S5 Ep 220CLIFF BEACH: Part 2 - Music, Meaning & the Truth About Creative Living
Welcome to Wake Up! with Joni, the podcast where embodied consciousness meets leadership through awareness — awakening lived, not theorized. In this second conversation with Cliff Beach, we go deeper into the intersection of creativity, leadership, identity, and conscious living. Cliff is an author, entrepreneur, leadership expert, and accomplished musician whose journey spans boardrooms, stages, and profound inner transformation. In this episode, we explore how music shaped the man he became—and how leadership refined his creative expression. This conversation is a powerful reflection on: Creativity as a spiritual and energetic practice The truth about identity vs. expression Conscious leadership and self-awareness Integration over balance in modern life Why alignment—not approval—is the real success Cliff shares how growing up in a deeply musical and spiritual environment shaped his worldview—and how embracing both discipline and devotion allowed him to live in alignment with his purpose. This is more than a conversation about music. It's about who you are when you stop performing—and start living from truth. 🎧 Connect with Cliff Beach: Music + Socials: @clbeachmusic 📘 Explore more: Joni's book: Stop. Look. Choose.

What if the biggest thing holding you back… is something you cannot see? In this powerful episode of Wake Up! with Joni, leadership expert Will Steel shares how hidden beliefs, unconscious patterns, and unspoken stories quietly shape your results in leadership, relationships, and life.

S5 Ep 219KRIS LAND: Are We Souls Playing a Game on Earth? + AI, Consciousness & Creation + Quantum Consciousness
What if life on Earth is a game? In this mind-expanding conversation, Joni sits down with technology pioneer Kris Land to explore one of the most fascinating intersections of our time: artificial intelligence, human consciousness, and the possibility that we are far more powerful than we realize. With decades of experience in the technology world—including work at the dawn of personal computing—Kris brings a rare perspective that bridges science, spirituality, and philosophy. Together, they explore: • Why Kris believes the soul may be a player in a cosmic game • The three goals that pulled him out of early depression • Four powerful questions that change how you think about the soul • The hidden purpose of fear and doubt in human life • Whether AI could reach sentient intelligence within a decade • Why leaders must evolve internally as technology accelerates • The surprising connection between AI and human awakening Kris also shares a fascinating framework from his book The Infinity Within about the rules of the "game of Earth," and how paying attention to life's small "coincidences" may actually be the key to remembering who we truly are. If you've ever wondered about consciousness, purpose, or the future of humanity in an AI-driven world—this episode will expand your thinking.

S5 Ep 220PATTY AUBERY: From Secretary to a Billion-Dollar Brand - Patty Aubrey on Building Chicken Soup for the Soul and A Life Time of Choosing the Challenge
From answering a classified ad to helping build one of the most recognizable personal development brands in the world… In this episode of Wake Up! with Joni, I sit down with visionary entrepreneur and bestselling author Patty Aubery. Patty began her career as a secretary for Jack Canfield and went on to become President of Chicken Soup for the Soul, helping grow it into a global phenomenon with hundreds of titles and hundreds of millions of books sold. But Patty's story isn't just about business success. It's about visibility, courage, asking for what you want, and learning to stop hiding your gifts. In this candid conversation we explore: How a $25,000 goal changed the trajectory of Patty's life The behind-the-scenes story of building the Chicken Soup empire Why so many women stay invisible—even after massive success The power of asking for help and surrounding yourself with truth tellers How habits and self-talk quietly shape the life we live Why success is measured in experiences, relationships, and contribution—not just money Patty also shares the promise she made to her mother on her deathbed—to stop hiding and show up fully—and how that moment reshaped the work she does today.

S5 Ep 218BLAISE KENNEDY: Everything Exists Within Consciousness + Embodying Coherence
In this expansive episode of Wake Up with Joni, I sit down with Blaise Kennedy to explore a radical and transformative idea: What if everything exists within your consciousness — rather than you existing inside a world "out there"? Blaise's work invites us beyond spiritual concepts and into lived realization. We discuss what it means to experience the body as the center of reality, how coherence between inner and outer life becomes a spiritual practice, and why curiosity may be the most powerful doorway to awakening. This conversation is not about escaping the human experience — it's about inhabiting it more fully. If you've ever felt the tension between what you know spiritually and how you live daily, this episode will meet you there. ✨ In This Episode We Explore: The shift from intellectual spirituality to embodied realization Why the body is not separate from consciousness What "coherence" actually looks like in daily life How awakening changes relationships and purpose A grounded way to begin living as awareness now 🔗 Connect with Blaise Kennedy Website: www.blaisekennedy.com/media-podcasts/wakeup 🌿 Work With Joni Website: https://wakeupwithjoni.com Book a Complimentary Coaching Call: https://calendly.com/wakeupwithjonicoaching/30min 📖 STOP LOOK CHOOSE: Your Journey to Peace and Freedom In STOP LOOK CHOOSE, I guide you through the sacred pause — the space between stimulus and response — where true freedom lives.

S5 Ep 217ZACH RODRIGUEZ: From Navy Helicopter Crash to Financial Awakening + Money, Meaning & Time
🎧 From Navy Helicopter Crash to Financial Awakening Zach Rodriguez on Money, Meaning & Time What happens when a helicopter crash becomes a spiritual wake-up call? In this powerful episode of Wake Up! with Joni, I sit down with Zach Rodriguez, former Navy pilot and founder of Outlive Financial Planning (https://outlivefinancial.com), to explore the intersection of money, time, health, and conscious living. Six months into his first operational tour, Zach survived a crash landing on an aircraft carrier. He walked away physically intact—but something internally shifted. That moment planted a truth: Life is fragile. Time is nonrenewable. From there, Zach began asking deeper questions: What are we working so hard for? What does success actually mean? How do we build wealth without sacrificing presence? How do we live well now and still prepare for the future? In this episode, we explore: ✨ The "golden handcuffs" trap ✨ Future-focused overachievers & delayed gratification ✨ Money as life energy ✨ Financial habits in your 30s & 40s ✨ The three-bucket method (Now, Mid-Term, Future) ✨ Money scripts from childhood ✨ Wealth inequality, inflation & the K-shaped economy ✨ Why health is as important as wealth ✨ How to define success beyond dollars This conversation is about freedom—not just financial freedom, but conscious freedom. 🔗 Connect with Zach Website: https://outlivefinancial.com 📘 Go Deeper with Me My book: STOP LOOK CHOOSE: Your Journey to Peace and Freedom Available wherever books are sold.

In this episode, we go beyond corporate strategy and into what truly transforms leaders from the inside out. We explore: The six points of consciousness in leadership Why performance without awareness eventually collapses The intersection of Taoist wisdom and modern business Culture change that actually sticks The internal evolution required for external results What Jack is still learning about himself as a leader This is a conversation about presence, responsibility, humility, courage—and the deep inner work required to lead at the highest level.

In this deeply grounding and illuminating episode of Wake Up with Joni, Joni is joined by Tabatha DeBruyn, Transformational Breath Master and one of the few certified 9D Breathwork practitioners in Canada. Together, they explore breath as a bridge between science and soul—how conscious, somatic breathing supports nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, trauma release, and sustainable awakening. This is a powerful conversation for anyone feeling anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, or "awake but unregulated." Tabatha shares her personal journey—from high school teacher to global entrepreneur to breathwork facilitator—along with how grief, caregiving, and panic attacks ultimately led her to the healing power of somatic breathwork.
