My Big WHY

Posted on 2 Comments Location: 3 min read 918 views

While 2020 has been so hard in so many ways for all of us, the one light it has shed is forcing everyone to slow down and really figure out what the most important things are in life. This has been the year of reflection and soul searching for me, personally. I have always kept busy and done “all the things.” If it is different, challenging, or new, I want to try it, taste it, or go there! I love being able to create these experiences for my kids and husband too. My name is Jenny Goff Phillips and I am an experience enthusiast. 

I love over-the-top, out of the norm, quirky, moments, because they are the most memorable. I believe in celebrating everything and celebrating BIG! I believe in “treating yo self” and indulging in luxury when you can. I believe color, sequins, and sparkles belong in everyone’s wardrobe…yes, everyones. I, too, do not know how to “fold in the cheese,” but am determined to learn how. I believe that there is a way out of every difficult situation through creativity and drive. I am a problem-solver and an empath. I am an artist and connector. I am a kid-loving mama and experience enthusiast to the core.

It stems from such a silly fear, really. The fear of missing out on something in life (also known to the cool kids as FOMO). That silly fear motivates me every day to try new things and really experience every moment I can; the good, the bad, and the extraordinary. Nothing propels my creativity more than when there is a notion that it cannot be done. In times of desperation (i.e. post-partum, moving, financial stress, etc.), this silly fear has stepped into overdrive and, ironically enough, helped lift me up. It manifests itself into a source of creativity (Reindeer Games, solo trips, the creation of a thriving social media mommy networking group, Badass Moms of NOVA). For that, I have embraced this silly fear and am actually unequivocally grateful for it. I find my perspective parallels closely with comedians. Often times, their funniest material stems from their real life experiences; the good, the bad, and the extra.

I have always felt compelled to share my experiences with people, but I never really explained “my why.” So, here it is…in all of it’s unattractive and raw glory. My name is Jenny Goff Phillips and I am addicted to finding the experience in everything. Birthday parties, family adventures, a new home project, our allergy journey with my son, a way out of post-partum for new mamas. In sharing my experiences, I have connected with so many incredible people. I was constantly encouraged and inspired by many to try and find a way to bottle up my passion for experiences and creativity and find a way to give it to them. I was asked to plan birthday parties, make and sell items, go into event planning, host online diy classes…and I tried it all! In fact, I opened an e-commerce shop for experience gifting, knocomavpop.com, which I am so pleased to say is still running at full steam! The fulfilling experience of being an online shop owner has, in itself, led to so many more new adventures and connections for me. But…that’s just it. It is another AMAZING experience I want to share about with all of you. 
 

“I have always felt compelled to share my experiences with people, but I never really explained ‘my why.’ So, here it is…in all of it’s unattractive and raw glory.”

I am BEYOND WORDS ready to introduce to you LETsbyJenny.com, a DC Metropolitan area-based online resource full of brilliant & clever ways to step out of your daily lives and enrich your soul through becoming a true tastemaker of life. LET’s literally stands for Let’s Experience This, together. The evolution of this name is the product of countless hours, days, conversations, and a serious path to self discovery. My excitement extends from the result of really feeling a sense of “this is it.” This is what I have been looking for. This is where I finally belong. LETsbyJenny.com is my own space where I can umbrella EVERRRYYYTHING I do; big celebrations, family and solo adventures, mommying troubles, attainable luxury, favorite foods, health & wellness, and my often times uncontrollable infatuation and excitement for a really great product.
