Summary

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on: December 28, 2022. What up, homies! It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to the Women of Impact podcast. Today, buckle up because we're having an intimate heart-to-heart with someone who knows exactly what it means to be a freakin' badass at life while spilling all the beans on how to live courageously – none other than Jen Cohen! Let me tell you, girl, stepping into your power has never been clearer than when Jen breaks it all down. She’s the successful host of the "Habits and Hustle" podcast, and she’s here to give us a masterclass on owning your confidence, even when you feel like you’ve run out. We’re diving into her new book, "Bigger, Better, Bolder" where Jen lays out the principles to keep us showing up like the Wonder Women we are, on our hardest days. Listen up, because this isn't just about blowing smoke; Jen talks about why facing rejection is always going to trample over regret, and how it gets real when she tells us how to step into our own stories. So, you better grab your notebooks because Jen Cohen is bringing the fire, and trust me, you don’t want to miss out on unlocking the confidence and boldness that’s inside every single one of us.
