Caitlyn Jeffery is my go-to gal and the first lady I ever hired. She is an absolute powerhouse of a woman and true do-it-all-er. A mom, wife, and the Jenna Kutcher brand manager, she used to own her own business as a virtual assistant until she went full time for my team. Since joining my team she has transitioned from email inbox support to podcast supporter all the way to course content and logistic management. Remember when I said she was a do-it-all-er? I MEANT IT!

But even though she can do it all, doesn’t mean she should- which is why she is the perfect person to chat with about using your specific strengths to capitalize on her role.

Stop letting your titles like "manager", "assistant", "executive" define who you are. "It's easy to wrap yourself in your title", but you need to really look at who you are at your core when you take away your title. "Things change, circumstances change, and who you are at your core- is what your focus should be on your life... and your business as well!". This episode is all about using YOUR strengths to craft your dream job! Goal Diggers, It's time to peel back a layer and really look at yourself.

Welcome our Friday 5: We're doing something new around here to celebrate our ONE year anniversary of The Goal Digger Podcast! To celebrate I'm dropping 5 favorite things in under 10 minutes every Friday for the month of December (and you're lucky, there are 5 Fridays this December!)

To help us celebrate, take a screenshot of you tuning in and share it on social media so that I can see when you're tuning in! It's such a fun way to share the show and to connect with ME, because nothing makes me happier than knowing you!

Today I am sharing 5 ways to increase your productivity! The truth is, we all need more hours in the day but what would happen if you spent your hours the RIGHT way, doing focused work, and getting more done in the same amount of time?

Steal my 5 hacks that will help you rock each work day and disconnect at the end of the day knowing you got done what you needed to! These are the habits me and my team have adopted in our quest to boost productivity and create more work/life balance!

Love these extra shows? Tell us about it! Hop on over to Instagram and find us @goaldiggerpodcast to let us know what you think!

GUYS, it's one of my favorite episode formats, "Ask Jenna ANYTHING"! Every so often I tune in to answer YOUR biggest questions!

And I'm answering!

While I wish I could dedicate full shows to your questions, a lot of times the responses are brief. This is my best method to answer your questions, give you a behind the scenes look into my life, marriage, home, fashion and of course mac and cheese recipes and connect with you, the listeners. If you have a question you’d love answered, join our Goal Digger Podcast Insiders group on Facebook and once a month you can share your biggest questions and maybe I’ll answer it (and mention you!) on the show!

Join host Jenna Kutcher as she interviews the Lebanese-Canadian author, poet, speaker and educator, Najwa Zebian. Interviewing this inspiring, relatable woman left us inspired to embrace our own unique journey on finding one's voice and pursuing business.

You may recognize Najwa's two self-published books, Mind Platter and The Nectar of Pain. She is an absolute breath of fresh air in the writing community and beyond.

After a personal experience of being silenced, she has made the decision to string her words in a way that resonates with every soul at a deep level. Her mission is to give a voice to anyone who feels silenced. Within less than two years of publishing her first book, she now inspires hundreds of thousands daily to dive into the depths of feeling in a courageously daring, yet beautifully liberating way.
