Transformations With Jayne

Are you looking for change? In February of 2020 I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my wonderful clients and long-time fan of my podcast, Minori Hanashima.  Minori is an account manager and translator based in Tokyo in the PR Industry. I was so proud of Minori for coming on the show and stepping out of her comfort zone to join me and how far she has come even though she didn’t change anything on the outside, only on the inside.  In the episode:  How she built a network around her interest in translating  Her transformation from stressed sick to happy and satisfied with her life  The reason behind her previous lack of confidence and how she is now  The change in her thinking habits that decreased her stress levels  Her guiding word for the year and why she prefers that over goals  There is so much value in listening to someone who is actually going through their transformation, I hope you will find some great inspiration in her story. I love seeing my clien

Earlier in 2020, I interviewed Jacqui MIyabayashi, a fellow Kiwi & I am sure she won’t mind me saying, a bit of a serial entrepreneur! We talk about her new business North South Stewart but it is important to note that this is not Jacqui’s first or even SECOND business. This is also not her first time on the podcast as she was one of my first guests way back when I started and a big supporter. Jacqui is a long-term Osaka resident and mum to two boys and one of her pet peeves- being cold! Which is why she started a new business in recent times importing New Zealand wool accessories.  The episode is all about: How Jacqui started her first online business to where she is today  The value of experimenting  Being your own influencer  Overcoming fear and leaving your comfort zone  For more information on Jacqui head to her website here https://jacquimiyabayashi.com/ (https://jacquimiyabayashi.com/)  Or follow the winter woollies store on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/

Firstly a huge congratulations to Jennifer Shinkai on the release of her podcast- Ikigai with Jennifer Shinkai (I may or may not have played a part in that!) Not long before our move to Sweden, I interviewed Jen for my podcast- Jen is British and a long-term resident of Tokyo where she lives with her family focusing on integrating Ikigai (life purpose) into her daily work as well as an inclusion and diversity specialist. If you miss this episode the first time, I highly recommend a listen and then head over to Jen’s channel to check out her new podcast and show her some love.  In this episode we talk about:  The recent typhoon and flooding (in October 2019)  How Jennifer came to be in Japan  What is "ikigai" Points of You ® coaching  Jennifer runs a lot of online workshops now as well so be sure to check her website or FB page for more details especially if you are interested in learning more about Points of You or Ikigai.  Website: jennifershinkai.com/  Facebook: www.

In 2018 I had the pleasure of interviewing Sarah Furuya for my podcast.  Sarah is a life coach, executive coach and facilitator who works with entrepreneurs, educators, executives and more. Sarah has a BSc Hons in Human Psychology and Human Biology, is a certified practitioner of Lumina Spark and Saville Wave psychometrics and a graduate as a trained Systems Coach (ORSC) and in 2019, not long after we recorded this she started her own interview series which is now also a podcast. https://www.sarahfuruya.com/legends-interview-series (https://www.sarahfuruya.com/legends-interview-series ) In this episode we talk about: How Sarah came to be where she is today How Sarah uses a word of the year CSR: Corporate Social Responsibility and what that looks likes for Sarah About being bold and the importance of visibility The three similarities Sarah sees across her coaching clients And so much more! If you missed it the first time, definitely listen in- or perhaps it is time for a re-listen. At the time,

We are all living with a level of uncertainty that reaches far and wide. How is it going for you? Since the start of 2020, the Covid Pandemic has been on everyone’s minds. In March, things got real for many more of us. As I write this it is now September and it doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon, and winter is on the way in the Northern Hemisphere and so are rumours and fears of a second wave. If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s that I have to get better with living with uncertainty. Not just on the level of “What’s for dinner?”. In today's episode, I'm talking about: An example from my own life overcoming huge levels of uncertainty My top practical tips for how we can feel better right now One to one coaching: https://www.jaynenakata.com/coaching (https://www.jaynenakata.com/coaching) Want your podcast started for you?

Have you noticed that you've put on weight during corona?  Perhaps your body is not in the condition it was before?  Maybe you are using more caffeine, alcohol, television to get you through the day?   I found myself raising my hand to all of the above!!   It's hard not to immediately go down the path of "Bad girl!", "You have no self control!" the full range of nastiness we direct at ourselves regularly.   But what if you could learn one new thing about yourself or remind yourself about one thing that you might have forgotten?  That's what I'm talking about in today's episode.

Click here to watch on YouTube Wow. That was some five months of craziness! If you have been wondering where the "Transformations with Jayne Podcast" has gotten to, I'm back to tell you all about it! In this episode, I'm talking about : - Our sudden covid repatriation to Japan - Our "Back to the Future" lifestyle in Japan - Four things that helped us to get through our time Covid exile You can check out the blog post that goes with this episode HERE, with some bonus photos of our "Show Era" living quarters.  If you think you'd be a good fit for the podcast, please get in touch with me, through this blog, or on instagram @transformationswithjayne I love to profile and talk to women like you, living your life your way, wherever you may be.

What can we do with this thing that is called "The Past". Should we forget it? Move on and don't look back?  Sometimes I think so, other times I don't.  In this episode I cover: - Some of the things that are useful to take with you from the past - A short exercise for finding the positive themes of your life - How "should" interfere with our real purpose By connecting the dots, we can see where we might go if we give up on those "should" things.  I'd love to hear from you if you've found a new "connect the dots" that helps you with your future direction! 

It's been nearly 9 years exactly since my world was turned completely upside down. One minute I was a first time mother expecting a baby and living a very usual life in a small town in Japan (just your average kind of life! ha ha!).  The next minute a massive earthquake and tsunami has set off the worst natural and man made disaster in the history of the world. My house became uninhabitable for a 7 months pregnant woman, I thought we'd lost everything. I had one small bag of clothes and the car we drove away from Fukushima in.  We thought we might never see our old life again.  Fast forward 9 years and here I am living a most unexpected life in Sweden. Not Japan at all.  This week I'm discussing how we can change the course of our lives with tiny seemingly insignificant steps forwards.  I also talk about a workshop I held for parents here in Sweden, despite the fact that I am "new" and despite that "I don't know much about Gothenburg yet"... I'd love to hear how you are not letting things keep you from trying

Hello!!! This week's episode title speaks for itself: What's one thing that would improve your life? It might be an easy to answer question or not!  I talk about: - how we often don't notice areas for improvement - how we create barriers to keep doing what we've always done - ideas on ways you could improve your life by not doing something - how I've overcome my self inflicted barriers around grocery shopping! Small incremental changes add up to lots! I can't wait to see what I can achieve with the extra 2-3 hours of time I'm not wasting at the grocery store!!

Solo episode this week and I'm talking about how one of my gurus Jim Fortin reminds me: "We speak our lives into existence".
