After our full interview, Joanne and I sat down for a more relaxed conversation — a space to debrief, unwind, and share a few favorite things. In this bonus “Wind Down” episode, Joanne talks about the surprising through-line she discovered while telling her story, from childhood to her work in belonging and organizational coaching today.

We also get into lighter moments: perfectionism, Brene Brown, nostalgic foods, the band Elbow, and the places that hold meaning for her — including an unforgettable trip to the Galapagos Islands that brought her to tears.

If you enjoy hearing the human side of each guest, their reflections, and a peek behind the interview, you’ll love these Wind Down episodes.

Topics in this episode:
• Finding unexpected clarity after the main interview
• How belonging became central to Joanne’s life and work
• Recovering from perfectionism
• Favorite books, nostalgic foods, and personal recommendations
• Her emotional reaction to seeing the Galapagos Islands
• A casual, warm debrief between host and guest
