E38: Party Girls, Trauma, Sobriety and Following the Nudges With Jenny Fenig She's Got This

    • Entrepreneurship

I had a wide-ranging and juicy convo with my long time friend and entrepreneur, Jenny Fenig, on this episode of the podcast.
 
Jenny and I go way back. We met at an Ali Brown event in 2010 and became fast friends. We've come up in this online marketing game together and have seen A LOT! 
 
Because of our connection, we were able to go deep in this episode and did not hold back. If you're into behind the scenes details of the good, bad and ugly of entrepreneurship, this one's for you.
 
After an intense decade in New York City elevating the visibility and message of the biggest brands and thought leaders in the world, she realized the path she was on wasn’t for her. She quit her 6-figure job, had a short stint as a yoga teacher, then founded her transformational coaching company to help women design a new way of working and earning by building their own brand.
 
Having three kids, a husband with a career he’s passionate about, and moving to a small town in the mountains has fueled her commitment to building a freedom-based business – and helping her clients do the same.
 
In this episode with Jenny you'll discover:
 
*  How so much of her life, personal growth and business has been influenced by the tragic loss of her younger sister when Jenny was 16
* Her move from small town Florida to the Big Apple to pursue a career in PR and the work hard, play hard culture that came with it 
* How she started developing her relationship with her inner voice and learned not to ignore it 
* Her leaving her PR career to produce conferences and how it seemed "nuts" at the time
* Dabbling with recreational drugs and drinking to "numb out" and how that influenced her journey - and her subsequent sobriety
* What it was like to work up the courage to leave her cushy 6-figure job (in a toxic environment) to become a yoga teacher and then a coach 
* Our shared experience with EMDR as a modality in therapy to deal with trauma
* How stuff "got kicked up" when she became a parent and how she dealt with the guilt and shame she'd never unpacked previously
* Dealing with the noise online and learning not to compare yourself with everyone else 
* How she dealt with the ultimate curveball that led her to home schooling her 3 kids while also being a full time business owner 
* Getting balance back when she realized she was more consumed with the marketing part of business than the actual work
* Becoming a master of your time and energy, and knowing when to surrender
