Jen and Anna finally have an evening to talk about finding their “why” , discussing the importance of having Mentors to help guide you in the right direction and having a purpose on your journey…all while enjoying some of their favorite food and wine!

Making hard decisions and putting yourself first in all types of situations, mainly work is no easy task. Jen and Anna share stories of leaving jobs and not worrying about disappointment or feeling like a failure. Jen talks about a career she really had a passion for and dealing with an inappropriate boss while Anna shares a story of her friend who just moved for an opportunity of a lifetime, but wasn’t quite was it seemed to be.

Jen and Anna touch on a sensitive subject about technology and safety. What’s safe, what would they allow their kids to use and how they keep up with staying in tuned to what is going on in their lives. They also talk about how much technology is involved in their own lives as well.

Jen picks up where she left off with her personal story. Oregon is her new home, she meets her husband, starts a family and really finds out where her place is in this world that she knows. A love story, stricken by sickness and then sadness, so listeners can understand more of exactly why she is a strong as she is. Opening up and letting people in is hard for some, but she warmly shares the tribulations that she’s endured for a reason. To connect with her listeners on every level.

We dive a little deeper this week into getting to know Jennifer. She shares her childhood, a crazy teenage youth and how she survived addiction and abuse at far too young of an age. All of these have molded her into the woman she is today.
