dreams.
  • September can be a second new year for refocusing.
  • Recommit to one goal that matters most.
  • Create a reset ritual to signal a fresh start.
  • Shorten your timeframe to maintain focus and momentum.
  • Accountability can enhance commitment to your goals.
  • Your desires are valid and pursuing them is necessary.


The Strategy


1. Recommit to ONE goal that matters most.

2. Create a reset ritual.

3. Shorten the timeframe.

4. Get accountability.

5. Anchor into your why.

The Soul - Journal prompts

  1. If I could only achieve one thing between now and December, what would feel the most meaningful and aligned?
  2. What small ritual could I create this week to mark my fresh start — in my home, my routines, or my mindset?
  3. What feels possible for me to create, shift, or complete in the next 90 days?
  4. Who can I share my commitment with so I don’t carry it alone? Who will cheer me on?
  5. Why does this matter to me right now? What’s the deeper reason I refuse to give up on this dream?


The Universal Wisdom

The card I pulled for this episode is the Knight of Cups.

This is the card of the dreamer, the romantic, the one who moves forward guided by the heart. The Knight of Cups invites you to pursue your visions, not with logic alone but with passion, imagination, and a sense of adventure.

In many ways, September is the Knight of Cups energy — it asks: Will you ride towards your dreams, even if they feel unconventional, even if others don’t understand? Will you allow your heart to lead you into the next season of your life?

It’s a reminder that your desires are valid, and the pursuit of them is noble and necessary.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 14 The Power Of The Shift

Summary

In this episode of Becoming No Ordinary Woman, Joanna discusses the feelings of overwhelm and being stuck in life. She introduces the Wheel of Life as a tool for gaining clarity and understanding which areas need attention. Joanna emphasises the importance of focusing on one area for change rather than trying to overhaul everything at once. She shares five steps to create lasting change and highlights the interconnectedness of different life areas. The episode concludes with a powerful message about embracing change and reclaiming personal power.


Takeaways

  • Many women feel overwhelmed and stuck in their lives.
  • The Wheel of Life is a valuable tool for clarity.
  • Focusing on one area of life can create a ripple effect.
  • Small steps can lead to significant progress.
  • Trying to change everything at once often leads to burnout.
  • Making healthier choices can improve multiple life areas.
  • Self-trust is essential for personal growth.
  • You don't have to fix everything at once.
  • One intentional shift can lead to transformation.


The Strategy

5 steps to creating a shift in your life

  1. Decide on one area that needs to change and define the change you want to see. 
  2. What empowering mindset will you need to adopt? What will your new mantra be? 
  3. How will you feel when this shift happens? How can you tap into that feeling now? What can you do more of to create that vibe?
  4. What’s the first action you need to take?This is often where the wheels fall off because we try to do too much and get overwhelmed. I like to find the first three actions I need to take.
  5. What does the highest version of you know you need to change to make this stick?Our intuitions are powerful tools that often get overlooked, particularly when we’re feeling challenged and overwhelmed.


The SOUL: Journal prompts

Ask yourself:

  • What’s one area of your life that no longer fits — no matter how much you try to make it work?
  • What’s one truth you’ve been scared to admit to yourself?
  • What shift is quietly whispering your name?


UNIVERSAL GUIDANCE

The card I pulled for this episode was The Empress — and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more aligned message.

The Empress is the embodiment of creation, self-trust, and feminine power. She doesn’t wait for permission. She decides— from within — what she’s ready to grow, and then she nurtures it into being.
She doesn’t try to control every outcome… but she takes full ownership of what she’s cultivating.

In the context of this episode, The Empress is here to remind you that you are the source.
That the life you desire won’t come from fixing everything at once… but from choosing one thing to honour, to shift, to lead with love — and then showing up for it fully.

Her message is clear:

“You don’t have to hustle your way into a better life.
You simply need to stop abandoning the part of you that knows what she wants.”

