When Ingrid Broussillon moved from Guadeloupe to Vancouver, she couldn’t find a space to practice English in a fun, confidence-building way. So she created one. In this episode, Ingrid shares how she transformed a personal need into Griottes Polyglottes Scty and The WoW Culture — a nonprofit and a business using improv and play to help people find their voice. We talk about her journey from side hustle to full-time entrepreneurship, the sacrifices she made along the way, and the habits that keep her grounded today.

• Solving your own problem can spark a business idea that resonates with others.
• Improv and role play can build confidence far beyond language learning — from public speaking to tackling discrimination.
• Pivoting during challenging times, like the pandemic, can open unexpected opportunities.
• Staying authentic in business helps attract the right audience and community.
• Extreme focus and sacrifice can be necessary in the early stages, but sustainable habits matter for long-term growth.
• Simple routines — like listening to motivational content in the morning and practicing gratitude at night — can help maintain momentum.

Founder, Griottes Polyglottes Scty & The WoW Culture

Born in Guadeloupe, Ingrid Broussillon grew up with a love for storytelling. After studying Business Management in France and training as an actress, she moved to Vancouver in 2017 to improve her English. Unable to find a fun, performance-based way to practice, she launched Griottes Polyglottes in 2018, using improvisation and theater games to build confidence. Her work has since expanded into workshops on public speaking, job interviews, and addressing racism and unconscious bias — all grounded in the belief that learning should be both fun and impactful.

Operations consultant Grace Doyle joins Juliette to unpack the tension busy founders feel between serving their business and taking care of themselves.

Drawing on her journey from COO to solo consultant, Grace explains how tiny, repeatable systems (in business and life) clear the mental clutter that leads to overwhelm, paralysis, and burnout.

The conversation ranges from workflow audits and money mindsets to Grace’s 20-day “75-day” self-care experiment—showing that robust systems are really about self-compassion, not cold efficiency.

• Audit before you automate. Mapping every step of a recurring workflow almost always reveals extra clicks, duplicated tasks, or “legacy” steps no one can justify.
• Creatives feel overwhelm + paralysis first. Grace’s clients—photographers, designers, content creators—can envision the finish line but freeze on the how; filling that gap is her sweet spot.
• Boundaries fuel performance. When Grace prioritises sleep, movement, and connection she becomes a stronger partner, consultant, and “dog-mum”.
• Micro-saving still counts. Grace kept contributing as little as $50 while living off savings; the habit mattered more than the amount.
• Structure can be compassionate. Her gentler spin on the 75 Hard challenge (two workouts, no Uber Eats, 2 L of water) is a “follow-through” muscle, not a punishment.

Enjoy the episode—and remember that the best “operations system” often starts with taking care of the operator (you)!

Grace Doyle is an Ottawa-based operations strategist and former COO of an 80-person, multi-brand design company. Through her consultancy, Ops by Grace, she helps creative female founders replace overwhelm with streamlined systems, and actionable workflows so they can scale sustainably and still savour the life they’re building.

Holistic‑wellness advocate Reema Rachel Khithani shares the decade‑long journey behind The Hira Collective, an ethically vetted marketplace that now features 27 practitioners and a thriving events calendar.

She explains how multiple false‑starts, workplace setbacks, and personal grief taught her to slow down, honour self‑care rituals, and let the business unfold “on its own timeline.”

Reema also unpacks the Collective’s rigorous 17 % acceptance rate, her morning gratitude‑and‑earthing routine, and the money‑mindset work that’s redefining how she funds growth.

Listeners will learn why trusting your path, building community before marketing, and protecting practitioner‑client integrity are cornerstones of sustainable success.

• Timelines can stretch, and that’s okay. Reema paused two planned launches after workplace trauma, proving a healthy founder beats a hurried rollout.
• Daily self‑care fuels longevity. Her 90‑minute morning stack, Five‑Minute Journal, meditation, tapping, prayer, incense, phone‑free nature walk, keeps her grounded and creative.
• Ethical vetting is non‑negotiable. Only 17 % of 250+ practitioner applicants make it onto the platform, with continuous re‑evaluation to protect clients.
• Community > conventional marketing. Word‑of‑mouth from happy practitioners now drives new applications—proof that depth beats virality.
• Rewrite your money story. Courses like Money EQ help her shift from scarcity to partnership with money, funding growth from a place of respect.

Reema is an Ontario‑based educator turned wellness entrepreneur who spent ten years envisioning a hub where holistic practitioners could honour ancestral roots and serve clients ethically. Drawing on her grandparents’ teachings, classroom experience, and equity work, she launched The Hira Collective on April 4, 2025. In its first 12 weeks the platform earned “impact startup” recognition at Vancouver’s Web Summit and logged 90+ bookings while maintaining its strict vetting standards.

