ABOUT JAYNE

Background Information:

Jayne Nakata is a coach and podcaster, creator of the award winning Transformations with Jayne Podcast. A podcast that has over 120 episodes and has been connecting people since 2018. Jayne also runs PodLaunch with Jayne, a podcast launching and show production service. See the list of the shows she has worked on here.

Originally from New Zealand, Jayne has lived in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan for nearly 20 years. After the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster hit her Japanese home town in 2011, she decided not to "run away", but to stay and overcome the challenges of living there. In 2020, her family embarked on another adventure to live in Sweden for what they thought would be three years. Due to the impact of Covid she found herself back in Japan after just a year and set about rebuilding her life again.

Since then she has started her own podcast consulting, coaching and production business and continues to work on living her best life wherever she is with her family and dog Sebastian. Jayne’s multi award winning PodLaunch Family is a growing network of podcasts that focus on community and empowering women.
