An extra podcast? You are welcome, you lucky, lucky people. We've teamed up with Carte Noire, makers of delicious coffee and big proponents of the French art of living, to celebrate the joy of living life to the full. We're also huge fans of YOU DO YOU, MATE! so in this episode we chat about what that means to us. For Jen, it's cycling across America, for Mick, it's having a nice sit down and a stare with a mug of the good stuff, and for Hannah, it's making the decision to put herself first sometimes.And we did – of course! – get some other excellent women involved: workaholic journalist Hazel Davis talks about the importance of taking a break, mental health advocate Lucy Nichol tells us why it's key to be true to yourself, and teacher Lucy Reynolds shares her sanity-saving (occasionally stealth) coffee rituals. Brew up, get comfy and enjoy. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

While some stories remain in your heart, others simply make you laugh out loud. Jen Spyra's storytelling oscillates between the two. You may recognize Jen's work from her roles at revered comedic havens like The Onion and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert or from her bylines in publications like The New Yorker and McSweeney's. Most recently, Jen has channeled her editorial expertise into her debut book. Enter Big Time, Jen's comedic story collection that has received praise from industry giants like Tina Fey, Jack Handey, and Mindy Kaling.  In Big Time, Jen lends her sharp—sometimes irreverent—comedic voice to fourteen jaw-dropping short stories. While these works may be fictitious in nature, Jen doesn't shy away from using humor to examine the facts of contemporary culture—and in turn, her own life. For Jen, comedy often stems from a place of empathy and paying attention. In this interview, Jen shared more about these ideas along with the role of pace in her writing process, how she's defined her distinct comedic sensibility, and what instincts she had to unlearn to write Big Time. A transcript of this episode is also available on our website: https://www.slowstoriespodcast.com/community/slow-stories-podcast-show-notes-jen-spyra-big-time.

But Jen believes that we should focus more of who we are! I always ask my guests at the beginning of the show " tell the audience who you are and what you do" and I really loved her answer to this question! Jen has shares her story about 2 major identity shifts(caused by injury and ehalth issues) in her journey first as a dancer and then as the founder of a non-proft society that allowed her to learn this valuable lesson to separate your worth from your work!

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO RAMP UP and TO SCALE BACKIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to ramp up. This is actually a phrasal verb that means to increase production. Probably the best example of this in the world right now would be the companies that are making vaccines. They are trying to ramp up their production. They are trying to increase their production. They're trying to make as many vaccines as they possibly can each and every day. A long time ago, they were producing a certain number every day, but because they've been able to ramp up their production, they can now produce more vaccines every day than they could last fall or late last fall, or that they could just a few months ago. So they have definitely been able to ramp up their production.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH FOR, "BOB THE CANADIAN"✅If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrasal verb, to scale back. Which actually means exactly the opposite. Eventually, I'm going to assume that these companies will need to scale back their production. When you scale back your production or when you scale something back, it means you reduce the amount that you are producing.For Jen and I here on the farm, just to review, in the spring and summer we ramp up our production of flowers. We grow more and more flowers all the time. And as fall approaches, and the cold weather approaches, we tend to scale back. We tend to reduce the number of flowers that we are producing. Actually, we don't choose to scale back. The weather just sort of causes that to happen.So again, to review quickly. To ramp up means to increase the production of something, and to scale back means to reduce the production of something. Now, this doesn't always have to do with producing things. You could ramp up the amount of exercise you're doing every week. You could scale back the amount of exercise you're doing every week. So, both phrases do apply in other situations as well.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Mohd Ags. And it's from the lesson where I talked about cracking a joke, and his response or his comment is this. "He cracked a smile. Then cracked a joke thinking it'd crack the audience up. Unfortunately, nobody laughed, and he instantly realized his joke is not all it's cracked up to be." And my response was, "Nice work, Mohd. That's perfect." So, Mohd Ags, that is a great example of using a whole bunch of different phrases with the word cracked in it: cracked up, not all it's cracked up to be. You obviously learned a lot in the last lesson or it was at least a good review for you. So thanks for that comment.Hey, so, I was just gonna mention a couple of things. Winter went away again. So, I know last week I was making videos and it was quite cold. Last Friday, I didn't even go outside to make a video because it was so cold. Now I'm outside again. And the world has returned to its beautiful green color. So, the snow melted. It's actually 14 degrees Celsius right now. So, a little warmer than I was expecting. So, a little bit of an update on the weather.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadian)

