21.01.2022 I was in China when the pandemic broke out & now that I’m experiencing the breakout again here in Aus.. I’ve been reminded that our future is not guaranteed I’ve lived with an illusion thinking tomorrow will always come around & life as it is will never deviate from the norm... So that means... I can postpone my dreams... I’ll do that thing someday... I’ll pursue my real interests when XYZ is dealt with... when all my ducks are in line More than anything, this crisis has given me a sense of urgency to do the things I’ve always wanted to do NOW Because we don’t have the luxury of later I encourage you to use this time of isolation to explore the creative pursuits you postponed for ‘some day’ Some day is not guaranteed so... Start that YouTube channel Record that music cover Pick up your paint brush again Start streaming that game Whatever it is, I encourage you to rekindle the passions you were always too afraid to fathom What are you thinking of picking up again? Mine would be piano & finishing the 10+ books I’ve started & of course making more videos See more

19.01.2022 Why u should stop finding your passion! Wait Jenny, what? Come again? Isn’t your entire message predicated on pursuing your PASSION?!... Yes I made it my life’s mission to find my ONE passion & that’s how I’ve had it wrong this whole time! I was searching for this ONE passion that in my mind would be an unending source of fulfilment unlock success unlock happiness help me realise my life’s potential Thinking: Is it singing? Is it photography? Is it law? Is it marketing? Feeling lost & behind in life when none of the above fit the perfect image of what a ‘PASSION’ should be & do for me in my life. SO INSTEAD I stopped chasing ‘passion’ Chose to BE PASSIONATE, injecting passion into whatever it is I do I became multi-passionate Stopped beating myself up over not having ONE PASSION I stopped letting my ‘PASSION’ or career define me Chose to liberate my identity embracing me as SO MUCH MORE than my passion/career If this if you I want to empower you and give you permission to stop feeling left out of this ‘PASSION’ hype Watch my full spiel here on this topic: https://youtu.be/C4KMUXDxQ4I

16.01.2022 ‘Uni will be the best time of your life’ I was hyped up for the uni life & told this would be the best time of my life, the peak of my youth. So was it? Yes & no...... I had an expectation of growing into adulthood, having a solid sense of the world, surrounded by friends & to be burning with an undying optimism for life & my future. YET Uni was at times the loneliest & most lost I’ve ever felt. I was looking for that ‘college experience’ I saw in American movies (crazy parties, campus activities, the best work life balance ) YET I ended up trading my social life in to work full time whilst studying full time, making questionable decisions after one too many drinks to offset the stress & chucking more all nighters than I want to admit... I set the wrong expectations for uni & took most of these years for granted: I had my first heartbreak here I fell in love for the first time here I’ve travelled more than I’d ever imagined I would I’ve made a total of 2 lifelong girlfriends here who I know will be my bridesmaids (I realised that’s all I need) & I started to pursue my dreams here. When I look back, I realise it’s been a matter of perspective. So yes uni CAN be the best time of your life & so can ANY stage of your life.. it really is what you make of it.

12.01.2022 I convinced myself multiple times for years to NOT start my channel... I thought about it for years & would tell myself every year 'Right. This is the year I'll be starting my YouTube channel.' but I never get around to it. I was paralysed with fear thinking: I don't look good enough... ... What would my friends & family say? YouTube is too saturated... Everything's already been done... This video is me showing you how I overcame these fears. I wanna know what holds you back because trust me I have 100 more to add to this list https://youtu.be/JwrdZGZiBo0
