Publisher's summary

As seen on The Today Show!

Break out of that rut and fall in love with your life again by joining stand-up comic, SiriusXM host, and mom of six Jennifer Fulwiler in finding your blue flame.

Every one of us has a blue flame - a special skill, a personal passion, a gift, or talent. But when caught up in life's busyness, it's too easy to make a habit of suppressing our most joyful contributions to the world.

As Jennifer learned, the secret to a life you love isn't necessarily jumping the track, quitting your job, or hustling to make your dream your full-time reality. Rather, it's about doing more of what makes you come alive in your actual life. Your Blue Flame is your upbeat playbook to rekindling your energy, sparking those meaningful "first loves" back to life again, and discovering the unique way each one of us can make the world a better, brighter place.

With Jennifer's wit and straightforward, practical insights, this helpful guide will show you:

• How to channel your blue flame's contagious energy
• Why your blue flame is both personally fulfilling and a sacred duty to others
• Tips and tricks to boldly make time for your passions
• How to rethink dreaming big for your actual life

No matter where you are in life, you'll be inspired with stories of others who found their flames, like the couple who packed up their three kids and moved to a farm, the woman who discovered a passion for letter-writing at age 95, and of course Jennifer's own story of self-producing her own stand-up comedy tour after being turned down by the entertainment industry establishment.

It's been said that the glory of God is the soul fully alive. It's time to start chasing our spark, and Your Blue Flame will show you how.

This book helped me decide to record a song

As a pastor of a big, multicultural, bilingual parish with a school and preschool, I figured hobbies had to be kept to a minimum. But this book helped me take the opportunity when it presented itself to work with a producer and some friends and record a song I wrote 20 years before. Thanks, Jen! (Hope you hear the song sometime and it helps you somehow :-)

Permission to drop the guilt

Jen Fulwiler does it again! Drop the guilt and find your blue flame. Narrated by the author, this book will inspire you with simple, straightforward steps to take, to not only find your blue flame, but to share it with the world. As the author explains, it is not just a responsibility to yourself, but to the world. Begin now!

Relatable yet inspiring

this was a great new way of looking at things. The questions on how to find your blue flame were great.

This Book Is Magic

I'm a mother of four children, the oldest is 6. Before I was a SAHM I worked as an engineer, at big companies like SpaceX and nuclear power plants. being home with 4 tiny people is the hardest and most exhausting job I've ever had.

For years I've felt like I'm never going to be good enough, I'm too tired, I'm too busy, I'm too pregnant, I'm still breastfeeding, I don't know who I am anymore.

I don't know what made me click on the audible version of Jen's other book, One Beautiful Dream. That book made me feel so heard. I cried big ugly tears in the car on the way to the weekly raw milk pickup when she talked about connecting with her friend Haley. Pick it up if you haven't already.

That book led me to this one.

The idea that you are not being self indulgent by following your passion (blue flame) is life changing.

In one week it completely changed how I look at the business I've been half-heartedly "working" on for almost five years.

I'm not being selfish by working on my business and hiring a sitter for my kids.

I'm being selfish by not doing that work, that I know can touch so many other people.

I've been writing about parenting and teaching classes regularly for a month, which has always been my passion. Everything Jen says about touching other people is completely true. I cannot believe it took me so long to Just Do It. The responses I get from other parents makes me feel so happy to help others thrive. it's indescribable.

Thank you, Jen. You are truly doing God's work here and helping others to step into their own.

Dr. AnnaLisa’s Review of “Your Blue Flame”

I absolutely LOVED Your Blue Flame! Fulwiler does an outstanding job of guiding her readers through the full process of finding one’s Blue Flame! The best part is it’s about doing it for the greater good, “A gift to the world.” Loved that she read it herself!

Exactly What I Needed To Hear

You ever read a book that speaks to you in exactly the phase of life you're in? That's what this book was for me. If you are a mom, especially a depressed mom who feels like she has no time to be creative, read this book right now.

Me encantó

Aunque está en ingles, creo capte muy bien el mensaje. Es un libro muy motivador a seguir tus sueños y usar los dones que Dios te dió para ser liz para los demás. Creo que va a impactar mucho mi vida de manera muy positiva. Gracias Jennifer por usar tu “blue flame” para impactar a las personas.

Discernment of Spirits for Moms

I love the ideas and I love the stories woven throughout. Laughter and tears, and just real life. This was such an affirming read when I needed it!

Great Book But Different-ish Genera Than Usual

Still packed with tons of funny stories and highly empowering book! It's-just-a-different-genera-than-she-has-written-before. Still loved it!!!

Read Chapter 3

If you are too busy with life to even have time to find your blue flame let alone pursue your blue flame, ask yourself if you'd like to have more joy in your life. If you'd like more joy,

1) buy this book,
2) skip to chapter 3,
3) write down your answers to Jen's questions.

Just going through her questions of how to find your blue flame gave me immediate joy and a real concrete beginning to understanding what is my blue flame.


On the other hand, if you don't want more joy in your life, well... good.
