Yesterday I was super excited to be interviewed by Deb Atella for her new podcast that is coming out soon. Deb shared that she started her podcast after I encouraged her to just do it. I had interviewed Deb on my podcast and she casually mentioned to me that she was considering starting a podcast. I love getting to celebrate moments like this when women are bold and step out of their comfort zones to do something that they dream about. I think sometimes it’s so easy for us to encourage other people and it’s so exciting to celebrate when others have the accomplishments of being brave and pursuing their dreams. I was listening to Heather Chauvin’s new podcast episode about her new book Dying to Be a Good Mother As I am celebrating her and in this episode she talked about her book and how we don’t really celebrate ourselves and I just had a giant light bulb moment. In general we do not take enough time to celebrate ourselves to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished.We minimize all that we have accomplished when we should be celebrating ourselves every single day!I am super excited to announce that I will be offering a membership program for social workers!

Do you ever take time to reflect on how far you have come? Last night I was working on a project and I remembered that years ago I was interviewed on a radio show, The Female Entrepreneur Radio Show with Kimberle Levin. This was back in 2013 and at that time I had a photography business and I had just started a maternity concierge business all while working full time as a social worker and being a full time single parent. Did you catch all that? Ridiculous right? Any one of those jobs was enough by itself. When I listen to this interview Kim asked me several times HOW I was doing all of the things. When I hear myself describe some of the things I still completely agree and I use those strategies still to this day. Setting limits for how many clients I would see; meal planning; having an incredible village. But then I hear some of the things that I said and I am screaming at myself that is completely unsustainable! And I’m right. It was!. You know what though? That year I did win an award for being the best Children’s Photographer in Bucks County. But I wasn’t living back then. I was doing all of the things, I was “busy” like the real definition of busy! Don’t get me wrong I loved each of the things that I was doing at that point but I was also a hot mess in general. I hadn’t planned to be a single parent, I hadn’t planned on still being at my day job then (for the record I’m still there now) I had a plan to drive one or both of my businesses to the point of being the way to allow me to be a stay at home mom. This is a little funny to me as a pandemic and that day job have actually allowed me to be a work from home mom. I have learned so much since then and I continue on a personal development journey every single day. I have made so many shifts and grown so much so I am much better about holding boundaries and setting limits for myself and my schedule. Some things have stayed the same though. I still have an incredible village and I absolutely could not do what I do without them. I am also lucky because my village has continued to grow and I have incredible support and encouragement from my guy and having someone by your side like that makes you feel like you can be so incredibly successful in whatever adventure that you chose. So today I challenge you to take a look back at your past self and see just how far you have come! Sometimes we need a little reminder about where we have come from and how far we have come to see that we are doing just fine! We can always learn and grow and move forward but taking a little look back in the rear view mirror is so good for us too!That’s all for today! As always thank you so much for listening!Stick around because in November I will be celebrating my 2 year podcast-iversary and I am cooking up a little something special to celebrate!Also don’t forget that you can still jump on the waiting list for my one on one coaching that is starting in November! Join the wait list for one on one coaching starting November 1!If you have a friend or even a family member that would love to hear this podcast please share this podcast with them and encourage them to join us!Connect with Jen and others on their adventures at Adventures of a New You on Facebook!For daily inspiration and support visit Jen on Instagram at Adventures Of A New You For inspiration check out Jen’s Pinterest Jen can also be reached via email at adventuresofanewyou@gmail.com

