Send us a textWhat if the secret to leadership success isn't finding perfect balance, but mastering the art of the pendulum swing? Jennifer Brown, former US Foreign Service Officer turned leadership coach, reveals why traditional work-life balance is a myth that keeps high-achieving leaders trapped in cycles of burnout and depletion.Drawing from her powerful personal story of physical breakdown after years of putting achievement before well-being, Jennifer shares the exact moment she realized her leadership approach wasn't sustainable. "I had wonderful boss who said to me: 'you have to put your own oxygen mask on first,'" she recalls. "It was like this gut punch—I'm not putting my oxygen mask on first, and how can I pour into my family, my son, my team at work when I'm so depleted?"This candid conversation explores the revolutionary concept of being the "CEO of your life" by intentionally directing your energy pendulum between priorities rather than attempting impossible balance. You'll discover practical techniques to interrupt negative thought patterns in seconds (without leaving your desk), how to identify your purpose through three revealing questions, and why defining yourself through achievement creates an unsustainable identity that eventually collapses.Jennifer's faith-centered approach offers a refreshing perspective on leadership development, emphasizing grace for yourself and others while building mental fitness practices that fit into your existing routines. For leaders feeling lost, overwhelmed, or wondering "is this all there is?", this episode provides both comfort and actionable strategies to reclaim your energy and purpose.The ripple effect of your leadership transformation affects everyone around you—are you ready to put your oxygen mask on first and discover what's possible when you lead from a place of wholeness rather than depletion?Connect with Jen:Journey of Grace CoachingFinding Our Fire Facebook CommunityInstagramIt's time to rediscover YOU.

Host: TJ Goade & Jennifer Brown, Global Director TOPICS: Tracking Your Journey: The Key to Lasting Weight Success

When it comes to immigration, former president Trump has drawn national attention to Aurora with his exaggerated claims that a Venezuelan gang has “taken over.” Locally, Mayor Johnston has focused on welcoming newcomers to Denver, redirecting public money into emergency support and opportunities for these people to build new lives. But lost somewhere in the middle is a skyrocketing backlog of asylum seekers, waiting around in a Mile High limbo to see a judge who will decide their fate. Colorado Sun reporter Jennifer Brown spent weeks inside the immigration court and at the ICE detention facility in Aurora to understand why the wait times are getting longer, meet some of our new neighbors, and figure out who has the power to help.  We strongly recommend Jennifer Brown and Ernesto Cabral's three-part series on the skyrocketing backlog of asylum cases in Denver's immigration courts (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) in the Colorado Sun.

Carla Casper Brown - the disappearance of Jennifer BrownJul 23, 2023In May 2005 Jennifer Casper Brown disappeared. 18 years later and information is sparse on this vulnerable missing person. Carla, her Mother, joined Ed Opperman to talk about her daughter, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and expressing the hope - no matter how little - that someone, somewhere knows something about her daughters' location or is in possession of information which could bring Jennifer home to her family, being closure to this situation.There are Facebook groups and other web pages listed at the bottom of this post. If you know anything or can help in any way, please feel free to reach out.From the Charley ProjectJennifer was last seen at approximately 5:30 a.m. on May 5, 2005. She had been at the Peppermill Hotel and Casino with a friend earlier that morning. Afterwards she went to the Reno Sparks Cab Company, her mother's place of work, in the vicinity of the 400 block of Gentry Way in Reno, Nevada. She stopped by there to visit her mother, but her mother was not there at the time.Jennifer was very intoxicated and didn't have enough money to pay her cab fare. She ran from the taxi, breaking her high-heeled shoes in the process, climbed over a fence at the back of the establishment and disappeared. The business is only half a block from Jennifer's home. A few minutes before she vanished, Jennifer called her father in Las Vegas, Nevada and said she needed to go to that city, but she apparently never arrived there. She has never been heard from again.According to Jennifer's husband, Sean Ross, he came home the night before her disappearance and found her drunk, with cuts on her wrists, and saying she needed to leave. She had her clothes and family photos packed in a bag. Sean stated he initially tried to change her mind, but he let her go after Jennifer insisted. Sean stated Jennifer left behind two handwritten notes, stained with her own blood. The notes directed who should be permitted to have contact with her young son if anything should happen to her, and stated her possessions should go to Sean.Jennifer was unemployed at the time of her disappearance; she had been working as an exotic dancer, but had been fired from this job a week before her disappearance. She had previously been a professional ballerina. That career ended due to a tailbone injury, but she still gave dance lessons. She was deep in debt and her credit cards were maxed out.Sean reported Jennifer's disappearance to the police on May 10, five days after he last saw her. When he initially told Jennifer's mother she was missing, he stated he thought she might be dead and in the river.Jennifer's mother doesn't think she wrote her daughter wrote the goodbye notes herself; she stated that her daughter and Sean had often practiced writing in the other's hand. According to Jennifer's mother, Sean lied numerous times to the media about Jennifer's case and also to the police. He gave numerous different stories about Jennifer, saying she suffered from postpartum depression, had gone missing before and had been fired numerous jobs, and that she had had affairs during the marriage. None of those things were true.In his initial statement to the police, Sean didn't mention the bag of belongings his wife supposedly had, the letters, or the cuts on her wrists, but those details were later added to his story. He told police Jennifer didn't have a dentist, which was untrue; she had only recently gotten her orthodontic braces removed and Sean was aware she had regular dental care. Sean also sold Jennifer's van before the police got to look at it.According to Jennifer's mother, Sean missed five days of work in a row after Jennifer disappeared and left their son in the care of a babysitter during that time. He filed for divorce just three months after her disappearance and...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
