S11E9 - Investing In Yourself

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

Want to take the risk out of investing in your next bold move?

Today on the podcast, we're diving into how to make successful personal investments — like gaining new skills, finding creative freedom, starting a business or making space for passions — that pay dividends in growth and satisfaction.

Together, we’ll unpack why it’s so easy to second-guess these kinds of investments, especially when they don’t match up with traditional ideas of what “good” investments look like.

We’ll dive into examples of my own investments across the years, explore navigating tough conversations with loved ones & explore the 2 key questions I ask before investing time or money.

Here’s a snapshot of what we’ll explore:

• Why investing in yourself is worth the risk (& how to reduce the risk)

• Common internalized beliefs around what "smart" investments look like & how to rewrite them

• My personal investment journey, from small luxuries to career-defining decisions

• How to know if your investment will bring you real ROI

• Strategies for sharing your vision with loved ones who may have doubts
