Introduction to Jenny and Becoming Your Best I’m Jenny Lightle and I am a registered nurse and I live in Indiana. I have been a nurse for 28 years this month. And most of that has been in hospice and end of life care. And then I’ve kind of transitioned into a stress relief self care coach just because of some things that happened with me personally, and I discovered that I really love working with women and caregivers to help them become the best versions of themselves. How Becoming Your Best Got Started I started my podcast really kind of on a whim. I knew that it was something that I wanted to do. I had my coaching practice, but I just love talking with people and, you know, and kind of relating to people one on one. And a lot of the clients that I work with, the women that I’m speaking to, are busy. And so having an option that, you know, they can listen to me, maybe, you know, pick up some tips and encouragement while they’re going about their day. I felt like that was a good way to be able to reach out and connect with more women. What to Expect From Becoming Your Best I want people to get encouragement and hope from time to time, maybe a laugh and just come away with some, some practical tips for, you know, for de-stressing or for being able to fit self care into their busy lives. Because I think there’s a lot of misconceptions about self care that it has to be really, you know, really involved or really expensive or that it’s selfish. And so just trying to trying to kind of get rid of those thoughts one episode at a time. The Vibe of Becoming Your Best Very conversational, laid back. I, you know, sometimes I’m a little more serious depending on the topic, but overall, I just want it to feel like it’s me and the listener having a conversation. Jenny’s Favorite Episode I would say that my one about, I have one that’s about riding the waves of grief. And I, you know, I mean, part of it is I’ve been in, you know, hospice care for a long time, so I’ve dealt a lot with grief and loss, but I also lost my mom fairly suddenly four years ago, and I was really unprepared, even though I have a lot of grief and death experience, I didn’t have a lot of that personally and so I was, I was surprised. I was surprised at the way that it just comes out of nowhere and can knock you down even when you think everything is going along fine. And so I think that’s probably one of my favorites. And if I’ve got another one, probably my New Years’ episode, and I can’t remember what it’s called, but basically it was about, kind of setting yourself up for a great year. Becoming Your Best and Little Ears So I have just started having guests on my podcast. Before that, it’s just been me and I keep all of my episodes short because, well, I don’t have a real long attention span, , and I know a lot of people, other people don’t either. And so, yes, as of right now, they do. And my plan is if that changes to make sure to you know, to say that up front, to have that in the show notes and also to say that at the beginning of the episode because I know that’s, that’s an issue for some of us. And I don’t want to I don’t want anybody to be surprised Because I am going to, you know, I’m going to have some people on talking about, you know, some specific to women’s health issues and, I mean, that’s kind of, up to you what’s your what’s your kids listen to. But I just don’t want anybody to be taken by surprise.

Final Thoughts on Becoming Your Best I work with, women primarily, and there’s a few men, but primarily I work with women and caregivers. And so, you know, my version of caregivers is kind of broad, you know, so some of that may be other people in, you know, in healthcare. And, but I, I also believe that, you know, there’s parents and you’re caring for little people. And, you know, and lay caregivers who are maybe taking care of a loved one with a, you know, with an extended illness at home.