An awakening. This is the term Jen Holly uses to describe what many of us (myself included) would usually refer to as a midlife crisis. “I’m having a crisis” versus “I’m having an awakening.” Talk about reaching for a better feeling thought! To me, this is what Jen Holly exemplifies: the journey and process for choosing better feeling thoughts to describe what is going on around us. Jen opens up about a difficult moment in mid-life when, after years and years of not feeling and pushing things down, she decided to allow all her feelings to rise to the surface. How did she do it? Why did she do it? How did she know this was the right thing to do? For Jen, it was a combination of training in the powerful Law of Attraction and following her intuition. The results held powerful lessons for Jen and, I believe, for all of us who can relate to looking outside ourselves for answers to big internal questions about who we are, why we’re here and what we want. What can open up for us when we allow old energy to surface and release? What can we invite in when we break down our false selves, silence our inner critic who occupies so much of our attention, and welcome our authentic selves? We discuss the answers to these questions and how Jen, having found her own creativity, her own power, her own abundance, is helping others do the same through her Law of Attraction coaching program. To learn more about Jen Holly, follow her on Instragram @the_write_vibe. I reached Jen at her home outside Toronto.

You heard from Jen Ren in ep 60 about the eclectic fields and careers she's pursued since entering college (as a refresher, it ranges from animal welfare to tech to design to medicine... really the list goes on). Now, let's get up to speed how the beginning of med school has been going for Jen! (read: remotely, all on Zoom).A common misconception of med  school is that the curriculum is rigid, and students are limited to only learning topics and issues that solely fit under the category of "medicine," leaving no time to explore other interests. However, we were delighted to hear Jen share how there have been many intersections with medicine that she's been able to explore in her short time at school: from looking into food and medicine, bringing in her design thinking and innovative mindset to a student organization, as well as learning about the social & structural determinants of health that address factors of SES, race, etc.For Jen, med school, while having constraints of operating under COVID circumstances, has just been another arena of exploration and testing personal hypotheses, as well as building strong community despite physical distance.Episode that features Jen:⟡ 60.

While most military spouses support military spouses, Jen Amos is a Gold Star daughter supporting military spouses. The term "Gold Star" describes a family member who has lost a loved one in military service. For Jen, that was when she lost her father while he was on active duty when she was 10 years old. Today, as a Veteran Spouse and Director of Operations for a military-focused financial firm, she feel compelled to giving back to military spouses, in honor of her father and mother who always have been "holding down the fort" for her siblings and as a military spouse.

Every person I speak to has his or her own unique story of when and how this pandemic hit them, and each is so distinctly beautiful and different. So in this Connection thru Chaos series, I want to give people the chance to share their firsthand accounts. In this episode, we’ll hear from no other than THE Jen Casey.  Jen is a Brain-Based Business Coach, and she works with other online coaches who want to build, sell, and effectively run high-level coaching programs. She also does a whole lot of fun stuff within the field of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis and sprinkles all of that expertise into the way in which she approaches building a business.  In today’s episode, though, Jen and I talk about what it's like living - and moving homes! - in New York City during this pandemic.  Jen was actually hosting a mastermind class when the crisis unfolded and her life has felt pretty nonstop ever since. Jen’s biggest concern going into the event was about the emotional and mental state of everyone who was going to attend, but she hoped to create a safe space where everybody could really do the work that needed to be done and go home feeling recharged. Thankfully, that’s exactly how the event went down.  For Jen, this trying time is actually what she’s been training and preparing for, as a leader and a coach. She’s always wanted to have plenty of tools in her metaphorical toolbox to work with, to be able to respond to each situation accordingly and make the necessary shifts and pivots based on what was going on.  Ultimately, Jen has a few takeaways from this pandemic so far. First, we can all take this time to learn how to deepen our trust in one another and come together against a common enemy.  Secondly, we’re at a point where companies need to innovate in their messaging, businesses, and even their personal relationships while trying to work from home with kids. But needing to innovate in every area of our lives can be extremely mentally taxing. So it’s perfectly alright to give yourself permission to rest so that you can continue to evolve and do what you need to do.  Rest is just as important as work, that’s what we all tend to forget.  Catch the Live Video Here!:Connection Thru Chaos with Jen Casey Connect with Jen Casey:WebsiteInstagramFacebookFB Group: Online Coaches Make Bank If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot of the episode to post in your stories and tag me!

