Key Themes Discussed

The Price of Staying Too Long

• Jennifer stayed in marriage 27 years and jobs out of misplaced loyalty
• When we ignore signs that something isn't working, endings often become abrupt and dramatic
• Learning to recognize when it's time to invite change rather than wait for crisis

Listening to Your Inner Voice

• Intuition starts as a "tap on the shoulder" then gets louder if ignored
• The moment of clarity feels like an "inner click" - like a combination lock opening
• Daily practice of checking in: "What's going on here? What do I need to do differently?"

From Reaction to Response

• Shift from reacting to circumstances to making conscious choices
• "You can't control what happens to you, but you can be in charge of yourself and your reaction"
• Growth means some relationships may have "expiration dates"

Action Steps for Change

1. Go Internal First: Use spiritual practices and intuition to understand what needs to change
2. Seek External Support: Find communities of like-minded people working on growth
3. Consider Professional Coaching: Neutral support that believes in your ability to choose your path

Common Thread Among Women

Confidence is the #1 issue Jennifer sees with female clients

• "If something is tugging at your heart, you're meant to do it and capable of doing it"
• Focus on small, consistent steps rather than dramatic overhauls
• Look for signs that things are working and keep going

Practical Wisdom

• Small steps really do add up over time
• Growth isn't linear - expect ups and downs
• Resilience comes from knowing you can "get back up and take one more step"
• Transformation happens one small shift at a time
