Holding Hope in Hard Times with Doc Jana
In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, we sit down with the visionary Doc Jana—author, mystic, former DEI consultant, and certified death doula—to explore what it really means to lead with heart in a world on fire.
We talk about embracing awkwardness, navigating spiritual awakenings, stepping away from performative professionalism, and time traveling into a more just and joyful 2035. Doc shares their journey from growing up as an army brat to founding Manifest Equity® and helping people imagine a radically better future, starting from within.
We also touch on:
- Burnout in DEI and the cost of being “the only one”
- The connection between birth, death, and leadership
- The fall of capitalism (yes, we go there)
- Why joy is a form of resistance
- How to anchor yourself when everything’s shifting
This one goes deep. And yes, there will be a part two! In the meantime, tune in, take a breath, and maybe even schedule some joy time.
