This is the final episode of the show! After 128 episodes, I have decided to practice that I preach, and make the tough call on priorities and pressures in my life, which means this show will be setting with the sun today. Whether that's forever or for now is not relevant because "forever" is not happening today. With all the demands on my time, I have been facing my own burnout – something I've had as a central theme in many episodes in this show. To protect and love myself, I've taken an inventory of all the things that I am committed to, where they are in the grand scheme of building toward my goals, whether they've served their purpose, and how I might be able to move forward without them. Though it was a hard decision I've grappled with for several months, ending the show here made a lot of sense. Do a Day is not going anywhere, however, with all the resources at your fingertips, as ever. You can still get the book in paperback, Kindle, Audible, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Nook and more. You can still do the Do a Day Masterclass, or sign up for 1-on-1 coaching with me. And the entire back catalog of episodes of the show will still be available for you to go back, listen to, and grow from. With all the stories and inspiration in the 127 episodes that I've released before this final one, I know there is at least one spark that every person in the world could use to start the flame that lets you Go Out and Do It! Respect for all my past guests: Season 1 I kicked the show off sharing the story of Do a Day. Charlie Gilkey shares about how being smart makes you strong. Evan Ruggiero reminds us through his cancer batter that rising up even when half of your world vanishes is possible. Amy Schuber taught us that you are the inspiration you seek. Ryan Caligiuri shared his mantra that there are no set backs, only set ups for what's next. One of my favorite artists, MC YOGI, talked about how all things grow in darkness Anne Sugar shared her battle with cancer as a way to see how you can trust your body even when it betrays you. Chris Wirth hit on his message of never quitting on living the life you deserve. David Ralph reminded us about the power in our lives if we connect the dots. Claude Silver shared her story (for the first time) of why she is who she is today and how that's showed her the importance of Heart in leadership. Elizabeth McCourt talked about the empowerment we can take from building our own resilience. Josh LaJaunie shared his story of overcoming extreme obesity--not just for himself, but for the world around him. Michael Nulty talked about his multiple suicide attempts and how he found rebirth out of depression. Mark Metry shared the importance of taking responsibility for your life and what you can achieve as a new person. My good friend, Aaron Keith Hawkins, talked about how we need to have influence over ourselves if we want to influence anyone else. Kelsey Abbott helped us Find Our Awesome through self-confidence and curiosity. She also gave me a quote I've used almost daily, "What you I say is about me. What you hear is about you." Dorie Clark reminds us of the important of perseverance and consistency if we want to achieve our greatest goals. Sonya Looney, world female mountain bike endurance champion, was just awesome, but had a key message around vulnerability and honesty with ourselves. She also gave me another gem of an idea around being stuck. Rather than being negative about the feeling, she recognizes it's a sign of something big being about to happen. Tim Fargo talked about the humility and balance we can find in unexpected places like failure. The amazing Dr. Jason Brooks shared the importance of being dedicated to finding your purpose and its transformative power on our lives. Jen Arnold shared her story around food and her weight and how that inspired her to change how we look at wellness and knowing ourselves. Lee Havern shared how he overcome depression and recognized the interconnectedness between mental and physical wellness. Emmitt Muckles left us charged up and recognizing that prosperity has nothing to do with money. Terri Levine, who lives in extreme, debilitating pain, showed how you can still find power and heart and use that to create something. Leigh Martinuzzi talked about finding his hidden Why and what that can unlock. The great Dick Vitale shared a power packed message of inspiration and making the choice to get up and move forward no matter what hits you, as he's done throughout his life.

While attending college and working at UPS his manager Connie Parsons keeps assigning Mike project after project.

No explaining why no big lecture. Nothing! Just a question. Listen to today's episode to see how that deep question changes Michael’s career and life perspective. We also wanted to thank our guest speakers for this month, Price Hightower and Jenn Swanson. Price shared with us How to Pursue a Mentor and Become a Mentor, and God Does Not Waste Pain.

In today’s episode of Small-Time Leaders, Jenn Swanson talks about one of her leaders while working on the ICU unit in Canada. Martha, the head nurse, was looking to apply major changes in the hospital to improve productivity and she decided to ask every stakeholder of the staff on their opinion. Jenn found that a little strange at first but the more she thought of it, the more she loved the idea of creating a collaborative workplace. You might be surprised and find out that your staff has the next best breakthrough idea for the company, but the only way to find that out is to ask your stakeholders.

In today’s episode of Small-Time Leaders, Jenn Swanson talks about one of her earlier leaders in her life. She met Kareen Zebroff while working on the theater and she was fascinated by how a professional actress, writer, and a well-achieved woman gave her full attention to Jenn when she was talking. Jenn experienced firsthand how does it feel to get the full attention of someone and love it. Years later she practices the same method. Jenn pays attention and is present when she talks to someone, no matter who they are or their status.

