About this listen
Part manual and part memoir, Jenniffer Weigel pulls back the curtain of her life and shares how getting a divorce and moving away from her "white picket fence" dream actually helped her gain a greater awareness and happiness. Her sense of humor reminds us that even though staying on the spiritual path has its fair share of challenges, you are not alone and you will laugh again.
Each chapter of This Isn't the Life I Ordered delivers a nugget of wisdom that will leave you inspired and entertained. Jenniffer shows the human side of trying to be spiritual, with several laughs and poignant lessons along the way. This audiobook includes interviews with best-selling authors Caroline Myss, Anita Moorjani, and Dr. Mary Neal.

There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves.

What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

A breath of fresh air for the soul.
I had started this book once a few months ago and wasn’t ready for it in my life.
When I pressed play last week: one week before Christmas during a pandemic it was as if this book was saving itself for me at the time I needed it most.
If you listen you will agree that perhaps that is exactly what happened.
Looking forward to listening again to remind myself of the work I’m doing within.

Hearing from God.
I've had a lonely 2nd marriage, right after an abusive 1st marriage. Early 2020 after 12 years of marriage I was ready to call it quiets. God had other plans and he had changed my husband who did a 380 and is more attentive in our marriage. But that didn't mean anything for me, I had lost myself at 18, and jumped from one guy to another, not healing after a rape at 18 to get married to a guy I didn't know before the end of that year. 4 months after being married I lost my first pregnancy, still lost and not healed from the previous trauma. i spent 75% of that marriage alone or coping with other men, drinking and drugs. then while my ex was deployed in 2003, I started to get myself back, but that person was lost when my husband came back asking for a divorce and being physically abusive to me. I didnt take a day between husband 1 and husband 2. at 37, I am broken and completely lost. hurting and angry. your book touched on areas that God has been working on me with, and what he is telling me to do. love myself, forgive, and let go. I cried listening to this. thank you for writing it. I pray God speaks directly to your soul and heals those wounds.

I didn’t realize I needed to be unstuck
The title of the book caught my attention, but the content altered my life.
Wayne Dyer said “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”. I was ready and the lesson appeared.
I had never heard of this author prior to finding her in the freebie section of Amy Audible membership. I am open and saying Yes! Yes to love. Yes to me. Yes to a life full of trust.
Thank you Jennifer, reading this book made me feel like we were have a girls weekend of sharing.

Spirituality for people who swear
I love the way Jenniffer talks about spirituality, ponders filosophical questions in a way thats approachable and doesn't make me close up or refuse the idea. For me she is pioneer in breaking the stereotype around spirituality being only for irrational never-swearing always kind and positive human beings in batik clothes who have it all figured out. thank you!
