Episode Highlights
Jen’s Pandemic Experience
●Jen is still figuring things out in 2021, but she’s had many silver linings, too.
●Being intentional about slowing down has been a gift to her during the pandemic, making her feel empowered.
●The pandemic has been an existential opportunity for her.
Honoring Your Feelings
●Your experience is yours regardless of what’s happening to others.
●As a human being, you’ll have challenges and you don’t need to discredit any negative feelings.
●It’s important to be aware and grateful for your blessings.
Making New Habits Stick
●She did a 21-day course in the book, but the more she did research and paid attention to her own life and habits, she realized that there’s no specific amount of time to make new habits stick.
●It took her several tries to quit smoking until she finally did.
●Chunking things down into bite-sized actions makes it easier.
The Importance of Boundaries
●Not having good boundaries is exhausting because you end up doing stuff you don’t want to do, which builds up resentment.
●Healthy, clear boundaries are a gift to everyone.
●Shifting to a perception of a healthy boundary as something positive is the first step.
Setting Boundaries in Social Media
●She didn’t grow up with social media so she’s not as invested in it.
●Just like any other boundary or habit, specifics are the key to freedom.
●Don’t dwell too much on the negative stuff because people’s opinions and reactions about you are really about themselves.
Minimizing Social Media Use
●Strictly set up times when you’re allowed to look at your phone.
●Intentionally doing something helps break the initial habit.
●Our gadgets are always interrupting us and stopping us from cherishing moments where we’re able to be with others.
Staying Present
●Being present for anybody is definitely a challenge because we’re all busy, but it all boils down to intention.
●Just do your best and try not to beat yourself up.
●Writing notes to yourself, using visual cues, and taking a deep breath is helpful.
How People Pleasers Can Set Boundaries
●In every single to-do list, consider if it brings you joy or if you want to do it.
●Connect with your feelings.
●You’re not serving anyone if you’re doing something you don’t want to do, especially if it’s just to please people.
Jen’s Creativity and Mental Well-being
●Jen loves moving and new experiences.
●She’s lived in big cities a lot and she loves that energy, but she also loves hiking and nature so she loved living in the city and vacationing in nature.
●The pandemic impacted her creativity and well-being because she needs the vibrancy and energy of a city and she needs to travel.
How Jen Feels About Her Book
●Jen is proud of having the discipline to write something because writing is a challenge.
●She’s not particularly proud of her book’s success and while she thinks she did a good job on her book, she believes it’s mostly awesome timing.
5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode
[5:43] “You’re still a human being, and you still have your challenges and your highs and your lows and all that. So it doesn’t mean every time you have a “negative feeling” or “thought”, you need to discredit it because you are so charmed.”

[8:08] “Whatever your habit is, if you just take it one little piece at a time, instead of overwhelming yourself with how long it’s going to take and or how much you have to do, you’ll be so much more successful.”

[19:27] “... it’s so rare, especially now that you get one on one with people or you’re in a room with another human and I want to cherish that, you know, togetherness and not be always over here [on my phone].”

[21:18] “... staying present for anybody is really a challenge because we are all being pulled in so many directions. And again, it’s just that intention, you know, and just doing your best with it and not beating yourself up.”

[23:02] “... you’re not serving them if you’re doing it and you do not want to do it. And if you’re doing it just to please them and be liked, that’s not a good reason.”

Episode Highlights
When Someone Says ‘You Need to Calm Down’
●It’s easy to get even more inflamed when someone tells you to calm down.
●However, what that often means is they are the ones who need to calm down. They don’t know how to handle your energy, so they’re crying out for help.
●Instead of saying ‘I can see you’re upset’ or ‘You need to calm down,’ it’s better to say ‘I hear you, I can feel how upset you are, so I’m going to take a step back.’
●This statement is more empathetic and allows you to neutralize a heated situation.
Ferocious Courage to Tell the Truth
●Jacqui’s book is subtitled: ‘A bold path to ferocious courage and rule-breaking kindness that can heal the world.’
●She came up with this statement, after realizing how ferociously courageous it was to tell the truth about herself and confront her story.
●This ferocious courage to tell the truth transcends into rule-breaking kindness.
How to Confront Someone with Your Truth
●If we want to tell the truth and have it go well, we’ll have to wire ourselves with ‘I’ statements.
●Our feelings are facts. So, no one’s going to be defensive about your feelings.
●Also, you have to let go of the outcome after you tell the truth. You can’t manage how others will react—you can only handle your dynamics.
Modelling Truth-Telling
●Jacqui envisions a world where we raise children to be truth warriors.
●It’s hard to tell the truth, but it’s necessary to prevent violence.
Hard and Fierce Love
●This type of love takes risks and makes your head hurt.
●It applies to having tough but necessary conversations.
●When we fiercely love ourselves, we are less brittle, competitive, and jealous.
Practicing Fierce Love Even Amidst Grief
●We are at a time where to be human in the world is to be in a state of grief.
●Grief causes us to be angry, sad, or brittle. We tend to do things we don’t normally do when we are grieving.
●So, we should exercise a bit more compassion and a bit less judgment towards ourselves and others.
Being Curious About Others’ Truths
●Every person in the world has their own interior life that you’re simply bumping into. Their experience is likely not about you, but it’s real for them.
●So, it’s crucial not to dismiss their truths, but to explore them.
●We’re on our separate journeys, and the person you’re interacting with may not be at the same place as you.
●What’s important is to keep modeling the behavior you hope for.
Dealing with Resentment
●Resentment stems from the gap between what you hope for and what is.
●The best way to fill this gap is self-love.
●If we exercise our self-love muscles, we can be there for ourselves when other people fail us.
How Dr. Jacqui Feels Radically Loved
●Dr. Jacqui feels radically loved by her source, God.
●She believes that God will never leave her, and she is peaceful that she has somebody with her all the time.
●She also emphasizes the radical love she feels from her family.
5 Powerful Quotes from this Episode
[3:24] “When we are in that threat place, that danger place, ‘Calm down’ inflames; ‘I can hear you, I can feel you, I can see you’ is empathy.”
[6:00] “Ferocious courage is to just show ourselves to each other, our needs, our wants, our desires, our fears, our dreams, our hopes, our passion, our sensuality.”
[13:09] “We can build bridges, we can create a deeper understanding by coming from a state of love and kindness.”
[22:59] “We just don't have to be so strung out about the other person's stuff, because it's their stuff, not yours.”
[30:44] “That's resentment: the gap between what I hoped for and what is. So how do you fill that gap?”
