Joyful Journey

If you had told me fifteen years ago that I'd one day be writing books, hosting a podcast, and talking openly about my spiritual journey, I would have laughed.The truth is, I didn't begin my spiritual journey because I was searching for God. I began because I wanted to be more successful in business.In this episode, I share the unexpected story of how curiosity, a remarkable woman named Debbi, and a coach who introduced me to the idea of "God Walks" quietly changed the direction of my life.Looking back, I can see that what I thought I was searching for wasn't success at all. It was peace.Whether you're on your own spiritual journey, simply curious, or wondering if there's something more, I hope this story encourages you to reflect on what first opened the door for you.Order Your Copy of Whispers of the Soul here: https://mybook.to/WhispersofthesoulAbout Anita AdamsI’m Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Inspired Living, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

In today’s episode, we talk about compassion as the path through pain and suffering that leads to joy. By showing compassion and doing small acts of kindness you bring others joy and in so doing you feed your own joy and ease your pain. The Dalai Lama has a beautiful term for this - he calls it the “virtuous cycle.” He says, ”the more we turn to others, the more joy we experience, and the more joy we experience the more joy we can bring to others.” Please note that this episode ends with a short guided meditation that will help deepen your compassion for yourself and others. Make sure you are in a safe place to listen to the meditation, or put this episode on pause at the appropriate point and come back to it later.

In this episode, I share what it really means to trust the whispers of your soul and step into the unknown—even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain. Through personal stories and reflections, I explore why the most aligned and fulfilling paths often require us to let go of what feels safe, and how life has consistently unfolded in ways even better than I imagined when I chose to trust. I’ll also walk you through three simple but powerful steps to help you build the belief that the best is yet to come, so you can move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and courage.Order Your Copy of Whispers of the Soul here: https://mybook.to/Whispersofthesoul About Anita AdamsI’m Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Inspired Living, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Arliss Dudley-Cash to explore the power of silence and what becomes possible when we stop filling every moment with noise. Together, we talk about why so many of us are afraid of stillness, how silence helps us discern between fear-driven mind chatter and the gentle voice of inner wisdom, and why learning to “practice the pause” is an act of courage and self-love. Arliss shares her personal journey—from science and law enforcement to spiritual business consulting—and how her health challenges became a turning point that taught her to truly listen inward.We also explore how silence can transform not only our inner lives, but our businesses—sparking creativity, deepening trust, and even increasing clarity and profitability. From two-minute mindfulness resets to scheduling intentional pauses in our calendars, this episode is an invitation to begin a quiet revolution: one where we choose presence over reactivity, progress over hustle, and self-trust over fear. If you’ve been craving more peace, clarity, or alignment in your life, this conversation will gently guide you back to the stillness where your truest answers live.About Arliss Dudley-CashArliss Dudley-Cash, MA, MBA is a business consultant, best-selling author, and prayer practitioner.

In this powerful and illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams, founder of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence, to explore a radically different way of understanding intuition. Ricci-Jane challenges the belief that intuition is a rare gift and instead invites us to see it as an innate human capacity—one that can be refined into what she calls intuitive intelligence. We talk about inner authority, self-trust, and our connection to the unified field of consciousness, as well as the vital role of the nervous system and her four S’s: stillness, silence, solitude, and slowness.Throughout our conversation, we dive into the relationship between fear, the subconscious, and spiritual growth, and why fear is not something to eliminate but a messenger guiding us back to truth. Ricci-Jane shares profound insights on spiritual self-esteem, embodiment, and why developing intuitive intelligence is inseparable from healing and personal responsibility. If you’ve ever struggled to trust your inner knowing or found yourself looking outside yourself for answers, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate invitation to come home to your own wisdom.About Dr. Ricci-Jane AdamsDr Ricci-Jane Adams is the Founder of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence®. Ricci-Jane shows us how to 'un-f' our intuition, activate our inner authority, and trust ourselves, so we can create wildly successful lives. Ricci-Jane resides in Melbourne, Australia, and is the author of Spiritually Fierce, Superconscious Intuition and Love Notes to the Divine. She has a doctorate from the University of Melbourne. She is a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and has devoted over twenty-five years to her spiritual awakening.

