It Takes 100 Tries to Find a Schedule that Works
I found an old schedule I made that included an hour of "Circle Time" and fifteen minutes for "Planning Healthful Meals!" and I cannot stop laughing. Needless to say, it didn't last a week. But that's all part of the process. *If you could take a second to leave a short review on iTunes (or wherever you listen to this podcast) I'd appreciate it! I read every review personally and they make my day.* - Jen

You're Not the Only One Having a Faith Crisis
I decided to address an elephant in the room: a lot of people are struggling with faith right now. In this episode I share my advice on how to deal with that, coming from my perspective as a former atheist. Though anyone who follows me on Instagram will know that I am probably the worst person to take spiritual guidance from. P.S. If you have a sec to leave a review on iTunes I would LOVE that! I read each one personally and they make my day brighter. - Jen

It's Okay to Want an Audience
If you've ever thought about writing a book, starting a podcast, growing a popular Instagram account, or putting yourself out there in any public way, this is the episode for you!

I'm Being Superstitious Again
Just when you thought my superstitious behavior couldn't get weirder, I'm all freaked out about a stupid comet.

I read every one and they make my day.*

I Was So Weird With Chip Gaines
I ran into Joanna Gaines' husband, Chris, and made everything super weird. If you ever hear that the Gaines family has issued a restraining order against me, this is why. But the whole experience was an example of God moving during difficult times, and we all have to look out for moments like that right now. *THANK YOU for your reviews! I read each one personally. Keep them coming!*

Most Habit Advice Is Bad and Wrong
Habits can change your life, but only if you develop ones that work with your nature, not against it. I learned this through much trial and error, which is how I am now an expert at pretending like I have had an emergency which is why I have to leave the gym after seven minutes. P.S. If you have a sec to leave a review on iTunes I'd really appreciate it!

Reject "Try Harder" Culture
When you reject "try harder" culture and accept that maybe you're just not good at this area of life, really cool things start to happen. You'll find that you start living in an "economy of love" (a term that I made up and am very proud of). P.S. I love iTunes reviews! Keep them coming!
