In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down Jennia Herold D'Lima, one of the most joyful people I have met.  Jennia is shining in her life and a big part of her radiance comes from the love she has for her work. But Jennia had to make a tough decision when she was 30 to make a complete career shift from Bookkeeper/CPA to Book Editor. Today Jennia D'Lima!  Jennia's story is an important one because so many of us stay stuck in decisions we made because we fear what other people will think of us. We wonder if we are being reckless or should "tough it out a little longer". If you have this feeling of dread as you go to work every day (just like Jennia did) then this podcast is for you! Jennia's story is a true testament to the joy we can find when we honour our NO and Say Yes to our YES! Tune in and let’s get inspired to trust our intuition, embrace the unknown, and create a life that feels truly aligned.

Today’s episode is a sensitive topic and one that truly needs to be discussed. In this episode, Anne courageously and honestly shares her journey of healing after sexual assault she experienced and how her intuition helped guide her to the healing she needed. She highlights the importance and purpose of healing, a journey many of us are scared to embark on. She reminds us how anxiety can show up in the body and why our brain associates the “bad” and scary feeling of that anxiety as a danger zone to step into, when truly those feelings are guide posts to the healing that needs to take place. We all have a past that has affected us in some way, that requires de-conditioning and healing, yet the idea of going deep into past pain can be something that paralyzes us. May Anne’s story inspire you to embark on your own healing journey so that you can experience the freedom and peace that you deserve. If you are a victim of sexual assault, we encourage you to reach out to someone and get the support you need. Below are some resources that Anne has shared to support the healing journey related to sexual assault: Joyful heart foundation: https://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/learn/sexual-assault-and-rape/resources/survivors National Sexual Violence Resource Center: https://www.nsvrc.org/  Organizations that have directly helped Anne:Veteran Yoga Project: https://veteransyogaproject.org/Suicide and Crisis Lifeline – #988 📝 Show Notes: https://jenniferjaneyoung.com/my-intuition-made-me-do-it-anne-hall/

Let’s talk about taking bold action for a moment! This episode is all about having the courage to trust your gut, even when it involves the fear of FOMO (fear of missing out). Becky Mollenkamp shows us how focusing on what truly matters to your heart can bring BIG success. When Becky knew that she wanted to work with entrepreneurs who care deeply about equity, social justice and who are challenging capitalist norms in their own businesses, she also knew that she would need to make big changes in her own business. This came with the fear of losing clients, subscribers and getting some backlash, but that didn’t stop her. Although the transition was bumpy and uncomfortable, her intuition led her directly to doing the high impact work that her soul was ready for.  This story is one of courage and clarity, something so many of us dream of having. May it inspire you to take your next leap, even if it feels terrifying. Becky’s story is proof that it’s all worth it! 📝 Show notes: https://jenniferjaneyoung.com/my-intuition-made-me-do-it-becky-mollenkamp/ Follow Becky here: Website Substack Instagram Linkedin

Raquel's story is a perfect example of how we can live intuitively without being reckless. Although she took big leaps like moving to NYC from Columbia with NO job, she continually checked in with herself and her nervous system to make sure she was respecting her boundaries and giving herself what she needed in each moment. On top of moving to NYC and starting an incredibly success business in the arts world, collaborating with artists' estates for commercial opportunities, Raquel put herself out there in the dating world to find her future husband even though she was scared. She got really clear on her needs, desires and boundaries and took the leap.  She found her match, went on one date (stocked him before going - like a smart woman would do lol) and a few years later, they were married!  The most important lesson that Raquel learned was to never say yes because you are scared of missing out on something. Make sure it's a true, full body YES and it feels right to you. 📝 Show notes: https://jenniferjaneyoung.com/my-intuition-made-me-do-it-raquel-serebrenik/ Follow Raquel here: Website Linkedin

Veronica Drake's story is one of Divine intervention. Although she felt that her life was no longer worth living, her guides felt differently and intervened in a way that made Veronica completely shift her perception.  Chills went through my spine as I heard Veronica describe how, after one life-changing event, she went from complete despair to deep purpose. This is one episode where I broke down in tears because I was so deeply touched. I have experienced firsthand Veronica's intuitive gifts, and they are quite astonishing.  May this episode remind you of the gifts that are awaiting you in your life and the deep healing and transformation that can happen in those darker moments! 📝 Show notes: https://jenniferjaneyoung.com/my-intuition-made-me-do-it-veronica-drake/  Follow Veronica here: Website Linkedin Instagram Facebook

Who doesn't melt for a romantic eat, pray love story? Well, this is one of those heart-melting stories, only with olive oil and an inspiring Italian family. Ciccio's olive oil was a well-kept secret until Laura, their daughter-in-law, took a taste of it.

Laura's story is one many of us have dreamed of experiencing. It's inspiring, romantic and so beautiful to see how she helped honour their family's legacy.

