From Play to Power: What Podcasting Reveals About Who We Really Are
A soulful conversation between Jasmyne DesBiens & Anna Scott
When I sat down with Anna Scott on her podcast My Love of Life Energy, it wasn’t about having a plan, a strategy, or a polished pitch. It was about showing up — fully, honestly, and letting whatever wanted to be spoken… flow through.
And that’s exactly what happened.
From the very beginning, Anna lit me up with love. She introduced me as “the woman who makes all her magic happen” — which, let’s be honest, is already worth gold. But what followed was a deeply rich, flowing conversation about creativity, technology, entrepreneurship, and how we stop ourselves from moving forward when we get stuck in thought.
The Power of Not Knowing
One of the most unexpected truth bombs of the episode was this:
“Everything I know, I know because I didn’t know.”
I said it without thinking — and Anna felt it. It wasn’t rehearsed, it just came from the truth of how I live and work. That space where curiosity meets courage. I try. I play. I fail. I learn. And then I know. That’s the process.
And I don’t judge myself along the way.
Holding Space for Others
Anna spoke about how I work with people, saying that I give them “space to have their humanity.” That hit home.
Because in business — especially for soul-led entrepreneurs — it’s easy to get overwhelmed by tools, tactics, and all the noise. I don’t believe in pushing people into something they’re not ready for. I believe in showing up beside them, staying patient, and trusting that they’ll see what they need to see in their own time.
As I shared:
“If they’re not seeing what I’m seeing, I can’t force it. I’ve tried that version. It doesn’t work.”
And the same goes for how I live my life.
Podcasting as a Playground
Anna and I both love podcasting — not because of what it “gets” us, but because of what it gives us. We talked about how podcasting is a space to play, to grow, to be seen.
She reminded me of the time I helped her shift from focusing on podcast results to tuning into the joy of it. And now? She’s starting to see seeds sprouting — not from pushing, but from loving the process.
As I told her:
“You’re different now. You’ve evolved. You play inside your podcast — and that’s the beauty of it.”
The Unexpected Gifts
This episode wasn’t just a chat — it was a mirror. It reminded me of how far I’ve come, how deep this work goes, and how showing up without a plan can sometimes lead to the most impactful moments.
We’re not here to have it all figured out.
We’re here to see something new.