The Empress invites you to:

  • Choose one area of your life that’s ready to be reborn
  • Tend to it like it matters — because it does
  • Trust that when you commit to your growth, life will rise to meet you

This is what The Shift is all about.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about reclaiming your power as the creator of your life  one intentional shift at a time.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 13 Strategies to help you find the perfect coach for you

The Story

In this episode, Joanna discusses the critical importance of choosing the right coach in the unregulated coaching industry. She shares her experiences and insights on what to look for in a coach, emphasising the need for integrity, respect, and a client-centred approach. Joanna outlines key considerations for potential clients, including the importance of feeling safe and respected, looking beyond hype, and assessing readiness for coaching. She concludes with a reminder that coaching should be viewed as a relationship built on mutual trust and emotional connection.

Takeaways

  • Choosing a coach is one of the most important relationships you'll ever have.
  • The right coach will never use fear or scarcity to get you to say yes.
  • It's essential to feel safe, seen, and respected in a coaching relationship.
  • Trust your instincts when selecting a coach; don't feel pressured.
  • A good coach helps you walk the path to your dreams, not just sells you a dream.
  • Regular coaching sessions create accountability and momentum.
  • Be ready to be vulnerable and commit to the coaching process.
  • Coaching is about moving forward, while therapy is about healing.
  • See the coaching relationship as a partnership, not a transaction.


The Strategy

  1. Check the energy – Do you feel safe, seen, and respected in their presence? Or do you feel pressured, judged, or rushed? Trust your instincts. 
  2. Look beyond the hype – A good coach isn’t just selling you a dream; they’re helping you walk the path to it. My advice would be to see if the coach is embodying what they are selling. 
  3. Is the package right? – Do they hold a structure that creates the best environment for your success? One of the benefits of regular coaching is accountability because it helps keep you aligned to your goals and to achieve progress and momentum. 
  4. Assess your own readiness – Are you willing to be vulnerable, take action, and commit? This is important. You need to know the time is right. Are there things from your past that are still holding you back that you can’t move past yet? Perhaps therapy is the better option in the first instance. 
  5. See it as a relationship, not a transaction – This is someone who will be holding your dreams with you. That’s worth choosing carefully. Because a payment is involved, it is easy to see it is a transaction but you want someone by your side who connects with you and that you feel gets and understands where you are coming from. 


The Soul - journal prompts


  • Where in your life have you accepted a quick fix instead of choosing the deeper, more transformational route? What did you learn from this?
  • If you were to choose a coach purely on alignment and chemistry, not pressure or urgency, what qualities would you look for?
  • What would it feel like to be fully invested (emotionally, energetically, and financially) in your own growth?


Universal Guidance 

Today I pulled the Ace of Cups — a card of emotional renewal, deep connection, and beginnings rooted in love and truth.

In the context of coaching, it’s a reminder that the best partnerships are born from genuine emotional resonance and trust.

The Ace of Cups is an invitation to choose relationships — whether personal or professional — that overflow with mutual respect, compassion, and authentic care.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 12 What burnout taught me about the power of balancing your energy

The Story


In this episode, Joanna explores the importance of balancing masculine and feminine energies to achieve personal and professional success without burnout. She shares her journey from a corporate career dominated by masculine energy to a more harmonious approach that incorporates both energies. Joanna provides practical steps for listeners to identify their default energy, recognise signs of imbalance, and intentionally balance these energies for a more fulfilling life.


Takeaways

  • Success doesn't always mean constant action.
  • Masculine energy thrives on structure and control.
  • Feminine energy connects to creativity and flow.
  • Both energies are essential for avoiding burnout.
  • Ignoring warning signs can lead to serious consequences.
  • Finding balance requires intentionality and awareness.
  • Daily reflection on energy needs can guide actions.
  • Dreaming without action leads to frustration.
  • Connection with others enhances the balance of energies.
  • Life becomes a celebration when both energies dance together.


The Strategy


1. Identify Your Default Energy - which energy do you use the most?

2. Recognise the Signs of Imbalance

  • Masculine overdrive: Burnout. Over-controlling. Feeling disconnected from joy.
  • Feminine overdrive: Procrastination. Ideas without follow-through. Feeling untethered.

3. Balance with Intention - Make space for more of the energy you need to create balanceThe Soul


  1. Where in your life are you pushing so hard that you are not ‘allowing’?
  2. Where are you dreaming without acting?
  3. What would it look like to lead from both your inner masculine and feminine in harmony?


Universal Guidance


The card I pulled for today’s episode is the Three of Cups.

