Be An Adorable Badass

Jen, Julie and Asses in Chairs

Tears, Truth & Turning Pain into Purpose This week’s podcast is a deeply personal one. I’m sharing a vulnerable story about reading Jen Hatmaker’s Awake and the unexpected emotional spiral that followed. What began as admiration turned into tears, comparison, an Enneagram 4 revelation (hello, melancholy and meaning-making 😆). Along the way, I talk about the beautiful reality of building dreams while still carrying in the folding chairs yourself… and yes, with much love, admit that if putting asses in seats is what helps women gather, heal, laugh, and come alive again… apparently I’m your chair-carrying girl! 😆🪑✨ If you’ve ever felt behind, questioned your path, or compared your journey to someone else’s, this episode is for you. And I’m also joined by the brave and inspiring Julie LaMeng, who shares her own story of pain, healing, and stepping into her voice through music and courage. Thanks in part to the inspiration and mentorship of Karen Drucker, Julie is creating songs of hope and facing fears in beautiful ways. This episode is about awakening, authenticity, and remembering that being an adorable badass doesn’t mean having it all figured out… it means showing up anyway. 💛 Come pull up a chair with us!
