She, Illuminated | Real Talk & Strategies for Middle Age Women Ready to Ignite Passion and Renew Confidence
We all know the feeling of being pulled in a million directions. As a woman, you’re trying to do your best by juggling your job, taking care of your family, and managing tons of other responsibilities. It’s exhausting and sometimes, you might feel like there’s something more out there for you, something that fills your soul with greater joy, power, and purpose. If you’re feeling stretched thin and like you’re not living the joyful, purposeful life you’re meant to, first of all - it’s not your fault! You’re doing your best and you’re probably doing many things well. The real issue is often rooted in the good girl story, the one that many of us instinctively believe and that requires us to be everything to everyone. And I’m here to tell you: only YOU have the power to flip the script and rewrite your own story. Hi, I’m Jana Fuchs, a certified transformational coach for women in midlife and a longtime psychotherapist. I’ll help you claim your power and find your peace, without guilt or self-doubt. I’ve spent over 12 years helping people one-on-one and I’m a mom to a special needs child, so I know a thing or two about dealing with stress and feeling overwhelmed. But here’s the good news - connecting to your joy and purpose doesn’t have to be a complicated mystery. It’s totally possible, and I can help guide the way. In this show, I’ll share super helpful tips, strategies, and stories that are easy to understand and apply to your own life. You’ll learn how to turn your struggles into stepping stones towards a life that makes you feel peaceful, present, and fulfilled every day. Listen, I’ve had my own moments of feeling completely burnt out, so I get it. But those tough times helped me discover the power of listening to my inner self and turning my challenges into opportunities for growth and abundance. So, are you ready to make a change and step into a life filled with clarity, confidence, and joy? Join me and let’s take this journey together. Let’s Do this!

Have you ever found yourself so deeply engaged in a task that you lose track of time and the world around you just falls away?
What if you could enter this state of 'flow' at will, not just by chance?

Ever wonder how creativity can aid in problem-solving, self-expression, and release perfectionism?
In today’s episode, I am joined by a special guest, Karen Dana Cohen, an artist, educator, and independent curator. We explored the transformative power of creativity and delved into how creativity is not just confined to the art world, but is a skill we all possess.
Whether it's cooking, gardening, or knitting, we can approach these activities with a creative mindset, opening up a world of possibilities. We also touched on the differences observed between male and female artists.
We discussed the importance of trying new things and allowing ourselves to make mistakes. That embracing failure is essential for personal growth and discovering new possibilities.
I hope this episode will inspire you and spark your creativity in you. Listen in!
