The Metanoia Project

Life seems complicated these days. We’re all busy, yet how do we achieve living a life full of joy.  Success, money, and business are top of our priority list, yet deep in our hearts we need to cultivate a life filled with joy.  We need to allow ourselves to lean into joy and give into those moments, we will build resilience and cultivate joy. 

You are enough. Hear it, and then hear it again. You are enough. Let it really sink in. We often hear this phrase, but we often forget the depth of the meaning behind it. We live in a world where we continuously feel that we don’t belong and don’t live up to certain expectations of others around us.  The highest expectations are often not the ones that other people set for us, but it’s the high standards we set for ourselves. When we fail to meet these unrealistic expectations, we beat ourselves up, feel a sense of unworthiness, and think we are never going to be enough. Being enough is a mindset, not an acquisition.  Our conditioning plays a major part in this. You know all the stuff  you’ve been picking ever since childhood; the things people have said to you, and the way you have been treated by others. What you think and believe about yourself really matters.  Those unconscious thoughts play  in the background of our minds, can either be negative beliefs or empowering ones.

Like many these days, I have traveled and relocated quite frequently, and fortunately for me it’s one of my favorite things to do.  At first, I relocated between houses, then cities,  and then eventually different states. I’ve seen beautiful places and met the most wonderful people but by far the best direction I ever moved in is inward. To go inward inside of ourselves, is truly the best place to go if you want to move forward in life. I have discovered no matter where I go in this world, I am exactly in the same place.  This is not your physical location, it’s the place in your life where you’re experiencing your internal environment from which is the inside of yourself. The only place you, me, and everyone else can ever be, is inside. This is so important. Because whatever we feel or think from the inside determines our experience on anything in our external environment.. Our day-to-day. Our relationships. Our work. Our well-being. Everything. Without exception. And yet, whatever inside experience at any given moment is not of our liking, our first response tends to be: let’s change the outside environment or the external situation we find ourselves in. We end friendships, relationships, quit jobs, or move cross country to get away from whatever bothers us. But if you truly want to have any forward movement in life, you have to look inside yourself. . The only way is in. . You have the power to choose and decide what happens inside of yourself. Today, don’t look back. Look forward. Look upward. 

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. But here's the thing— every day is the first day of the rest of your life. Every day you have a chance to set things up for a better future. And the future will be better. You just need to think about how much your life has changed to see that. If you look at how things were a few years ago, you'll see obstacles you never thought you would overcome, stresses that kept you up at night. But many of those things will just fall by the wayside with time.

Gratitude doesn't change everything, but it does change YOU. And when you change, everything seems... different. Listen to this episode about gratitude to remember: when you appreciate what you love, you're asking for more of it to flow through your life.

The reality is that to be truly happy, you need to put "you" first sometimes. If that means being selfish, do so with a smile on your face. Am I saying to ignore others or how they feel, always choose yourself or become completely inconsiderate 100-percent of the time? Absolutely not -- life is about balance.

We crave stories of triumph over adversity because we need to hear them. A story without struggle is ultimately unsatisfying and, as a result, less likely to result in change.  Stories ignite our imagination and help us to make sense of the struggles we all face  during our Metanioa.  Personal stories have the power to shape our lives and Jennifer shares her personal story with the lives of our listeners. 

In a world where we are inundated daily with crazy deadlines, it is more important than ever that we focus on making our dreams our reality.  Visionboarding   give us the tools to see our lives with new eyes, fires our imagination, and fuels us with potential mark our goals a reality.

 2018 might have been a year that lasted forever, but The Metanoia Project is  is here at last. It took some time, but 2019 has reared its head... and we are here to shed some light on The Metanoia Project  and to help others on the journey of changing one's mind heart, self, or way of life.

This podcast episode was recorded spur of the moment with one of my favorite people in the world my best friend, Kristen. We chat over dinner and drinks all things about life itself and it's challenges.

This podcast episode is near and dear to my heart. My good friend and fellow podcaster Victoria Graci joins us to talk about our mutual love of Florida, and the major steps we take in life to become better versions of ourselves.

Each day is an opportunity to go deeper into our own life and who we desire to be in this world. Yes, we need to get clear around what we want and move towards that, yet understanding that we are ever evolving and ever growing beings that get to experience MORE, and move into a better future.

Fear is Healthy, Panic is Deadly! Fear holds us back in one form or another, and the only way we can over come it is by not letting it consume our thoughts and actions. The only person who can control it is you.

What is Joy? Jennifer divulges into the purpose of joy, and steps to Live a life full of joy. The purpose of life is joy- find that everything falls into place. Joy is an attitude of the heart!

In a stuck moment, it’s hard to see positivity when obstacles are blaring and your fears are looking. This is a good time to be grateful. Not grateful for what has us stuck, but appreciating what doesn’t. Gratitude helps us see our situation in a way that can lessen panic and open up our thinking to new solutions.

Life is all about continuous progress: the ability to move forward and to achieve greatness. You cannot hope to ever achieve such things if you are holding on to things from your past. Jennifer talks about her favorite t.v. show Being Erica, and how it gives insight in learning how our past regrets and actions no longer serve us as we move forward in our lives.

Everything that has a beginning, has an ending, just as every ending creates room for something new. The wonder of a second chance, the miracle of new life, the joy of a new love. My name is Jennifer Conrad, and today is the end of one chapter, and the beginning of the rest of my life.

Jennifer Conrad is back after a brief hiatus, and on today's episode we talk about popsicles and how timing on our life's journey is everything!

Jennifer introduces herself to the world, as she begins to break down happiness and joy. She shares her story about her metanoia which is a changing of the way you think and change of heart, and gives you insight into her life.
