“Glowing in the dark is the work of being a patient warrior for our gifts. Our light is the medicine our aching planet needs.” KC flips the traditional leadership script, giving us permission to pause, chill, breathe, and shine.

**What makes you come alive? More specifically, how do you *uniquely* *exert effort*—for no other reason than the way it makes you feel?** as Jonathan shares in his new book, [Sparked](https://amzn.to/3BS9hBj), we’re all born with a certain “imprint” for work that makes us come alive.

In addition to being the author of Financial Intimacy: How to Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Money and Your Mate, Jacquette is the creator of programs like The Comfort Circle™ dinner series, her quarterly Pricing Made Human™ workshop, and host of the More Than Money podcast.

**How on earth can you justify a luxurious hotel stay in your own city?** If you enter it with intention and clear outcomes, the real question becomes how can you *not*?

The truth is, even if all you did was rest and recharge, that would be a priceless "win" enough. But workcations can also be super powerful for shifting your energy, harnessing focus and flow, and generating your best work.

In this solo episode—recorded in a hotel room, where else?!—I'm sharing my thought-process for why these staycations have been so helpful for my most important projects (except for scheduling a batch of podcast interviews on a day when it turns out there's a jackhammer next door to my room).

In this inaugural episode I’m sharing what inspired me to start this show, how I’m handling the Imposter Monster sitting right next to me, and what’s next for Jenny Blake Enterprises. A pivot for Pivot, if you will :)