Another 26 episodes of the Do a Day Podcast are done, and I thought it would be a great time to pause, reflect, and take stock of all we've taken in with Season 2 of the show.

  Known to be a "pathologically positive" person, Jenn Swanson has been educating, encouraging and empowering others to succeed for more than 25 years. With a background in healthcare and education, a Master's Degree in Public and Pastoral Leadership, and a passion for wellness in the workplace, Jenn brings energy and enthusiasm to all she does. Her weekly podcast, Careers by Jenn, is heard around the globe, and her book, "What They See: How to Stand Out and Shine in Your New Job" has been a popular read for those starting a new job. Jenn lives near Vancouver in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, and is delighted to be joining our show today. In this episode, we focus on what drove Jenn to be so positive, and, shockingly, it began with one of the least positive things a child can go through – a parent abandoning their family. Jenn shares her story and the amazing maturity, strength and clarity she showed as a young child that set her up to become the positive, caring person she is today. Key Points from the Episode with Jenn Swanson: At the age of 2, Jenn’s father left her mother, her and her as-yet-unborn brother. He did not just move out, but completely left them, with no contact for many years. That lead to a feeling of being different on top of the struggle of getting by financially. At the age of 12, Jenn’s father and mother reconnected as her mother sought help for some behavior struggles her brother was having, and that meant Jenn had to see him and this alternate life he had created. What struck her was what a waste all of the feelings she had been dealing with had been – the pain, confusion, anger – all of it.  None of it was making the situation better or different.  So she decided to write a letter of forgiveness to her father, and wrote out 12 pages explaining what the impact on her his choice had been, what it had meant for her, and then actually put in the mail and sent it to him. She wasn’t looking for a response, but more the catharsis of releasing the pain from her system so she could move forward. This is what struck me – you see this action in some people who faced what Jenn faced, but almost never until they’re adults dealing with the impact of their childhood experience. Jenn did this on her own as a pre-teen. We dug into why that might have been, and it wasn’t something Jenn had thought about before, so we talked through it. One key thing growing up was that her mother kept things very open where you could talk about your feelings or express them. She would go on long walks with her mother where they talked a lot, did art projects and other activities where expression of your thoughts and feelings was encouraged. She also had a strong sense of her faith and the idea that there is something bigger, which was a feeling that grew into her current work as a part-time minister. The lesson she took from all of this is that the act of forgiveness is not about the person being forgiven but rather about the person doing the forgiving. We can’t control what the person who is being forgiven does with it, but we can control the freedom we feel when we forgive someone and let go. The opposite of peace is fighting things, and you can’t fight reality. That fight would be wasteful, so Jenn asks what we could do with what we have rather than denying its existence. Acknowledge that things happen, life sucks – something bad is happening all the time. So how do you manage, where is your resilience and where can you take your hope from so you can move forward? She has found that the most insightful people with the greatest wisdom seem to be those who have been through the greatest hardship or struggle – if they have a gratitude mindset about where they are rather than fighting where they had been. A common idea that my guests have often shared came up again in this episode, “It doesn’t happen to us, it happens for us.” As a bit of advice, Jenn suggests people not write out all of their feelings and hit “Send”, but take a bit of time to think about it once it’s written and then decide what to do with it. She spent time helping people talk about how someone else’s behavior made them feel rather than how they did this to them. “I felt this way about what happened,” instead of, “You hurt me.” It creates space for more introspection and reflection, and helps keep the other person from digging in with defensiveness, which can stop a productive discussion before it gets a chance to get off the ground. Jenn shared a beautiful idea she’s been reminding people of a lot lately. She said, “You are your best investment.” Spending the time, money or both on yourself, being willing to do the hard work, prioritizing your need for rest and recovery all pay huge dividends. You need to invest in yourself and your self-growth.

