ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
As I mentioned in last week’s episode, we’re kicking off this season by sharing a few of our favorite past episodes having to do with singleness, dating, and relationships. Today we’re sharing the conversation I had with my sweet friend, Jena Dunay, in episode number 75. At that time, she was Jena Viviano, but, a little spoiler alert, she ended up marrying the amazing guy she talks about in this episode, which is so fun!
Y’all Jena is incredible. She is the Chief Learning Officer for a wealth management firm and is just a total boss. She's also an alumni of my online course, Love Your Single Life!
A little while back, Jena and I were at lunch and we were talking about some of the things she learned along the way in her journey of singleness and dating, and I loved her heart and her perspective so much, I just knew we had to record another episode together. I’m not kidding when I say this is one of my favorite Girls Night episodes EVER!
One of my favorite takeaways from the episode is a story Jena shares about a time when she completely broke down at a thanksgiving breakfast from feeling defeated in her single life, an experience I think so many of us can relate to. But what really amazed me are the words her friend said to her a few days later that she’ll never forget and that I believe so many of us need to hear, too. Friend, if you can relate to feeling tired and discouraged and disappointed by your love life so far… this conversation is for you.
