E195 Align Your Life: The Secret to Happiness with Jennifer Kenney-Smith

Jennifer Kenney-Smith is Certified Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner and a Life coach. She helps women who feel unfulfilled ignite their fire, reconnect to their power & embody their greatness.In this episode:Jennifer explains that alignment is all about listening to your body’s “hell yes” or “hell no.” When we ignore what feels good, stress and misalignment show up as overwhelm, exhaustion, and even physical illness.She talks about how stress literally stays in the body—Ayurveda calls it "Ama," or undigested emotions. When we don’t process stress, it leads to inflammation, which is the root of most diseases.Jennifer shares that true alignment isn’t about pushing or doing more—it’s actually about slowing down, being still, and reconnecting with yourself instead of chasing validation outside of you.She explains that simple practices like taking a walk in nature, journaling, or just looking at yourself in the mirror with kindness can help you reconnect and start creating a happier life.Jennifer shares how sleep is a huge key to alignment. It’s not just about getting hours in, but creating a ritual—eating earlier, turning off screens, and letting your body fully rest and detox overnight.She talks about starting the day with purpose—breathwork, movement, meditation, and even just stepping outside for sunlight can shift your entire energy for the day.She encourages checking in with yourself daily. Ask: “How do I feel?” and “What do I need?”—then actually honor the answer, whether it’s water, movement, or simply a break.She offers a free daily checklist - just go to her website:  Click HereContacting Jennifer:https://www.jksyoga.com/On Social:https://www.jksyoga.com/https://www.instagram.com/jksyoga_coaching/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferkenneysmith/https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.kenneysmith******No time for self care?You're not alone, and there's a solution! I'm excited to share with you my free download -  Your Easy Self Care Action Plan Click HereNote: Just a reminder that this information presented here is for informational purposes only and not intended to replace professional help.
