One Lung, Full Life
Joanne welcomes Tashell Williams—wellness coach, clean beauty advocate, and salon owner—for a powerful conversation about healing, alignment, and sacred self-leadership. At age 22, Tashell went into surgery after doctors discovered her lung had partially collapsed—only to awaken with the entire lung removed. That pivotal moment became a divine wake-up call, pushing her to reevaluate her path, release people-pleasing, and step into her purpose.

Beauty That Breathes
Rooted in her personal health journey, Tashell has created a salon space that centers clean beauty, wellness, and spiritual care. Reflecting on the moment she realized the products she was using weren’t in alignment with her values, she shares: “When you know better, do better.” Now returning to the salon after time away, she’s also launched a new app, Hair Blueprint, to help others make more conscious, informed choices about their hair care.

Trust, Shift, and Surrender
Tashell reflects on what it means to live and lead with intention, trusting divine timing instead of forcing outcomes. She encourages you to listen to your body, set clear boundaries, and walk your path with grace. Her story is a beautiful reminder to breathe deeply, honor your worth, and create beauty from the inside out.

Breaking the Hair Mold
Joanne sits down with Scott Cooper—known as The Curly Scott—for a bold and soulful conversation that unpacks hair, identity, and healing. Scott shares how his own journey as a biracial man in the beauty industry pushed him to reimagine what inclusion really looks like—on the salon floor and within himself. With deep reverence for culture and community, he offers a refreshing vision of what it means to truly belong.

More Than Hair
Scott opens up about the pain and power of being seen—how curls carry legacy, and how systems of beauty often fail to hold space for that truth. He reflects on the pressures of perfectionism, the energetic exchange between stylist and client, and the ongoing work of decolonizing the beauty industry from the inside out.

Roots, Rituals, and Regeneration
From ancestral practices to plant medicine, Scott shares the rituals that keep him grounded—including a heart-expanding story about mushrooms and surrender. This episode is a rich invitation to slow down, get curious, and honor the deeper layers behind the mirror. Let it move you.

Rooted in Clean Skincare
Joanne sits down with Hillary Peterson, founder of True Botanicals, whose journey into clean beauty began with a thyroid cancer diagnosis. Backed by a background in public health and hospital administration, Hillary turned a personal crisis into a global mission. What started as a search for non-toxic products became a purpose-driven brand committed to disrupting the beauty industry and regenerating it from the soil up.

Beyond Skin Deep
With clinical testing, sustainable sourcing, and regenerative farming at its core, Hillary’s clean skincare philosophy is both science-backed and soul-led. She shares why True Botanicals uses specific ingredients—where they’re sourced in nature, how they’re derived, and the role they play in transforming skin. Together with Joanne, she explores how intention and integrity at every level—from ingredient to impact—can inspire lasting change.

A Vision That Heals Body and Earth
Hillary opens up about True Botanicals’ collective impact projects, with a spotlight on the Food Forest Collab—from nourishing children through food-based initiatives in Kenya and the southern U.S., to exploring partnerships in India. A passionate advocate for regenerative agriculture and food forests, she reminds us that beauty is about more than skin—it’s about stewardship, healing, and leaving a legacy of care. Let this conversation guide you back to what truly matters.

From Law School to Lifesaving
In this episode of Trust Your Innersense, host Joanne Starkman welcomes Julie Castle, the dynamic CEO of Best Friends Animal Society—the organization at the heart of the national no-kill movement. What began as a spontaneous detour on a post-college road trip led Julie to a life-changing encounter with Best Friends' founders in the red rock canyons of southern Utah. Forgoing law school, she became employee number 17 and has since helped grow the sanctuary into a transformative force for animals nationwide.

Building a Movement from the Ground Up
Julie shares the powerful origin story of Best Friends—from a $5,000 down payment on a movie set-turned-sanctuary, to the hands-on creation of a place where 1,700 animals now find refuge. She opens up about their landmark rehabilitation of Michael Vick's dogs, the grassroots advocacy that built a national coalition of over 5,500 partner organizations, and her vision to make the United States a no-kill nation. It's a testament to what grit, heart, and belief in a better way can accomplish.

Purpose, Passion & Personal Transformation
Julie’s story is one of trusting the inner voice and walking through doors that change your life. Her message: don’t let others write your story. She encourages listeners to foster animals—even just for a day—and highlights the profound, healing lessons animals teach us. Julie and Joanne also talk about grief, the power of sanctuary, and how Best Friends is creating a future where no animal is left behind.

From Unthinkable Loss to Unshakable Love
Joanne shares a deeply moving conversation with Scarlett Lewis, the mother of Jesse Lewis, who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Rather than succumb to rage or despair, Scarlett chose to transform her grief into love—and founded the Choose Love Movement to bring social and emotional learning to children around the world. With profound vulnerability, she shares how that moment of loss became a lifelong mission.

The Courage to Forgive and Teach
Scarlett explains how emotional awareness, forgiveness, and compassion became essential tools in her healing—and how she now helps others integrate these values through the Choose Love Movement. Designed as a post-trauma program, it brings emotional education to schools and prisons at no cost. She and Joanne reflect on the importance of making these tools widely available, especially for the next generation.

A Message That Lives On
From her son Jesse’s final message on the chalkboard to global programs changing classrooms, Scarlett’s story is a testament to what’s possible when we lead with heart. As a parting reflection, she invites you to think about what you think about—a simple shift that can change everything. This episode will leave you grounded, inspired, and ready to choose love—no matter what you’ve faced.
