Summary

We’re back with another in our Share the Chair series as we reunite with our good friend, the resilient Jen Phillips (and when we say resilient we are NOT kidding). Jen joined us in Fall 2024 just days before she would find herself in the wrath of Hurricane Helene, which would ultimately devastate her business and community in Asheville, North Carolina. After managing to rebuild her business in ... wait for it ... 60 DAYS (yes, really), then dedicating several months of her time volunteering with hurricane recovery efforts, the experience unexpectedly helped sharpen her focus to continue to find ways to create healthy workplaces AND ways of working. Listen in as she discusses the importance not only of resilience, but the power of community, connection and her new venture, The New Ambition, which is aimed at transforming workplace environments to be healthier and more supportive. Discover how being literally in the eye of a hurricane helped Jen further shape her mission to drive positive change and create cycles of good in both our lives AND at work. Show Notes - Key links for Jen are as follows: Her new venture is called The New Ambition (Website: JoinTheNewAmbition.co || YouTube: @ThisIsTheNewAmbition - NOTE: This is where Jen has now moved all of what were her The Podgress Report podcast episodes). - Her (rebuilt) non-alcoholic bottle shop in Asheville, North Carolina (Website: HeyNØLO.com || Instagram: @hey_nolo). - Previous episode mentions: Episode 52: Share the Chair - Jen Phillips (From Burnout to Burning Bright); Episode 45: Just Walk in that Direction (NOTE: This episode was inspired by the Jen’s podcast episode, Recipe for Reinvention: Chef Lisa Brooks’ Journey from Burnout to Thriving).
