Jen is the married mother of three boys and a traumatic event survivor.  In this episode Jen shares how a traumatic life event provoked a change in perspective and a shift in her locus of control.  Jen uses a technology called "Stick Theory"  to evaluate her approach to life, finding balance and simplicity. Jen says she likes to "stay curious, not furious".  

Locus of control refers to the degree to which an individual feels a sense of agency in regard to his or her life. Someone with an internal locus of control will believe that the things that happen to them are greatly influenced by their own abilities, actions, or mistakes. A person with an external locus of control will tend to feel that other forces—such as random chance, environmental factors, or the actions of others—are more responsible for the events that occur in the individual's life.

In the A Good Day to Die Podcast - My guests and I will erase preconceived notions about what it means to be 50 years old and beyond. We will discuss how familial and societal programming limits our expansive potential and how we can deprogram and break free. We will challenge the allopathic model of healthcare and consider an integrative approach to health, wellness and disease prevention. We’ll talk about business, passive income, entrepreneurship and philanthropy!  We will discuss our role as humans, our self determination, our responsibilities to ourselves and to the collective. We will ponder whether or not we are actually living inside of a video game. We will contemplate all of the ways in which we can make every day A Good Day to Die.