So far, our planet appears to have narrowly survived the Week That Will Live In Infamy (see Episode 7!), and the Sun decides Saturn and Pluto need a party. April and Jen use Venus entering Pisces as an opportunity to spread the loving gospel of Mister Rogers, and April assures Jen that Mercury is far more excellent in Aquarius than seems plausible. This week’s Moonwatch segment is brought to you by the Last Quarter Moon in Libra and April and Jen humming doo-doo-doo. Plus: Bob Ross, people. Bob. Ross.

Episode links: 00:34 – The word of the week is “portmanteau.”  And – recollecting that April has previously deployed the gallicisms bonhomie to describe The Repair Shop (see Episode 6) and bon vivant to describe Jupiter (see Episode 2) – Jen wonders whether her podpal is secretly fluent in French. [“Non.” ~ April] 01:12 – Podkeeping: The BSA podcast arrives in your podcatcher each Monday morning… and if you are enjoying the podcast, please take one second to give us a 5-star review (it helps spread the word)! 02:20 – As the dust settles after the intense Lunar Eclipse (see Episode 7) on the 10th and the epic Saturn/Pluto conjunction (Episode 6 & 7) on the 12th, the Sun joins the soirée. The “official” story behind those celestial fireworks is unveiled; how is it playing out for you personally? 04:44 – What are rulerships? A brief, but hardly concise, description. 7:57 – Also on the 13th, Venus enters Pisces, where she is… 08:37 – …exalted. Jen asks: What is this “exalted” business anyway, how do we know each planet’s sign of exaltation, and will this be on the test? April shares a beautiful example of Venus in Pisces (thanks, Mom), and Jen is reminded of Fred Rogers and the podcast Finding Fred. This cosmic dictate is strong right now: Be gentle, be loving, be kind. 12:40 – Will April and Jen ever do an episode on Chiron? April will have to collect her peanuts first. 15:59 – Mercury dons his lab coat/Geek Squad shirt and enters Aquarius on January 16th. And April explains (and possibly demonstrates) why Mercury is a little too comfortable in Leo. 21:11 – Mercury, moving quickly, squares Uranus on the 18th and spills the real beans on the Sun’s recent conclave with Saturn/Pluto. 21:45 – Uranus is the “higher octave” of Mercury. Neptune and Pluto practice their scales, too, as they are the cosmic collaborators of Venus and Mars. 23:57 – Breaking News! In this week’s Moonwatch segment, we consider the Last Quarter Moon at 27 degrees Libra on the Sabian Symbol (see Episode 7), “An airplane hovering overhead.” What’s capturing your attention? (For Jen, it’s the fact that Blain Bovee looks like one of her favorite movie stars of all time, Jimmy Stewart.) 26:30 – How did the first month of the year get its name? His name is Janus. 26:43 – A plug from Jen: Subscribe for free to April’s awesome mailing list, won’t you? Subscribers get a free “Working with the Moon” workbook, updated each month! This is a 10+ page PDF that you’d pay big bucks for elsewhere!

