This from a new friend - a teacher on hiatus, home raising her 18-month-old daughter.

She’d asked about my business, fascinated by the whole thing: my programs, marketing, pricing -

So...

Thanksgiving 2020 started out with me sobbing, out of nowhere, on the couch next to my husband.

Neither John NOR I had any idea what was going on!

WHY was I crying? I wasn’t quite feeling sadness.

Is this malaise? Everything’s so MEH, you know?

Thanksgiving was one loooooong ass day...

NO ONE NEEDS what I HAVE TO OFFER...

She looked at me with all seriousness & said, “What if everyone wants me on their stage? Who’ll take care of my family?”

I don’t think of Kerri as a “friend”, but I’m pretty sure she thinks of me as one.

She commends endlessly about the pictures I post in my marketing because I use a LOT of photos of myself.

There’s teasing about my photo shoots, having my...

My podcast producer should’ve said, “JEN! You’re too late.”

But that’s not who Phyllis is. Instead, she said, “No problem. We’ll make it happen.”

And in my frenzy to record & upload my weekly podcast, I failed to notice…I was at EPISODE...

Remember Saturday mornings?

Sitting in the TV’s glow, Froot Loops turning your bowl of milk purply-blue, then slurping that sweet deliciousness down…

Or maybe you were a Cap’n Crunch fan, even though that crap would rip the SHIT out of the roof o’your mouth because...
