        Do you want to quit your job but feel stressed out just thinking about all the things you need to consider in order to make the leap?

            • 4: The Life-Altering Power of Vulnerability to Live Your Best Life

              If you want to live your best life--full of alignment, purpose, and joy--then there is one skill you really need to cultivate: vulnerability.

              Historically, I struggled immensely with being vulnerable. I was hyper-independent and thought that I didn't need to rely on anyone else in my life, even my many well-meaning and supportive friends and family members. But the more I explore creating a life that lights me up, the more I realize just how wrong I was. Vulnerability is the key to unlocking so many of the best things in life. 

              This episode is a deep dive into cultivating vulnerability in your life--even if the idea of vulnerability is something that really scares you.

              Listen as I get into...

              • The circumstances and mindsets that held me back from inviting vulnerability into my life
              • A breakthrough moment when I realized that I needed to change my ways
              • The tips and tricks I have learned along the way for strengthening your vulnerability muscle
              • The magic that has unfolded for me as I've learned to be more vulnerable in my life

                • 3: Astrology for Beginners - Understanding Your "Big Three" Placements

                  You probably already know your sun sign (determined by your date of birth), but have you ever heard of the "Big Three" in astrology? 

                  Your unique astrological natal chart has layers upon layers of information stored within it (signs, houses, aspects, oh my!) but astrologers generally look to the big three placements of the sun, moon, and rising signs in a chart to create a more complete snapshot of an individual's personality than what the sun sign alone implies.

                  Whether you're new to astrology or pretty well-versed, this episode holds value for anyone looking to better understand themselves through their big three astrological placements.

                  Listen as I get into...

                  • How to find your unique astrological natal chart
                  • The difference between the "Big Three" placements: your sun, moon, and rising (aka ascendant) signs
                  • A breakdown of the themes of each of the 12 zodiac signs
                  • How each zodiac sign differs in expression depending on their placement in your chart (e.g., an Aries sun vs an Aries moon)

                    • 2: Synchronicities - Following Signs From the Universe to Create a Life that Lights You Up

                      Did you know the universe is always sending you signs to help nudge you down the right path? It's true; signs can often be seen in the synchronicities of our lives: the strange but powerful coincidences that we can't explain. And yet so many of us don't know how to spot these signals or what to do once we receive them, so we miss out on opportunities that are meant for us.  

                      This episode dives into all the juicy details about what synchronicities are, how to spot them in your life, and how to use them to create a life that lights you up.

                        • 1: Why I Quit My Dream Job (Welcome to the Pod!)

                          I spent nearly 8 years building a successful career in my dream job in the video game industry only to find myself feeling burnt out, uninspired, and frankly depressed with my life. So I quit.

                          The journey to starting this podcast began with my decision to stop saying 'yes' to the things that were no longer lighting me up, so it's only fitting that the first episode dives into the messy but essential process of breaking up with my old life in order to make room for the new life I want to create.

                              Introducing Lit Up AF, the podcast that helps you create a life that lights you up. 

                              I'm Jennierose, your average 30-something millennial who spent years following the conventional roadmap to success until one day, I looked around and realized I was burnt out, uninspired, and living a life that was out of alignment with my dreams and desires. So I threw away the old roadmap, and now I’m in relentless pursuit of a life that lights me the fuck up.

                              Starting January 31, 2023, join me on the podcast each week for a dose of inspiration, practical advice, and honest conversations with others on a similar journey.
