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...

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...

Summer is here, and with it comes a lot of fun (hopefully!)—and often a shift in our schedules and routines.

#332: Thinking Forward
Get Lively with Jan
I guess it’s fitting that 10 years into Get Lively, I’m podcasting about something that I chat about often… how I often struggle replaying useless stories over and over in my head. The second guessing, the fear, and blah, blah, blah. In my latest loop with these doubts and fears, I was able to hit the internal pause button and say: Jan, you are doing it again. You know this doesn’t help you at ALL, so what’s a better thing to do right now? And it came to me: THINK FORWARD. Listen to this episode as I explain further. There are so many ways to GET LIVELY.