But, the project got canceled when NASA decided to take a different approach to the escape pod docking system. For the Google Glass project, Jen was mainly involved in building out the developer platforms. Her team’s aim was to make it as easy as possible for people to build applications for Glass. (2.32) – Can you give us a couple of examples? Some of the most interesting applications involved helping people with accessibility issues to find their way around the world. Developers with hearing and vision impairments were particularly active. They could see all sorts of possibilities for Google Glass. (3.04) - Do you feel that Google Glass has a bit of ahead of its time when it first came out? With emerging technology, it can take a while for it to find its place in the ecosystem. Jen is not involved in Google Glass, at the moment, but says that it appears to have found its place. (3.39) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? For years, Jen heard people saying that taking risks leads to great rewards and adventures. So she pushed herself and took risks. Sometimes things worked out well, other times, not so much. Initially, when things looked like they were moving in the wrong direction, Jen would hang in there. Now, she is not scared to quit. Her recommendation when going into something new is to review how things are going after a pre-set period of time. Then pause and ask yourself if the role really is for you. If it does not feel quite right, don’t be afraid to quit. Resist the temptation to give it one more month or another year.  (6.03) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? And what you learned from that experience. Jen’s first IT related job was working for a semiconductor company as a process engineer. Her role was to split out the data for serial memory chips into a sequence of events. The job was not exciting, but she was learning a lot. More importantly, she was working with a fantastic team of people. She was only about 20 at the time, so their support was particularly important for Jen. But, when NASA offered a job it was too much to resist. She took the job. Unfortunately, it turned out not to be the dream job she thought it would be. She was no longer happy in her work life. That situation taught her the importance of periodically pausing and evaluating her career choices. Now, if she is not happy she moves on quickly. (8.10) – What was your best career moment? Working on Developer Relations of Google Glass was something Jen really enjoyed. At one hackathon they investigated how the glasses could be used by a team member who was completely blind. They came up with all sorts of viable applications. For example, placing QR codes on objects to warn of hazards. The glasses could pick up those codes and use the bone conducting speaker to discreetly notify the wearer of the danger. The visually impaired colleague they were working with could already see (feel) a lot of things using his cane. But, would occasionally walk into a low sign or something similar, because he had no way of knowing the objects were at his head height. The QR codes solved that problem.  (10.18) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that more people than ever before are learning to code is exciting. As people from different backgrounds get more involved in IT, a whole new ecosystem is opening up. (11.33) – What drew you to a career in IT? Jen got sucked into the world of IT partly because she wanted to be able to cheat on video games. A task that was not easy in the 80s and 90s. Without realizing it, her quest to complete more game levels lead to her reverse engineering the code. She did not have the source code but was able to make changes using the hex editor. (12.20) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? Jen says the best advice she has received cannot really be summed up in one line. You need to recognize the two main styles of IT career and decide which one is right for you. Some people are suited to digging deep into a subject and becoming a specialist. That approach usually turns out to be very lucrative. In particular when you become one of the go-to people for that technology. But, it is not for everyone. Luckily, the other approach the journalist route also works. It is easier to find more opportunities and working in that way is enriching. (12.59) – On the flip side, what is the worst career advice you've ever received? Again, Jen does not have a specific one-liner to share. But, comments that the idea that women are not good at tech is definitely not true. So, you should definitely not listen to that argument and let it hold you back. (13.30) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Jen would take an emerging platform and find, new and innovative ways to apply it to business.  (13.54) - So you like the idea of using innovation for disruption? Jen likes the idea of using tech to do something new and unusual. Sometimes the emerging platform you choose will not become widely used. If that happens there is no need to be too concerned. Using new tech to solve real-life challenges is the best way to learn and make a difference. (14.40) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Jen is pivoting towards working on making software safer and more secure. As software touches more areas of our lives security becomes an increasingly important issue.  (15.30) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Learning to express her ideas clearly, is a skill that has proved to be invaluable for Jen.  (15.54) - So communicating your ideas? How do you do that? Is it verbal, visual or a combination of all those things? Usually, it is a combination of the two. Jen is careful to empathize with the person or audience she is presenting or speaking to. This drives the format she uses. Sometimes a verbal presentation combined with a few slides will work best. Other times, designing a small game to demonstrate the issue and her solution works. It can be a good way to tease out more information about the problem from the customer or audience. (16.58) - What do you do to keep your own IT career energized? Jen finds teaching keeps her energized. She is lucky enough to be able to do this in both formal and informal settings. Jen particularly enjoys working with artists on installation art projects. They are always coming up with new ways to use technology. (17.39) - What do you do in your spare time away from technology? Jen is very aware of the fact that working in tech is hard on the body. So, she is careful to take time out to do something fun and physical. For Jen, at the moment, that means ice hockey and aerial silks. She also enjoys wandering around cities exploring. (18.12) – Phil asks Jen to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. Should you find yourself in a bad situation where you feel miserable change things. Don’t waste energy worrying about whose fault it is or how you got there. Instead, focus on getting out of that situation and learning from it. BEST MOMENTS: (4.29) JEN – "It is OK to quit." (10.18) JEN – "I always love it when people use tech in ways I didn't anticipate." (13.30) JEN – "Find an emerging platform and apply it to business areas that people aren't normally using it for." (15.47) JEN – "I can have the greatest ideas, but if I can't present them clearly they will stay stuck in my mind and not help anyone." (17.50) JEN – “I try to optimize my time away from technology by doing fun things that helped me stay fit."

