045. Your Blue Flame: Drop the Guilt and Do What Makes You Come Alive with Jen Fulwiler

“The mess and the chaos is always going to be there and the trick isn’t to wait for that moment when that’s not there so that you can finally be satisfied, but to be satisfied even when you hear the cat throw up in the other room, you still smile and you still say ‘yes, this is where I’m meant to be.’ I really think that’s the root of purpose and satisfaction.” Jennifer Fulwiler is with us today to discuss her new book Your Blue Flame: Drop the Guilt and Do What Makes You Come Alive. Jen is incredible. Her book is incredible. Our conversation lit me up…we talked all things blue flame, what it’s like to be a stand-up comedian, our quests for satisfaction & purpose as moms & women, how we “do it all,” shame, humility, how our strengths and weaknesses are one and the same, and the part that interested me most, Jen’s ideas about the ideal “tempo of life.” Tune in to hear more and be inspired by the vibrant Jen Fulwiler! Jen’s Bio: Jennifer Fulwiler is a standup comic, and former host of a daily talk show on SiriusXM, and mom of six kids. She’s here to talk about her new book Your Blue Flame(which I devoured in two days)…she is also the author of the bestselling memoirs Something Other than God (which I want to read next) and One Beautiful Dream. After being told that there wasn’t an audience for standup comedy done by a minivan-driving woman from the suburbs, she self-produced her own tour, which is selling out venues across the country.
