Chasing Sunshine with Jennifer Haas: Gratitude, Dreams & Starting Again

 “Chasing Sunshine with Jennifer Haas: Gratitude, Dreams & Starting Again”We are kicking off our very first episode of 2026 with a conversation that feels exactly right for a fresh new year. If you’ve been craving a reset that doesn’t involve resolutions, perfection, or starting over by February… this one’s for you.This week on Bronze Medal Moms, Amy and Amanda sit down with someone who embodies the heart of this podcast: giving yourself grace, finding purpose in the chaos, and celebrating the small wins that make motherhood feel a little lighter.Our guest, Jennifer Haas, is a former teacher turned nonprofit founder, yoga instructor, speaker, and now author of the brand-new gratitude journal Chasing Sunshine. Born from her own journey navigating a physical disability and learning to “do what you can, with what you have, in the moment you're in,” Jennifer has turned gratitude into her superpower — and a daily practice that carried her through some of her darkest seasons.In this grounding and inspiring New Year episode, we talk about: ✨ Why moms naturally slip into “lack thinking” — and how gratitude pulls us out ✨ How gratitude is NOT toxic positivity (you can be grateful and overwhelmed) ✨ Why it’s never too late to pivot — whether you're 25, 35, 45, or 65 ✨ The simple structure of her 90-day journal that even busy moms can actually stick toJennifer’s story is the perfect way to open the year — a reminder that beautiful things grow when we slow down, take inventory of the good, and give ourselves a little room to breathe.Grab your coffee, gut health drink, or something stronger if you’re listening after bedtime, and settle in for an episode that sets the tone for a grounded, intentional, joy-chasing 2026.Connect with Jennifer📘 Chasing Sunshine – Gratitude Journal - https://amzn.to/4snry3C 📸 Instagram: @IamChasingSunshine 🌼 Learn more about her nonprofit:  https://4allthepeople.org/ Links & Extras🛍 Bronze Medal Moms Merch: https://bronze-medal-moms.printify.me/ 🌐 Website: www.bronzemedalmoms.com 📸 Instagram: @bronzemedalmoms 📧 Email: [email protected] 👉 Contact Us: We love hearing from you!
