Susan, your host, welcomes Jen Thomas, Intuitive Business Coach, and Healer, to today's episode.

Jen is a leader and advocate of working with emotions in business. She was invited to give her TEDx talk, "Putting Emotion Back in Business," inspiring others to lead with love, kindness, and compassion. Jen is an intuitive coach and spiritual mentor who helps business owners to access their inner wisdom by working with their emotions to clear blocks and create crystal-clear strategies for success.

After receiving guidance in 2019 to take her business online, Jen took the leap of faith required and tripled her business in 2020.

Key Takeaways:

• Jen shares her grief story.
• Jen experienced a whole level of grief she did not know existed.
• Grieving her father gave Jen a different perspective on herself as a person, how she valued her self-worth, and who she truly was (and even her place in the world).
• No one prepares us for grief.
• When we are ready, going through grief can be an enlightening experience.
• Susan shares the darkest part of her grief and the beginning of her healing once she imposed on herself the task of writing a gratitude journal (that only made her angrier when she started).
• Jen confesses she wasn't expecting to grieve all over again years later.
• Jen talks about the healing power of nature and how it helps us to be more present.
• Jen's core value in her business and world is love.
• Susan and Jen discuss the recurrent question: "What is the purpose?"

• Connect with nature, stay outside, and slow down; nature will find you.
