During the show we discussed such weighty topics Jennifer such as:

How now is the best time ever for introverts to make themselves heard amongst the madness of life, using social media at the right times to cut through the madness.
How she wrote a book in 2005 even though she didn’t consider herself a writer. She had not found the mind-set to embrace her talents fully.
How in her earlier years she believes that we was trying to prove herself to herself and the world in equal measures, and found it hard going to say the least.
And lastly…..
Why it is so important to realise that when you start something it is going to take a long time to get anything going. Its these times that really lay the foundation of success and can’t be rushed.
