Here are the questions that Lindsay asks Jenny! -DAILY LIFE How did you come to have the “be happy” mantra? How do you stay positive when the weight of cooking and cleaning and kids seems like so much? -OFF DAYS Is there anything you do when you are off and not super positive or happy to get in a better state of mind? Im very aware of other peoples energy - Do you ever have days when you sort of stay to yourself and regroup? -LIFE HARDSHIPS Just a reminder that we all have life struggles and sadness… even if all of that is not shared publicly. Do you have any tips for staying positive and happy, even when dealing with sad life moments that you’ve learned through the years? -NEGATIVE PEOPLE Question from IG: How do you deal when your kindness is not reciprocated? You are SO NICE- but you’re not that sort of nice to where you get pushed around.  You’re strong and direct- but in the absolutely NICEST way possible.  How do you balance this? Any tips for dealing with conflict and coming out in a good headspace? And how do you not let it phase you? -HAVING FULLLLLL, HAPPY DAYS How do you have happy and full days with the kids but also get your emails done and the house picked up and everyone fed? You get it ALL DONE, and have great LIFE experiences everyday … and you are present and not stressed during it.  Sometimes when I’m doing things I love with my kids… I’m not really actually IN IT because I have stuff to do at the same time… how do you get it done and have so many experiences too- and are fully present and happy during them?? CHEERS!!! TO BEING HAPPY!!!
