You are more than a milspouse. Absolutely. But the reality is that, for many of us, being a military spouse becomes a large part of our identity. And the longer that our spouse serves, the more this is true. There's a shared culture, experience, language, and understanding that comes with living the military lifestyle.     So what happens when your spouse reaches the end of their service? What does that mean for you and for your identity?   That's the question I explore with Jen McDonald. Jen is an award-winning author and podcaster. She's the author of the book, You Are Not Alone: Encouragement for the Heart of a Military Spouse, and Milspouse Matters: Sharing Strength Through Our Stories, which was released in October 2023. Jen is the host of the Milspouse Matters podcast and The Christian Milspouse podcast, with a mission to strengthen and encourage military spouses.  Better Together, Christine   MENTIONS Leave a Show Review Connect with Jen jen-mcdonald.com Facebook Instagram Milspouse Matters Book You Are Not Alone: Encouragement for the Heart of a Military Spouse    RESOURCES Free Unstuck Coaching Session Free Clarity Workshop Self-Guided Clarity Course Free Milspouse Community What Matters Most Worksheet Design a Life You Love Assessment

"What's the worst that could happen?"... said no Enneagram 6, EVER. They already know. And have already prepared for it! Join us for a candid discussion on what's it's like to be a Loyalist on the Enneagram from our resident six, Claire, and our guest contributor, Jen McDonald. The Loyalist needs to feel secure. Sixes are likely the most common Enneagram type and are devoted, cooperative, and warmhearted. Their thoughts are often dominated with planning for worst-case scenarios, and they can exhibit anxiety and even paranoia when in the lower levels of health. Doubt and suspicion can pose an obstacle to relationships for Sixes, but once trust is established they can be loyal to a fault. Community is of utmost importance -- there’s safety in numbers. Healthy Sixes are committed to the common good, and are steadfast, reliable, and honest.Just in case you may have missed some of our other discussions or want to refresh your memory, check out this list of episodes: The Enneagram (overview)Enneagram and Relationships Becoming Your Own Guru e-course audio files (Patreon)Prefer to read?

On this episode of Breezin' Chats, Cindy Dervech is joined with co-hosts Jessie Soplinski and Michael Dervech for a special interview with Jen McDonald, a finalist from Breezin' Magazine's 40 under 40 awards. Jen is one of the first finalists to be featured in Breezin' Chats. So please give a warm welcome to Jen McDonald! Listen as Jen shares her journey on how she got started in the insurance field, the obstacles she faced, the accomplishments she made, and her next moves for the future. As a Philadelphia native, Jen grew up taking subways and buses to school. During college, she was an undecided business major but later found interest in entrepreneurship and insurance from an intro class she took. This lead her to accept an internship in Dallas, Texas where she realized how much of the world she had been missing out on. To broaden her view of the world more, she backpacked through Europe and later decided to move cities and take a job offer in Tampa, FL. Now, she calls Tampa home and runs her insurance business. Along with this, Jen discusses her heavy involvement with the Tampa community. She is a member of several organizations, like the Hillsborough County Citizens Advisory Committee. She is also a candidate for district one of the Hillsborough County Commission. Jen also offers valuable tips and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.

In the last episode, we looked at how people make decisions in a world increasingly flooded with data. I talked with a panel of experts to understand whether gut-based or data-based decision making was more effective in business. What we deduced is that the best decisions are made when balancing both styles – and the worst decisions are made when you lean too hard one way while neglecting the other. But when you work with a team or with clients, your own decision-making style isn’t the only one that matters. So today, we’re looking at how to deal with different decision-making styles in order to alleviate potential conflicts and, ultimately, work better together with your bosses, your clients, and your colleagues.

In business today, being data-driven can be a major factor in whether you and the company you work for succeed or fail. The wealth of information that’s now available is helping us make decisions big and small, strategic and tactical... but we didn’t have all of this data in the past and people were still making good decisions every day. Without a world full of data, people were just relying more on their gut, their instincts. Given this shift towards data and analytics in decision making, I wanted to understand – is one style of decision making now more effective than the other? To help me answer this question, I talked to a number of experts across different fields to get their take: Dr. Mary Lamia, a psychologist who has spent her career studying and encouraging emotional awareness. Dr. Lamia has joined us twice on the show before, back in episodes 9 and 12, to discuss emotions and motivational styles. Jen McDonald, the Executive Director of Client Engagement at global marketing agency VMLY&R. As a 20 year marketing veteran, she’s worked across a variety of industries and has been at the forefront of the digital and data revolution.   Kyle Loudermilk, the President and CEO of GSE Systems, which provides professional and technical engineering, staffing services, and simulation software to clients in the power and process industries. Steve Brown, a Director at Salesforce that’s inspiring growth of Salesforce Einstein by leading a team of talented Specialists committed to driving customer success. And Dana Cavalea, our guest in episode 24 and the former Director of Strength and Conditioning and Performance Enhancement with the New York Yankees Organization. Dana helped pioneer data-driven performance optimization in baseball, and now, Dana brings those same performance optimization techniques to business leaders, entrepreneurs, and pro athletes around the world.