Today, we're talking about managing the mental, physical, social, and spiritual aspects of a job transition. Whether you have chosen to leave a position or that decision has been made for you, job changes can be one of life's most stressful experiences. By taking care of your primary asset—yourself—you can ensure a more successful, less painful job transition. This week's guest is Jenn Swanson, of Careers by Jenn. Known to be a "pathologically positive" person, Jenn has been educating, encouraging, and empowering others to succeed for more than 25 years. With a background in healthcare and education, a Master's Degree in Leadership and a passion for wellness in the workplace, Jenn brings energy and enthusiasm to all that she does.   Mental Jenn focuses on three key areas of mental/cognitive self-care: Patience – Be patient with yourself and with the process. The job search can be slow-paced and full of unexpected (and unexplained) delays; exercising patience is an important component of mental self-care. Positivity – Keeping a positive mindset and not allowing the inherent rejections to be about you are key aspects here. Realize that there's a lot going on “behind the scenes” with the companies you're applying for; it has nothing to do with your ability to do the job. Persistence – Never give up! Keep plugging; each rejection is just one step closer to your “yes.” Physical You know, intellectually, to take care of your physical body during a job transition. It is easy, however, to let self-care slip because of financial constraints or a sense that you should be doing “more important” things. Your body is the vessel that performs the work you were put on this earth to do, so just as you maintain your car, you want to take excellent care of your body. -Eat real (whole) food -Get plenty of rest -Take time for daily exercise Social The job transition can be a very isolating place; here are ways to ensure your social needs are being met: Networking – Not only does networking serve an important job search purpose, it also requires you to get dressed and get out of the house. If you're networking with former colleagues, you also have the opportunity to keep your finger on the pulse of your social circle and your profession. Relationships – If you are unemployed during this period, you may have the opportunity to spend more time with the most important people in your life. Take full advantage of the space to truly nurture these relationships in ways that are mutually meaningful. Have Some Fun – If you can afford to take that trip of a lifetime, do it. If your budget is more limited, get creative on some fun activities you can engage in locally. Give yourself permission to enjoy some downtime. Spiritual It's important during this transition to give yourself time to be quiet and introspective. Here are some specific suggestions: Practice Gratitude – Be aware of, and grateful for, what you do have in your life, rather than what you've just lost. Develop a daily gratitude practice that requires you to focus on the positive aspects of your life. Meditate/Pray – Regardless of your religious beliefs, accessing your higher power is critically important during this transition. Speak to, and receive messages from, your source as you navigate your job search and make decisions about your future. To find Jenn Swanson, visit her website, podcast, and blog at careersbyjenn.com.

“Communication Diva” is the tongue-in-cheek, sassy title of podcaster and author (and church minister) Jenn Swanson. Jenn doesn’t actually believe anyone can be a diva of communication but does passionately insist that we could all do with a little practice! Through her podcast, public speaking, workshops, individual coaching, ministry, and recently published book, Jenn lives out her personal mission statement: to connect, encourage, and empower others and to help people “know they can.” Aimed at high school and college graduates (and with a gentle nudge toward personal awareness and growth), What They See: How to Stand Out and Shine in Your New Job takes readers beyond the interview and into the three-month probationary period of new employment.  TWEET: I didn’t want to deal with paperwork but wanted to do pastoral care with patients. @jennswanson2 Finding what calls to you: Do you follow what “calls to you”? Jenn shares how she spent 23 years in the hospital business, but then left to follow her dreams. After securing her instructor’s license, she went into teaching medical terminology and found it was something she enjoyed. “There was something about teaching that was calling me,” Jenn says. But she didn’t stop there; she went on to get her ministerial training part-time while working at the hospital—and added another profession to her repertoire. TWEET: Why should I slow down when I love what I’m doing? @jennswanson2 Don’t overload your plate! Do you feel compelled to say YES to everything that comes along? So many people “overload” their plates by never learning to say NO. Jenn says you must be ruthless about your self-care and not let yourself get overloaded. Something may sound fun, but you have to look after yourself first and foremost. Always remember that your family must be your top priority. TWEET: DONE is better than perfect. @jennswanson2 Omigosh—I have to do this! Do you regularly step “outside your comfort zone”? Jenn says that the more she taught, the more she realized that there was a great need to be able to communicate effectively. Using language properly reduces tension in relationships---and couldn’t we all stand to communicate more effectively? Jenn explains how she found podcasting, met some great people who helped her along the way, and got hooked! TWEET: Take what you love to do and turn it into a paying gig. @jennswanson2 Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take—“Set a goal. It’s one thing to imagine a dream, but it’s another to write it down or tell someone you’re gonna do it. It adds another level of commitment. Break it down into small steps and do ONE thing today.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:15] Jenn’s eclectic background and her initial dream to pursue acting [3:14] Why Jenn didn’t go to acting school [6:25] Pursuing another dream in serving others [9:10] Balancing jobs, school, practicum training, and family [11:05] Getting ruthless with self-care [12:20] How Jenn’s kids lived out her dream of theater school [15:00] Discovering the world of podcasting [17:40] Looking back on 6 years of podcasting [19:33] Unexpected opportunities [21:14] Upcoming plans for Jenn [23:29] Doing it on your own terms [25:30] Why slow down?
