Follow Your Joy Podcast by Marla Diann
I’m your host, Marla Diann! I’ve been transforming creative entrepreneurs’ lives for over 26 years through two businesses. As a success coach and business strategist, I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs collapse the time frame of achieving their desires and goals. It’s time to make joy your inner GPS for life and business decisions rather than lean on your logic and reason, first. You’ll not only be following what is most authentic to you and for you, but you will live the beautiful life meant just for you. Here at Follow Your Joy Podcast, I aspire for you, the highly talented and passionate creative entrepreneur, to do what brings you joy more often …because you learned to listen to your intuition and take action on that guidance. This is where you’ll find inspiring entrepreneurial stories and solocasts that prove listening to your intuition is certainly the doorway to your wisdom, your genius and your joy. Joy is not to be relegated to a good feeling. It’s a life & business strategy. When we follow our joy and stay tuned into it, we will live a more authentic life. Not sure how to access, use or trust your intuition living in a logical, intellectual world? Join me in the conversation to find out how!

Sept 18th I flew to Italy for the 4th time since my life and business makeover in 2017. If you are new to my podcast, I hit a big burnout in my business in 2017 that had me hiring a new mentor, Gina DeVee, for an intensive 4 hour in person session to recover my dreams and learn how to make money with joy, rather than the constant overwhelm, hustle, push the boulder up the hill and abundant amounts of stress.