GUEST BIO: Jen Bunk is a career coach for tech managers, helping them to upgrade their teams, careers, paychecks and lives. Jen is also the host of the People Stack podcast, where she interviews authors, coaches and leaders of tech companies from around the world. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s show is Jen Bunk. Her path into the world of IT was a long one. She started out working in the academic world. Today, she helps tech managers to upgrade their careers. She teaches them how to share what they are doing and the value that adds effectively. That is in a way that quickly leads to promotion, bigger paychecks and a better work-life balance. Her advice is tailored to fit in with the career objectives of each of the people she helps. Jen is the host of the People Stack podcast for which she interviews career coaches, authors and tech leaders, for around the globe. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (0.56) – So Jen, can I ask you to expand on that brief intro and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Jen starts by saying how cool it is for her to be interviewed rather than being the one doing the interviewing. She explains that she is a career coach for technical managers. That means that she helps engineering managers, IT managers, technical project and product managers and others. Occasionally, she will work with data analytics specialists or science team leaders too. She helps these people to upgrade their careers. To get a promotion, move fields get a raise and a lot more besides. Her aim is to help them to do this without having to work ridiculously long hours to achieve this. (2.46) – Do the people you work with have different career objectives? Jen says yes, everyone has a unique story. So, they have different goals and career paths that they want to follow. But, there is one thing that ties them all together. They all feel that they are stuck in their career. Usually, they have worked hard to try to progress, but not been able to do so. Others are doing OK, but are having to work ridiculous hours to achieve what they want or stay in their roles. Most of her clients are middle management. Typically, she is working with the people who directly lead the tech teams. (4.03) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? If you want to upgrade your career, it is not enough to be excellent, and strive to be the best and continually add value. That is only part of it. You need to evangelize that excellence; essentially you have to become good at self-promotion. Jen calls it self promotion on steroids. You need to let others know what you are doing and how it is benefiting the organization you work for. (5.13) - So, do you have any specific suggestions of how people should go about doing that themselves? Jen says that this type of self-promotion has to be done carefully. First, you have to get comfortable with the fact that you are going to have to promote yourself. Self-promotion is something that makes a lot of people squirm. What you need to do to get started depends on the circumstances you are in. If you are not doing any self-promoting you need to ask yourself why that is and work out how to get started. Whereas, if you are already doing it and it is not working you would need to take a different approach. Perhaps you would need to communicate more clearly or share what you are doing in other arenas. There is no one size fits all answer. (6.29) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? And what you learned from that experience. Jen explains that in her former life, she was a college professor. About 10 years into her career, she applied for promotion and tenure. A move that is not uncommon, often, the two go hand in hand. The process of gaining tenure and getting promoted is a long one that typically takes about a year. It involves working with and being assessed by various departments at different levels. For example, working with the Dean of the College, as you go through each level you are assessed. This process starts at the department level. So, initially it is your colleagues, people you work with every day that consider your applications. Unfortunately, at this stage, the department committee told her they were happy to support her for tenure, but not for promotion. Naturally, Jen was shocked and angry. It was a real ‘what just happened to me moment?’ Getting through the meeting was a trial. She could not work out why her colleagues had made that decision. In the end, both the Dean and the provost supported and recommended her. So, ultimately she got tenure and promotion. It was not a great experience, but it was one that Jen learned from. Only then did she realize that the Dean knew what she was doing so could understand the value she was adding. But, importantly, the people she worked with every day did not. The result of that situation was nearly disastrous. (10.03) – Presumably you have taken what you learned from that experience and applied it to your coaching career. Jen says yes definitely. That is where her ‘evangelizing your excellence’ message came from. Her anger at her colleagues turned to understanding when she realized she had not made sure they knew what she was contributing. It was a hard lesson to learn, but a learning moment that means she can be very effective at stopping others from continuing to make a similar mistake. (11.20) – Phil asks Jen what their best career moment was. For Jen, that has been being able to grow her coaching business at an astonishing rate. After just 3 years in business, they reached the 6 figure turnover point. This was a huge achievement in an industry where most coaches typically turnover between $30,000 and $40,000 per annum. It is an achievement that shows what they are doing is effective. Her clients are getting amazing results. (12.20) – Phil says I assume you get some great career stories from the people you are working with. Jen agrees and explains that she is now sharing more of them. At first it felt a little weird, after all these are personal stories. But, she has found that when people are doing great they really want to share their experience with others. (13.00) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact it is always changing is what excites Jen the most about the industry. The other day, her husband was talking to their nine-year-old son about what he wants to do when he is older. He ended up explaining that neither of the jobs his parents do now and love doing did not even exist when they were kids. Within the IT industry, new careers are constantly emerging. Phil agrees and reminds the audience that this ever-changing landscape means that there are always plenty of opportunities for progress. (14.25) – What drew you to a career in IT? Even in the 80s, Jen loved tech. Her brother got a computer for Christmas. Jen wanted to play on it all the time. So, now she works in the industry she feels like she has come home somehow. (15.12) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? That would be – take extreme ownership of your career. Make sure you are always in the driver’s seat. Phil agrees the days where the firm you worked for automatically helped you to learn more and progress your career are long gone. (15.42) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Interestingly, Jen would not do anything differently. She has enjoyed everything she has done, so would do it all again. (16.11) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? In terms of her own career, Jen is building a million dollar business. To do this she will be pulling in other entrepreneur friends. The foundations of this have already been laid with the formation of the Two Comma Club. So, she is switching from fulfilling day to day functions and taking on more of a CEO role. Being the person who sets the strategic vision and leading the way. But, she still plans to do some coaching. Jen wants to continue to have direct access to clients. Phil summarizes this as becoming the person who works on the business rather than in the business. (17.38) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Being a good writer has proved important. But, for Jen her most important non-technical skill has been good time management. It has enabled her to be as effective as possible. (17.45) – Phil asks Jen to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. If you want to progress your career, you have to take true ownership of it.  When it comes to our careers many of us act like we are the pawns in a game of chess rather than the player. All too often we sit there waiting for opportunities to come along. Instead we should be acting like the player and be the one who makes things happen. You can, and should, be the one to move the pieces around the board. A client once told her that he felt like he was wearing a pair of golden handcuffs. He was making a lot of money and a great position, but, he did not really like where he worked. Plus, he was working 60 hours a week.  So, Jen asked him – who put those golden handcuffs on? Of course, it was him, which was great news because it meant that he could take them off. Phil says that is a great analogy. All you need to do to take them off is to realize that you have the key. BEST MOMENTS: (4.17) JEN – "It's not enough to simply be excellent, and strive to be the best and continually add value.” (4.58) JEN – “Building the excellence and the evangelist excellence coming together is what leads to career upgrading."  (15.16) JEN – "Take extreme ownership, it's your career. It's no one else's. You're in the driver's seat." (18.19) JEN – "I like to make sure that every moment is used as effectively and efficiently as possible" (19.49) JEN – "It can be really hard to realize that I'm the one who put myself in this situation. But I can get myself out because I'm the player, not just a pawn."

http://www.alainguillot.com/jen-hemphill/ This is the first time I interview a fellow Latino. Like me, Jen is also from Colombia. I felt the connections right from the first email. I am so happy to have this interview. Jen Hemphill calls herself a "money confidence coach," but her real title is "Accredited Financial Counselor." Jen helps women gain confidence in their finances, she is a mother of two boys and a military wife. Because Jen is a military wife, she and her family moved quite often, which made it difficult for Jane to have a regular steady job. For Jen, it was important to be at home with her kids but she also wanted a career. After a long research, Jen decided to go into personal finance. There was a military spouse fellowship program to support military spouses and give them the tools to create a portable career. That was the beginning of the road to become an Accredited Financial Counselor. The next question was: "How to promote her services?" It was at this time that Jen started learning about all the ways to promote her services through internet marketing. The first piece of the puzzle to figure out was: Who do I want to serve, and how can I do that? On her early study of online marketing, Jen learned about building a website, building a course, building a newsletter, but she came to the realization that she was not a blogger. To write regular content was not what appealed to her, her perfectionist personality continued getting on the way. She also found a lot of challenges. By process of elimination, she arrived at podcasting as her preferred medium of communication to reach her audience. Jen offers one-on-one coaching. Jen focuses as much as she can on building the confidence of her clients so that they can achieve the goals they have set out for themselves. She also offers support through a community. See her "Work with Me" page. About the book, Her Money Matters, Jen was approached by a publishing house. She wasn't sure why the publishing house approached her because she sees herself as a podcaster, but after some reflecting, she realized what a great opportunity that was and she set up to start writing the book. There are three kinds of stories we tell ourselves. Our past money stories. How did we grow up around money? What did we hear? What did we experience? Our present money story. Are you repeating some of the cycles of the past? Our future money story. We have to create it. How do you want to live? How do you want to feel about money?  

