Ep. 24: Jen Farley on living in harmony with life
Jen Farley was born to sing. Now she uses her voice to help others find their voice, including her son, who was diagnosed at age 3 with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Jen moved to Nashville for the music scene, but found the pressure to succeed took the joy out of the music. She focused on raising her son, who taught her to let go of expectations and live in the present. In doing so, she found the joy of music again and joined the trio Gin, Chocolate and Bottle Rockets. And, yes, she’s the bottle rockets.
As a life coach, Jen helps people discover and re-discover the rock star within so they can amplify their voice in the world. Jen also uses her voice to champion for her son so others will celebrate who he is in the world.
My take aways:
There’s a rock star in all of us.
In order to “feel all the feels, you need to feel all the bad stuff, too.”
Find your passion and be authentically who you are.
Women in Wisconsin carry gin and chocolate in their purses to get through the worst of winter.
Expectations = disappointment. Just be present and celebrate what is.
