I listened to the episode about community with Becky M. and loved it so I started binging them all! So many great topics and I love that were not just hearing the “same old thing.” Thank you sharing such important perspectives!
Jennifer covers all the stuff about life you sense might be true but feels a little too risky or “irresponsible” to act on - aka all the stuff that makes life interesting!
Jen is such a fun host. She digs in deep on every topic with her guests and still is able to bring humor and lightheartedness in the process. She is thoughtful about how she structures and episode and as a guest I was blown away by the social media assets she made for me.
Life throws so much at us humans, and I’m so glad we have this podcast to help navigate it. From one multi passionate person to another, thank you!
Jennifer is an excellent host who asks great questions and gives her guests space to share so much. I learn a lot!
