Welcome to the Vibrins Happy Women Podcasts.

Hey there, my friends, Jen here.

If you're listening to this podcast, whether it's your first time or you've been here

before, you've been around the block with me, you probably are interested in personal

development, in self-help, in growth, in being your best self.

Well, you're in the right place, and I want to share

that. I was thinking back, and I've been interested in self-help topics since about age 15.

The first self-help book I remember owning was a book by Tony Robbins. And it blew my mind because I grew up thinking, like everyone else

in my small, small town in Southwest Iowa, a farm town, the thoughts primarily were work hard,

be honest, and you will succeed. Well, there was this whole world of think positively and you can be

something better than you are now. Change your thinking, change your life, change your physiology,

change your state, stand up, pull your shoulders back, say something with a confident voice.

It will change what's

going on in your body. And my mind was blown because, wow, I'd never heard that before.

So here we are. How many years later? 30-ish? Oh my gosh. Almost 30 years later. I still love

that topic. I feel like self-help, personal growth,

Brene Brown, Tony Robbins, all those amazing people are my jam. And I hope you feel the same.
