Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn reflects on a small but meaningful shift she noticed while dealing with something very ordinary: a health insurance phone call.Nothing went wrong. Nothing was dramatic. The situation unfolded, required some time and effort, and resolved the way these things usually do. What stood out was this. Before the call, during it, and after it ended, she still felt like herself. Her internal state stayed intact.From there, Jenna explores what she is learning about free will, mindfulness, and why life’s sequence of events will happen no matter what. Appointments, traffic, money, work stress, text messages, success, disappointment. The events keep unfolding. How you respond while they unfold is where choice actually lives.This episode is not about suppressing emotions or pretending things do not matter. It is about learning how to pause and choosing not to suffer unnecessarily when nothing is actually threatening you.Because when you stop living as the effect of your life and start living as the cause, everything changes, even when nothing else does.Follow Jenna on Instagram: @jennamarilyn_Email thoughts to: [email protected]: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm
