On this week’s GoalChatLive, Jennifer Ballard, Jenny Calcoen, and M.J. Fievre shared their Life Implosions, and how they got – and get – through challenging times. They also talked about life explosions; good things that came their way. Jen is founder of Joy Scoutz Gen-Xer Adventure Club; Jenny is CEO + Founder of Inner Earthquake™, and M.J. Fievre is author of the Badass Black Girl series, among other titles.
When facing change, by choice or circumstance, best to pause, take a breath, and embrace it, so you can come out the other side. Jen, Jenny, and M.J. shared recommendations for coping with whatever life throws your way, tips for setting boundaries, goals for self care, and more.
What Counts as a Life Implosion
- MJ: A situation that brings you more stress than you think you can endure
- Jenny: It could be minor for one person and major for another. It’s something that shakes up your insides, it impacts your identity
- Jen: It’s about the loss of control, a major life event, uncertainty, fear
How to Deal With Them
- Jenny: Approach with curiosity
- MJ: Figure out what you can and can’t control
- Jen: Look at the big picture
