The Jen Marples Show episode 184 is here!

Get ready to have your soul ignited, ladies! Today I'm thrilled to welcome the one and only Shelley Paxton - a true corporate rebel, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and Chief Soul Officer extraordinaire. Shelly's journey from the top marketing ranks at Harley-Davidson to a profound midlife awakening is the stuff of legend.

She's the Brené Brown meets biker babe you never knew you needed, and her message of reclaiming your power, releasing the shackles of "should," and redefining success on your own terms is exactly what our community needs to hear.

Buckle up, because Shelley is about to take us on a wild ride straight to the depths of our souls. You won't want to miss a single juicy morsel of wisdom she's dropping - this episode is pure fire from start to finish!

Think Brené Brown meets Biker Babe, with a dash of Liz Gilbert. As former Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson, Shelley Paxton found herself at the top of the proverbial mountain feeling success-EMPTY instead of success-FULL. That awakening led her on a profound journey that became her mission, business, and Simon & Schuster- published bestselling book, Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life. She’s leading a REBELution to rewrite the script of success. Shelley’s inspiring work has been featured on NBC, CBS, Forbes, Thrive Global, Inc., Business Insider, Yahoo!, and a TEDx stage.

Shelley and I discuss:

• Recognizing when your "success" feels empty and disconnected from your true self is a powerful wake-up call to make a change.
• Defining a "soul batical" as a conscious choice to live and lead with greater authenticity, courage and fulfillment.
• Releasing the "shackles of should" by identifying your soul fuels vs. soul sucks through a simple energy audit exercise.
• Establishing boundaries and giving yourself permission slips to prioritize your values and well-being.
• Overcoming the "arrival fallacy" - the belief that achieving certain milestones will bring lasting happiness.
• Choosing your values over external validation, even when it means making difficult decisions.
• Embracing the wisdom and self-trust that comes with midlife as you rewrite your success story on your own terms.

Shelley’s Powerful Question to ask yourself:

• What do I need to allow myself to do, not do, or feel right now, today, or in this moment in order to show up as my most bold, brave, and badass self?

Now, write yourself a permission slip to do that thing and see what happens!

Shelley Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to Rewrite Your Script on Your Own Terms!
