Hustle Hack: If everything is off the table, and everything is off kilter (as so much has been this last year) everything really is up for grabs. You can change what you do, how you work, how many hours you work, your clients. This time of upheaval is a perfect time to question all of our assumptions. What wasn’t working before the pandemic? What hasn't’ worked during the pandemic? What can you change? Why not change it? Like Jenny said, “At least ask the questions, even if you don’t have the answer yet.”

Moment of Grace: I’m so curious to know--What do you feel relieved about due to the pandemic? Maybe you lost a client. Or Maybe you had fewer social engagements, fewer choices, etc. Maybe you’ve diversified your streams of income less even though it wasn’t the original plan but you’ve realized these changes that you didn’t ask for have actually left you lighter--in a good way. What else needs to change or be simplified to make your journey lighter? I love Jenny’s mantra “let it be easy. Let it be fun.” How can you implement that in your own life?