This card is all about connection, harmony, and the celebration that comes when we come together in balance. Traditionally, it represents friendship, sisterhood, and joyful collaboration — but in the context of today’s episode, I see it as a mirror of the masculine and feminine dance we’ve been talking about.

The Three of Cups reminds us that we don’t have to do life alone, or from just one energy. It’s about weaving together the different aspects of ourselves — structure, flow, intuition, action — and letting them celebrate together, like old friends around a table.

It’s also a reminder to receive support. To allow others to pour into us, just as we pour into them. That’s feminine energy in action — receiving with grace — balanced by the masculine energy of giving and holding space.


If you’ve been stuck in overdrive or drifting in uncertainty, this card is a nudge to come back to balance and to connection. Connection with yourself. Connection with others who lift you up. And connection with the energies within you that, when they work together, create not just balance, but joy.

So let this card be your reminder: when your masculine and feminine energies dance together, life doesn’t just flow — it becomes something worth celebrating.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 11 - You are not weird, you are unconventional

The Story


In this episode of 'Becoming No Ordinary Woman', Joanna explores the power of being unconventional. She shares her personal journey of embracing her differences, planning a life of adventure, and encouraging women to pursue their dreams without conforming to societal expectations. Joanna emphasizses the importance of self-belief, transformation, and the need for women to reclaim their unconventionality as a source of strength. Through her reflections and insights, she aims to inspire listeners to live authentically and courageously.


Takeaways


  • Embrace your unconventionality as a source of strength.
  • Reflect on your life choices and intentions regularly.
  • Pursue your dreams regardless of societal expectations.
  • Transformation often requires shedding old identities.
  • You are not alone in your unconventional journey.
  • Define success on your own terms.
  • Celebrate your unique path and experiences.
  • Trust your inner voice and desires.
  • Create a supportive community of like-minded women.
  • Live authentically and courageously.

The Strategy


1 Spot the Conditioning

Ask yourself:

  • Where have I made my desires or dreams feel “too much”?
  • Where have I tried to squeeze into boxes — just to be accepted, understood, or taken seriously?
  • Where have I shrunk myself to avoid being labelled irrational, irresponsible, or in a crisis?
  • Where have I tried to quieten the whisper of my soul?Society has told you your unconventionality is a flaw — when really, it’s your fiercest form of wisdom.


2 Reframe the Narrative

It’s time to shift the story:

From → “Maybe I’m just not wired like other people…”To → “I’m wired for something more aligned, more free, more true.”


3 Own Your Wild Path

What part of your journey would make others raise an eyebrow… but lights you up inside?

Name it. Own it. Write it down.


4 Write Your Own Permission Slip

Give yourself full-bodied permission to:

  • Define your own big dreams
  • Create your own timeline.
  • Define what success means to you.
  • Be misunderstood and still move forward.

And then speak this aloud like a mantra:

“Being unconventional is who I am and that feels fabulous”


The Soul


Here are your journaling prompts for today:

✨ Where in my life have I tried to fit into environments that were never meant for me?✨ What moments of unconventional living have I hidden, downplayed, or felt shame around — and what would it feel like to celebrate them instead?✨ If I stopped trying to be understood… and started fully honouring my soul, what would I allow myself to do next?


The Universal Guidance


As always, I pulled a tarot card for this episode however two cards came out together so I trusted that both needed to be heard. 

And wow — these two came through, loud and clear:

🖤 Death.☀️ The Sun.

Two Major Arcana cards. Two archetypes of transformation.One message: The old must die so the truth of you can rise.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 10 - Your superpowers are not flaws

The Story


In this episode, Joanna discusses the importance of embracing one's superpowers and the journey towards self-acceptance and confidence. She shares her personal experiences and insights on how societal expectations often lead individuals, especially women, to downplay their unique gifts. Joanna provides a four-step process to help listeners reclaim their superpowers and live unapologetically, emphasising that these traits are not flaws but essential parts of one's identity. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that the world needs the authentic self, not a diminished version.


Takeaways

We often shy away from speaking about our gifts.

Being confident about your superpowers isn't arrogance, it's self-confidence.

Superpowers include intuition, emotional intelligence, and seeing potential in others.

Many women feel they need to tone down their gifts to fit in.

The things we are told to quieten down are often our superpowers.

Reclaiming your gifts can lead to empowerment and authenticity.

