    You are special. People can relate to you; that is why you are so successful. You are genuine.

    “Everything is figureoutable”. Love that! My husband is away on a sailing trip and last week the battery in my son’s car died, so I taught myself (with some help from RUclips) how to replace a dead car battery. Indeed “everything is figureoutable”!……and I’m going to steal that phrase going forward! Thank you ma’am!

    “The nervous breakdown that I deserved”. That had me laughing so hard. You really are a word smith. ❤

      In full transparency it's a line from a movie with Julia Roberts and she said it and it stuck. I use it often. LOL (it was called Let's Give Them Something To Talk About and wasn't that great of a movie but that WAS a great line)

    Been here since almost the beginning, and loved watching the channel (s) grow and insight into your life, projects, travels and sometimes struggles. Your life lessons, have taught us all something and I want Everything is figureoutable to be my new motto. Congratulations on everything so far. Can't wait to see what the next few years brings you.

    I always suspected you had fine arts training! (Re theatre background)
    You should be so proud of the business you’ve built from the ground up here on YT and also and maybe even more so the wonderful community that we all get to enjoy by you being here and having a platform. You are so awesome. And brave. And fun. ❤

    This is so timely, that you’ve posted this today. I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years, and have taken inspiration from you multiple times, and it has just happened again today. Thank you, Jen. 😊
    Last week I made the decision to start posting some videos on my channel. It is VERY early days and I’m still finding my feet, but it is SO much fun!
    I am in my late 40s and am very excited about where this may lead… ❤

    The first time I found you, my daughter and I was
    planning a Viking Tour. I saw you and your mother headed out on your journey. I had no idea it had been five years ago. You have grown! Sure your channel has grown, but you are amazing. Congratulations!

    You are certainly not alone! I also left the corporate world years ago so I could raise my special needs child. I could've stayed working a stressful job and paid someone else to take care of my kids, but I wanted to raise them myself! I also took care of my mom for many years, and being able to juggle that with taking care of my own family was quite a challenge. Know that you are doing an amazing job running your own business and caring for your family. Thank you so much for sharing with us! I've been having fun dabbling with my own channel as a creative outlet. Sometimes, you just have to do what makes you happy, right?

    Love this for you. I watch so much RUclips I start thinking i'd like to do it, but with 2 small kids I don't want to put online (and some other family responsibilities) I don't realistically have the time. Thanks for being realistic about what a commitment it is .

    • @JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge

      I think the reason most people start and don’t end up continuing is because they underestimate the work involved. Totally get that. And thank you for being so supportive!!!

    Hi Jen. Several years ago, I completed a e-learning certificate to learn how to create an e-course. As for RUclips, I'm not comfortable putting my face on camera.
    Grateful that you took the leap of faith. Enjoy the content that I watch.

    So glad you posted this video. I needed some inspiration today. I’ve been looking to change careers for about a year with no luck. RUclips is not for me, but your words still inspire me to keep pushing for something better.

    Well I’m glad are on RUclips because I enjoy your personality and content very much. I found you through Adam and I’m glad I did.
    Love your hair with your loose curls in this vlog. Xx

      Oh thank you, Lisa! I tried very hard to make the course I wish I’d had so that’s my hope!

    The best of luck to you with this new adventure. Boy you are tempting me on doing something on RUclips of our travels. As a matter of fact we start our around the world trip soon for 52 days. Take care and God bless.

    Jen, I can completely agree with your decision to leave Corporate America. You have passion. You have a sparkling personality. You are driven and we see it all through your weekly (or daily ....ie. Christmas) content. I, too, left the Corporate world after being an Area HR Manager covering 4 states and 1,400 EE's. I loved my job but it beat me down. I retired a few years early so that I can help my daughter and son in-law with watching my little Granddaughter who is now 3. She's been my beam of light since she was born! I made the right decision. ❤

      Why the sad emoji? Why would seeing a woman be successful and share her experience and advice make you sad? Strange reaction. If the course doesn't speak to you, that's fine. You can still support Jen by watching her videos while acknowledging her right to continue her success and make a living at it.