As adults we make countless decisions each day. We make decisions about what to wear, how to parent, what to eat, what to drink, where to go, where to not go, what we want to learn, how we will spend our spare time, how to show up for our partners.significant others, how we can be better humans,what we want to do in 5 years and some of this is enough just in itself. But then you throw a pandemic on top of it. Life right now with everything that is going on has us constantly evaluating the level of risk in order to just do those things. Then you have to calculate/master mind how you’re going to make those things happen because our entire lives have changed our work schedules have changed school schedules have changed our childcare options have changed so in order to make one simple appointment whether for work or to see a doctor there’s so much thought and decision making that needs to go into literally every single little thing that you want to do In order to schedule one appointment for work or home right now I have to literally stop everything else and look at my calendar like I am trying to schedule a world take over. FOR JUST ONE APPOINTMENT. It is is exhausting. It is draining and I am trying my best to protect my calendar, my sanity, and not have to rely on everyone else to cover for me!I know that it takes a village but relying on a village during a pandemic is another level. But there here are a few things that we can do to help us in scheduling our days without losing our minds. But this does take some decision making so get ready. 1. Evaluate what it is that we feel good about doing.2. The next thing that you need to evaluate is the way in which it needs to happen. 3. Then we need to evaluate the people that are going to be at any given event .Just as pre-pandemic you need to hold your time as sacred, You need to decide how you want to spend your time do you make time for yourself do you make time for just your family!Join the wait list for one on one coaching starting November 1!Connect with Jen and others on their adventures at Adventures of a New You on Facebook!For daily inspiration and support visit Jen on Instagram at Adventures Of A New You For inspiration check out Jen’s Pinterest Jen can also be reached via email at adventuresofanewyou@gmail.com

In the past few months we’ve all been forced by the universe to slow down and there have been good things that have come from this. We all live in a world where we constantly hustle and bustle and go from one thing to the next. We go from work, to picking our kids up from school, to rushing to activities to throwing dinner at the kids in the car and we never really have downtime.Having this forced downtime has allowed us all to spend more time with each other.Of course there are negative aspects of this and negative implications for everyone.But there positive things that have come out of this. For many of us working moms we had to go back to work 6 to 8 weeks after our babies were born leaving them in the care of someone else because we needed to be able to provide for them. Many of us have never had time at home with our kids. I was one of those moms.I went right back to work after my son was born. I had to go back to work to provide for him.I had planned to take six months off to be at home with him.But that plan was shattered and my heart was broken but I went back to work.Since that time I have worked. I work while my son goes to school and after care and I work during the summer so he goes to camp. So many moms like me have dreamed of being able to do things differently.We have plotted and schemed and tried to figure out how to be at home with our kids. Well now we have that. We get to be at home and work at home and be with our kids. Granted this time at home has not exactly been what we had always been looking for. We have been trying to juggle work, kids, home, school and even take on challenges that we’ve never been faced before and we are doing it all at once. But there has also been this quality time that we have gotten to have with our families that we would not have typically had. I’ve had time to sit and eat meals with my son. I’ve had times to play games with my son. I’ve had times to do things like build a swingset and start a garden. I've gotten to do things that have always been on my to do list but have never been accomplished because we’re always moving and shaking.We live in a society that doesn’t value rest and doesn’t necessarily value being present but we’ve all had a reminder over this time to slow down do things more simply and just be.So as things are shifting once again and many things are reopening it’s important for us to have learned from this period of time and to value the slow down.As you’re scheduling your time going forward make sure that you are scheduling time for rest .Schedule time to literally slow down.If you have a friend or even a family member that would love to hear this podcast please share this podcast with them and encourage them to join us!Join my mailing list to get My Best Tips For Women Working In Helping ProfessionsSchedule a FREE Coaching call with Jen Connect with Jen and others on their adventures at Adventures of a New You on Facebook!For daily inspiration and support visit Jen on Instagram at Adventures Of A New You For inspiration check out Jen’s Pinterest Jen can also be reached via email at adventuresofanewyou@gmail.com

Episode 52: Real Life vs the Highlight ReelDon’t get caught up in other people’s highlight reels. When people post about their wonderful vacations we don’t share that the cat ran away as we were trying to leave, we don’t share that we packed two bottles of conditioner and no shampoo. They don’t show that they lost their minds trying to get the kids to help get everything packed. They don’t show you that someone got sick and tossed their cookies all over a walmart parking lot. Mom’s get frustrated and then we hide and cry in the shower when we get overwhelmed or stressed. We try to show up as brave and strong and we don’t want anyone to see that we are struggling. But we need to normalize the struggles in life. We need to make it acceptable to share that we need help. We need our kids to know that we have our own struggles and that we may get upset but that we will problem solveLife is messy, really messy and we all need to remember that it is messy for everyone not just for us. Sometimes we look at what other people appear to have and we get jealous. But we need to remember to keep ourselves in check because we actually have no idea what is going on with those individuals and honestly it’s none of our business! Sometimes Father’s day is a trigger for people. You see all of the family’s together and sometimes think that families are supposed to be a mom, a dad, 2.5 kids and a dog. But that’s not what families are. Families are the people that surround each other, show up for each other and take care of each other. That looks different in every situation. Sometimes our natural families are unhealthy, sometimes our blended families are unhealthy. Sometimes you are blessed with a bonus family. You may not get to decide who you are biologically related to but you do get to decide who gets to be a part of your life. You get to decide who you allow to take up your time. You are allowed to put boundaries in to protect yourself. You should put boundaries in to make yourself feel safe. You should stop feeling guilty because you don’t agree with other people. You should stop people from wasting your time. Your time is so incredibly valuable and it is time for us to stop giving our time to people who don’t deserve it. Time is a commodity just like money. We need to show up in our real lives every single day and know that it’s not perfect, some days it’s not even pretty. But we need to make the most of each day and do the best that we can. We need to stop worrying about what everyone is doing or what everyone else has! Put your blinders on, put your phone down and go out and live your life.