It's important to show up unapologetically in all aspects of life.

The world needs the real you, not a smaller version.

Your superpowers were given to you on purpose for a purpose.

Life moves in cycles, and it's time to embrace your true self.


The Strategy


1. Name It.

What are the parts of you that you know you’ve been hiding? Call it out and bring them into the light. 


2. Reclaim It.

Write a new story. Rewrite the labels and make them yours. Who gives a stuff what other people think of them?

I

3. Show It.

Choose one place this week to let that part of you be seen. Let her out.


4. Anchor It.

Choose a mantra to root into. Here are two of my favourites:

 “This is who I am — and I’m done apologising for it.”

“My superpowers are XYZ and they are my greatest gift.


The Soul


Here are the journal prompts for this episode:

  • What part of me have I been hiding — and why?
  • Who taught me that my gifts were “too much”?
  • What becomes possible when I stop apologising for my power?


The Universal Guidance:


And the card I pulled today… is The Wheel.

Such a powerful one.

The Wheel is all about cycles, fate, and turning points.
It reminds us that life moves in seasons — and sometimes, the very thing we used to see as a flaw was simply misunderstood in the wrong chapter of our story.

Your ‘too muchness’?
Your wildness?
Your sensitivity?
Your big vision, your bold voice, your deep emotion?

It was never a flaw.
It just wasn’t time yet. Or it wasn’t your people.
But the wheel is turning now.

This card is a message that the time is right to reclaim what you’ve hidden.

To understand that your superpowers were never random.
They were given to you on purpose, for a purpose.
And everything that once made you feel out of place…
Might be the very thing that makes you a leader in this new season.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign…
For permission…
For a cosmic green light…

The Wheel says: it’s time.
The tide is turning in your favour — if you’re willing to rise with it.

This is your invitation to stop circling the edges of your power… and step fully into it.

Becoming No Ordinary Woman
Episode 9 - Why I am grateful I got a 1* review

The Story

 

In this episode of 'Becoming No Ordinary Woman', Joanna delves into the quiet moments that test our courage, particularly in the face of criticism and self-doubt. She shares a personal story about receiving a one-star review for her podcast, which triggers a deep exploration of her past experiences and the shame associated with them. Joanna emphasises the importance of feeling emotions, understanding the stories we tell ourselves, and developing strategies to overcome fear and criticism. She encourages listeners to embrace their flaws and reclaim their power, reminding them that true freedom comes from facing their fears head-on

 

Takeaways

·       The quiet moments of courage often test us the most.

·       Criticism can trigger deep-seated feelings of shame and inadequacy.

·       Past experiences can significantly influence our present behaviour.

·       Visibility in our endeavours comes with risks and rewards.

·       Emotions are meant to be felt and processed, not buried.

·       Understanding our inner critic is crucial for personal growth.

·       Reframing negative experiences can help us move forward.

·       Returning to our 'why' can provide clarity and motivation.

·       Courage is a muscle that strengthens with use.

·       Facing our fears is essential for reclaiming our power.

 

The Strategy

1-     Feel it – Don’t bypass how you feel. Let yourself feel the sting. 

2-     Name it – What story got activated? Is it “I’m not good enough”? “This means I’ve failed”? This is where it is powerful to listen into to what your inner critic is inevitably telling you.

3-     Reframe it – Ask: Is this really about me? Or am I allowing myself to be kept small by someone else’s thoughts, opinions and insecurities.

4-     Return to your why – Anchor back in. In these crunch moments, it is time to remember why you are doing the thing anyway. Why did you start? Who are you doing this for? 

5-     Keep Going Anyway – Courage is a muscle. Every time you show up, you strengthen your resilience. 


The Soul

Here are your journal prompts for this episode:

·       What story do I tell myself when I feel judged or criticised?

·       What would I do if I truly believed I was here to live an extraordinary life and not people please?

·       Who loses out when I stay small to avoid discomfort?


Universal Guidance – The Devil Card

“In the darkness I am free to heal everything.”

This card doesn’t represent evil, it represents the illusions that keep us stuck. The fears, shame, limiting beliefs, and unconscious patterns that quietly run the show in the background. It calls out the ways we give our power away to judgment, to old stories, to unspoken shame, and invites us to reclaim it.

