Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. I want to talk a little bit in this episode about

pursuing your passions or living your purpose. There come times in our lives when we kind of think,

what's next? What's my big girl job? What should I be doing with my life? Maybe you want to have

a career change, or maybe you're a mom whose kids are all in school now and

you're ready for that next step. Well, a lot of women get stuck here though because they think,

oh, I don't know what my purpose is. I don't know what I even love to do anymore. It's been so long.

Well, my tip or my advice for you is this. Just start doing the things you love. And if you don't

know what those are, experiment. Try new things. Pay attention to how you feel inside. There are going to be

some things that truly energize you. You come away from that event feeling on fire with excitement.

So, for example, when I first attended a yoga

class, I wasn't sure, but I didn't feel drained or negative. So I kept going. And after a few times of that,

I was on fire with excitement for yoga. So give it a chance and then pay attention to the opposite as

well. If you try something and you're like,

eh, you know, maybe your best friend loves it. I have friends who love to sew. Nothing would make me

want to poke my eyes out more than sewing. I know from experience. I have Boy Scouts in our family

and trying to sew in those scout patches made me want to die.

So those of you who sew well done. And that's what I love. Just as there is a diversity of

birds or species of animals, I mean, just so many different kinds of animals out there or plants.

And it makes our world really beautiful. So it is with women. We should be diverse and unique and

amazing and beautiful using our feelings as our guide. So pay attention to how you feel when you do

anything and do more of the things that feel amazing and less of the things that leave you

mad or frustrated or drained like sewing does for me.
