Meant for More

10 Questions you asked and I answered! From Business to Parenting to a little about yours truly! Thanks for listening! If you have more questions send to: [email protected] or go to Janellelien.com 😀

This week's episode is an upclose and personal look at the current case of loneliness I've been fighting with since being home full time. Not to be confused with being ungrateful for the incredible opportunity I have been given. However going from a very social job to Self Employment has been a HUGE shift in more ways than expected. Dig in! See ya next week pal!

From Crazy town to... well Who knows!

This little quickie is just me sharing with you my mental health metaphor. 

I use this as a tool to remind myself how far I've come and the road I have ahead of me.

Visualization has been a large part of my healing and understanding and I thought I'd share my method :)

Ciao,

There I was in the midst of a pandemic having just been laid off for two months thinking I was going back to work in the same role I was in when the world flipped upside down. To then realizing nothing was going back to normal. For what should have and would have normally destroyed me - actually turned out to be a blessing. So this episode is about choosing gratitude when you feel like you have nothing to be grateful for.

Well! Time to have 'the talk'...

It's going to be uncomfortable and they'll be all sorts of emotions and thoughts flyin' around! But it's time to get down to the nitty gritty and think of what's at stake here. Our future, and our children's future, and their children's future! 

No no, not THAT  'talk'. The other one, the money talk. YIKES - who's anxiety just went #@$%&*! 

Finances are really hard to manage when we don't talk or think about them. Like pretty much impossible to manage if we don't talk or think about them. But that discussion with yourself, your partner, or a financial professional is pretty awful. Especially when you've made as many bad calls as I have with my finances. Having to face the consequences of habitual spending, over spending, over financing, living beyond your means... 

I swear I should have had that tattooed on me "Too Busy Living Beyond My Means" haha Such an inspiration! 

BUT - I'm not ashamed of it. I needed to experience these things in order to learn what I know now and actually WANT to make changes.

This episode is a collection of my own experience with Mom Brain, being a plus size Momma, The importance of Self Care and How I got the help I needed from a doctor who thought my only problem was my BMI.

It's a run around and a bit of a mess - but so am I and so is motherhood.

Full discloser for those easily triggered: I speak about my fear and anxiety around miscarriage due to the fact I am overweight, as well as shed some light on getting help for my mental health. I understand these topics are tough to talk about for some and wanted to give ya the heads up.

Cheers and Enjoy!

On this episode I talk decision making. The How and Why we make certain decisions based on our instincts!

This is something I have learned the hard way, many many times. But I'm still here! Learning why I am the way I am haha

I hope you all have had a great start to 2021!

Any kind of Mommin' aint for the weak - that's for sure! Life came together in the most beautiful way and gave me a son born straight from the heart. Learning a different type of love and care for one of THE coolest kids I know has been a highlight of my life so far. And with each moment spent together, it just gets better. When families can come together with only good intentions in creating two loving homes and one united family - incredible things happen. It's not always sunshine & rainbows, because honestly.. when is it? But we choose to learn & grow together! Ok ok, I'll step down from my soapbox... Ha ha In this episode I share my experience with being a step mom. There is no secret remedy or perfect way to step into this role. There is just choosing to show up with good intentions and a whole lotta love to give. I tried to edit out as many sniffles and me trying to keep it the fuck together - but if you know me at all, you know that's not always an easy task. HA!

In this weeks episode I busted out the ol' pen and paper and wrote myself a couple letters. One to the person I am now, and another to the person I used to be. I hope this episode reaches others who are in that awkward period of life where you have a ton of growing up to do, but don't know where to start! That was me at 21 years young!

I'm not here to preach perfection - I still have a long ass way to go! But, daaaamn have I come a long way already! If you knew me at 21ish, No you didn't haha.

ANYWAYS, This is a glimpse of the type of manifestation we all need in our lives. If you could tell your past self anything, what would it be?

This Episode is FIRE - No Really. Okay I'm done with the jokes, Maybe. Doubt it.

It was August 20th, 2015 when I got the call from my then Boyfriend, Now Husband that our home burnt down to the ground with our two dogs inside. In this episode I talk about the events of that day and then answer some of the questions I received on IG (@meant4morepodcast).

This is the way I chose to cope with our loss. We all heal in different ways. I think what is most important for me to get across is that Life is incredibly uncertain. And even when you think you've got it all figured out, a new adventure can start tomorrow.

Life is NOT always rainbows and frickin' sunshine - but it's how we choose to weather the storm and... put out the fires that come our way. LOL

Okay, I'm done! Enjoy!
