In this Episode, Esmie and Jen Discuss:

• Struggles Jen faced growing up. (Being a female over 6 feet tall, bigger than peers, an eating disorder and accepting herself,)
• Jen's Adulthood and the struggles. (Alcohol addiction, going to jail, hospital visit and learning self-love)
• How Jen overcame her struggles and discovered her passion. (Self- acceptance, exercise, affirmations, helping others)
• Loving herself enough to change her life. (Doing things she likes such as switching jobs, doing speeches, writing and having an encouraging partner)
• Things that made her feel proud.
• Jen's book, Reset. A book about changing your life and reclaiming your power.

Key Takeaways:

• Love yourself to truly live life, and overcome struggles.
• If you want your life to change, try to eliminate things from your life that are of no use to you.
• Try new things, spend more time on rewarding things that bring you joy.
• Struggles that are conquered brings forth victory and passion.
• Be happy to be yourself, there is no one like you, and that can be leverage if your best and being you.
• You can overcome your past. Others did it, and so can you if you believe.
