Playing The Fool
Welcome to the PLAYING THE FOOL Podcast, I am your host Jarna Saunders.
I am a proud as fuck Life and Relationship Coach and personal development nerd, with a HUGE passion to get every single woman in the arena of their own lives.
I have over 10 years’ experience coaching 100's of women and couples.
I've been where you may be right now: for years I sat on the side-lines of my life, stuck in fear, in my head, in the past of that ONE TIME I was put back in my corner and I let it cripple me with fear.
That was until one day when the PAIN of staying hidden was too much to take and I made the choice to get my butt in the ARENA of MY OWN life.
To take the risk of looking like a beginner, looking silly and GOD forbid looking like a FOOL.
My promise to you is to show up here in all my parts and seasons with my heart proudly on my sleeve, gate keeping nothing but asking us all to WALK OUR GOD DAM ARSES out of the corners we were never born to exist in.
Let's Play.

Episode 11: Facing the Storm: Building Emotional Safety and Connection in Your Relationship.
In this heartfelt and practical episode, we deep dive into one of the most powerful skills you can develop in a relationship - learning to walk in and FACE the storm of your relationship instead of avoiding it. I share my own experiences with Shane, my husband of 15 years, and the lessons we’ve learned about adult communication, emotional safety, and breaking the cycle of avoidance that can turn small disagreements and triggers into hurricanes.
You’ll hear real coaching insights, a simple yet profound “storm” metaphor, and tangible ways to address tension in the moment so you can dissolve it before resentment builds and come back to love.
No matter what your relationship or life looks like, this episode will help you to communicate with courage, meet each other in the “I’m okay, you’re okay” space, and turn moments of conflict into opportunities for closeness.
If you are a parent this is a must listen too.
