Hello there this is the second part of the episode with Skye. Thank you for hanging around for round two. Skye truly is so inspiring. Her ability to keep going and never settle is amazing. She has a fantastic heart and she works her butt off in the girl boss space.  Listen as we get to my last questions and let us both help you find todays push for just a bit more out of life! Listner's, thank you all for hanging in here lately, I am on my own journey and feel life has been beyond a wild ride lately.  Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you. 

Today I chat with my wonderful friend Skye. She has been a friend for just 2 short years but somehow it feels like forever. And I mean that in a good way.  Skye is wise beyond her years and she is one of those people you want in your life, for the good times and especially during the bad. This episode became a 2 part chat. So stick with us thru the tears and find inspiration in the highs and the lows. We are here for all of it and frankly this is what keeps our friendship and our bossbabe badassery moving forward on the daily! Next week we finish our chat and get to those last couple questions.

Today I chat with Shannon Sabins a microbiologist. She shares her journey to finding the best way is to, just do the hard thing. She now has found herself, in a new piece of her journey and that is how we know each other.  We made each other laugh and we learned a few things about each other too. We could have many chats together and never get bored. It is funny how we felt like forever friends from the start today.  Note at the end our video cuts out. We loose the episode before the final thought. So we decided we need to make another episode in the fall. This cutting out due to internet connection... just decided it for us. Thank you for listening to us.  Shannon's Fibromyalgia and Lupus story is so inspiring.  Shannon, Thank you for sharing how your health and wellness journey got you to your strong badass self today!  Find Jen on Spotify as well as Google podcast and more.

Kids we have made it, yet another Magical Monday. We did it! Another week of awesomeness lies ahead. What will you do to make it badass? Lets ponder the idea of how swiftly time goes by. Today I reflect on how fricken fast time really does go by. I remember two songs that fit this conversation all though I referenced only one of them. Don't blink by Kenny Chesney and mostly the song by Trace Adkins you're gonna miss this. Both songs are tear jerkers and heart breakers depending on where you fit that timeline. Oy, 100 years goes faster than you think. I feel like this will echo many times in my podcasting career. Being a mama lion of 4 those moments seem to echo and circle back sort of like a soundtrack of my life.  Find Jen on Spotify as well as Google podcast and more.

Jayde shares her PCOS story. She married her high school sweetheart Kyle  She also speaks about her journey with trusting if a child was in the cards at all, or if there would be other options that were meant for their family.  I will have a follow up interview with her and her husband so they can share the couples view on how it feels to be in this place of longing for a child and perhaps the wondering if they will ever hold their own. We don't only chat serious things today tho. We giggled about her song choice, mostly because I don't know either of them. The rocket summer, brat pack? Never heard of it. lol. Also, her pet peeve suprsied me. I believe sharing is caring. I also believe that giving a voice to the things some cannot bear to hear about let alone share, truly matters. I wanted to give a voice to the pain that can lead to the beauty of a child.

Hey there Podcast Peeps. Today is a Rad interview with none other than Catt. She speaks on how the book the 4 agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz literally changed her life. Could it do that for you too? Let her explain it and its simplicity. Hear how she gives me words to speak and I would love you to speak them too yourself too. Get your white board marker you are going to need it. So many hidden gems in todays episode. We didn't get to talk about everything. One thing we didn't explain is how we met. How is that you ask? Funny thing actually. We met in Utah three years ago, in the mecca for all things Multi Level Marketing. Something that is close to my heart. We were there for the company we worked with for CBD or cannabinoids.  Perhaps you may not know, I am very passionate about them. I love helping people understand there are ways to heal and find freedom from what holds us back. Catt and I are both Endo advocates and we are fibromyalgia and chronic pain warriors, we believe in the power of hemp derived cannabinoids.  Another fun fact about todays episode. Catt had to record with me while in her bathtub. Her internet was tricky. She makes me giggle and her light and sunshine truly are a blessing for the whole world. Thank You Catt for Blessing me with this Rad Chat and your Awesomeness!

Todays episode may be sensitive for some listener's. It is the story of my loss this summer.. the feels and the recovery. I am still not past the tears.. the pain and the reminders of them. Loss is a tricky thing. Saying goodbye is painful especially in freak accidents. I will never forget, nor will our children. Family doesn't always have 2 legs.. in the case of these 4 family members, it definately does not. Please listen as I share and find me on my Instagram to share your own stories of loss and how you have overcame. I would love the encouragement. As this will be a long time of healing I am sure.

What are you waiting for? When was the last time you said to yourself, self, you have got this? Do you sit back and let "they" define who you are and what you are going to be?

What is it going to take to choose YOU?  Let's start with something simple shall we?  Find Jen on Spotify as well as Google podcast and more. Subscribe here on Spotify and follow on Apple.

Heads up listener's, first I want to let you know this episode could be a trigger, and or sensitive subject matter.   Please be aware this chat is my amazing friends journey to wholeness from her past traumas. Jen briefly discusses her childhood abuse, marital abuse and how she was once sex trafficked.  However, mostly what she does is offer encouragement and hope. She truly is a wise warrior and a complete blessing to me and anyone who hears her story. She explains how she has healed through the years with help from yoga, meditation, her art, therapy and more. Her mission is to not have her voice or others silenced. She said "after a while the warrior inside you has enough scars it doesn't matter."  Though she may share some graffic details, I truly believe her sharing in these days that we are living is more important than ever. Mental health and awareness in matters like what she experienced need to be discussed.  You can find Jen Dart on Facebook. She is also on Instagram @jensmakeupsanctuary and via Youtube Jen's makeup sanctuary. 

Thank you for showing up to Magical Monday today. Where we choose outwardly, that it doesn't have to be the bad guy, Monday that is. Todays episode is FIRE.  Why are you staying in the enclosure? What is it going to take to get you to walk thru the gate? Do not sit inside while freedom is outside. What are you gaining by staying?  I say it is time to walk thru the gate? Choose to go where you are being called. Freedom is on the other side.  Be a light today. Step thru, and choose. You get to choose. I give you permission to be the light someone needs today.  Choose to be brave. Choose to to be courageous. It just might change a life.  Find Jen on Spotify as well as Google podcast and more.
