Get Lively With Jan

Starting fresh in a new space is wonderful in SO many ways… You get to RECONCEIVE what you are doing and WHY you are doing it. You get to PURGE the stuff you no longer need. And you get to REVISIT what got you started in the first place. And for me personally, this week, […]

What a month this has been so far… We are nearing a month at our new studio location and it's been days and weeks of squats, smiles, parties, and welcoming lots of lively peeps into our new home. It's been SO much fun. And it's been SO exhausting! Yes, I just typed that.  I'm so […]

This is a great time of year to take a look at what we are doing – or not doing – and shift right along with the season into a new day. And this idea, this time of year, got me thinking about commitment. And what it REALLY got me thinking about is what I […]

I've been thinking about what's going on in my life right now and I kept coming back to the moments that are bringing me joy. I don't know about you, but I can be someone who tries to make the stuff that brings me JOY more than it is – I try to make it […]

As I was putting my notes together to record this show, I laughed to myself as I thought: wow, Jan, this show has become a whole lot of “Dear Diary” since 2023 hit! With the exception of some recent interview shows, seems I've just been spilling my guts week after week… and guess what? This […]

It took me 280 episodes to finally have the tables turned on ME! On this week's show, I handed over the mic to our gal pal, business bestie, and frequent podcast guest Courtney Hurst to interview me! (Spoiler alert: she nails the intro!) Why did we do this you might ask? Well beyond the obvious […]

Well the last few months have certainly been an exercise in reflecting on what is possible… It has been an opportunity for me to take my fears, learn how to use my own history to move past them, and to get to a place where I feel ready to jump into this next phase.  So […]

One of my favorite things to do as a small business owner is to chat with other small biz owners – especially those who, like me, didn't start out this way. On this week's show, I had a chance to chat with fellow corporate employee turned entrepreneur Ariel Nathanson.  Turns out we have WAY more […]

We all deal with bouts of uncertainty at various times and at various life stages, and for me, I was constantly dealing with uncertainty when it came to looking for a new space for the Get Lively Studio. Well, after refreshing LoopNet over and over and over again, I FINALLY FOUND A SPACE! Tune into […]

As I've been grappling with what I believe is or is NOT possible for my business when it comes to commercial real estate, I came across this story. It's from a book titled How to Change by Katy Milkman and she shares a story about a Berkley math doctoral student named George Dantzig. Tune into […]

I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel the itch… Every few years (or heck, sometimes months) I'll notice myself starting to get restless. I feel myself wanting to make a change. And that means it's time for me to hire a coach. Listen to this episode as I talk more about this. […]

This is always a fun show to share… every few years we need to do some MYTHBUSTERS! And since there are LOTS of new people getting lively these days: training at the studio, listening to the podcast, and reading my emails, it seemed like the perfect time to revisit – and add some new – […]

Are you considering a significant life change this year? In this week's podcast episode, I share three things to remember / actions to take as you go through this journey. Please let me be your real life example of someone who was TERRIFIED to make this change and who now coaches others on doing the […]

We treat our bodies like they are our ENEMY… no wonder why we struggle so much. Everything was put into perspective for me when I was listening to Glennon Doyle's podcast “We Can Do Hard Things” with Sonya Renee Taylor, and Sonya said this: You AND your body are on the SAME team. Mic drop. […]

In this final segment of my 3-part podcast series about the transition of my business, we are going to talk about what is worth fighting for. For me, in the context of my business, the resounding answer is: YES.  Yes, yes, and yes again. As I've been saying each week, I'm sharing all of this […]

In this week's episode, I'm sharing three things I'm learning about myself as I go through this transition of finding a new space for Get Lively. Honestly, this is gold in terms of my own life, and as I share in this week's podcast, there's elements of these traits that I see in many of […]