This week's episode made me go to NYC to meet my guest Delphine Breye in person! This interview is probably one of the most special ones of the seasons and here's why: I was so inspired by Delphine that I went to meet her in person in NYC and celebrated my birthday with her. See clips in the interview that led to this meet up! I made a dear friend. We made a bilingual podcast - One English Version and one French version (below) - completely intuitively and out of the blue. This is the kind of magic that happens when you follow your intuition. I was personally re-inspired in so many ways by this incredible woman who is like an angel in human form, sprinkling beauty and love all around the world. Delphine Breyne was a successful model in France, living an abundant life with her partner at the time, in a big house with all the things you could imagine that comes with success. But one day, Delphine woke up and knew it wasn't enough. She knew she had a deeper purpose in the world and the life she was living (glamour and all) was not in alignment. She trusted her gut, took the leap, left her 16 year relationship, sold and gave away all her belongings, transitioned out of a successful career and headed to Miami. Like any intuitive leap, Delphine's story reminds us that when we follow our inner voice, we land in beautiful places, even if the transition there is a bit messy and scary at times. Her story is full of divine moments and inspiring lessons. Delphine now lives in NYC with her rescue pup Pandora, works in her studio "Paris in New York" in front of Central Park and flys to Miami on weekends to hang out at the beach with Pandora in her appartment. If you are feeling weighed down by the world right now, confused about your next step, feeling not enough, like you're never going to make it or simply seeking that next inspiration in your life, this episode will be so healing for you!  I'm so honoured to call Delphine a friend and to share her incredible story with you. May she brighten your life like she did for me.

L’épisode de cette semaine m’a amenée à me rendre à New York pour rencontrer mon invitée Delphine Breye en personne ! Cette interview est probablement l’une des plus spéciales de la saison et voici pourquoi : Delphine m’a tellement inspirée que je suis allée la rencontrer en personne à New York et que j’ai fêté mon anniversaire avec elle. Découvrez les extraits de l’interview qui ont conduit à cette rencontre ! Je me suis fait une amie très chère. Nous avons créé un podcast bilingue – une version anglaise et une version française (ci-dessous) – de manière totalement intuitive et inattendue. C’est le genre de magie qui se produit lorsque vous suivez votre intuition. J’ai été personnellement réinspirée à bien des égards par cette femme incroyable qui est comme un ange sous forme humaine, répandant la beauté et l’amour dans le monde entier. Delphine Breyne était un mannequin à succès en France, vivant une vie abondante avec son partenaire de l’époque, dans une grande maison avec tout ce que l’on peut imaginer qui vient avec le succès. Mais un jour, Delphine s’est réveillée et a compris que ce n’était pas suffisant. Elle savait qu’elle avait un but plus profond dans le monde et que la vie qu’elle menait (glamour et tout) n’était pas alignée. Elle a fait confiance à son instinct, a franchi le pas, a quitté une relation de 16 ans, a vendu et donné tous ses biens, a abandonné une carrière florissante et s’est rendue à Miami. Comme tout saut intuitif, l’histoire de Delphine nous rappelle que lorsque nous suivons notre voix intérieure, nous atterrissons dans des endroits magnifiques, même si la transition est parfois un peu désordonnée et effrayante. Son histoire est pleine de moments divins et de leçons inspirantes. Delphine vit maintenant à New York avec sa chienne Pandora, travaille dans son studio “Paris in New York” en face de Central Park et s’envole pour Miami le week-end pour passer du temps à la plage avec Pandora dans son appartement. Si vous vous sentez accablé par le monde en ce moment, si vous ne savez pas quelle est votre prochaine étape, si vous ne vous sentez pas à la hauteur, si vous avez l’impression que vous n’y arriverez jamais ou si vous êtes simplement à la recherche d’une nouvelle inspiration dans votre vie, cet épisode vous apportera une grande guérison ! Je suis très honorée d’avoir Delphine comme amie et de partager son incroyable histoire avec vous. Puisse-t-elle illuminer votre vie comme elle l’a fait pour moi. afficher les notes 📝 https://jenniferjaneyoung.com/my-intuition-made-me-do-it-delphine-breyne/

If you don't believe in magic, you will after this episode! Deborah's story is FULL of intuitive magic and proof that our intuition is always trying to lead us to what we are meant to experience in our lives. Although this is a story with a very happy ending, Deborah went through her share of hardship and confusion. On the other side of it was a newfound relationship with herself and a deeper connection to her intuition.  Deborah not only walks us through this very intriguing and exciting journey that her intuition led her on, she also shares a SUPER fun tool you can use to confirm if it's really your intuition guiding you. It's practical and it works (I tried it several times). Get the popcorn because sitting down with Deborah is like watching an amazing movie that keeps you on your toes until the end.

You’ve built the thing: the business, the relationship, the friendship. It’s successful but one day you wake up and it no longer feels aligned. It no longer fulfills you, brings you joy or lights you up. You know something is missing and your intuition is leading you to something else now. You are filled with guilt for wanting to abandon ship, terrified to take the step forward out of what is and into what could be.  This is Karlyn’s story! It is filled with bravery, courage and lessons on how we can give ourselves permission to switch gears or change paths when our intuition is so clearly guiding us to do so. You will be inspired to honour the situation that no longer feels aligned for what it taught you, where it brought you and courageously step into the new experience that awaits you!
