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.
Playing The Fool
Episode 17: Repeat After Me: "if it is to be its up to me", Say it even louder babe, "IF IT IS TO BE IT'S UP TO ME".
This week in the Heart of the bar, I’ve been reflecting on human needs and what it really means to take radical responsibility for our lives. For me, that looks like choosing myself again and again, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it hurts.
In this episode, I share the very real and humbling story of picking up a little pink 2kg dumbbell, wobbling through lunges, and waking up so sore I could barely sit down. What surprised me was how much joy and pride came with that pain, because it reminded me: I started.
Here’s what I dive into:
✨ How I shifted from victim consciousness into empowerment
✨ The lessons I’ve learned about strength,both physical and emotional
✨ What it feels like to be a beginner again and how I worked through self-judgment
✨ Why soreness in our muscles mirrors the discomfort of emotional healing work
✨ How taking even the smallest steps creates massive change
This episode is a love note to starting again. To choosing yourself. To remembering that even when it feels messy, awkward, or painful, you’re building something powerful.
Because pain doesn’t mean you’re failing. It often means you’re growing.
