And then there's the rest of life.

Supporting an aging parent while building businesses and showing up for the people who depend on me.

Being an auntie to a niece and nephew who can rearrange my priorities faster than almost anyone.

Navigating health, weight loss, and a packed business and travel season with an injured knee. There are appointments, suitcases, adjustments and occasional negotiations with a body that has its own agenda.

I appreciate extraordinary experiences, beautiful places and thoughtful details. I also like a little mud, a little noise and a road worth exploring. I'm a Jeep Moab 392 kind of girl, with maxed-out tires on the wish list, in a world of sleek, quiet performance cars.

Some days I have a perspective worth sharing. Some days I have a story that deserves to be laughed at. You'll find both here.

The soundtrack to building anyway

For the days you put yourself out there, take the hit and decide to keep going.

JenKat Unplugged Music is the unfiltered music that inspires me, plays as I celebrate my wins and heals me when I need to rise from my setbacks. It's personal, defiant and explicit. Current favorites include "Wild Around the Edges."

For grown-ups. Explicit lyrics.
