On this episode of Not Done Yet, I sat down with Jeneka Jool for an easy‑going but really insightful conversation. Most of my questions came straight from her own podcast, Uninhibited, and we dove into everything from self‑discovery to grief to what it actually means to live your life fully.

We talked about the lessons her mom left her with, how she holds onto belief when life gets heavy, and what it looks like to shed old identities and step into new ones. At its core, this conversation is about being present, keeping the promises you make to yourself, and finding joy in the everyday moments.

Takeaways:
Music can be a powerful tool during tough times.
Journaling helps in processing emotions and experiences.
Grief can reshape our identity and perspective on life.
It's important to keep moving forward, even when feeling unready.
Self-love is essential for personal growth and relationships.
Community support is vital during times of loss.
We should celebrate the lives of those we've lost, not just mourn them.
Living authentically means letting go of past versions of ourselves.
Finding joy in small moments can lead to a fulfilling life.
We are all capable of achieving our dreams, regardless of societal pressures.
