October 24, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. In part one, I explain how Social Security works, who relies on it for survival, and how Trump and the team’s plan to end it in 2030 will hit families hard.

October 24, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast.

Day 15: Understanding Trump’s Recent Bizarre Outbursts

October 21, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. As people age, they often lose some control over what they say. This change is called disinhibition. It’s when the brain becomes less able to hold back thoughts that might be inappropriate or offensive. This means older adults, like Trump, might speak more impulsively, without filtering their words.… More Day 15: Understanding Trump’s Recent Bizarre Outbursts

Day 29: Trump is Too Old and Too Young

October 10, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. I can’t believe how many times a day I yell at Donald Trump to grow up.

Day 36: VP Debate – Two Very Different Futures for America

October 1, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. The VP Debate was everything I thought it would be. A lot of information, most of it bogus. Vance’s smooth and competent performance was characterized by an artisanal blend of condescension and contempt, littered with mansplaining and obsequiousness. In other words, Vance’s performance was polished but laced with… More Day 36: VP Debate – Two Very Different Futures for America

Day 41: Anti-Abortion? Project 2025 and Trump Delivers

September 26, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. After spending a lot of time on Project 2025, I started thinking about how things might play out, particularly when it comes to abortion. I also looked at our past behavior because it typically predicts future behavior. I believe the anti-abortion “movement” has a hidden agenda, a darker,… More Day 41: Anti-Abortion?

Day 42: When the Death Penalty Became My Story

September 25, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. I know about the death penalty because it was charged in the Golden State Killer case.

Day 46: The Walz-Emhoff Effect – How to be a Great Guy

September 21, 2024

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. In part one, I talked about how toxic White Christian Nationalism provides cover for misogyny and racism.

It was so… More Day 46: The Walz-Emhoff Effect – How to be a Great Guy

Watch on YouTube or listen via podcast. Get part one here. As Project 2025 outlines an ambitious and public vision for reshaping America, Trump’s inner circle reveals an equally dangerous, though younger, group of individuals.

It's me! Jen! And I'm cleaned up and about to see Trae Crowder in Santa Cruz. I'm even wearing a tiny bit of make-up. Wow.

Jen Carole's 10 Commandments
(no hierarchy intended)

  1. People are more important than things - like tech, devices, sports, alcohol, and guns. Stop what you're doing and see them.
  2. Help others be successful. If you focus externally and on others, you will be nourished.
  3. Live with intention. Mindfulness is essential for effective agency so you can manifest what you want.
  4. Assume the best (generally). Most people have good intentions. Expect it. And give people grace.
  5. Seek to understand. We tend to fill in gaps with our bias, slow down, and clarify. Their experience is not your experience.
  6. Know your limits and red lines. Imagine how far you're willing to go to pursue your mission. Also, know when enough is enough. This is your armor.
  7. Past behavior predicts future behavior. Caveat: people can change, but it takes work; you'll know if they've done it. This rule is 98% reliable.
  8. Energy is contagious; it works for both positive and negative energy. Your energy will be reflected - so choose wisely. Coming in hot is typically unproductive.
  9. Don't provide feedback unless asked. If you feel compelled, that might be a you thing. Ask if they'd like feedback; if they say no, believe them.
  10. Always find the humor. I made jokes when my dad and stepmom were killed. Why? Because humor soothes the soul.
