Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge description on YouTube:

Welcome to my very personal, very joyful and hopefully very uplifting space on the YouTube! I'm a 50 something empty-nester mom and I'm sharing all about my life, my frequent travels, my struggles, and how I live my most joyful life! This is not a space to figure out how to "do it perfectly" - quite the opposite. I've learned that the quest for perfection only leads to anxiety and disappointment. Instead, we're going to be finding joy in the little things; from organizing a great linen closet to going to Paris and literally everything in between. So if you'd like to spend a few minutes each week finding the joy, stick around! And let's find some joy TOGETHER.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge.

  1. If you are a Disney fan looking to try Celebrity, start with a three-night cruise to get your feet wet.

  2. If you are worried about screaming children on Disney, don't be; adult spaces are lovely and you won't encounter crowds as often as you think.

  3. Ask if your loved one is safe to live alone rather than focusing on a dementia diagnosis.

  4. Get their doctor involved for cognitive testing and start slowly getting testing done.

  5. Ensure power of attorney is in place early, even if dementia is not a concern.

  6. Meet your loved one where they are in their understanding and reality.

  7. Outsource bookkeeping and accounting if it's not your strong suit to free up time for creative work.

  8. Use hair care products for a few weeks before deciding if a new hair care line works for you.
