Goals With Soul

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

If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build a business that can weather life's storms, this conversation is going to shift something for you.This week on Goals with Soul, I'm joined by Kelly Vikings, known as the Divine Business Mentor, who revolutionizes what she calls New Earth Business through sovereign leadership and advanced business energetics.With three decades in sales and marketing leadership and almost two decades as an entrepreneur, Kelly has built and scaled businesses from concept to multi-six figures, multiple times. But her journey hasn't been linear - and that's exactly what makes this conversation so powerful.Kelly shares her tower moment - the complete collapse of her property business in 2019 that led to bankruptcy, losing everything, and rebuilding from a caravan in Cornwall with her three sons. Through that grief and loss, she found herself. And in that process, she discovered that consciousness and energy are the real foundations of sustainable business.In this honest, grounded conversation, we cover:Why we overcomplicate everything as humans and would rather sit in hell than find a new heavenThe three business models (one-to-one, launches, and evergreen) and how to build the right combination for sustainabilityHow your business is a 3D reflection of your consciousness - and what happens when you upgrade your energyThe spiritual side as the sanity in business building, and why community mattersKelly's soul incarnation work and how understanding your soul's essence changes everythingWhether you're exhausted from strategy hopping, ready to build something that actually supports you, or curious about blending consciousness with practical business strategy, this one's for you.Connect with Kelly Vikings:Website: https://www.kellyvikings.comFacebook: Kelly Vikings🎁 Free gift: Kelly offers a free soul incarnation reportConnect with Joanna Ingram:Website: http://joannaingram.comInstagram: @‌iamjo.ingramSubscribe & Review:If you loved this episode, subscribing and leaving a review is a beautiful way to support the show and helps more soulful coaches and healers find these honest conversations about building aligned, abundant businesses.

This is a milestone episode of Goals With Soul - 200 Episodes!!When I hit “record” for the first time back in 2020, I had no idea this podcast would become the one thing that stayed steady while everything else in my business evolved.Four years on, Goals With Soul sits in the top 2% of podcasts globally.We’ve had over 30,000 downloads, seasons of change, and incredible guests like Caitlyn Batcher, Susie Ashworth, Lisa Johnson, Gemma Went and so many others who’ve shared wisdom that’s shaped people’s businesses and lives.In this celebratory episode I’m looking back on the journey so far … from messy action and forest walks with birdsong in the background, to the consistency that’s built a show you can tune into on the school run, in the bath, or out walking your dog.I also share a very personal story about a day that started badly, took an unexpected turn at a shopping mall (hint: it involved fire engines and a lot of black smoke), and what it taught me about my own spiritual and business practices.From that story came two powerful themes I’m bringing back into my life and business right now - Decision and Discipline.In this episode I talk about how those two values are elevating my energy, my mood and my results without hustle or compromise, and why they’re the same principles that have kept Goals With Soul going strong.I’m also excited to announce something new - I’ve just launched my second podcast!The Soulful Catalyst Podcast is a space for even more brilliant, soulful coaches, healers and practitioners to share the powerful work that creates true transformation for their clients.If that’s you, you can apply to be a guest at:http://go.joannaingram.com/soulfulcatalystIf you’ve been part of this journey from the beginning or just found me last week, thank you for listening.This episode is as much for you as it is for me - an invitation to recommit to what matters, choose your own non‑negotiables, and take the smallest daily steps toward an uncompromisingly aligned life and business.Connect with Joanna Ingram:Website: joannaingram.comInstagram: @‌iamjo.ingramBook a Free Client Alignment Call: https://calendly.com/jo-ingram/client-alignmentLove Goals With Soul?Please subscribe and leave a review to help more soulful entrepreneurs find the show and build thriving, purpose‑led businesses with messaging that truly reflects their brilliance.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I’ve seen trip up even the most experienced coaches and healers: subtle, sneaky messaging mistakes that block the high-calibre clients you actually want to work with.Let’s be honest - have you ever felt like your audience isn’t quite “getting” the depth of your work? You’re doing the things, sharing content, showing up… but still attracting hesitant, lower-frequency clients who drain your energy or ghost you when it’s time to invest.That’s not because you’re not brilliant at what you do … it’s because the way you’re talking about your work might be out of alignment with the level of client you’re here to serve.In this episode, I share the 4 most common messaging mistakes I see (and have made myself!) and the simple shifts that help you move from overexplaining to magnetising the premium, soul-aligned clients who light you up.You’ll hear:Why being “clear” in your message isn’t enough - and what to focus on insteadHow subtle fear energy repels high-frequency clients (even if your offer is amazing)Why trying to sound helpful and humble can actually water down your authorityThe shift from proving your value… to transmitting it effortlesslyThis is a practical, heartfelt episode for any coach, healer or expert who’s ready to stop settling for misaligned clients and start calling in the ones who deeply value your magic, happily pay your full rates, and create incredible results.Connect with Joanna Ingram:Website: joannaingram.comInstagram: @‌iamjo.ingram✨** Book a free Client Alignment Call** where I’ll identify your messaging gaps and how to fix them!Love Goals With Soul?If you enjoyed this episode, hit subscribe and leave a review.
