I'm always excited for fall. 🍁

Cooler days and nights, the leaves changing colors, and pumpkin everything. Yes, please. And even though I no longer live by a school calendar, it still gives back-to-school vibes, and I love it all!

A few of my favorite series are returning with new seasons soon. If you're looking for good TV, and you haven't seen these yet, let the viewing begin! 📺

Shrinking - Apple TV+​
Far and away, my favorite series in recent years. Depth, humor, and lovable characters. They're flawed and evolving, and they show up for each other. Heartbreak and feel-good all wrapped into one. Bill Lawrence has produced some great TV (Ted Lasso, Scrubs, Bad Monkey, Spin City), and this might be his best work yet. Plus, Harrison Ford.

Nobody Wants This - Netflix​
When I finished the first season last year, I started it right over again. I've returned to the finale several times for a dose of joy when feeling blue. Tune in for the chemistry, the family dynamics, and the laughs.

The Diplomat - Netflix​
Kerri Russell is a powerhouse. This one is not easy viewing at the end of a long day. It's more of a 'show up and keep up' kind of thing, but it's worth it. Plus, Allison Janney became the president at the end of last season, and Bradley Whitford is about to make his debut as the first gentleman. West Wing reunion!

For my fellow book lovers, these authors have written books that spoke to my soul, and they're back with more. 📚

Brené Brown - Strong Ground​
I've learned so much from this woman. She's raw and real, funny and deep. Her commitment to things she cares about inspires me. Her interviewing skills are exceptional, and her podcast series Unlocking Us is at the top of my list.

Elizabeth Gilbert - All the Way to the River​
It's been almost 20 years since I first read Gilbert's work in her breakout memoir Eat, Pray, Love. People have big feelings about this book, and it's not always positive. But for me, as a woman who had barely been out of the country at the time (no offense to Canada and Mexico), I was drawn into her world and so grateful to get to go with her to Italy, India, and Indonesia. Even more influential for me is Big Magic, which has a spot on my nightstand. Her views on creativity and spirituality feel like coming home.

Sue Monk Kidd - Writing Creativity and Soul​
Speaking of creativity and spirituality, Sue Monk Kidd has been writing about the sacred feminine for decades. Her most recent novel, The Book of Longings, is one of the most inspiring books I've read. “When I am dust, sing these words over my bones: she was a voice.”

And finally, a workshop. ✨

How Not to Pee Your Pants was a hit! I'm evolving it for the next round, adding things beyond leaking, and expanding the anatomy section. Only women signed up for this month's workshops, but three men wrote to me to ask questions. Round two will be more of a pelvic health 101. It will feature both vaginas and penises, so be sure to show up for the fun.

In all seriousness, this is stuff we should have learned years ago. Join me to learn a little more about this vehicle that moves you through life. It's a miraculous thing.

You can prevent or improve pelvic health problems. I can help.

Wednesday, October 1st at 9:30 am MDT -or- Saturday, November 1st at 9:30 am MDT

That's all for now.
Sending love,
Jen
