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.

I am my brand, after all.

There’s teasing about my photo shoots, having my face constantly in her social fee...

This song is before my time, but have you ever heard that old Dusty Springfield song from 1964?

The words hit me in the car last week because WAY TOO MANY women are using this as their business strategy!

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 100!

Big Deal, right? Getting to 100 episodes is kind of an...

Remember Saturday mornings?

There are two types of people in the world:

First up are the people who are totally comfortable having those little red indicator numbers all over their phone.

I’ve got a little habit that’s becoming an ugly addiction - 

I could put a stop to it…but I’m simply not doing much about it.

Around 9:15ish every night, I give a big yawn & say G’night to my husband & son –

They’re eager to start watching something violent and distasteful – so they gleefully blo...

I wanted to pretend that COVID wasn’t happening.

Back in late February 2020, when COVID was starting to become part of everyday life in the US –

I wondered if I should mention it in my content…

I thought This is going to go away soon.

Do I want to address it in a blog someone may read later?

The job had been dropped in her lap accidentally. She was sure of it.

Muddling through her new position as Director of Client Relations, Rachael waited to be found out for the fraud she was.

Her anxiety ripped into high gear. It was hard to sleep –
