Molly Mahar is a Life Coach, Speaker, and Community Builder for Gen Y Women and founder of Stratejoy. Her new program, Joy Juice, goes live today and we think it is over the top awesome. Below is Molly’s inside scoop on what Joy Juice is and how it will help you discover just how awesome YOU are.

1. Who can benefit from Joy Juice?

Obviously, I have an idea in my mind who I created Joy Juice for–women who want to access to their inner wisdom and desires and need a long-term, upbeat tool to help them tune into themselves. It’s funny you ask though, because I just asked this question to the ladies who beta-tested the Joy Juice program for me!

Here are my favorite answers…

“Oh, this is a tough one! I see so many people enjoying this for different reasons. First of all, someone who enjoys “working on herself” but really appreciates reminders and guidance will love this program (that’s me!). But then, I have a friend who’s in a HUGE transition in her life this year, and I think they’d really focus her inward, which is going to be so, so important to moving forward, healing, and re-building her life. But then my Mom, might really appreciate them, too. Working on herself is a totally foreign concept, but one she so wants to learn. In short, I think this program is A GEM!”

“I think anyone who is spinning themselves in circles of self-doubt or unnecessary angst would benefit from Joy Juice. Belief is a powerful tonic. “You can do it!” goes a long way for women of all ages. While some are lucky to just be born with oodles of self-confidence, for many of us it’s an over time trial-and-error, coming-into-your-own process. I think Joy Juice can help them get there.”

“Anyone who wants to learn more about themselves or spend more time on their personal growth/mental health/well-being is going to enjoy getting these prompts. And definitely those who are craving direction, both in life and in how to go about spending that quality time with themselves, because I really loved the prompts and know that I would never have thought of those kinds of topics on my own.”

2. What should people expect to get out of this new program?

Joy Juice is a yearlong program of positive prompts delivered every 3 days to your inbox. 12 months x 10 prompts= 120 inspiring, yet practical Love Bombs! Each month has a theme to inspire honest reflection, true growth, and the chance to listen to the wisest woman in your world– yourself.

Most of the women taking part are using the prompts to journal, but some are doing art work, blogging about the prompts, or letting them inspire deep conversations with partners or gal pals.

My warning? Expect breakthroughs, increased self-love, and this odd glowing feeling of being really connected and grateful for your world.

3. What’s your theme song these days?

Is it cheating to say the one I had written? I LOVE music. I totally have a soundtrack to my life– all the big moments have songs that bring me right back… So, it was only natural that I wanted to have theme song written for me and for Stratejoy, right? An amazing local musician, Abi Grace, wrote and recorded something that I absolutely love for my Tribe. I listen to it every morning before diving into work! You can download if you like! http://www.stratejoy.com/theme-song/.

4. What makes YOU so awesome?

Right now I am reveling in the awesomeness that is my dedication and ability to keep innovating! Entreprenuership can be so hard on the self-esteem and I’m really proud of myself for believing in (and continuing to work at) my big dreams. I’m also awesome these days because I’m taking time to really connect with my family, drinking loads of green smoothies, and finding more excuses to be silly and whimsical.

5. What’s your #1 tip for CRAVE entreprenesses who don’t know how awesome they are?

Well, they are awesome. So, I’d yell this from the rooftops if I could, “You need to believe in yourself and your unique contribution to this world first. Before you ask anyone else to, before you figure out how to package and sell, before you create your brand or name your company. Get on board with your awesomeness.”

This doesn’t mean you need to be showy, or stuck up, or fake it til you make it. It means you need to tap into fierce self love and inner confidence. You don’t know how to do that? First step: Practice really listening to yourself. What makes you go “Oh, hell YES!”? What instantly turns you off? Respect those desires and you’ll get used to validating your own worth and individual awesomeness.

6. When you crave happiness, what do you do/where do you go?

When I’m craving general happiness or pleasure, I love taking long walks outside (preferably in the sunshine), dancing my heart out, exploring new neighborhoods (aka puttering), long champagne-fueled conversations with girfriends and snuggling with my husband.

If I’m craving happiness in my work, shutting down the Internet often helps! Reading my “love notes” email file always gives me a surge–it reminds me why I’m doing what I’m doing. If I’m really feeling out of sorts, I meditate on my mission- “To celebrate life authentically and inspire others to do the same.” This can help shift me from a place of contraction or comparison or feeling small to that spacious, creative, and happy space.

8. Where did the idea for Joy Juice come from?

Journaling is the process I use to engage in conversation with myself, to act as my own analyst, friend and coach. It’s also the birthplace of all my big ideas. Back in 2007, journaling made me realize that I was truly miserable in my sales manager job and that I needed to do something drastic to shake my life up. And then I traveled around the world journaling all the while. From that round of intensive self-connection, I realized I wanted to start a company that worked directly with women! I got back to Seattle and started Stratejoy…

I thought the ability to journal just came naturally to people—that everyone pours their heart out, examines their dreams, dissects their moments of shame, knows how to grow from their stream of consciousness writing. Apparently, I was wrong.

I had clients who asked for more journal prompts, for more “love to hate ‘em” questions, more juicy techniques to dig deeper, more ways to biggify their life through writing… Joy Juice was the answer to those requests!
