    Jan 21 2026
    Gratitude, Perspective, and Intention: When Life Throws You CurveballsHave you ever felt like life threw you a curveball?In an ever-changing world, the ability to adapt and find joy amidst chaos is a vital skill. In the latest episode of Happiness On Tap, host Leann Herron engages in a powerful discussion with Jen Jaciw, a career ownership coach and a testament to resilience. Together, they explore the profound lessons learned from life's unexpected turns and the importance of rest and adaptability in personal and professional growth.Today’s conversation is one that I know will land deeply—especially if you’re someone who’s had your plans derailed, your body demands a pause, or your life takes a sharp turn you never saw coming.But what makes Jen’s voice especially powerful is the life she’s lived.She’s a domestic violence survivor, a child ofaddiction, and someone who consciously chose to shift from a victim mindset to a survivor—and now, a thriver. Over the last decade, she’s mentored small business owners, led networking organizations, and advocated for domestic violence resources, all while helping people design lives and careers they actually love.And then… life threw her some very real curveballs.In 2025, Jen experienced two major injuries that forced her to stop, surrender control, and redefine what strength, productivity, and success really look like.Today, we’re talking about the lessons she learned through gratitude, perspective, and intention—and why rest, adaptability, and asking for help may be some of the most powerful leadership skills we’re never taught.🕛Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Resilience and Joy02:12 Meet Jen Jaciw: A Journey of Transformation08:55 Facing Life’s Curveballs: Jen’s First Injury18:05 The Second Injury: Lessons in Vulnerability and Community28:20 Redefining Success and Productivity30:20 Lessons from Injury and Stillness34:39 The Importance of Intentional Living35:22 Finding Purpose in Forced Pauses45:38 Listening to Your Body and Embracing ChangeEpisode Resources: Guest:Jen JaciwThe Entrepreneur’s SourceJen Jaciw (sounds like "Jasseff") is a Career Ownership Coach, Consultant, Connector, and Speaker, dedicated to helping professionals take control of their futures.
