Jan Hoath: The Secret to Achieving Your Dreams: Cultivating Joy and Letting Go of Perfection

I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Jan Hoath on my podcast Conversations with Carroll. Our conversation centered around more than just setting goals—it was about how we want to feel at the end of the year. Jan, a self-described “joy mentor,” reminded us that success without joy is no success at all. Her message was clear: we don’t have to choose between ambition and joy. We can hold both. It’s not either/or, it’s and—a powerful shift in mindset that prepares us not just to achieve, but to thrive.

One of the standout moments from our talk was when Jan introduced her concept of the “Froot Loop moment”—a beautiful metaphor for finding joy in the smallest, most unexpected places, even in difficult times. Whether you're facing a major life transition, navigating grief, or just feeling overwhelmed by the holiday season, Jan’s wisdom reminds us that joy isn’t just possible—it’s essential. It’s a muscle we can strengthen. And it’s what allows us to live in peace, possibility, and purpose, no matter what ride we’re on.

If you’re feeling the pull to live with intention and start the next one grounded in joy, don’t miss this episode. Tune in to Conversations with Carroll for an uplifting, heartfelt dialogue that will leave you inspired to seek your own “and” moments—and maybe even stock up on some Froot Loops.
