Thinking about what you want for your life can be scary!
Dena Jansen, author, speaker, and coach, with a background in corporate leadership, began her adult life in accountancy and as a farmer’s wife. Making the transition out of corporate to entrepreneurship, Dena walked into a different space in her career and within her marriage.
Dena’s book, Soul Farmer, is a book of self-reflection, which guides the reader through giving yourself time to be with yourself - remembering to invest in yourself, and allowing yourself time to rest. Farmers know that the ground needs time to rest, and Dena believes the same is true for us as people; her husband grows plants, and she grows people, as they both found their own passions, they were able to support each other as they grew.
Growing is not easy - but you do not have to grow alone!
Notes:💍 Dena realized that her marriage and career weren't healthy: she and her husband aged together, but didn't grow together.
2:51🤩 She and her husband are now on their "second marriage": her husband can grow plants, and she can grow people.
5:32📙 Her book Soul Farmer talks about everything you receive from her as a coach.
7:02📕 Jennifer's book is for business owners who find themselves sometimes hating their business.
9:43🌱 A different perspective on growth: from the farmer's perspective vs. seed's perspective.
12:05☯️ The biggest tool that comes out of the Soul Farmer book is self-reflection: giving yourself time with yourself.
14:47⚠️ It can be scary to think about what you want.
18:38🧘♀️ It's about pacing yourself: even the ground needs time to rest.
21:01📵 Invest in yourself: if nothing else, put your phone down for 60 minutes.
