Jennifer Dukes Lee is an author, and storyteller, and grace dweller. A former journalist, she uses her reporting skills to chase after the bigger story ever: the redemptive story of Christ. Jennifer is a fan of dark chocolate, bright-colored lipstick, and eighties music. She lives with her husband and children on their farm in Iowa.

We chatted about:

• The heart behind her new message Growing Slow
• Giving ourselves permission to be un-spectacular
• High-capacity people (keeping unhealthy tendencies in check and learning to slow down)
• Letting go of expectations (how can we do this better?)
• What to do "when our dreams die"
• Focusing on what really matters when our plate is full
