Ever feel like you’ve tucked away the best, most vibrant parts of yourself and prioritized the the optics of being a responsible adult?
Between career moves, relationships, and endless to-do lists, it’s easy to let responsibility take the driver's seat while putting your authentic, silly, creative self in a drawer.
In this episode, Jenna shares a late-night dance outing that sparked the realization: you have the power to reconnect with past versions of yourself.
In her metaphor about life being a continuous quilt, Jenna explores how we can access our past "squares" - whether that’s dancing, playing a brass instrument, or being a mathlete - and bring those feelings of freedom, joy and authenticity back into our current adult lives.
