S2 E20 Author Jenny Blake on Intuition, Desires, Unconventional Choices, Free Time, and Truth While It's Fresh

Hello my Lovelies! 

This is a full circle moment for me, an opportunity to speak with a podcaster and author I've admired from afar since 2018. 

We geek out on topics like intuition, somatic and body-based wisdom, free time, neurochemistry, avoiding social media, envy, desires, opting out of parenthood, the auntie brigade, vulnerability, and salty podcasts. Such a juicy conversation! 

Jenny Blake is an author and podcaster who runs a media and licensing company. She loves helping people move from friction to flow through smarter systems, powered by Delightfully Tiny Teams. She recently released her award-winning third book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business (Ideapress, 2022).

Jenny is also the author of Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One (Portfolio, 2016), winner of the Axiom award for Best Business Book in the Careers category, and co-creator of Googles’s global drop-in coaching program, Career Guru. She hosts two podcasts with over 2 million downloads combined: Free Time with Jenny Blake for Heart-Based Business owners, and Pivot with Jenny Blake for navigating change.

Many thanks to Jenny Blake and her BFF community.
