Cuppa Jen

Sisters Shelby and Joelle Wyminga are on this weeks episode to chat about starting their own production company called Far From the Tree Productions. We talk about what makes us feel like failures, how important self care is, owning our choices, and what it’s like to grow up as a pastors kid in Northern BC.

Caribou Magi opens December 5th at the Havana Theatre, and if you’re in the Vancouver area we hope you make it out! For more information on Far From the Tree Productions, visit: farfromthetreeproductions.com and make sure to go follow them on Instagram as well.

Hi friends and welcome to episode 8 of #cuppajen :) My friend Jordan Rendle joins us this week on the podcast and we talk about how we met, our shared journeys in acting & rejection, and finally how to reframe our "downtime" as "preparation seasons." We both agree that if you are going to make art your full time career then you need to think of it in the longterm. It's okay to take time for ourselves or give ourselves a little grace when we don't hit every goal in the first six months. Please reach out and share how you have sustained yourselves while you've waited for the next steps in your career to happen. How do you grow and still stay motivated? We hope that we can encourage you in whatever season you are in, and remember we are all in this together and no one is successful 100% of the time!

This week on #cuppajen I have the pleasure of getting to speak with coach and writer Cathy Christen! We talk about being dreamers and what it takes to turn those dreams into reality. From maintaining healthy habits and routines, to overcoming adversity, to the impact our environments (internal & external) have on us — these factors can change how disciplined we are in our craft! Listen in if you’d like to be inspired and walk away with some practical tools to get our dreamer butts in gear!

My favorite takeaway was when Cathy said: “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional!” Remember you don’t have to stay anywhere — you have the option to keep moving and growing! Emotional Intelligence is also about keeping the mind strong. What are some tools you guys use to keep yourself moving towards your dreams when things get tough?

Thanks again for coming by Cathy!

This week on #cuppajen we are joined by the wonderful Tunji Taylor-Lewis, my fellow actor/entertainer and friend. We talk social media, experiences with rejection, and how the art of "saying yes" in improv can translate to saying yes for our business strategy. We also touch on sifting through which voices we will allow to influence our art... from the person in our audiences, to our closest friends, to God. Who do you let speak into your art? Who do you let speak into your life? Can't wait to hear what you all think, and I hope you all enjoy this week's guest as much as I always do!

Hi friends! Glad you're here! This #cuppajen is actually a follow up podcast to episode 2: part 1 where I talked about discouragement. In part 2, I talk about my journey with coming to terms with my emotions, reaching out to mentors & friends, and having a good look at my fears! I hope that through listening you might feel encouraged, and that we can grow together in our belief in ourselves! Remember that whatever happens, we have each other! #dontquityourdaydream 

Hi friends! Hope you've felt encouraged by the podcast so far! This week on #cuppajen we are chatting with guests Jaclyn and Ciaran Delaney, siblings that I first met online and then again whilst traveling in Ireland! We talk through names, Irish vs. Canadian accents, and our experiences with friendship. They are a riot, and I just simply love talking to them, so please enjoy this extra long episode!
