Are you struggling to listen to that voice inside your head? One that’s nudging you towards taking a leap of faith? On this week’s episode of the TKV Podcast (EP 22, links below), we meet Joi Stearns, owner of the incredibly successful JOi Cafe, a vegan and entirely gluten free restaurant in the Valley. Prior to opening her restaurant, Joi was a stay at home wife and mother of two in Texas. At the age of 47, that voice told her to head back to California, the home of a traumatic and painful childhood—even if it meant saying goodbye to a 17-year marriage. She listened. She signed divorce papers, packed up her things, got into her car, and with her two kids, set up a life in the suburbs of LA. A couple years later, she listened to that voice once more and gambled every penny she had to start a restaurant, even though it was a very not “sensible” thing to do. This “insensible” step led directly to finding purpose, power, and, most importantly, Joi.

Tune in to listen to Joi’s remarkable story of healing and faith. Also, if you happen to be in SoCal, make sure to stop by the cafe and order yourself a Breakfast Bagel sandwich. You won’t regret it.
