How to build your inner trust muscle and juggle multiple projects with Janet Isabelli

This week's episode is with one of my favorite humans on earth, Janet Isabelli. She is one of my yoga teachers (I HIGHLY recommend her classes), she is a fellow PR gal with her own agency, Isabelli Partners, that focuses in the hospitality space and is also a licensed real estate agent.


Throughout our conversation, we explore Janet's upbringing, the massive role music played in her life, the moments she felt disconnected from her true essence, and the rock bottom she went through that helped her change her life. We also discuss how to distinguish how much is enough in business, how to let go of shame, where PR is heading, how we define excellence, and much more. 


Some Questions I Ask:

  • What were you like as a kid? What was your essence? (1:36)
  • Throughout your life, have you ever lost connection with your core essence? (9:51)
  • How do you actually let go of shame? (37:41)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • How performing can connect people beyond consciousness (5:23)
  • About Janet's brutal disconnection from her true essence (14:40)
  • Janet's first steps into personal growth and a harmonious life: nurturing her body and soul (21:03)
  • The excuses the ego finds to keep us unorganized (24:21)
  • About how yoga showed Janet the path back to herself (31:13)
  • The things Janet had to unlearn to nurture a growth mindset (45:24)

  • Taking space

    07:51

If you want to stay connected I'm around on my IG at @sophieiweill and you can always shoot an email over at sophie@nudenationrelations.com Sending you so much love and I will see you soon!
  • Healing acne, shifting negative thought patterns and nourishing the skin/gut with Acne Nutritionist Maria Marlowe

    52:35
    This week's interview is with the incredible Maria Marlowe also known as the Acne Nutritionist who is a certified holistic nutritionist and founder of my now go-to probiotic called Glow Biome. Her skin nourishing recipes and insights have been featured in the New York Times, Vogue and so many other outlets. I am just such a fan of Maria's, what she does and creates and how she educates in such a thoughtful way on a topic that most of us (including me) have felt very helpless on. In this episode we're getting into where acne is coming from, what our skin is trying to tell us/how we can listen to the inner communication going on, the connection between our gut health and our skin health, the pros/cons of medication and most importantly we get into the mindset shifts that we can all gently work towards to move from a place of being at war or at battle with our skin to a more loving, nurturing and patient place to ultimately listen and then act on what we hear.*GIVEAWAY* - if this episode resonates with you, post the episode to your stories on Instagram tagging me (@sophieiweill) and Maria (@mariamarlow) and we will be selecting 3 listeners to receive Glow Biome which is the best probiotic for acne prone skin on the market that I have been taking for the past few months. Link to Maria's IG: https://www.instagram.com/mariamarlowe/Link to Glow Biome: https://www.kumaglow.co/products/glow-biomeLink to Maria's 3 day plan: https://mariamarlowe.com/clear-skin-plan/Link to Sophie's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sophieiweill/Link to Active Ingredient YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZKo8SEpPpcGXCsf_F-Uo2QLink to Active Ingredient's IG: https://www.instagram.com/activeingredient/
  • The next best step

    10:55
    Today's solo is about taking the next best step towards where you want to go. So often when we're starting to get clear on where we want to be, the overwhelm sets in and paralyzes us to the point of not taking steps so I wanted to put together a little solo talking about the importance of self regulating, taking a breath and committing to the tiniest of steps.

  • Be your own president!

    09:34
    This week's episode is not about our presidents but instead it's about how we can start owning being our own presidents of our lives/decisions. Today's episode is a short reminder that we get to make executive decisions, big and small, every single day and vote with our dollars/attention on the kind of world we want to see.

  • Howard Thurman + What Makes You Come Alive?

    19:14
    Solo episode on Howard Thurman's incredibly important quote and what makes you come alive. His quote and overall philosophy is truly the backbone of what I'm up to on this show and I just want to continue to bring that to the forefront as much as I possibly can. Hope you enjoy and if you did, it would be so helpful if you could give the show a 5 star rating wherever you listen!

  • Shadow careers + keeping your eye on the ball

    20:22
    This week's topic is about something that I've been thinking about for over 3 years and that is about the concept of shadow careers - what they are, why we do them and how to start choosing to step into what you ACTUALLY want to be doing vs. a "safer" periphery career. I also get into this week's tennis lesson that reminded me the importance of keeping your eye on the ball and only on the ball!

  • There are no coincidences

    22:23
    This week's episode is about the very real fact that there are no coincidences and that if you've recently lost a job, a client, someone in your life, etc. you are making space to bring in something that is more aligned to this version of you. If you stay open enough to see/receive them, the synchronicities/"coincidences" are all around and they're happening for you. If there's one thing I've learned to trust is that when you let go of something that is no longer yours, a) it never was and b) you're making space for what is.
