Jen Riday is a mother of 6. She holds a PhD in human development and family studies, and runs an online business helping women heal their hearts and build self love. With that kind of background I thought Jen would have a lot to say about motherhood….which, of course, she did! We covered quite a bit of ground in this conversation, and one of the pieces that kept coming up was how raising children has helped Jen discover what's essential.

Jen and I have known each other for a few years. I was a guest on her hugely popular Vibrant Happy Women podcast when she was just getting started (here's the episode), so it felt like a full-circle moment to have Jen on my podcast as I'm getting started. 

Jen is so generous in this episode. She shares a lot of personal stories about what it's like to raise six children, run a business, and maintain a sense of self amidst all of it.
