The moment that I whispered the first I need help was like the moment that my eyes were open to what help can bring and how help can change my life.

And asking for help is really I think like working out. It's like the more you do it, the easier it gets.

But I think for a lot of people that initial it's like prides at our chokehold of like, I've got this, I've got this, I've got this until I really don't.

It's scary.

Okay, so here's my question.

When was the last time you answered the question, how are you? Honestly, whether small talk is a good thing, a bad thing or just a thing, it's a kind of a matter of passionate debate these days, but the bigger issue, especially this question brings it up when it's time to get real, what do we do?

Do we bail or do we actually open up to it?

Both with other people and also with ourselves, and what are we losing, what parts of ourselves, our relationships, our lives, our we force saking when we hide behind the facade of social propriety?

There comes this time when it's crucial to move beyond the surface level.

If we want to invite deeper and more fulfilled connections into our lives and find community that will support and unlift us.

So today, I'm joined by Jenna Kutcher to talk about this idea and so much more, the notion of diving deeper below the surface in all parts of life to spark meaningful connections and ultimately a more authentic and rich life.

Jenna is a born and raised Minnesota and wife mom, wildly successful educational entrepreneur and aims for two things daily that I can totally respect helping others wake up to life and staying in comfy pants.

After leaving a mainstream yet largely life-sucking career that was a complete misfit for her, she found her way into art and then photography and eventually creative entrepreneurship.

And she began to realize that life is just so much bigger than she imagined and success was not what she'd always been told.

And as is her bent, the minute she learned something she loves to share. So she found it in hosts that now top-rated Gold digger podcast where Jenna's helped thousands really redefine and reimagine success and chase dreams through her decade long work as a leading online educator.

Her first book, How Are You Really Living Your Truth One Answer to Time is a deeply open guidebook to being alive that's chock full of both provocative imitations to rethink life.

As well as detailed guidance to lead you forward in a way that moves you closer to your heartbeat, your people and the good life that awaits you.

There are too many fascinating nuggets that touch on so many elements of living a good life throughout this conversation.

We kept bouncing into different topics and ideas and we followed the threats as we often do and there were just sort of these light bulb moments all over.

Like the importance of asking for help, how to navigate change, not just in life but in business while remaining grounded and the difference in asking that age old question with a simple tweak, how are you really could make in all of our relationships.

So if you're in a mission to own your life rather than the other way around, feel more live.

Good things are in store in this chat with Jenna. It's so excited to share this conversation with you. I'm Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life Project.
