But since she doesn’t have any education and anything new and concrete to offer - she’s flailing in these new worlds and isn’t up to par and experiencing the same kind of success she did in the small conservative evangelical bubble/ targetmarket.[/quote]

I believe this is a real fatal flaw from a business management perspective. Can she actually compete in the secular market? As an author, is she even close to being comparable to Glennon and Brene? Nope. Is her social justice activism really backed up by anything? Legacy Collective seems too…… shady. She’s given up on the HGTV lane, but she was never on par with Joanna. Her cookbook is probably funny, but there’s no way it’s an actual contender with Ree, or even Trisha Yearwood. She’s shilling skincare - but it’s an MLM that EVERYONE ELSE sells. Who’s going to buy from Jen when they have 10 Facebook friends selling it too? And don’t even get me started on Able. Who is paying over $100 for I’ll-fitting dresses made from some sort of polyester mixed fabric that makes me itch just by looking at it?!

Someone asked above “What is Jen?”. I’m also curious as to “Who are Jen’s fans/customer?!”. [/quote]

I don't think she can compete in the secular market. Last night I was transferring some quotes over from an old planner into a new journal I'm keeping of quotes I like (because I'm weird) and I was looking at quotes by the likes of Madeleine L'Engle (SO many quotes from her) and thinking that the reason her quotes stick with me is that she had a maturity that Jen lacks. Okay, yes, she was also a damn brilliant writer. But I think that maybe Jen thinks that Jen is more brilliant than she really is. Like the video that she made on 'choosing delight.' Like...this is not a huge revelation, Jen. We find what we look for. And we can get that insight worded with skill and poetry, or we can get it with hair twirling and that breathy little girl voice. I know which I prefer.[/quote]
