204: The Journey Home - 5 Years of Healing, Creating & Becoming

This one’s personal.Today’s not only my 51st birthday… it’s also the 5th birthday of Goals With Soul 🥳What started as a leap of faith in December 2020 (in the chaos of a pandemic, no less) has become one of the most soul-nourishing parts of my business - and life.I’ve released over 200 episodes, interviewed incredible experts, and built a space that I’m genuinely proud of and this podcast now ranks in the top 1.5% of global podcasts. But this episode isn’t about the accolades.It’s about the journey. The detours. The dips. The unexpected lessons.And the inner growth that’s been way more powerful than anything I could’ve planned.In this birthday reflection, I’m sharing:💫 Why I stepped into 2025 choosing to feel good first - no matter what💫 How wild swimming, pottery (yes, bowls for everyone!), and improv have shifted my energy💫 The surprising realisation I had in improv class that smacked me between the eyes💫 What judgment really has to do with vulnerability - and how I’m learning to let go💫 A simple daily practice I’m using to soften perfectionism and build more self-love💫 What’s next … including my plans for a skydive, a break from podcasting, and a very special trip with my sisterWhether you’ve been here from episode 1 or just found your way to this podcast recently, I’m so grateful you’re listening.And if you’re navigating a season of growth, transition, or learning to be kinder to yourself - this one’s especially for you.Enjoying the show?Make sure you hit subscribe, and if you’ve got a sec, leaving a review helps more soulful women discover this work.Connect with Joanna IngramWebsite: joannaingram.comInstagram: @‌iamjo.ingram
