Hey friends! We took a few weeks off to rest and reset, which was actually much harder than I expected it to be. Does anyone else sometimes struggle with rest?? I have had to put the recording of "self care is not selfish" on repeat in my head. But we are back and better than ever!
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I am wanting to hear your story. I want to hear how YOU have given yourself the room you need to be who you are. Maybe you're still stuck in the hallway just staring at the room you want to enter. I get it. I've been there. Sometimes I'm still there. We will get there together. Let me help share your story, and show you just how much of a warrior you are.
I'm rooting for you.

The last 6 or so years have also been spent performing and working at Universal Studios Orlando. Jenny has always been a professional performer, until Covid 19 changed everything.

Tricia Lott Williford is quite possibly one of my favorite humans to grace the Earth. Her story will captivate you, and steal your heart.
Tricia is a teacher by trade, and writer by love. After losing her first husband very quickly to flu like symptoms, she found her therapy and comfort in writing through her pain. That blog led her to become an author with several fantastic books. She is actually my very own writing coach, who had a hand in my first book, and is walking me through my second book. She is the big sister I never knew I needed.
Find a space to listen to this episode where you can be inspired by her story, and her intoxicating spirit. I promise, you won't regret it!

November is the month of gratitude. Where we give thanks for the good... and sometimes the bad of what has come into our lives. This episode is focused on helping you see even the small things to be grateful for in this crazy time we are in. Join me as we walk through the highs and lows of gratitude!
Sometimes what brought us immense joy in the past, doesn't bring us joy now. It's okay to walk away from things that no longer bless your heart or make you smile. You are worth smiling, my sweet friend.
It's Halloween, and that means scary stuff! What scares you? Is it zombies, ghosts or chainsaws? Or is it failing, disappointment, and doubt?
Your fears matter. They can also be deceiving. Let's walk through your fears, and call them out. Let's get you to the other side of fear.
