Challenge Accepted

Relationships. Passions. Obsessions. - Now Playing

Challenge Yo Self - The Empowered podcast is for the shining, the stuck, the salty, the striving, the sabotaging, the sleepy, the superhero, the soulful, and the stoic parts of you who need an intentional infusion of thoughtful delights!

Two friends. Two timezones. Public Health. Psychology. Add in a chaotic pandemic, lack of a dating scene and the outcome is an opportunity to challenge yo self to live expansively.

Featuring Ashley and Joy + powerful and relatable guests; and a weekly segment called "Ask Dr. Joy" on Warrior Wednesday where the stuck sabotagers, the emotionally dehydrated divas, and the professed perfectionists are encouraged to send in their most vulnerable questions. You will receive an answer on the podcast.

Listen in to our musings!

The One Who Needs No Interruption

The Dazzling Dr. Joy Well

Dear Radiant Reader,

How positively delighted I am that you graced my corner of the world with your glowing presence!

There is oh so much to tell you.

We absolutely must start with the decadent dessert: I have a secret that I am only willing to share with you, my fabulous friend.

And you must promise me you’ll keep it...

I am the vibrant virtual vixen who was responsible for the joy you saw radiating all over town like a fine dawn mist.

How you ask?

I will tell you only if you do me the finest honor of asking me how you can bring complete and utter joy into your life?

I am the expert and curator of all things JOY.

Tell me where you’re stuck, sinking or shrinking back and I will bequeath you sound advice on Warrior Wednesdays with my new Challenge Yo Self podcast Wednesday episodes - Ask Dr. Joy Well.

I majored in stress and struggle to get down the road of success. But that’s not your path. It’s high time I shared my secret to a fountain of deep personal intimacy and joy.

Tell me. How can I support your joy journey?

Write me a letter (use a pen name if you like) and tell me your concern and question; then listen with delight to Warrior Wednesdays “Ask Dr. Joy Well” every Wednesday on Challenge Yo Self | An Empowered Podcast.

It’s absolutely my pleasure to serve you.

It’ll be fabulous darling.
