Going After Your Own Happiness with Jane Porter

My guest in this episode is New York Times and USA Today's best-selling author, Jane Porter. She's written over 70 romances and women's fiction novels has had 3 of her books turned into Movies of the Week, started a publishing company at forty-in to give writers more opportunities, and now at 58 works placing Tule Publishing stories with film producers.

In our conversation, some highlights we spoke about:

• Jane shares her journey of becoming a writer, including the many times she could have given up but didn't.

• How menopause affected her creativity.

• The shift she made in her career in her 40s and why.

• How women should be supporting one another.

• Her take on being happy (hint - you have to choose it!)

Jane believes you're never too old to reinvent yourself or create the life you want. I know you will love our conversation!

Quotes from Jane I love:

"Taking risks isn't always natural for us, especially if we were raised to be good or a pleaser. But it's never too late to come into our own, and it only adds to our ability to nurture our families and take care of our communities."

"Happiness isn't just going to come to you. You have to go after it. You have to make decisions that allow you to be happy. Your turn at happiness is not like waiting in line, like we're at Baskin Robbins, for your turn does not happen. Your turn will not come. You have to go after it."
