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.

Acting coach Robyn Kay joins Juliette for a powerful conversation on what it really means to be yourself—on stage, in business, and in life.

From rebuilding self-trust after failure to using the Meisner technique to drop performance and connect for real, Robyn offers lessons that hit home for any woman building a purpose-driven business.

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

• Why self-trust is built by keeping promises to yourself
• 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.

Trauma is something most of us have experienced, whether we realize it or not. In this episode, Holistic Trauma Recovery Coach and Bestselling Author Liz Blanding shares powerful insights on what trauma really is, why healing is our responsibility, and how we can take control of our recovery. Liz opens up about her personal journey through trauma, the impact of unprocessed emotions, and how emotional intelligence plays a key role in healing.

Takeaways

• Trauma is more common than we think: even experiences like job loss or relationship struggles can leave a lasting impact.
• Healing is a choice: while we can’t control what happened to us, we are responsible for how we move forward.

In this episode, Juliette shares a counterintuitive idea: that learning, while seemingly productive, can often hold us back. She explores how excessive consumption of information can create a false sense of progress, overwhelm us, and ultimately prevent us from taking meaningful action.

Instead of staying trapped in an endless cycle of learning, she shares practical strategies to shift towards execution, overcome procrastination, and build habits that lead to real results.

Takeaways:

• Learning can provide a false sense of progress, making us feel like we’re achieving something when we aren’t taking real action.
• Overconsumption of information can lead to overwhelm and inaction, making tasks feel harder than they actually are.
• Small, actionable steps are key—mastering the basics before advancing helps prevent burnout and ensures sustainable progress.
• Mindset is critical: rewiring your thinking towards action rather than passive learning is the first step to real change.
• Accountability, whether through a friend, a coach, or structured environments, can help push you past procrastination.
• Movement and energy shifts (such as music and exercise) can be leveraged to create momentum.
• Discomfort is a natural part of growth—embracing it can help you push through resistance and take meaningful steps toward your goals.

Meet Juliette Fiszka: Juliette is a passionate advocate for personal development, experimentation, and action-oriented living. She explores the psychology of motivation and productivity, sharing insights from her own experiences in breaking free from the learning trap and taking tangible steps toward her aspirations.

Resources Mentioned:

• DEXA Scan for body fat measurement
• Red light therapy for skincare
• Supplements and the importance of blood tests before taking them
• Accountability strategies (working with a friend, hiring a coach, etc.)
• Using movement and music to boost energy and productivity

Final Thoughts: Juliette challenges listeners to break free from passive learning and shift towards action. Next time you learn something, ask yourself: How will I apply this immediately? Because true progress doesn’t come from knowledge alone—it comes from doing.
