Oh My Goodness! with Aj Smit

Ep. 42 Finding Joy in Chaos

In this episode, I’m talking to the you who is tired, overwhelmed, and honestly not in the mood for “just choose joy.” We name the absurd reality we’re living in, and then I walk you through how to work with what’s true—like when it’s raining—rather than getting stuck in how it “should” be. You’ll hear stories, nervous system check-ins, and super accessible ways to invite in tiny pockets of joy, even from bed. We’ll explore imagining better scenarios, tending to your body, and letting community support you as you remember: you are worthy of delight, always.

Ep. 41 Creating Rituals that Flourish in Larps, Retreats & Events

I gave this talk at the Knutpunkt conference in Sweden, in a workshop on creating rituals that feel potent in games and events, but it's applicable across the board. I share more deeply about a few different facets of the rituals, and ideas and examples for you to be able to apply them to your life.

Ep. 40 Sanctuary Days and Social Media Breaks

In this episode of the Oh My Goodness podcast, I share the story behind my “sanctuary days”—two days a week where I step away from social media and most electronics to truly rest and reset. You’ll hear how burnout pushed me to create better boundaries, what it actually looks like to take time offline (imperfectly!), and why it matters for your nervous system, creativity, and relationships. I also talk about tools I use, like the Brick app, how I communicate these boundaries with clients and friends, and I invite you to imagine what your own version of sanctuary time could be.

Ep. 39 Golden Headaches: What are they, and how I move through them

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to have a sold-out coaching practice and a life that’s “more than full-time.” I share the golden headaches of success: navigating a packed calendar, honoring my body after past burnout and carpal tunnel, and restructuring my schedule with sanctuary days, sleep, movement, and spiritual practices. I'll give you permission to need more support as you grow, to set clearer boundaries, to let business and life be lighter and more resourced, and to regularly ask, “What would make this feel more spacious and nourishing for me?” Want to dive in more?

Ep. 38 How Small Shifts Impact Your Life

In this episode of the Oh My Goodness podcast, I open up about the “messy middle” of our goals and growth. I share honestly about running a sold-out coaching practice, joining a mastermind, and realizing I’m at capacity—and how that’s reshaping my goals. I invite you to reflect on your own halfway point: noticing nervous system capacity, to celebrate subtle but profound progress, and release shame-heavy “shoulds.” You’ll hear how my clients and I practice self-trust, aligned goal-setting, and joyful, sustainable growth. This episode offers gentle challenge, nervous-system-aware support, and lots of encouragement to honor how far you’ve truly come.Want to dive in more? Join Embodied in Joy my Free Facebook group!
