Ever felt like you're juggling too many roles and dropping all the balls? Jen, a mother of six and a Women's Happiness Expert, knows that feeling all too well. After earning her Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies, Jen found herself drowning in the pursuit of being the 'Pinterest Perfect Mom'.

In this episode of 'Birds In A Tree', Jen shares her inspiring journey from exhaustion to joy, offering practical advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's demands.

Now, as the host of the 'Vibrant Happy Women' podcast, Jen helps other women find their own paths to happiness. Her story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to make a change.
