Ep 204 What Season of Life Are You In Right Now?

Jenny Alday Townsend

In this episode of The Stroke It Podcast, host Jenny Townsend takes you on a short but powerful journey through the “seasons of life,” inspired by Jim Rohn’s classic book Seasons of Life. Jenny reflects on why winter, spring, summer, and fall aren’t just weather patterns, but a framework for how we move through challenge, growth, momentum, and harvest in our businesses, relationships, and personal lives.

She weaves in her own story, the shifts she’s experienced this year with Music Compound, and why a few lines from her original song “New Day” hit differently when you realize that Amazon doesn’t deliver money trees—and that today really is the best day to plant your next seed. Along the way, she invites you to pause, journal, and honestly name the season you’re in so you can stop fighting it and start thriving in it.

It’s hopeful, honest, and a great listen if you’re feeling in-between seasons, navigating change, or just needing a reminder that every sunrise is a fresh start.
