Ep. #280: You're Not Behind — You're in the Process

Jun 25, 2025

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind in life, this episode is your reminder: you’re not behind— you’re in the process. I'm breaking down the lies that come up when you start comparing your timeline to someone else’s highlight reel or some imaginary version of where you "should" be. That mindset only robs you of joy and either pushes you into burnout or holds you in place.

You’ll hear why your age isn’t a deadline, it’s actually your advantage. You’ll see how wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful, it means you’re alive and growing. And if you’ve been feeling stuck, we’ll talk about how getting curious can shift everything. Curiosity leads to clarity, and clarity fuels confidence. Let’s normalize the process and stop measuring progress with someone else’s ruler.

Are you ready to stop living on autopilot and start creating the life you actually want? The Life Upgrade Masterclass Series is your monthly blueprint for real change. 12-months of live Masterclass workshops (...

Jun 11, 2025

In this episode, I'm diving into the subtle, silent habits that quietly sabotage your progress—the ones that don’t always look like self-sabotage on the surface.

Ep. #278: Shift the Relationship by Shifting Yourself

May 28, 2025

I used to think my relationship would get better if only my partner would change, be more present, more affectionate, more anything. But what I’ve learned is that real change started when I stopped focusing on what he wasn’t doing and started looking at how I was showing up.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it means to shift a relationship by shifting yourself. Not by shrinking or people-pleasing, but by growing, owning your part, and showing up differently—with more awareness, honesty, and intention. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for someone else to change, this one’s for you.

May 14, 2025

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a rut, like no matter what you do, the next step just feels impossible? I think we’ve all been there. But here's the thing: there's this quiet force called hope that has a way of sneaking in when we need it most.

Ep. #275: Good Things Take Time

May 07, 2025

Sometimes life feels slow, like you’re stuck or falling behind. But this episode is a reminder: good things take time. The growth you can’t see—the deep, unseen work—is often the most important part. You’re not behind; you’re growing roots. And roots matter. Flowers don’t last without them. It’s easy to get caught up waiting for the visible bloom, but real strength and lasting change are built underground, in the quiet seasons. Trust that what’s coming is worth the wait.

Ep. #274: When You Lose Yourself in the Roles You Play

Apr 30, 2025

Ever wake up one day and wonder, “Where did I go?” You’re checking boxes, showing up for everyone, juggling roles like mom, wife, boss, caregiver, friend… and somewhere in the shuffle, you got lost. This episode is a heart-to-heart for every woman who's ever felt like she disappeared behind the roles she plays.

In this episode of "Creating Her Best Life Now," Coach Jenn and I dive deep into the powerful truth that losing yourself in roles doesn't define your true identity. We're unpacking the truth: what you do is not who you are. Those titles you carry? They’re part of your story, but they’re not your identity.

Join us as we navigate through the maze of roles and rediscover the essence of being YOU. It's time to shine a light on your true identity beyond the labels and roles you've taken on. So if you're feeling burned out, unseen, or like you've forgotten what it feels like to dream for yourself—this one's for you.
