Summary
So excited to have Jen Hatmaker on to talk about these 4 things with Amy:
STARTING OVER:
In 2020, after 27 years of marriage, Jen found herself unexpectedly getting a divorce...forcing her to start things over! She talks about the suffering and loss and how she was able to rebuild and heal (regarding this topic...please go to Jen's Instagram, @JenHatmaker, and read her post from July 26th with the side by side picture of herself 2 years apart to the date...it's crazy/awesome how much lighter she looks this year!!)
BEING OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE:
Jen is no stranger to writing (she's a New York Times bestselling author!!) but she just wrote a cookbook for the first time and she definitely had to step outside of her comfort zone + learn to flex new muscles during that process! Her cookbook is called Feed These People (releasing 10/18) and it's all about cooking for normal people, hospitality, & the importance of the table! Amy's favorite sections are for sure: "Food That Goes In Carbs" & "Food When You Have No More Damns To Give." Click Here to order!
EMPTY NESTING (sort of):
Jen has no kids living with her for the first time since she was 23; and the "sort of" part is because Remy (a junior in high school) is doing a year abroad in Spain - so Jen is experiencing a quiet home for the first time in a very, very long time and she shares what that's been like for her!
GRATITUDE:
Jen does '4 Things Gratitude' by giving us a TV show, a book, a drink, and an Instagram follow that she is currently thankful for!
TV show: Derry Girls (Season 3 recently came out)
Book: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie
Food/Drink: Old Fashioned
Instagram Follow: @VicBlends
