How I’m feeling grounded
Get Lively with Jan
This fall, many podcasts were about how I was trying to navigate through various life situations. From shifting into neutral to letting things go, I’m happy to share that I’ve landed in a place where I’m starting to feel more grounded. So… as I like to do, I gave it some thought and I’m sharing what I came up with on this week's show. Some of the questions that helped me think this through… Acknowledging a Shift: what had changed? What’s Contributing to This Feeling: what am I doing differently? Navigating Change: how am I adjusting or approaching what has changed? ...

A Thanksgiving Week Throwback
Get Lively with Jan
Since November is the month that I started podcasting way back in 2017, I thought I’d take a listen back to some of the shows that aired around this time many years ago. I landed on the year 2018 and the one year anniversary of the Get Lively with Jan Show. During this episode, I talk about “getting and grasping” and how we get pulled into that during the holiday season with all the shopping and sales. And since the theme still rings true, I thought it would be fun to do a throwback this week and air a replay. There are so many ways to GET LIVELY. We are a...

What does it mean to practice RADICAL acceptance?
Get Lively with Jan
Ever catch yourself saying, "I accept myself, but…”? That little "but" that sneaks in with doubts, judgments, and conditions—well, it’s a subtle way we hold ourselves back from fully embracing who we are right now. And I get it; I’m working on this, too. Radical acceptance is about saying, “I accept exactly who I am in this moment,” no conditions or caveats. There are so many ways to GET LIVELY.

How I’m Trying to Deal with Perimenopausal Chaos
Get Lively with Jan
Yes, we're back to this topic again. And the reason I keep talking about perimenopause and how it’s making me CRAZY is because this is such a hot topic at the studio and has been for many months. There are so many of us going through this life transition, and I want us all to feel less alone. First, I need to accept that this is a life phase that I’m going through (and as I say on this week’s show, I’m grateful in a way for it as it means I’ve gotten this far.) And second, many women - on the other side of it - describe that place as calm, grounded, and dare I say even...

Time to Shift into Neutral
Get Lively with Jan
Ever feel like you're stuck in the wrong gear, grinding away at life’s to-do lists, feeling overwhelmed by the news cycle, or battling those moments when resistance creeps in? I’ve definitely been there. It’s like driving a standard shift car—you’re in the wrong gear, things feel clunky, and you’re not getting anywhere fast. So, what do you do? You shift into neutral. This week, I'm talking about the power of pausing, letting go of the resistance, and giving yourself space to reset. There are so many ways to GET LIVELY.

Shifting Perspective in Moments of Frustration
Get Lively with Jan
We’ve all been there – something happens, and we immediately feel the heat - or hurt - rising within us. Maybe it’s a conversation that didn’t go as expected, or someone’s actions rub us the wrong way, leaving us feeling frustrated or even hurt. It’s in these moments that I’ve learned to pause and ask myself one powerful question: What is my most generous interpretation of this situation? In this week’s podcast episode, I’m exploring this practice and how it has helped me reframe challenging moments. If you find yourself reacting in frustration or anger, tune in to hear how...

The Weight of Change: Are We Looking at the Whole Picture?
Get Lively with Jan
Ever notice how when we're thinking about making a change—whether it’s something small, like switching up a routine, or something big, like a career shift—our brains go straight to what we might lose? But how often do we pause and really “weigh” what we might gain? I know I don’t always do this. So, here’s my challenge to all of us this week: When faced with a choice, let’s try to balance both sides of the scale. There are so many ways to GET LIVELY.

Get Lively with Jan
Labor Day has now come and gone and most of us are now looking at getting back to our routines… any virtual nods or hand raises?! So what does the Olympics have to do with this? Allow me to explain… For starters, I love the Olympics and really enjoyed watching them this summer and chatting about them at the studio. I’m a bit Simone obsessed… And that’s what inspired this week’s podcast and message. There are so many ways to GET LIVELY. We are a Lifestyle Studio on a mission to help YOU smile MORE.

Navigating the Maze of Perimenopause
Get Lively with Jan
Life is full of twists and turns, and for many of us, the journey through perimenopause and menopause can feel like an especially winding path. If you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed, or even lost in this stage of life, know that you’re not alone. In fact, I’m right there with you. I share on this week’s show that I feel like I’m in a complete state of identity confusion. I’ve had a hysterectomy, I’m on HRT, I’m in perimenopause, but I still seem to get PMS?!? I’m a confused mess! There are so many ways to GET LIVELY. We are a Lifestyle Studio on a mission...

#336: When you need to soften the edges
Get Lively with Jan
Hope you're all soaking up the summer sun and enjoying these long, warm (okay, almost too warm) days! As we move through this season, I wanted to take a moment to chat about the idea of "softening the edges" and embracing a bit of flexibility - this is what has been on my mind...