The Devil shines a light on our inner prisons. This card is a reminder that freedom doesn’t come from avoiding the darkness, it comes from facing it. Looking it in the eye and saying: “You don’t get to run my life anymore.”

So if you’re carrying a fear that’s been keeping you quiet, keeping you small, let this card be your invitation to sit with it. Not to judge it. But to see it. To feel it. And to choose differently.

You don’t need to fight your shadows, you just need to walk through them with the light of awareness.

Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t.

Universal Guidance - Page of Pentacles

The card I pulled for today’s episode is the Page of Pentacles — and what a perfect message for this moment.

The Page of Pentacles is the energy of new beginnings, grounded potential, and intentional focus. She invites us to treat our dreams with reverence — not just as hopes, but as things we are actively cultivating.

And what better way to honour what we’re building than to celebrate it as we go?

This card reminds you that your small steps do matter. That every action — every choice, every ritual, every time you show up for your growth — is a seed planted in the soil of your becoming.

Celebration is the sunlight.

So treat yourself as someone who is worthy of joy now — not just when the final harvest comes. The Page of Pentacles says: Celebrate your beginnings like they’re already becoming something beautiful. Because they are.

  • Your mission statement is the compass that moves you in the direction of your big vision.
  • Your values are your navigation system.
  • Being the CEO of your life means you need to make decisions and take action.
  • Celebrate all of the little wins along the way.
  • The life you dream of is possible, but you must lead it into being.

The Strategy

Here are my 5 strategies for becoming the CEO of your life: 

1 Shape your CEO identity -  It is time to claim your identity as the CEO of your life. This is you stepping into the most powerful and impactful leadership role of your life.

2 Shape Your vision – This is the ‘what’ 


When did you last allow yourself to dream? I know that you might be a bit rusty in terms of dreaming big about your own desires so here are three basic questions to get you started: · 

Who do you want to be? · 

What do you want to do? · 

What do you want to have? 

You are the CEO so you can shape this however you want to. 


3 Your mission statement

Now it’s time to write your mission statement. Your mission statement is the short statement that you will use as the compass that moves you in the direction of your big vision. It is the ‘how’ you are going to do something. 

4 – Your values  Your values are your compass. They underpin your leadership identity which is about being authentically you. Your values are your navigation system.

5 – Strategy – Time to take action and be accountable Being the CEO of your life means you need to make decisions and take action.


The Soul

Ask yourself:

  • Where in your life are you still waiting for permission?
  • If you were the CEO of your life, what’s one thing you would stop tolerating?
  • What would your future self — the one who’s living the life you desire — thank you for doing today?
  • If your life was your company… would you promote yourself? Or would you need to make some serious changes?


This shift into personal leadership isn’t about making yourself wrong for what has come before, it’s about honouring the vision that’s been quietly waiting for your attention.


The Universal Guidance - Ten of Pentacles

This is a card of legacy. Of building something meaningful, lasting, and soul-aligned.It’s not about quick wins — it’s about long-term fulfilment.

Episode 6 - The secret to finding your purpose using the LIFE model

The Story

In this episode Joanna explores the concept of purpose, emphasising that it is not a destination to be found but a way of living authentically and fully. She shares her personal journey of discovering her purpose, the challenges she faced, and the framework she developed to help others find their own purpose. The Life Model framework consists of living authentically, making meaningful impact, embracing full self-expression, and finding joy. Joanna encourages listeners to align with their true selves and live in full expression, offering practical insights and a call to action for self-reflection.Takeaways

  • Purpose isn't something that you find, it's something you live.
  • Purpose is feeling useful in your own way.
  • You are here to leave an imprint that only you can
  • Purpose is about Living In Full Expression
  • The LIFE model helps you feel more connected with your purpose


The Strategy

The LIFE model.

L – Living Authentically

You know who you are. And you show up as her.
Not for applause — but for alignment.

I — Impact That’s Meaningful
You feel like you matter.
Not in a saviour kind of way — but in a soul kind of way.

F — Full Self-Expression and Lifelong Growth
You allow yourself to evolve. To try. To become.

E — Enjoyment and Joy
You make space for play. For pleasure. For lightness.
Joy isn’t a luxury — it’s a compass.


Here’s how to check in with the L.I.F.E. model — right now.

