Are You Leading Your Life, or is Your Life Leading You?
In the debut episode, our host, Jen Ingram shares how she was tired of living a life filled with all the "supposed tos" and "shoulds" that come with societal standards, and checking all the "boxes" of life, such as school, career, marriage, and children. She realized that this path was not bringing her joy or fulfillment, and wanted to create a life that was true to who she is. Hence A Whole Lotta Shift came into being and Jen, along with her guests, want to inspire and motivate listeners to become the best versions of themselves, as well as provide education on how to take the next steps in their business journeys.
“If you're needing some kind of permission slip or ticket to do something in your own way, and to tell all the other gurus out there to take a hike because you know how to roll up your sleeves and figure shit out for yourself because you know who you are [then] this is your permission slip to do just that.” - Jen
