How to be courageous with Jennifer Dukes Lee


Listen Later

If your career looks different than you ever imagined it could, you’re going to want to lean into today’s conversation!

Today’s episode kicks off Smart Girl Summer, an eight-week series featuring some behind-the-scenes stories from some of the smartest women I know. I am thrilled to have my friend, Jennifer Dukes Lee, here to start this series with a bang! 

Jennifer is the author of multiple books, including her most recent, Stuff I’d Only Tell God: A Guided Journal of Courageous Honesty, Obsessive Truth-Telling, and Beautifully Ruthless Self-Discovery. 

So how did Jennifer go from the hustle and bustle of reporting for metropolitan daily newspapers to being a fifth-generation farm wife? How did she get from life on the farm to writing books and helping other authors as an acquisitions editor? I can’t wait for you to hear it from her! 

Join Jennifer and I as we talk about: 

  • How someone’s belief in you can change the trajectory of your life

  • Where opportunity comes from, and why friends are so important 

  • Why the work we do in obscurity really does matter

  • How to stay motivated when it would be easier to quit 

  • And if you loved this, go check out her previous visit to the show: Un-Hurry Your Heart with Jennifer Dukes Lee.

    Jennifer Dukes Lee is an acquisitions editor and author of multiple books. Her most recent book is a brilliantly written guided journal, Stuff I’d Only Tell God: A Guided Journal of Courageous Honesty, Obsessive Truth-Telling, and Beautifully Ruthless Self-Discovery. Jennifer and her husband, Scott, have two daughters and are the fifth generation to live on the Lee family farm in Iowa.
