Wake Up! with Joni

Where being awake becomes sustainable

“This work is for people who are ready to stop outsourcing their power and start living from clarity, coherence, and conscious choice.”

Meet Joni

You are not here to live small. You are here to live awake.

I’m Joni Lerner—I offer private mentorship and integration to create coherence, and grounded wisdom in times of complexity. As a mentor, author, speaker, podcast host, and shamanic practitioner, my work is devoted to one essential truth: when you reclaim your inner authority, life reorganizes around clarity, peace, and freedom.

For more than two decades, I’ve worked with individuals, leaders, creatives, and couples who sense there is more—more alignment, more authenticity, more power available to them than they are currently living. My role is to help you access it, stabilize it, and live from it.

My approach blends conscious leadership practices, Toltec wisdom, emotional integration, and shamanic insight with grounded, real-world application. This is not about bypassing life or escaping difficulty—it is about learning how to meet life awake, regulated, and empowered.

Testimonials

  • “Joni has been instrumental in moving the bar in all aspects of my growth… taking spiritual, relational and business goals to a much higher level.  Her direct and compassionate guidance are grounded in spiritual principles.  Joni offers a unique way of contemplating situations and life that results in access to wisdom and confidence you didn’t know you had in you. If you have goals to achieve I believe Joni’s guidance will help you get there - just as it has helped me!”

    —Mary Flynn

  • "I had the sense that in working with Joni, I’ve kind of cheated the self-help system (or at least cut toward the front of the line). This is all probably available somewhere in books and podcasts, all of which are helpful if not time consuming.  It’s the individualized, real time nature of what she does that makes her coaching so powerful.   She's like a personal trainer for what goes on in my head and what comes out of my mouth – and I’m so grateful.”

    —Susan B

  • “I wanted to work with Joni for help navigating the dating world after a string of personal and romantic set-backs.  I got that and so much more.  Joni has helped me improve all the important relationships in my life, including the one with myself.  By leveraging her decades of experience and knowledge base, I’ve had a very direct path to understanding my own motivations, blind spots and true desires.  We haven’t dwelled on the past but focus on the “now” and the true power I have to create the life I want.  She’s offered me the perfect mix of psychological concepts, practical tools, and gentle (or pointed) suggestions.  And somehow, she makes it all really fun.  Joni is the perfect guide for anyone who wants “more” or help handling those thoughts or questions which are easily but unsatisfactorily swatted away.  And yes – her dating wisdom is effective too!

    —Paige A

  • "As part of a leadership program, I had the opportunity to select a company-sponsored executive coach. Admittedly I never thought about getting a coach before, but I was like sure, sign me up! I literally had zero expectations but after just a few sessions, I was like why didn't I think of this YEARS ago?  Working with Joni for several months on professional coaching was an absolute pleasure. I was looking for help with burnout, better work/life balance and inserting "self-care" into my daily routine. She focused on helping me identify and correct items in my personal life that were affecting how I viewed myself and performed in my professional life. Joni brings such a fresh perspective and point of view to her coaching style that instantly allowed me to feel comfortable and vulnerable. This allowed me to really dive deep and address issues I had. I could not recommend Joni more!

  • "Joni has helped me tremendously both on a personal and professional level. When the company program ended, I elected to continue with bi-weekly coaching sessions to focus on taking myself to the next level. As a result, I've booked several speaking engagements, lost almost 20 lbs, begun writing a book, and have a real focus on getting the results I want. The biggest thing I've learned so far (and it's endless) is that I'm not a victim, and I can choose success, I just have to focus and do the work. I highly recommend working with Joni for both personal and professional goals. She has a great story, she listens, and tells you the hard stuff that you don't always want to hear, but need to.”
