91: How to Be a Vibrant, Happy Woman with Happiness Expert Dr. Jen Riday

Dr. Jen Riday grew up on a farm in Iowa, where family, a strong work ethic and dedication were instilled in her from the beginning. When Jen became a mother of her own children -- six in total -- she dedicated herself to raising them as a full-time mom and held off on putting her Ph.D. in human development and family studies to use, at least professionally. Until she realized being a stay at home mom wasn't enough for her, and she was brave enough to admit that to herself after hitting rock bottom.

Jen set out to find out what made her happy and eventually decided it was time to make a change -- a drastic change -- to have that happiness be a part of her life, and her new business as a life coach and happiness expert, each day. On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Jen talks about the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, managing expectations and living a vibrant, happy life no matter what.
