I was lucky enough to meet and work with Jenna Kutcher a few years ago while I was living in New York City. I had just finishing writing my new book, Finding My Shine, and was trying to decide who I wanted to shoot the cover of it. I came across Jenna from a mutual friend and the moment we got connected and started talking, I knew I loved here! Something about her energy was electric and I knew we would be instant friends. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but just an amazing and inspiring person… you must follow her on instagram!
What are your morning rituals?
– Well, if hitting the snooze could be considered a ritual than I would be the ritual queen! Drew and I usually roll out of bed around 7:30AM and let the dogs out and then hit the gym. I have to go right away in the morning or else it just isn’t going to happen. We work out Monday – Friday and do crossfit together and then dive into work when we are all done.
When you think of the word “successful”, who is the first person that comes to your mind?
Joanna Gaines. I admire the heck out of her! She has built a true empire and continues to expand her reach while also maintaining a semblance of balance as a wife, mother, designer, creator, and business woman. I love that she stays pretty private while still creating an insane connection just through the work she does both on and off of TV. I love women who pursue multiple passions with grace and I think Jojo does just that.
What is your favorite book?
-Right now it’s “Present Over Perfect” by Shauna Niequist. What a beautiful reminder to slow down, to choose progress over perfection, to be present and lift our eyes to the life happening around us. Reading that book was like daggers to my soul in such a positive way, because I have a tendency to bury my head in the work I am doing and get consumed over all the things I am passionate about but our presence should be our biggest gift.
What would you tell your 10 year old self?
“You’re going to change the world and you don’t need to be perfect to make an impact.” When I was 10 I was a competitive gymnast, the kind of girl who pushed for perfection in every aspect of life. I wanted big things but I had no clue that my path would lead me to where I am today. I was a sensitive little girl with a lot of grit and tenacity, I believed in kindness, but I never knew that those imperfections that I loathed would become the things that have skyrocketed me to where I am today: still imperfect, but perfectly happy and driven.
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
“Even still, amen.” We’ve walked a really challenging road this last year losing two babies to miscarriage. I’ve questioned a lot of things, felt alone, experienced grief in a way I wasn’t prepared for but I’ve also learned so much. God has taught me to be empathetic, to lean on him and his timing, to trust that his plans are bigger than mine. He hasn’t let me down yet and so I am in this season of praying and waiting and saying, “Even still, amen.” Even if things aren’t the way I thought they would be today, they are still so full of good and joy and beauty.
What do you believe is true, even if you can’t prove it?
You are enough. I believe that you are enough, perfectly enough, crazily enough just the way you are right now. I know that you might not believe it, you might be waiting for the perfect time or circumstance or relationship or pant size but I know without a shadow of a doubt that you are enough right here in this moment. I know that you’re pushing off progress in pursuit of perfection and you’re waiting for a sign (this is it) but I see you and I hear you and all I can see is you whole, enough, and ready to change the world.
What inspires you?
This might sound weird but time inspires me. I want to live the fullest, wildest, most passionate life and I know more than ever that in order to do that, I have to fill my days intentionally with the right things to help me reach that crazy goal. I don’t look at money as my currency, I see time as that and every single day that I wake up breathing my bank is filled up again and I have the choice in how I will use it. I want to spend every minute of it well, that inspires me a lot more than money ever could.

this enormous post to increase my knowledge.
These automakers will have the opportunity to respond to preliminary conclusions. But if convicted, these companies will face a fine of up to 10% of their global annual sales.
I think the admin of this web page is actually working hard for his website,
since here every material is quality based stuff.
Apart from the aforementioned branded accents, the AJ4 introduced several other embellishments that have become iconic: they were the first Air Jordan silhouette to feature mesh-netted overlays, and also boasted a unique support and lockdown system provided by the iconic “wings” on the lateral and medial sides.
OVwOR1 I think other site proprietors should take this website as an model, very clean and fantastic user friendly style and design, as well as the content. You are an expert in this topic!
However, you should not think that knowing these terms can easily become a developer. This is not enough. You have to check out more comprehensive blockchain vocabularies on your own. You will find more terms you need to know, such as consensus, DAO, ASIC, EVM, etc.
naturally like your web site however you have to test the
spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome
to tell the reality on the other hand I will definitely come again again.

But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites
