Whether you feel bad because of poor sleep, chronic pain, illness, pregnancy, or your life is just generally hard right now, Jen wants you to know that this could be the time you create the best work of your life. She draws from her experience writing a bestselling book in the midst of having six babies in eight years.

Jen shares the secret for living fearlessly, as well as her best tip for overcoming imposter syndrome. This episode was recorded with Jen wearing a heavy, black, velvet dress, even though it’s Spring, because Jen cannot wait until winter returns to don this outfit.

Jen talks about being adventurous, and how taking a risk with your ego is much scarier than climbing a mountain. She also talks about a mistake she made with a recent sketch.

Jen’s makeup routine saved her sanity during the Texas winter storm, when her family was running out of food and most people had major electricity and water shortages. She also talks about having fun when the world is going crazy, and her new life as a TikTok star.

Jen celebrates one of her sketches passing 1 million views. She also says the next few weeks will probably be hard for all of us, and has some suggestions for how to deal with it. And of course she hits on the viral Gorilla Glue hair video.

Jen is threatening to fight people who are mean to Hallie again. She also talks about ways she’s confused her religion with her own crazy, self-sabotaging tendencies. But the best part is when she tries out the hot new Clubhouse app. DO NOT MISS THIS PART.
