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 40: You Can't "Shame Yourself" to Brave.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Playing The Fool, I’m reflecting on turning 45, entering the next season of life, and the emotional shifts that have come with it.
My eldest son has officially moved out of home, and while I’m incredibly happy for him, it’s also brought up so many feelings and new beginnings.
I feel like for a while I have been holding my breathe but between turning 45, being five years away from 50, and moving into what numerology calls a “four year,” it honestly feels like "go time".
In this episode we talk about the renewed energy I’m feeling around my work, my purpose, and my desire to reach more people with the message and tools that have completely transformed my own life and relationships.
I also share a vulnerable story about a recent dentist appointment that triggered one of my biggest fears - needles and dental work - and the powerful realization that came from it:
You cannot shame yourself into courage.
This conversation is all about the ways we shame ourselves into trying to become “better,” more confident, more brave, more successful and why that approach actually disconnects us further from ourselves.
If you come to these episodes, nod your head the whole way through with squeals of "Yes Jarna, Yes", then maybe it's time for you and I to work together babe.
Whether it’s emotional safety, communication, self-trust, or creating healthier relationships, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
