What is fear?Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines fear as:A negative, short-lasting, high-alert emotion in response to a perceived threat, and, like anxiety, it can be measured as a state or trait.Our fear response evolves over time to help us protect ourselves from dangerous situations. It can be disruptive and destructive, leading to anxiety, stress, and even panic attacks. But when used effectively, fear can push us to achieve great things, heightening our senses and preparing us to take quick and appropriate action to defend ourselves or others. Jenn Leconte joins us on this episode to share how she has taken fear to a whole different level and used it for good. Instead of paralyzing her, fear enabled her to recover and reach exponential success. She tells her story about coming to America from Jamaica at the age of 16 for college and learning how to cook to make ends meet. Left with almost nothing after a failed first marriage, Jenn chose to persevere and overcome the obstacles in starting a restaurant without any prior experience. This dedication and effort, moving herself away from her initial fears to a new comfort level, led her to become an award-winning chef based in Eatonville, Florida. Jenn is the Founder and CEO of DaJen Eats, specializing in vegan recipes with a Jamaican flair. Her passion is to help people learn new techniques and discover exciting flavors on their food journey.What You Will Learn From This Episode01:57 - What Jenn Leconte is obsessed with03:28 - Jenn's food and culinary arts story 08:12 - Making veganism more accessible12:32 - Moving forward after a failed marriage15:02 - Building a business while being fearful16:56 - Motivated and befriended by fear22:27 - Recognizing one's resiliency and coming into terms with fearResources MentionedBrené Brown's 30 core emotions: https://brenebrown.com/resources/list-of-core-emotions/ Atlas of the HeartMel Robbins' The 5 Second Rule: https://www.amazon.com/Second-Rule-Transform-Confidence-Everyday/dp/1682612384 Learn More About Jenn LeconteWebsite: https://dajeneats.square.site/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/dajeneats/Instagram: https://instagram.com/dajeneats/ See What Your Obsessed Girls Are Doing and Send Us Feedback!CROWN AND COMPASS | Linktree - https://linktr.ee/crownandcompassgirls

Here’s to the manicurist who had to leave her family to come here, painting the nails, scrubbing the feet of strangers. Here’s to the janitors who don’t understand English yet work hard despite it all. Here’s to the fast food workers who work hard to see their family smile. Here’s to the laundry man at the Marriott who told me with the sparkle in his eyes how he was an engineer in Peru. Here’s to the bus driver, the Turkish Sufi who almost danced when I quoted Rumi. Here’s to the harvesters who live in fear of being deported for coming here to open the road for their future generation. Here’s to the taxi drivers from Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and India who gossip amongst themselves. Here is to them waking up at 4am, calling home to hear the voices of their loved ones. Here is to their children, to the children who despite it all become artists, writers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, activists and rebels. Here’s to international money transfer. For never forgetting home. Here’s to their children who carry the heartbeats of their motherland and even in sleep, speak with pride about their fathers.