In this episode, I share some of my deepened learnings around awareness, presence, and how emotional pain can become a powerful doorway to awakening.I explore what happens when sadness, frustration, or anger arise without a clear reason—and how easy it is to judge ourselves for feeling the way we do. For many years, I believed the way through these emotions was to analyze them, trace them back to their origins, and try to understand why they were there.While there is value in self-inquiry, I’ve come to realize that it’s not always necessary—and often not the most helpful place to begin.In this episode, I invite you into a gentler practice: acknowledging emotions as they arise, without analyzing, judging, or trying to fix them. Drawing on Eckhart Tolle’s teachings around presence and the pain body, I share how simple awareness can begin to transmute emotional pain—much like warmth melting ice.We explore:Why resistance keeps emotions stuckWhat true acceptance really means (and what it doesn’t)How presence creates the spaciousness needed for clarity and inspired actionWhy wisdom can only be accessed in the present momentIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions or unsure how to move through them, this episode offers a compassionate reminder: you don’t need to strive or fix anything. Awareness itself is enough to begin the shift.And it’s in that awareness—quiet, open, and present—where wisdom speaks.Order Your Copy of Whispers of the Soul here: https://mybook.to/Whispersofthesoul About Anita AdamsI’m Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Inspired Living, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

On today’s episode of the Joyful Journey Podcast, I sit down with creative transformation coach, vibrational healer, and award-winning musician Jenny Elinora to explore how creativity becomes a pathway to healing, wholeness, and joyful living.

In this deeply inspiring episode, I sit down with David Hulse, a gifted spiritual guide, healer, and teacher whose journey from a fundamentalist Christian upbringing to an expansive, love-centred spirituality is nothing short of remarkable. David shares how a profound awakening reshaped his understanding of God—from an external, judgmental figure to the divine presence within each of us—and how this realization bridges ancient wisdom with modern science. Together, we explore releasing inherited beliefs that no longer serve us, the transformative power of “I AM” consciousness, and what it means to move from a 3D material perspective to a 5D heart-centred way of living. This conversation is a call to lightworkers everywhere to embrace their role as co-creators in humanity’s awakening and a reminder that we are, at our core, love, light, and joy.About David HulseDavid Hulse is a seasoned spiritual guide, minister, author, and healer whose journey from a fundamentalist Christian upbringing to an inclusive, love-centred spirituality bridges traditional doctrine with contemporary insight. A profound awakening early in his life reshaped his understanding of divinity and revealed humanity’s deep interconnectedness. As Founder and Spiritual Guide at the Academy for Spiritual Awakening, David blends wisdom from diverse traditions with modern science to inspire people to move beyond belief into direct experience of the divine within. His teachings challenge limiting dogmas, emphasize unconditional love and gnosis—direct knowledge from Source—and guide lightworkers through the shift from a 3D material world to a 5D heart-centred consciousness, empowering global spiritual evolution.Connect with Davide Hulse:Websites: davidhulse.comhttps://www.heartlightcharlotte.org/About Anita AdamsI’m Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Journey, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

In this episode, I share a heartfelt story that emerged during a walk with a dear friend—one that invited me to take a deeper look at my own lingering doubts about worthiness. It’s a vulnerable reflection on what it means to fully accept ourselves in all our messy, beautiful humanness. I talk about the power of acknowledging, rather than suppressing, our emotions and how doing so allows us to stay aligned with who we’re here to be.

There’s a deep wisdom that reveals itself when we walk in nature—especially when we give ourselves the time and space to walk long distances. In this episode, I share some of the powerful lessons I learned while leading a group of women on a 115 km trek along the Camino in southern France. This was more than a physical journey—it was a soulful one that reminded me of the importance of surrender, the value of discomfort, and the beauty of simply holding space for others. I also reflect on the parable of the moth and the cocoon, a story that perfectly illustrates why we need to struggle sometimes in order to grow.Order Your Copy of Whispers of the Soul here: https://mybook.to/WhispersofthesoulAbout Anita AdamsI’m Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Inspired Living, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.
