HIGHLIGHTS:

Getting out of your comfort zone and do something you actually enjoy doing

Jenn shares how she had to break out of her bubble numerous times before she broke out of it by following her passion. She found herself spending six to seven hours a day learning through free trials of websites, software, solutions, and more. 

Brave is being disappointing everyone else, but never yourself 

Jenn shares how she chose to disappoint rather than settle into her own disappointment. Her clarity showed her that no matter what others said, she was following her dream. The key mindset was, “What are you going to be doing to make yourself happy?”

Seeing opportunities, not obstacles or problems. 

In many situations, you can choose to see obstacles or problems. You ended up taking a direction and it may be totally different from the path you thought you were on. It’s just being open to whatever experiences come your way. You can choose how you see that.

Unexpected brave role model: Anthony Bourdain

Jenn shares how Anthony Bourdain is a BRAVE role model. He not only travelled the world, challenges ideas and concepts, explored food and people, he also left a lovely record of his death by suicide and his soul. We go through difficult times and we can still all be role models. Our choices are ours and we can honor someone. We can appreciate them. We can learn from them. There are no pedestals.
