One Thing that Makes All Strong Women Strong with Jennifer Foxworthy

Live Like Your Nail Color Podcast with Mary Foley

What makes a strong woman strong? I love listening to women’s stories about their lives to find the jewels to answer that question. And you know one thing I hear again and again? It’s that no matter how strong these women seem today, they all, I mean ALL, went through a really tough time. But they didn’t stay stuck in that tough time. At some point, they had an ah-ha that whatever they were doing wasn’t working. They realized what they truly valued and who they really were. And as they changed course, they had to put up a figurative fence around areas of their lives to operate differently. Those fences are healthy boundaries and there’s no way to live like your nail color without them.

During today’s episode, I talk with one of these strong women, my gal pal Jennifer Foxworthy. Jennifer had a 21-year Naval career flying combat missions in three wars and busting through military stereotypes. All pretty heroic stuff. But she was losing the battle of having fulfilled her personal life until one moment when it all came to a head, and she had a breakthrough. Though you may never fly a helicopter or be part of a military operation, what Jennifer began to understand and implement will help you set up your life to soar. I can’t wait for you to meet her!

In this episode we talk about:

• Becoming aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
• The seven dimensions of wellness
• Self-care helps to strengthen healthy boundaries
• Let your nail color cheer you on