She was born without legs. Later on, she was placed for adoption. Two life-changing events that would leave most of us hopeless. But, Jen Bricker was different. She said, “I played softball, volleyball, and basketball with no wheelchair or prosthetics. At the time, I didn't think it was out of the norm. I didn't think it was amazing. I didn't understand why everyone thought it was amazing. To me, I was just doing what I loved and what I was good at.” Out of all of the sports, it was gymnastics that took her to places she had never been to before. It was gymnastics that revealed one of the biggest secrets in her life. She said, “I grew up in Southern Illinois. There really wasn't much diversity… Nobody looked like me, and certainly, no one was Romanian… So, when I saw her, not only did she look like me, which no one looked like me, but she was Romanian, and she was doing my favorite sport.” At 16, she began looking for answers in order to make sense of the similarities between Jen and her idol, Dominique Moceanu, Olympic gold medalist. Her findings were mind-boggling. Jen's childhood idol was in fact her biological sister. She said, “The person that I was drawn to as a kid... there is a reason why I was drawn to her.” After several failed attempts, Jen and Dominique finally met. For some, it may be just a story. For Jen, it was a confirmation that you can achieve anything that you set your mind to. The building blocks behind life and success can be found in her newly published book, “Everything Is Possible: Finding the Faith and Courage to Follow Your Dreams.” EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: On self-development: Don't compare yourself to others On new opportunities: Have no expectations On possibilities: You can achieve anything that you set your mind to On self worth: We're all on this planet for a different purpose. We all matter

