The Joy Journey Podcast with Jillian Schecher (Jillian Schecher, Joy Educator & Mentor )

What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding are actually the ones that connect you most deeply to others?

In this soulful and hilarious conversation, I sit down with content creator, speaker, and menopause advocate Jesse Schewchuk, founder of Modern Muse Media and The Menopause Mission. We talk about the power of authenticity, the chaos of content creation, and why true leadership starts with self-connection.

From showing up visibly online to walking through the fire of menopause and still standing in her truth, Jesse shares her personal stories, her career evolution, and the hard-won wisdom that’s come from allowing herself to be seen—fully and unapologetically.

Whether you're navigating visibility, launching something new, or just trying to hold it together in midlife, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Jesse went from a video-obsessed kid to a 20+ year career in broadcast and content creation
• The new era of human-first storytelling
• The link between authenticity, leadership, and burnout-proof content
• Tips for showing up when you feel overwhelmed or "not ready"
• The unexpected birth of The Menopause Mission and its ripple effect
• Why asking for help is the most powerful leadership move
• How menopause brought her back to herself and gave her a new message to share
• Jesse’s upcoming book and the matriarchal legacy behind it

What if the pain you’ve been carrying is the key to unlocking your purpose?

In this raw and real episode, I sit down with one of my dearest friends, Mandy Trapp, for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, healing, and the truth she’s held in silence for decades.

Mandy—an internationally recognized meditation and mindfulness expert—shares her story publicly for the first time, opening up about a family secret that shaped her entire childhood. She reflects on how this trauma not only marked her early years but also activated her intuitive and spiritual gifts, leading her to the profound work she does today as a teacher, guide, and healer.

This is a story of reclaiming power, finding freedom in vulnerability, and transforming pain into purpose.

In this episode, we cover:

• Mandy’s early experience with trauma and secrecy
• How trauma can catalyze spiritual awakening and intuitive gifts
• What it means to live in chronic fear
• The pivotal moment she realized she’d been meditating all along
• Her journey into yoga, mindfulness, and spiritual service
• The healing power of sharing your story and releasing shame
• The difference between pain and suffering—and the opportunity to take your power back

In this intimate first episode of The Joy Journey Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing my raw, real journey of discovering that Joy isn't just a fleeting emotion – it's a daily practice and your most powerful tool for transformation.

I dive deep into my personal story of moving through addiction, grief, and the journey that brought me to today. You'll discover how I created The Joy Method and The Joy Sessions from my own experience of turning pain into purpose, and why I believe Joy is your birthright.

We also explore why resistance shows up when we're on the edge of something meaningful, how sobriety became my pathway to authentic Joy, the courage it takes to feel everything (yes, even the uncomfortable parts), what happened when I finally chose to feel my feelings, how to build internal sturdiness through Daily Joy Practices, and why discomfort could actually be your doorway to deeper fulfillment.

In this episode, we cover:

• Overcoming resistance and embracing authenticity
• The mission and purpose of The Joy Journey Podcast
• Why you should feel every emotion (not just the Joy)
• My path to sobriety and reclaiming Joy
• Moving through discomfort to get to the other side
• Creating a Daily Joy Practice

What happens when your identity is rooted in doing—but life calls you to simply be?

In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring Dr. Kara Otuomagie—chiropractor, community leader, Ironman athlete, and founder of Kinetic Living, a multidisciplinary health clinic in Edmonton.

We talk about what it really means to slow down, step into self-trust, and lead from a place of presence. Kara shares how her journey began with caretaking at a young age, how she learned to redefine service, and why building community and connection became the cornerstone of her mission.

This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes your biggest achievements come from the moments you’re forced to sit in discomfort and listen.

In this episode, we cover:

• Kara’s journey from caretaker to chiropractor and entrepreneur
• The origin story of Kinetic Living and the power of community support
• How doing an Ironman became a spiritual and personal reckoning
• Navigating injury and what it taught her about identity
• The emotional growth that comes from stepping away from toxic relationships
• What it means to lead quietly, intuitively, and wholeheartedly

What if your healing wasn’t just for you—but for everyone you're connected to?

In Part 2 of this heart-opening conversation, I’m back with my bestie and soul sister, Mandy Trapp, and we’re diving even deeper into the messy, magical journey of healing, integration, and leading from embodied truth.

Mandy shares how her deepest pain became the doorway to her purpose—how she found her voice, reclaimed her story, became a Vedic Master, and stepped fully into her calling as a teacher, breathwork facilitator, and spiritual guide. We explore the sacred work of telling the truth (even when it’s hard), asking for what we need (hello boundaries), and how the breath can become one of our most powerful tools for transformation.

We get into:

• Why reclaiming your story matters before sharing it with others
• The difference between pain and suffering—and how to meet both with compassion
• Mandy’s path to becoming a Vedic Master and Chopra Center teacher
• Why embodiment is the spiritual work
• The birth of Lifestyle Meditation
• How breathwork can support healing across lifetimes (yes, really)
• Honouring mental health as a sacred priority
• The power of “breathing for the ones who couldn’t”
• Why it’s not just about transcendence—but about integration

This episode is a powerful reminder that when we choose to heal, we help liberate others too. I can’t wait for you to hear it. 💛