I shared a post on instagram about taking a break. The other day by 2pm I was done. I was done with work. I was done with parenting. I was done with myself. So we got in the car. We had nowhere that we had to go and frankly few places that you can even go. But I needed that break. I needed that sense of normalcy. I am a doer. I am a mover and a shaker. I’m not someone who stays home… like literally ever. So at some points this being home is frustrating. Notice I didn’t say hard. It’s not hard to stay home. It’s frustrating. Lots of things are frustrating right now. Some things are challenging. Working during this time is a big challenge. There is a constant pull from home, there is a constant pull at work and everyone needs us at the same time and if you are like me you feel like you can’t show up as the best version of yourself in any one of these places because we are being asked to show up in all of these places at one time. There are so many things going on that it is completely over stimulating. Self regulating takes time, it takes practice, it takes being insightful and mindful. Sometimes it takes dealing with shit that we don’t want to deal with. But if you are a bottler then you know that you can only fit so much into the bottle until one day it explodes all over everything and if this has ever happened to you then you know that it’s not pretty and it will likely happen at a very inopportune time. So take a minute right here and just listen. Let your brain just go…. Scribble down your thoughts, or email them to yourself, you can even use the voice memos on your phone. Take a minute and let all of that out and then you can see what it is that you really need. If you want to bounce this off on someone, reach out to me! I am happy to jump in and do this with you!I’m telling you letting your brain go on this rant will give you a clear picture of what your body needs from you today. So dump away and then lean in to what your body is asking for.

Episode 49: Crash Course In Being A One Parent Household Hello and Welcome to the podcast; Adventures of a New YouBeing faced with a pandemic has caused many families to go from being a two parent household to a one parent household. Many people who are essential personnel are deciding to isolate themselves in order to keep their families safe. This is creating a shift in parenting for many families and the parent who remains in the home is finding themselves in a position to juggle many things that they may normally have a partner for. Being a one parent household presents a variety of challenges. Here are some of my best tips for managing as a one parent household.

If your job is in a helping profession then your job is to show up for others every single day and you do. No matter what you are going through personally or professionally. You get dressed, you show up and you give the individuals that you work with your all. But what about you? We have all attended the compassion fatigue training but are any of them very helpful? No you know they are not. I can preach about self care and I can see your eyes start rolling. Who has time right? But here is the thing if you don’t make some and pace yourself you will never make it for the long haul. So if you only plan on doing this “for a few years” or maybe “until you have your baby” then go ahead and tune out. But if this is your career plan you may want to lean in and hold on. We have all had our days that we literally feel like we might break. When there are so many emergencies at work, or when you have something going on at home but still need to show up at the office; when your heart is breaking because there was a tragedy. But how do you get through it? Rephrase. How do you work through it? I don’t mean just showing up at work and working I mean leaning in and dealing with the things that are going on. That is the tricky part because there is no exact formula on how to get through it. But it is a compilation of self care; support; comradery; and self soothing. But here are a few ways to set work life boundaries so that you can continue to show up as the best version of yourself every day and curb compassion fatigue. Take control of what you can.2. Be intentional 3. Plan breaks 4. Build Your Tribe 5. Try to separate work and home.

