    E83 The Power of Mindset and Sobriety with Jen Evans

    Hey everyone! Welcome back to Mom on the Verge. I’m Katie, your host, and I’m thrilled to share today’s conversation with Jen Evans, someone I connected with on so many levels. Jen is a former labor and delivery nurse—just like me!—who made the powerful decision to pivot her career and become a Certified Life Coach. She specializes in mindset coaching and truly believes in the power of our beliefs to help us create a life we love. In this episode, we dive deep into the importance of mindset, personal transformation, and living a sober life. Jen’s Journey from Nursing to Life Coaching: Jen shares her story of working for 18 years as a nurse and how she brought her clinical expertise and triage skills into her life coaching practice. She talks about how she empowers clients to thrive, not just survive, and find clarity in their lives. Mindset and Belief Systems: We talk about how the beliefs we hold, both conscious and unconscious, shape our reality. Jen’s story is a testament to the power of mindset work. Choosing Sobriety for Growth: Jen opens up about her decision to stop drinking, not because she had a severe problem, but because she felt alcohol was numbing her ability to face emotions and grow. She shares how this choice allowed her to step into her best self, deepening her relationships and self-awareness. Letting Go of Judgment: Jen and I discuss how freeing it is to let go of worrying about others' opinions. Jen shares how embracing this mindset has helped her show up more authentically in social situations. Facing Discomfort Head-On: We talk about the power of looking inward when facing discomfort, rather than turning to numbing behaviors like overeating, shopping, or over-consuming media. Embracing Self-Awareness and Compassion: We dive into how these two elements can help us identify unhelpful patterns and create lasting change. Jen emphasizes the importance of feeling emotions fully, which, while challenging, helps them pass more quickly and facilitates growth. Grieving Through Change: We discuss why even positive changes come with a sense of loss and why acknowledging that grief is essential to personal transformation. Self-Awareness is Key: Understanding your thoughts and beliefs can lead to powerful life shifts. Sobriety as a Mindset Shift: Letting go of habits that don’t serve us can open doors to greater self-discovery. Authenticity Without Judgment: Releasing the fear of others’ opinions can help you live more freely and connect more deeply. Embracing Discomfort: Growth happens when we face our fears and sit with our feelings, no matter how uncomfortable. Mindful Living and Compassion: Cultivating these practices can lead to more intentional and fulfilling experiences. Jen Evans is a Certified Life Coach and Registered Nurse with 18 years of clinical nursing experience. Jen combines her deep understanding of human connection and triage skills to provide personalized 1:1 coaching where clients feel truly seen and empowered. Specializing in mindset coaching, she believes in using the power of belief to help people design a life they love. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or seeking change, Jen guides you in cultivating calm, confidence, and clarity to navigate life's ever-changing landscape.

    E82 How Service Leads to Purpose and Living Your Dharma

    Hello My Friends! Welcome back to another minisode of Mom on the Verge. This week, I'm diving into the profound connection between discovering your purpose, known as Dharma, and the transformative power of service. As we head into the busy holiday season, it's a perfect time to reflect on the importance of giving—not just for others, but for ourselves. Service is a portal to experiencing deeper feelings of joy, gratitude, and love. When we embrace our authentic selves and serve in alignment with our soul’s purpose, we uplift our lives and the world around us. In this episode, I share practical steps for uncovering your Dharma, including essential questions like: Who do I want to serve? How do I want to serve? and How do I want the people I serve to feel? I also discuss letting go of external influences—from cultural norms to societal expectations—to truly align with your inner calling. I explore how expressing your Dharma can take many forms: educating, caretaking, advocating for causes you’re passionate about, or nurturing conscious communities. Whether it’s helping at a nonprofit, caring for animals, or supporting environmental efforts, the ways to serve and fulfill your purpose are endless. I also offer insights into why service isn't just a selfless act but a source of personal fulfillment. When we step into our Dharma, we open ourselves to authentic expression, internal peace, and a deep sense of satisfaction. I encourage you to take some time this week to think about your passions and how they can serve the world around you.

    E80 Embracing the Dark Night of the Soul: Finding Your Purpose and Inner Peace

    In this episode of Mom on the Verge, I open up about a deeply personal topic: the dark night of the soul. This powerful period of intense difficulty and disillusionment can serve as a catalyst for profound transformation. I shared my own journey of facing this when I developed chronic migraines, which forced me to confront my identity, beliefs, and purpose. This life-altering experience taught me that dark nights are not just struggles but opportunities for growth, shedding old attachments, and shifting perspectives. Understanding the Dark Night of the Soul: This is a period marked by significant loss, confusion, or grief that challenges our deepest beliefs and helps us transform. Personal Experience: I shared how my journey through chronic migraines reshaped my path and inspired me to become a coach dedicated to guiding others through their own dark nights. The Role of Dharma: I discussed Dharma, our soul’s purpose, and how life’s challenges, including these dark nights, are designed to help us align with it. These experiences are meant to foster personal growth so we can positively impact the world in our unique way. Reflection and Lessons: I encouraged listeners to reflect on their own challenging experiences and uncover the lessons they brought, using these insights to align with their soul's calling and find deeper inner peace and freedom. If you've ever experienced a period of deep loss, confusion, or burnout, this episode offers perspective and hope. Discover how these moments, while difficult, can lead to an awakening that redefines your purpose and helps you contribute to the world in a meaningful way.
