Being the spotlight, being in stage and the like…I was criticized. I was questioned and made to doubt myself. I teach technology and after every class I feel shame. I cry then I go for a drive or in the bathroom to talk myself down. Now you give voice to my feeling. I don’t know how to make the feeling stop so now I talk to my little girl and remind her she is safe. Thank you for another spot on lesson. ❤
Yes to this discussion and thank you for saying how purpose is supposed to be selfish and not always about others. We are trained to give and pour into people until we have nothing left. Then we are blamed for not having enough for ourselves. This is something that I have struggled with and I am learning how to do what I need and want for myself without feeling guilty even though there are times that I do.
I absolutely love your connection with "I Love Lucy" and how it still lights you up today! Gee, when I try to think about who I was and what I enjoyed between the ages of 3-7, I'm sad to say, it's hard for me to recall - I'm so far removed from that little girl (not to mention, having spent a great deal of time not really knowing and understanding myself anyway over the years! It is upsetting to think about how much of my life was spent trying to live up to the standards set by others - "falling in line" of the status quo. Ugh!). But at any rate, what I appreciate so much about your work is that it makes me think about "me" in ways that SHOULD BE the status quo. And I couldn't agree with you more: this topic excites me, too, because I've always known there is more to life - more to my existence - than just food, clothing, shelter, paying bills, etc. You are a very good storyteller! And OMG! "We have been taught to chase 'service' and 'approval of other'" My gawd!! So many good gems in this video - Thank you!!
I was and still am a tomboy who loved Mae West, Carol Burnett, Cher, and Diana Ross as a little girl in the 70s and 80s. I love dancing and playing outside. In the 2000's, I started making jewelry to sell, but like you said, I lost the joy in it due to the selling aspect. I resigned 4 years ago from my career as a fashion stylist for HSN to become an LMT, which I truly love. I still make earrings when the creative spirit hits. I do content on UA-cam and my other social media pages. You hit so many great points in this video I could go on and on. Once again, great job!
this was a thought provoking episode for me, like all of your episodes are lol but what really stuck out to me was the part about figuring out your core values. that’s so important and i never really thought about that. core values are a guiding light in a way and help you stay on track. my current company is always reiterating our core values and ensuring that we stick to them and use them on a daily. time for me to figure out mine 🏃🏾♀️thank you jennifer for your wisdom ❤️
THIS EP THO !!! I share this comment in its entirety unapologetically... Gratitude to the querent that asked the question and immense gratitude for you Jennifer in being in and on your purpose drenched in joy. This is the perfect emotional meal my soul needed to indulge in from start to finish. To the person reading this-besides Jennifer-gift yourself the course of BMW-not the car but, the drive to the true Love of You. I have NO REGRETS in doing so.
Ok here’s my real comment after watching… I agree film making is yo thing I so enjoy the blog with you and your young man y’all are hilarious ( punchbuggy no git backs😂😂😂). Learning to chase my joy is a great thing to look for in the new year. See you next Tuesday sis🙌🏾
What if you've lived your purpose..(things you were naturally good at). But it came at a loss of passion. Nobody talks about how purpose and passion can be different. At almost 55..I'm now going back to seeking PASSION!😊 "Thanks for this video.

So happy you read my mind regarding purpose and it being "self-centered", "selfish", "all about you".

Being connected with your pleasure is so important to finding your passion and purpose, you're absolutely right. Those emotions are neighbors.
Thanks for sharing.
I needed to hear this today 💜
You are so welcome❤

Thank you so much for this. So much of your guidance resonated with me. You hit so many important points. For the "benefit of YOU!" Yes!
Thank you
I can resonate with everything you are saying Jennifer and find myself saying yes after all the points you make. ThanQ for this video 💜

"Thanks for this video.
I’m having a hard time remembering what I liked as a church. I have so much trauma that it has blocked my memory.