Hello and Welcome to the podcast; Adventures of a New YouWhy do we seek other people’s permission to take care of ourselvesWhy do we need to feel the need to be validated by others that we are doing what is best for us. If you are like me and so many other women you will show up and work no matter how terrible you feel. Whether you are sick or emotionally drained whatever you are going through you will just keep on trucking. Why do we need someone else to validate that we are sick enough to rest? One of the reasons is that we have been programmed to think that resting implies weakness. But does it? No! Resting allows our bodies to heal and grow. Some would say that resting is self care and it is but the other half of your brain is telling you that resting means you are lazy. My brain fights these stories every time that I am sick. But we need to dig into our stories and reframe them! We need to remind ourselves that it is ok to take care of ourselves. It’s time that we start making ourselves a priority and that we take care of ourselves! We need to tune into our bodies and be self aware and allow ourselves to rest!This isn’t just about work and being sick it’s about building in time for rest and rejuvenation in our schedules. It’s about planning ahead and scheduling our lives so that we don’t get to our breaking points before we take that time for ourselves. We need to give ourselves permission to schedule time to take care of yourself We also need to give ourselves permission to set goals and achieve those goals! It’s the new year so we are all walking around with our brand new list of goals but will we actually be brave enough to work towards those goals.

Hello and Welcome to the podcast; Adventures of a New YouI am your host, Jen Parke a social worker and fellow adventurer!This is Episode 43 of the podcast and today we are going to chat about: Surrounding yourself with encouraging peopleThey say that you are the average of the 5 people that you surround yourself with, google says that Jim Rohn started this concept. So as you go through your day today take a minute and look at the people that you are surrounding yourself with. Do these people exhibit the qualities that you want to have? If they do great! If they don’t know that it is ok to outgrow relationships. I’m not saying that you have to go and break up with the people around you. But it is ok to put a little space in that relationship and seek out new relationships. Sometimes one of the people that you seek out is a mentor. You can do this in person or even without that person even ever knowing that you are following them. That sounds a little creepy but I don’t mean it in a stalker kind of way. I mean in a way that you are learning from them. With social media it is very easy to surround yourself with positive people even when your actual daily life may feel like you are surrounded by negative nancys and debbie downers. I want to share with you some of the incredible women that I follow and try to learn fromBrene BrownHeather ChauvinErin MillerNikki GingrichJen RozenbaumMichelle ObamaRachel HollisKindra HallReece WitherspoonThese are just some of the ladies that I look to for inspiration. I tend to follow working women who are working on their own goals. I also say this you don’t just have to sit back and watch these women, read what they write, listen to their stories but I strongly encourage you to engage with them! I also encourage you to engage with the people that are in your daily life and tell them that you appreciate them! After all it is the day before thanksgiving so we are all trying to be mindful of our gratitude. So go ahead and reach out and tell someone how much you appreciate them today!That’s all for today!

There are some simple ways to make sure that you are scheduling your life to feel fulfilled and accomplished! Step 1 - get our your calendar (paper/phone whatever you use)Step 2 - Make a list of everything that needs to go on your calendar (everything, chores, homework, work, sports, parties, journaling, meditation, sleep, fun - EVERYTHING)Step 3 - Is there anything on that list that you can delegate? Cleaning? Mowing the lawn? Grocery shopping? Picking up the kids? Chores? - I am not telling you that you have to spend a bunch of money here either but I am suggesting that you find ways to have helpStep 4 - Is there anything that you can kindly decline? You all know for me that is generally a kids birthday party. A shower etc (sorry friends but if you know me you know that I care but spending hours at a party like this…. Is just not my thing)Step 5 - Decide how you want to feel - do you want to feel rushed? Tired? Overwhelmed? Relaxed? Fulfilled? Step 6 - Decide which activities will allow you to feel the way that you want to feel? Step 7 - Plan your days accordingly - literally sit down and write out exactly what you will do and when you will do it….. Remember this is not a giant to do list…. This is a way to plan your life so that you can feel the way that you want to feelStep 8 - assess and adjust - as you try this new planning system you will need to be mindful of how it is going and flexible so that you can make changes for the next weekI highly suggest incorporating the family in your decision to do this…. You can even have family meetings to review the schedule…. So literally go get your calendar and start scheduling in a positive way… schedule with intent…. Schedule so that you feel accomplished and happy - not so that your to do list just drains you to the point of a tailspin storm.
