Have you ever wanted to punch people in the throat? Of course, you have. So has our guest today. Jen Mann started blogging because she wanted to punch people in the throat but writing about was a better option. Tired of the perfect parenting blog depiction of parenting, Jen set out to tell her truth. When her blog about the Elf on the Shelf went viral in 2011, she found herself with new followers and a new focus. Jen reminds us to use our anger for good, how to not take yourself too seriously, and how showing up as your real self, is freeing. Listen in and laugh along with April and Jen as they discuss life, motherhood, and living in today’s world.

Highlights of today’s show:

·       Think about what deserves your outrage.

·       Use your anger for good.

·       Find humor in things, even the hard things.

·       Step back from fights when you’ve said what you have to say.

·       Remember to laugh and drop the f-bomb when necessary!

After experiencing some financial hardships and navigating a system that was not designed to meet her needs, Celeste knew she had to figure out a way to support herself, her children, and her employees. She reminds us that we can do hard things even if we’re uncomfortable. Listen in to take the steps between where you are and where you want to be.

·       What can you do to learn more?

·       What is your vision?

·       What are the limitations of your imagination?

Life can be amazing. Even after a long-term relationship that doesn’t work. Even after a job that seems to be going nowhere. Even after 40. It requires something from you though: you need to stretch outside your comfort zone. Cheri Spigner joins April to discuss her journey of stretching outside of the familiar, comfortable, and consistent life she had been living. Tune in to hear how you can actively live your best life. 

How to Stretch Outside Your Comfort Zone:

-        Be inspired by what you do.

-        Take time to yourself.

-        Be willing to move if necessary.

-        Take accountability.

-        Establish your social circle.
