204: The Journey Home - 5 Years of Healing, Creating & Becoming

204: The Journey Home - 5 Years of Healing, Creating & Becoming

Author: Joanna Ingram December 2, 2025 Duration: 15:46

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 sister

Whether 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.
