What do you do when you find yourself sitting at the kitchen table wondering "what's next?"  When you know deep in your gut that whatever you're currently doing just isn't IT?

My guest Jenna Klopfenstein, host of the podcast Girl, Let's Be Real found herself asking just that at age 33.  Was she unhappy with her life at the time?  No she actually wasn't.  A former division 1 athlete, orthopedic physician assistant of 10 years, and college soccer coach she was actually living the dream.   Or what she thought was the dream. 

But her heart tugged her for other things.  So she decided to throw caution to the wind and follow her gut to see where the journey led her.

Tune in to hear:

• How and why she started a podcast
• What led to becoming a growth coach
• Why she feels in-person events are critical to your success as a woman
