She guides “impatiently restless” folks who are done waiting for someday to define success, take courageous action, and build the life/legacy they want—fast.Episode summary: Feeling “too much” and “not enough” at the same time. Wearing ten different identities—and losing track of the real you. Jen and Andrea go deep on why authentic visibility is non-negotiable for coaches, healers, and heart-centered entrepreneurs (in a saturated, more-savvy market), and how to find the version of you that’s worth turning the volume up on. Jen shares her 80-year-old future-self method, worthiness work, and why small, bold external choices (pink hair, fuchsia Docs) often reflect big internal alignment.You’ll learn:Why buyers are more discerning—and how authenticity cuts through.The “death by a thousand paper cuts” messages (“too much / not enough”) that shut us down.Jen’s Future Self at 80 exercise to reverse-engineer who you want to be—starting today.How external cues (style/brand) can anchor internal identity and consistent showing up.Moving from hiding to worthy of being heard—without over-performing confidence.Practical ways to be visible that match your energy (not just one channel).Try this today:Write a quick snapshot of your 80-year-old self living a life you’re proud of. Identify 3 qualities she embodies. Choose one tiny action you can take today that expresses one of those qualities (how you post, what you wear on camera, what you say “no” to).Connect with Jen Vertanen: Website: bedarecreate.comFacebook: facebook.com/jennifervertanenInstagram: instagram.com/jenvertanenLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jenvertanenYouTube: youtube.com/jenvertanenConnect With Andrea Stenbergwebsite: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneur
