SHOW NOTES:
- Experiences > Things: Instead of purchasing a bagger for the lawn mower, Jenna family decided on a trip to Wisconsin Dells, which changed the trajectory of her life.
- Post-college while working at Target, Jenna was compelled to take control of her life and became a first-generation entrepreneur.
- After hitting her goal of earning six figures, Jenna felt unfulfilled and realigned to more meaningful, purposeful goals.
- “Time is currency. Time is a non-renewable resource we have to covet and spend so carefully.”
- In learning to love herself, Jenna has become a “thought shepherd”, meaning being gentle, yet aware of her thoughts and the narratives in her brain.
- “Every dream will cost you something. But remember, you aren’t the risk. You are the investment.”
- Are you feeling unworthy? Jenna encourages you to ask someone you love, “what do you see in me” to be reminded of your worthiness.
