You're INVITED

We are wired for connection, so the words invitation only can stop us in our tracks and stir up old feelings we would rather not revisit. Most of us know the sting of being left off a list. What we forget is how much power lives on the other side of an invitation, and how often we are the ones quietly waiting to be invited to something we already want. I want to flip that this week and put your invitation powers to good use. That might mean reaching out to someone who is waiting for those two words, or it might mean offering the invitation to yourself. Whatever you have been holding off on until someone hands you permission, consider this your nudge to stop waiting. Episode Highlights: * What pulling the thread on an invitation you never got can reveal * How extending an invitation to yourself can build real momentum * Who in your life might be waiting for you to extend the invitation __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

You CAN Change Your Life 9 Minutes at a Time

Most of us are living in a quiet wrestling match. There are the things we have to do, and there are the things we actually want to do, and somehow the things we're excited about keep getting pushed to the back burner. We tell ourselves we'll get to them once life slows down or we finally have enough time, and that day never quite arrives. This is the 100th episode, and I'm going back to the principle that started it all and the small, doable way everything shifts when you stop waiting for the perfect amount of time. I'm also bringing back something a lot of you have been asking me for. If there's something you've been putting off or telling yourself you'll never get to, consider this your nudge to begin. Episode Highlights: * Why the things you keep avoiding take far less time than you think * The simple pairing that takes the edge off whatever you've been resisting * What starts to change when you prove you can keep a promise to yourself __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

Life Lessons Worth Repeating

Some lessons you learn once, and they stick. Others you have to keep coming back to before they actually change anything. After 28 years of marriage, 98 podcast episodes, publishing a book, and more listener messages than I can count, I know which ones are worth repeating. In this episode, I'm sharing the lessons that have held up, the ones listeners wrote in about, the ones I keep coming back to myself, and the one thing you can do today to make sure the experiences you're walking through are actually working for you. Episode Highlights: * The decision-making habit that one listener says put her back in the driver's seat of her life * What a snoring husband taught me about gratitude and hard conversations * The nine-minute action that makes any lesson actually stick Be sure to listen all the way through, because I'm celebrating episode 100 with a giveaway and one listener is walking away with $100 cash! __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

Being PRESENT and STAYING There

Being present is one of those things that sounds simple until you actually try to do it consistently. It's probably one of the trickiest things to get right, and most of us are working on it more than we'd like to admit. A weekend away with my husband and grown sons gave me a front-row seat to what it actually feels like to stay there, not just show up, but really stay. In this episode, I'm sharing three things that help you slow down, pull your attention back when it starts to wander, and stay in the moment long enough to feel the joy that's already waiting for you. Episode Highlights: * Why slowing down doesn't mean you need more time, just a different pace * How to notice when your attention drifts and what to do about it * The one mindset shift that makes nine minutes of presence worth more than an hour of hurry __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.
