This week my friend and fellow JMT Coach, Julian, asked me to do a Live Zoom interview to share some of my story. It was certainly a FFT [F*ing First Time] as Brene’ describes. I was clueless with the technology and discovered I say ‘like’ much more than I realized to fill voids. I steppedContinue reading “Transformation I/V: Habits”

Personal Growth Opportunities
If you’re following along on my story, you already know that committing to my own personal growth transformed my life: professionally and personally in health, relationships, and spirituality. Personal development books and processes helped me build resiliency in recovering from difficulties, including multiple pregnancy losses and a divorce, and embrace my ability to design andContinue reading “Personal Growth Opportunities”
Transformation: Control to Surrender
I controlled everything I could and then lost pregnancy after pregnancy through no fault or action of my own. I spent countless hours lamenting the unfairness of it all. But over time I learned to be grateful for the lessons that all of these experiences taught me. The one I want to discuss again todayContinue reading “Transformation: Control to Surrender”
Transformation: Choices
I will never forget a conversation I had with a friend years ago when I felt stuck in a stressful job. After complaining to her on a call, yet again, she kindly but firmly told me: Jenn, if you want to talk about making a change I’m here. I don’t want to hear about yourContinue reading “Transformation: Choices”

On the long drive I reflected on what wisdom I could potentially impart onContinue reading “Reflection on Life Lessons”

Going from having cheat meals on the weekends to a strict no-cheats diet was harder mentally than I had anticipated. About 6 weeks in I told my boyfriend that I wasContinue reading “The journey to my first bodybuilding show”
Limiting Belief: I’m not a writer
I don’t know exactly when I started journaling by hand, but my first online journal started in January 2004 when I was 16. In addition to journaling, I wrote fanfiction [Harry Potter] and poems in high school and college. At some point after 2009 I stopped writing creatively almost completely, but I have always maintainedContinue reading “Limiting Belief: I’m not a writer”
Co-de-what? : Codependent
A few years ago I was having coffee with a friend at her home and venting about life (in this instance all the ways I needed my husband to step up and contribute to our relationship, finances, managing the household, etc. and how his continued refusal to do so hurt and upset me). She saidContinue reading “Co-de-what? : Codependent”
Past Performance Is Not Indicative Of Future Results
If you’re familiar with investments, you’ve probably seen the disclaimer “Past Performance Is Not Indicative Of Future Results.” I’m putting a little bit of a different spin on it today and saying this applies to people too. They say people don’t change… well, I’d like to show you how wrong “they” are and hopefully inspireContinue reading “Past Performance Is Not Indicative Of Future Results”
