Do you ever feel like you're busy all day, but the daily work of motherhood and life has drained you of any sense of purpose?

Hey Mama, I want to tell you something. You're still relevant.

I'm Janie -- joy coach, mom of 4 and recovering perfectionist -- and I know what it's like to lose touch with what makes you happy. About a decade ago, I left a respected TV news career to do a job that left my inner spark covered in mommy goo. Now, I help moms around the world reclaim their sense of purpose and inner joy.

Because even though my child-rearing years are represented by a void on my resume, they actually represent the richest, deepest and most successful, yet challenging chapter thus far.

The other night, I was making chili and realized I didn't have cumin. I mean, is it even chili if it doesn't have cumin in it? But I just kept going, and "just making the chili" has become a cornerstone value of She Just Glows. You may not have all the ingredients, but it's time to just get started.

I'm Janie Porter, a joy coach, wife and mom of 4, and I've spent most of my life chasing perfection and coming up short every time. I worked in TV news for a decade, and when I became a mom, I wanted achievement and being the best at everything to continue to define me. It didn't work out that way, but what I've discovered is a much better way. And I share it with my private life coaching clients every single day.

• A self-guided exercise to stomp out perfectionism + lean into imperfect progress
• Why missing ingredients is an opportunity, not a failure
• How + why to "start ugly"
• 4 steps for moving boldly forward (even when you don't have all the ingredients)

I was 9 months pregnant with my third kid, and my 2 toddlers were splashing around in the pool. On a whim, I handed my husband my iPhone, shot him a grin and asked him to take a picture. "It might be the last one," I said. He snapped the photo, and I texted it to my mom and sisters with this caption: "This is what 200 pounds of awesomeness looks like, people."

I'm Janie Porter -- now a mom of 4 -- and through the years, I've been on a journey to not only appreciate my body but to see it for all it is, not all it isn't. In this episode of She Just Glows: The Podcast, I'm sharing a viral post that became my battle cry as I walked into a season of baby weight and feeling thick and heavy. You might just hear all that your body has done through these words; instead of cataloguing all it's not.