Ask yourself these four questions. Score each one out of 10:

1.     I know who I am and show up as myself each day.

2.     I feel like what I do makes a difference.

3.     I’m constantly evolving into my best self.

4.     My life is fun.

Where are you aligned?
Where are you hiding?

Let this be your purpose audit.

When you look at your scores, it will easily show you where you might be out of balance. This is a tool you can revisit regularly to keep on track with how aligned you are with your purpose.

The Soul

Journal on this prompt:

“Where in my life am I performing instead of living in full expression?”

Then, choose one thing today that feels authentic, impactful, expressive, or joyful — and do it.

Spiritual guidance

The card I pulled for this episode is the Seven of Cups — and it couldn’t be more aligned.

This card speaks of many choices, but also confusion.
It reflects that moment when you're bombarded with options, ideas, versions of yourself you could be — and yet feel unable to choose.
Purpose can feel like that.

You ask:
Should I do this job or that one?
Start this business or pivot into something else?
Move here or stay there?

But the truth is...


Clarity doesn’t come from more options, but from deeper alignment.
Not from thinking harder, but from living more fully.
That’s the invitation of the L.I.F.E. model.
To come back to what feels real, resonant, and true.

To Live in Full Expression

Episode 5 - The Power of Unshakeable Identity

The Story

In this episode, Joanna explores the concept of unshakeable identity, sharing her personal journey and the lessons learned from losing her identity multiple times. She emphasises the importance of building an identity rooted in personal values, superpowers, and purpose, rather than external roles or expectations. Joanna also addresses the common experience of imposter syndrome and offers strategies for overcoming it. The episode concludes with a reflection on the profound opportunity that arises from moments of identity crisis, encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves.

Key Takeaways

  • Our identity is critical to how we show up for ourselves.
  • Identity should not be shaped by roles or responsibilities.
  • When your identity is built from within, you become unshakable.
  • Values are your inner compass that guide your life.
  • Your superpowers are unique gifts that define you.
  • Purpose is a way of being, not just a role.
  • Imposter syndrome is a narrative that can be changed.
  • An unshakable identity gives freedom to be yourself.
  • Building identity from within leads to true empowerment.
  • Moments of unraveling can reveal your true identity.





Six ways to create an Unshakeable Identity:

1.     Name your values. Your values are the compass for who you are. Start there.

2.     Spot the superpowers. What are you naturally brilliant at? Ask people you trust. Reflect on moments when you felt fully alive. These are clues.

3.     Track your triggers. Triggers often reveal where you’ve outsourced your worth. Notice where you feel reactive or not-enough — and ask, “What identity am I defending here?”

4.     Craft your new identity statement. Try this prompt: I am a woman who... (e.g. “I am a woman who leads herself powerfully. Who chooses truth over approval. Who lives in alignment.”)

5.     Practice being her. Embodiment is everything. Ask yourself each morning: How would the most aligned version of me show up today?

6.     Anchor the new self. Find a piece of music that symbolises your Unshakeable identity. Play it loud and play it often. My Unshakeable Identity anthem is Katy Perry Roar.


The Soul - Journal prompts

• Where have you allowed external roles or expectations to define who you are?
• Who are you beyond the titles, the achievements, the roles you play?
• What are the 3 core values that truly define you — even if everything else were stripped away?
• What parts of you have you hidden to stay “safe,” “liked,” or “approved of”?
• What would it feel like to build your identity from within — based on truth, not performance?


Universal Guidance – Ten of Swords

The card I pulled for this episode is the Ten of Swords — a card that speaks of endings, rock bottom, and the deep pain that comes when an old version of ourselves dies off.

This can feel brutal. It’s the collapse of everything you thought made you you — the roles, the achievements, the identity you built to survive or succeed. But this card isn’t just about pain — it’s about the profound opportunity that lives within that ending.

The Ten of Swords reminds us that sometimes, your unshakeable identity isn’t built — it’s revealed… when everything else falls away.

It’s in those moments when you feel like you’ve lost everything that your truth rises. Not the version of you shaped by others’ expectations — but the version that comes from deep within.

If you're in a moment of unraveling, this card is your reminder:
💫 The worst is behind you.
💫 The sun is rising.
💫 This is the beginning of your return to yourself.
