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

Epsidoe 22: Armoring Down: Divorce, Forgiveness and the Art of Letting Go.

November 13, 2025 • Jarna Saunders

This week’s episode is a really emotional one for me. As I sat down to record, I had the tissues ready because, honestly, I could barely get through it without crying.

My son, Will, turned 21 on Sunday and with that milestone came a flood of memories, emotions, and truths I’ve been sitting with for a long time.

I wanted to share what it’s been like to look back on my journey as a first-time mum, the choices I made when I was still learning how to be an adult myself, and the reality of what it means to do your best when you don’t even know who you are yet.

This isn’t a shiny, polished story - it’s raw and real. It’s about the parts of motherhood that are hard to talk about, the moments we wish we could redo, and the courage it takes to sit with the truth.
If you’ve ever looked back and felt the sting of guilt or wished you’d done things differently, please know — you’re not alone. This episode is for every parent doing their best, learning, healing, and letting go.

If you found comfort or courage in this episode, please share it with another parent who might need to hear it.
