Jennifer Faye Colombo is a watercolor artist living in Connecticut. Her intention is to give the viewer an opportunity to tune into calm, peace and joy through her various collections. Jen is super grateful to live near the water, her happy place that influences many of her paintings. In addition to painting, Jen creates journals and card decks to support others on their journey. A Pocket Full of Joy is one of her card decks created as reminders to find joy daily including the little moments.

Her Card Deck was written by accident after writing different affirmations and reminders for herself. If she needed the reminders to tap in and tune into joy daily, then others need that too. She always thought that JOY was the bigger thing in life, like our JOYFUL occasions but there are little things throughout the day that can bring us JOY and if we take a pause and start to notice them. Some examples: noticing the dew drops on the blade of grass or a delightful conversation can add up to big JOY moments!

You could just spend a few seconds to tap into JOY.

She loves sharing her paintings with others. Sharing her art with others is how she serves others in bringing JOY into their lives.

She creates general art and personal art for people. Her work has intentions behind it. Jen always asks her clients to set an intention with her of why they want her to work with them. Setting the intentions makes a deeper, more impactful feeling for those who view the art.

One general piece of art she shares with others are her ¨Joyful Bubble¨ paintings. She receives lots of comments on how happy they make people. It brings back memories of playing with bubbles and a reminder to tune into those bubbles of joy.

She is the conduit to pass that joyful energy onto the page. Her clients and her are co-creating together even though she is the one doing the artwork.

She also creates creative exploration with others. She gets them to tap into their own creative flow. It can be artwork, or setting intentions. People find it relaxing, fun, playful and JOYFUL! Creating SHOULD be fun!

Jen always creates for herself to help her move through emotions. It is for her own pure JOY and entertainment.

How else does Jen tap into JOY when she is not in that flow?

• She pulls from her own card deck
• Painting
• Going down to the beach
• Put on music
• Dance partners

Her last piece of advice:
¨Everyday be conscious of cultivating JOY in your life.¨
Ask the question:

What brings me JOY and can I do that today?

Such a powerful conversation with Jen!

I love our family dinners! This is the time for us to connect about our day, what is happening personally and to hold family meetings. Our favorite place to hold these meetings is at the dinner table.

This week we discuss our puppy, Pearl, who is getting into items that are left out, specifically food. We also discuss with the kids their future in their orchestra for the remainder of the school year, and finally how to make some changes in cleaning up things that do not get cleaned up regularly by ALL of us!

Why are we discussing all of this? So Mom does NOT have to keep nagging everyone about it. Yep, I do because clean up does not get done and violin practice is NOT happening consistently! We all know that nagging is a huge JOY CRUSHER! Who wants to be nagged? And who wants to nag?

You will hear how we navigate these topics with the kids and as a family, keeping the emotion low and the fun up all the while coming to some conclusions!

As always, we would love to hear what you took away from this episdoe, so reach out to me. (See below for ways to do that)

Finally, send this episode to ONE person you know would like this episode. We would be incredibly grateful!!

I love her take on PLAY and how important it is for adults to still PLAY. She also shares with us her ABC´s.

This episode is a wonderful conversation with Liz Carroll who shares her experience with JOY.
Liz Carroll is a life-long student and teacher of making mindful money moves. Originally believing she was "bad with money," Liz did the hardwork to rewrite her money story. She needed to drop limiting beliefs about how a woman can earn and manage money to set her up for financial success in a way she would commit to and follow. It worked. Liz attained financial independence and retired early from her corporate IT sales career.Now, in her encore career, Liz helps other women experience calm confidence with their finances by unpacking and shifting their own money story. She has the unique ability to shed light onto darkness around money,making complex personal finance issues simple. She created the Mindful Money Method, a financial wellness course and coaching program that utilizes a holistic approach to math, mindset and soul-guided desires. Liz is a Certified Financial Coach from Ramsey Solutions, a Certified Life Coach from The Life Coach School and a 200-RYT Yoga & Meditation Instructor from Purna Yoga College. She and her husband live on the Oregon Coast.Their adult children visit regularly.

Liz shares how she intentionally planned a "Year of Joy" trip for her 50th birthday. Yes, she preplanned her budget and started saving. Everything she did in her "Year of Joy" were experiences except for one item she purchased. We discuss the importance of how experiences can continue to bring JOY for a lifetime compared to material items. Plus we discuss that one doesn't need a lot of, or any money to create JOY. There are many "free" things that can be done that bring JOY.

We also talk about what Liz does, and how she helps other women create a more abundant and financially sound life.

Tune in and be ready for some great take-aways from Liz.
