Choosing Yourself Actively and Without Apology

This week on Main Character Energy: The Joi Miner

Experience, we’re talking about what it really means to choose yourself — not someday, but today.

Joi dives deep into the power of saying “yes” to your peace and “no” without guilt. From the mom moments that tug at our time, to the boundaries we set in love, to the wisdom that keeps us grounded — this episode is all about honoring the version of you that’s no longer waiting for permission.

In this 45-minute full experience, Joi reminds us that choosing yourself

isn’t selfish — it’s sacred.
