What is the big deal about journaling?!

Do you count yourself as one of our fellow journaling junkies, a newbie just dipping your toes into the journaling pool, or a conscientious objector to the whole journaling thing?

Even experienced journalers may not realize all of the scientifically proven benefits of journaling, so today, we’re sharing a few of the top positives of journaling, how to overcome your objections to journaling, and our best advice for novice and pro journalers alike.

Grab a pen and paper, your favorite app, or a fresh Google doc, and let’s go!

You know that feeling.

The one where nothing is working, no matter what you try — or how hard.

Nothing helps.

Nothing shifts.

Nothing makes it any easier, makes you feel any better.

You feel hopeless.

Helpless

Anxious

Scared

And you don’t know what the hell to do about it.

Before you scream or tear your hair out (Well, scream if you need to.), let’s take half an hour to ride the waves together.

What To Do When Nothing’s Working Redux

Leadership doesn’t have to be loud. 

Contrary to what we’re often taught in Western culture, there’s no single “right” way to be a leader, and today’s guest certainly embodies that ethos.

We are so excited to welcome Adria Sophia back to the show to talk about the power of quiet leadership and what becomes possible when quiet leaders unmask and claim their spots in the collective.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold of what a leader is “supposed” to be…

If you don’t want to yell over the noise to have your voice heard…

If you’re ready to call yourself forward to step into your own unique expression of leadership…

…then this is the episode for you.

Welcome, quiet leader.

Quiet Leadership with Adria Sophia

In this time of change — back to school, a new season, etc. — are you finding yourself going with the flow or holding onto the status quo for dear life?

On today’s episode, Ashley and I (Jenna ) are talking about the process of letting go: what it is, how to tell whether we’re ready for it, why it can feel so damn hard, and how to make it a bit easier.

If you’ve found yourself sitting in the fear of what’s on the other side of letting go, this episode is meant for you.

Knowing When It’s Time To Let Go

While every season has its unique pleasures, for many of us, summer is the time of year we just can’t get enough of.

The sun

The longer days

The slower pace

There’s so much to love about summertime, and too often, it flies by so quickly that we’re not able to fully enjoy and appreciate it.

So, consider this your official invitation to savor every moment of summer on the horizon.

You’ve got 53 days left in this amazing season.

How will you spend them?

Savoring Summer

Who doesn’t want to have fun and feel free?

No one, right?

But what it means to have fun and feel free is not fixed. 

It varies from person to person and changes over time.

How each of us defines these key aspects of our lives shifts as we grow.

So, how do we realize when our definitions of fun and freedom have evolved, and what do we want fun and freedom to look like right now?
