Fence Jumping: Embracing Life's Challenges with The Goodness Chick
Life's short, and I believe we've been given one life and I believe God put me here for a purpose, without any question, and I believe I was placed in that high school for Years, like he super directed me there.
Have you ever felt stuck in the routine of everyday life, wondering if there's more out there for you? Erin Lawler Patterson, affectionately known as the Goodness Chick, dives into this very topic in her episode 'Fence Jumping'. As an addictions counselor turned motivational speaker and parent coach, Erin shares her personal journey of shifting her focus and priorities to live a more fulfilling life.
She reflects on her time as a drug counselor, where she built deep, trusting relationships with teens who confided in her their biggest fears and joys. These experiences have shaped her belief that life is too short to settle for the mundane. Instead, Erin encourages us all to be 'fence jumpers'—those who take risks, embrace the present, and make the most out of life.
Her message is clear: we all face challenges, but by sharing our journeys and supporting each other, life becomes less daunting. Whether you're a parent, a teen, or someone seeking a bit of inspiration and encouragement, this episode offers valuable insights and a heartfelt reminder to live boldly and authentically.
