I want to give you a little gift. This is chapter 1 of my book, Fear Is Not the Boss of You. This book has been 4 years in the making and it is finally time to launch, even if it is in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. And maybe now is the time more than ever that people need this message about fear. Being overwhelmed, or stuck, or afraid does not have to be your story. There is a better way. Let me tell you about it.
And, I would be sooooo honored if you would like to purchase a copy of the entire book. Just go to jenniferallwood.com/book. You can get the audiobook, hardback, paperback—whichever trips your trigger!

I have had a word in my heart and I think this is the right time to share it. There are so many things right now that are dividing us as a society. Politics, opinions on COVID-19 and how to handle it, and so much more. It is all causing so much division. I want to remind us all that the fight is not with each other. The real fight is between good and evil, and it will be waged on our knees, not in comments on Facebook. I hope this episode is an encouragement to you!

I am not sure there has ever been a time when being flexible and making pivots has been more important than right now.

Times are pretty crazy right now and people are handling it in so many different ways. But one thing I want us all to keep in check is pain-shaming or playing the hardship olympics. There is always someone worse off, but that doesn't mean your pain or fear or frustration or sadness isn't valid. Often times, people just want to be seen and heard. Listen as I share an experience from my week where I was pain shamed. I also got some great feedback and advice from you guys that I know to will be helpful!

If you have followed me for a hot minute, you know I am a firm believer of never putting all your eggs in one basket. When you use someone else’s platform to sell your goods, you have to follow their rules and their guidelines. And when they make changes to those rules, you have NO option but to follow along—even if those changes make a negative impact on your business that you have worked so hard to build! Let’s dive into what has happened on Etsy lately and what I think you should do about it!

Sometimes the enemy can use distraction to take your focus off where it needs to be. However, I think God can also use something in our lives as a way to distract us in a good way. Right now I am doing a liver detox and have been very distracted by focusing on the health and wellness of my family. The blessing is that it has prevented me from worrying and fretting over my conference and book tour. We can reframe distraction as a way to help us deal with worry and struggle!
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

I just love it when God gives me a whole idea from something seemingly small like a workout move. I was trying to follow along with my Peloton app and was really making a mess of this particular exercise. Then the instructor said it was okay if we were struggling. She explained we were teaching our bodies how to recover quickly. Listen in as I unpack how we can use this concept in our businesses and lives. Let's look at how we can reframe stumbling or failing as training for success!

If you follow me on Instagram or YouTube, you know a few weeks ago I did some videos talking about how within 6 months I’ve lost half my hair. I am watching very closely what’s going on with the Deva Curl products and have become very invested. First, because of my own personal health and second, as a business person to see how they as a company handle this storm. There is a lot for us as business owners and consumers to learn here.

Two years after leaving her corporate banking career to be home with her newborn son, Jaime Cross began to feel the daunting emptiness of mediocrity. Knowing there was more, and feeling the pull of vision and purpose, Jaime began earnestly seeking direction. She longed to be unleashed to fulfill the calling that stirred within her soul.
During a quiet and lonely night of seeking, she asked God for a billion-dollar idea and soon after, saw a business plan in a dream.
Jaime embarked on her entrepreneurial journey the next morning and after eight long years of trial and error.... and a lot of mistakes and tears... her multi seven-figure company is one of the fastest-growing organic skincare companies in the world. Jaime now stands at the forefront of business as a force for good, bridging her two empires, MIG and The HER Effect together to equip and surround women who are ready to rise. She is passionately paving the way for women to embody true beauty, pursue purpose, and embark on their own journey towards Becoming HER with profitability and a soul set on fire.

I have seen something several times lately that I am not okay with. It is people using someone's faith as a way to guilt or shame them into doing something. This form of manipulation should not be tolerated. It is not okay, and I want to give you permission to not be taken advantage of in this way. Instead, know what the Bible says and let that be what guides your decisions in life and business.

In the last few weeks, I have come across several women who are using their faith as an excuse to not grow their businesses and not have boundaries in their businesses. I am all for giving things away, like this podcast. But if you are not ever making money, it is a service or a ministry you are providing, not a business. Just because you love Jesus, does not mean you are to give everything away for free and not have any boundaries with your time and skills. I know this message is for someone, so listen in!

Have you ever noticed that the enemy is just waiting for you to gain momentum and get the courage to do something you know God wants you to do, only so he can put a stop to it? He will steal, kill, and destroy using discouragement! You need to be wise enough to recognize when this happens. You also need a strategy and an arsenal to not let the discouragement win. One of the best ways I have found to battle discouragement is to go to my vault of courage. Listen in as I share the details!