In this highlight‑reel episode, Juliette revisits four fan‑favourite Wheel of Life spins. Each guest lands on a surprise wellness prompt and answers straight from the heart—covering everything from what success really feels like, to knowing when to rest or move, to the small money habits that build lasting security. It’s 30 minutes of rapid‑fire insight, laughter and permission to pause and ask yourself the very same questions.

• Success is self‑defined. Let go of external scorecards and check in with how life feels day to day.
• Your body whispers first. Notice patterns: low mood or tightness may be a cue for gentle movement; deep fatigue asks for rest.
• Celebrate tiny wins. Rituals of celebration create momentum and connection.
• Track emotional patterns around money. Awareness turns reaction into intentional choice.
• Automatic transfers are freedom. Paying yourself first builds financial safety with almost no effort.

In this calming and honest conversation, I sat down with Jothi whose presence alone feels like a deep exhale.

We talked about what it means to hold space for others without forgetting yourself, how to follow your intuition even when it’s uncomfortable, and ways to tap into wellness that don’t cost a thing.

If you’ve been craving more connection, softness, and permission to just be—this one’s for you.

• Your intuition is worth listening to—especially when something feels off.
• Wellness doesn’t have to mean expensive memberships. Nature, your breath, and a chat with a soul-friend can do wonders.
• We serve best from overflow. Fill your cup first.
• Community care and self-care go hand in hand.
• Setting boundaries can be an act of love—for yourself and others.
• You’re allowed to slow down, celebrate small things, and enjoy where you are right now.

With over 15 years of experience in the wellness space, Jothi blends science, spirituality, and soul in a way that’s both deeply intuitive and fully rooted. She’s a trauma-informed guide who leads through a decolonized lens—creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported just as you are.

Her work is a beautiful blend of somatic healing, ancestral wisdom, neuroscience, quantum principles, and creativity. But at its core, it’s about helping you reconnect with your truth—gently and powerfully. Whether you’re moving through something heavy or just feeling a little off, Jothi holds space for your full self to rise.

In this soulful episode, Juliette sits down with Mel Charles—DEI consultant, end-of-life doula, and professional tarot reader—for a conversation about finding your own voice, redefining success, and weaving spirituality into real-world impact. Mel shares her journey from childhood dreams of broadcasting to creating Nubian Divinity, a multi-faceted practice centered on equity, intuition, and community. Together, they unpack what it means to not have the answers—and why that’s exactly where the magic begins.

• Mel transitioned from wanting to be a talk-show host to becoming a healer and guide through Nubian Divinity.
• Her work blends tarot reading, DEI consulting, and end-of-life care—each with a focus on community and self-trust.
• Spirituality, for Mel, is a tool to reconnect with your own voice, not to provide external answers.
• Listening to your intuition can be a radical act of self-liberation, especially when society trains us to look outward.
• Entrepreneurship can feel lonely—community support and boundaries are key.
• Social media can blur the lines between inspiration and burnout. Intentional content consumption matters.
• Money can be a tool for impact when used to fund accessible and purpose-driven work.

Mel Charles is the founder of Nubian Divinity, a practice that combines tarot reading, DEI consulting, and end-of-life care. With over 1,000 readings under her belt, a background in communications and journalism, Mel’s work centers around helping people reconnect with themselves and their communities. Her philosophy? She’s not here to give you the answers—she’s here to help you hear your own.

This episode is for the entrepreneur who’s done pretending, done doubting—and ready to show up fully.

• What the Meisner technique teaches about truth, listening, and dropping ego
• How Robyn rebuilt her confidence after trusting the wrong business partner
• The surprising connection between acting and entrepreneurship

In this honest and refreshing conversation, Juliette sits down with coach-in-the-making and podcast host Priya Patel to talk about what it really feels like to start something new.

From letting go of fixed five-year plans to figuring out whether your body needs movement or rest, Priya shares her journey of redefining success, navigating self-doubt, and taking tiny baby steps through the unknown.

This episode feels like two calm, grounded girlfriends swapping stories — and reminders that you don’t need all the answers to keep moving forward.

• You don’t need to have a five-year plan to make progress — tiny baby steps are enough.
• Losing a job can be a powerful catalyst for inner work and reevaluating what success means.
• Nervous system regulation and somatic practices (like breathwork) help clear mental “dust” and deepen clarity.
• Redefining success starts with tuning in: “Does this feel joyful and authentic?”
• Walking — even at a normal pace — can increase stamina and improve mental clarity.
• We all negotiate with ourselves about rest vs. movement — and that’s part of the process.
• A “balanced life” might not be a destination, but a feeling of flow you learn to recognize.

Priya Patel is based in London and currently working on building her coaching practice after completing a coaching certification. She’s the host of the podcast I Wish I Knew That Earlier, where she interviews guests about the life lessons they’ve learned along the way. Calm, grounded, and curious, Priya is deeply committed to personal growth, nervous system work, and having honest conversations about what it means to start over.
