Bringing the Joy with Jessica Janzen: How to Lean into Life’s Nudges, Learn from Pain and Rise up to Your Life’s Purpose…One Dance Party at a Time
Episode 21: Show Notes.
On today’s show, I spoke to the very inspiring Jessica Janzen, author, speaker, coach, and founder of the Love for Lewiston Foundation and apparel company; The Lewiston Label Inc. When Jessica’s second child Lewiston was just two and a half months old, he was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and given less than a year to live. Sadly, her dreams of proving the doctors wrong did not come true. While many people let such tragedies destroy them, Jessica found a way to push through the pain, show up, and dance her way through some of the biggest heartbreaks any person can face. Today, she gives us some advice on how we too can cope with life’s challenges. She discusses how life is 50 / 50: “Fifty percent awesome, 50 percent shitty,” and how to find skills to power through the tough stuff. She discusses the course she’s created to empower people to be present, show up and move forward. She also talks about her new book Bring the Joy: How Following the Nudges of Your Heart Leads to an Abundant Life, as well as the success of her foundation, and even her ongoing attempts to contact Justin Timberlake. Equal parts heartbreaking and humorously inspiring, you won’t want to miss this episode!

“We ended up shifting our perspective and making a stake in the sand, and said, ’Whatever we do, we are going to fight with Lewiston on his fight and we will bring the joy to his life, whether it be until he’s 80 or if it’s just until he’s six months.’” — @jsjanzen [0:05:40]
