THE CAREER MAP JOURNAL IS HERE!
Welcome friends!! Today is such a special day. A day where a dream I've had for a very long time has finally happened. (It's a little surreal!) I'm so excited to dive into these topics with you today….  Why journaling is important - not only from what I've seen but from what research has shown as well.  Why I created the Career Map Journal. Complete with stories of how I felt my needs weren't being met in this area and some things I was noticing with clients that I know you'll be able to relate to. What's actually in the journal. I'm going to walk you through all.the.things - who this is for, what can you find in the pages, what to expect after you purchase the journal. What I learned from creating this journal - a little behind the scenes peak at creating a physical product to sell. So come with me as I reflect on my journey on creating this journal and why journaling is so important for your career! Connect with Jena LinkedIn // Instagram // Purchase the Journal

How to Incorporate Your Faith at Work
We're flipping the mic for our 100th episode! Today, I'm going to be the guest and my good business friend, Elizabeth McCravy will be the host interviewing me!  Today we're going to be talking about a subject that isn't talked about a lot but that is very important to me - incorporating your faith at work. Faith at work is such an important topic for me because of how I became a believer (which you'll hear about in the episode). I incorporate the topic in some of my LinkedIn posts, and of course it ends up coming out in some of my podcast episodes, but I've never had an entire episode dedicated to this topic.  So when I was thinking about what I wanted to talk about during my 100th episode, this is naturally what came to my mind. I'm super excited to dive into this topic with you all! If you've ever had questions on how you could incorporate your faith at work and what that looks like, then you don't want to miss today's episode!
