In the next episode of “Catching Up with Corey,” I will continue to explore a topic that affects us all: success. And who better to explore it with than someone truly living their multifaceted dreams? I had the pleasure of sitting down with one of my sisters, Janine Stokes, known in her area as The Ja Rene. Get ready for a candid conversation that will expand your perceptions and inspire your journey.
I’m excited for you to hear this upcoming episode, but before it’s published, let me highlight some of the discussion. The Ja Rene, an aspiring songwriter and a move-maker in the financial industry, shares her unique perspective on what it means to be successful. As she navigates the complexities of the stock market by day and crafts soulful lyrics by night, Janine’s definition of success might surprise you.
For Janine, success isn’t just about the accolades or the bank account. It’s about something far more personal: happiness and fulfillment. She believes that true success lies in doing what you love and being able to support yourself comfortably through that passion. It’s not necessarily about making millions, but about a deep sense of contentment and avoiding struggle. Imagine building a life where your passion directly fuels your livelihood – that’s Janine’s North Star.
Her journey is a testament to this philosophy. From simplifying complex financial concepts for her clients to pouring her heart into songwriting (a talent she discovered runs in our family!), Janine embodies the idea of finding joy and purpose in every endeavor.
But the conversation doesn’t stop there.
My own definition of success resonated deeply with Janine’s, extending beyond the conventional ideas of wealth and fame. For me, success is about the individual journey, navigating everyday life with purpose, and making genuine progress towards one’s goals. It’s about finding that sweet spot where your dreams sustain your reality.
Stay tuned for this episode as it is packed with genuine insights, relatable struggles, and powerful takeaways. If you’ve ever questioned your own definition of success, felt the weight of overwhelm, or pondered the lessons learned from setbacks, you won’t want to miss this.
So, listen in to “Catching Up with Corey” and join the conversation with Janine “The Ja Renee” Stokes. You can find more from Janine by searching for “The Ja Rene Healing” on YouTube.