Today, our ladies Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach, along with Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, and Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, share their thoughts on managing stress and anxiety when big changes come around.        Currently, the US election and resulting change in power has created much change, and for Lisa Sharp, the dismantling of things that she holds dear.  One of the things she undertook as self care was to unlike and unfollow anything in her Facebook feed that made her feel anxiety and stress.  Instead of allowing the bombardment of news and social media, she now choose which ones to engage with, and limits the amount of article she reads.  She emphasizes that self-care is even more important in times of change.   Lisa Carpenter spoke of a difficult time in her life five years ago, when her husband went into rehab, and she thought her life was over.  In order to be able to cope with this huge change, she learned to focus on what she did have control over - her health, her mindset, and her non-negotiables.  She also learned that this change, however difficult, was necessary in order for things to get better.  Her advice is for others to show up as best as they can for themselves, so they can then support others who need help.   For Jen, the change in the country is bringing out correlations to her childhood, which was fraught with domestic violence and abuse.  She feels that there are some hard-won rights that women have gotten used to, that are now in jeopardy, and that we have to fight back and stand strong for our rights.  She is taking action, and although that makes her feel better, she recognizes that she does have to have boundaries and protect her sanity.     Closing thought…   When it comes to managing stress & anxiety with change, recognize where your feelings are coming from, what parts you need to address, and taking the opportunity to find out what you really need to heal within yourself.      Be sure to share your thoughts with the  The “All the Stuff” gals in their Facebook Group, a safe place to share and connect!   You can find out more about our resident experts and their programs on their websites:    Lisa Carpenter’s Program E.A.T!, Lisa Sharp’s The Blueprint Group Program, and Jen Turrell’s Money Matters Mastermind.  

Jen is a 41 year old Running and Triathlon Coach based in Australia who loves trail running and being outdoors. About 12 years ago, she was an over-stressed, over-weight and over-worked Lawyer and then she went for a run - and life hasn’t been the same since! Since then she’s done 2 x 50km races and a 100km team event. She hiked and climbed mountains on 4 continents (including mountaineering in Nepal, Argentina, climbing Kilimanjaro & Meru in Tanzania, as well as completing the Everest Base Camp trek, and the Inca Trail in Peru!).  Since Jen found her new passion, she left her old job of being a lawyer and set up her own business called Sparta Chicks for women who enjoy triathlons, trail running and outdoor adventures. As well as this she has recently written a book called, "She Believed She Could So She Did: How to Train, Race and Live with Confidence" (which went to #1 in 3 categories in Amazon Australia). For Jen the focus of her work these days is on mindset; overcoming the fears, self-doubt and the stories we tell ourselves about what we can and can’t do. Jen is a passionate supporter of women and loves watching women thrive when they discover endurance sports and outdoor adventures.

Jen serves as pro bono CEO for CHILDREN IN CHRIST ("CIC”), a ministry focused on reaching and maturing children with His Love and Word so they can lead others to Christ. The ministry currently serves 20 African countries across the 10/40 Window, with over 18,000 inspired and equipped indigenous local church pastors and volunteers ministering to over 200,000 children weekly. CIC operates at the core of engagement with Muslims and many of these precious children come from over 100 of the most unreached people groups in the world. By God’s grace, in 2015 alone over 78,527 children received Christ as Lord and Savior. Jennifer received her BA from Yale and MBA from Harvard. She, her husband Adrian and their three children lived in Tanzania, East Africa for several years and will soon be relocating to Cambodia. For Jen, the blessing of nurturing and discipling her own kids and now also sharing the love and truth of Jesus with a continent of children is an unspeakable and humbling surprise, privilege and joy.Continue reading →

For Jen's last hour-long show before the Jennifer Fulwiler Show goes daily, she's joined by Lino Rulli, the channel's afternoon drive-time host. Jen gives Lino training in understanding "woman-speak," then Lino helps Jen get ready for her new daily show by putting her through a radio training course. Lino pretends to be a half-asleep guest and a ranting caller, and Jen dies laughing when she encounters real technical problems in the midst of it.
