Hey there, welcome back to Vibrant Happy Women. I'm Jen Ridey, and I help moms build greater self-love.

0:07.2

Many of us think that being a mom is our number one role, and it definitely is hugely important,

0:13.4

but so often we identify with this self-sacrificing martyrdom of motherhood that we forget.

We are a woman first. And that's why this

0:23.2

podcast is called vibrant, happy women. It's so critical that we listen to our intuition and that

0:30.2

inner voice and build a sense of self-love so that we have the confidence we need to pursue our passions and live our purpose and do

those big and special things we were born to do. You can be a mom and a vibrant and happy woman.

Jill talked about being a freaking dime, B-F-D. Being a dime means you're at a

1:50.4

level 10 energy. And she tells you three areas you can focus on to get yourself there every single

1:56.6

morning, your body, your focus and your inner dialogue, B- BFD. It was so powerful. I received so many

2:05.0

emails about this. I heard from Shar who said, oh, Jen, what an incredible gift I have been given.

2:11.4

You and Jill rocked my world and let me tell you it was just what I needed. Loved it. I've been sharing it, listening to it over and over and journaling about it.
