Just Jenna

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn breaks down how getting fired cracked open her brain (in a useful way) and shifted her out of victim thinking and out of the “everything is a sign from the universe” era. She walks through three phases of seeing reality: life is happening to you, life is happening for you, and then… the non-dual version, where life is just happening and you’re inside of it, not separate from it. Jenna pulls in ideas from The Book of Secrets by Deepak Chopra, talks about why duality secretly keeps you in drama (even when it’s “positive”), and why you don’t actually need every breakup, job loss, or plot twist to mean something about you. Sometimes, it’s not punishment or reward. It just is. Follow Jenna on Instagram: @jennamarilyn_ Email: jenna.andrix@gmail.comHost: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm

A miracle isn’t magic. A miracle is anything that rises above the level of nature: the nature of the world you came from, the environment you were shaped by, and the nature you inherited within yourself.In this episode, Jenna Marilyn shares how every miracle in her life has happened the moment she stopped acting like the person her past taught her to be. When she went against her conditioning — the self-abandoning, staying small, keeping the peace, replaying the family script, swallowing emotions, never asking for help — life shifted in ways that made no logical sense, in the best way.If you feel stuck, this episode reminds you that you’re not stuck, you’re conditioned. Go against your nature, and miracles follow.Follow Jenna on Instagram @jennamarilyn_Email your thoughts: jenna.andrix@gmail.comHost: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm

After a yoga session, a Kabbalah class, and one of those ancient-teaching-meets-real-life moments, Jenna Marilyn had a revillization: flow is the absence of self-referencing. Life enters when the “I” dissolves.In this episode, Jenna breaks down the two costumes of the ego:The obvious ego (“I’m scared, I’m not enough, I’m failing”)The subtle ego (“How can I serve? What’s the most aligned thing to do? How can I live more in my purpose?”)One looks ugly. One looks holy.But both are still “I-centered,” and both pull you out of flow.Because when you’re not self-identified, life moves you. Life guides you. Life speaks through you. Life expresses itself through you.If you’ve been trying too hard to be good, aligned, helpful, or intentional… this episode will shift something in you.Follow Jenna on Instagram @jennamarilyn_Email: jenna.andrix@gmail.comHost: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm

Okay, listen. We all need to slow down. Like actually slow down. Not forcing things, not chasing ideas, not trying to figure it all out right now. Just letting life breathe. It’s the secret to relief.In this episode, Jenna Marilyn talks about what happens when we stop overthinking and start listening to our bodies—because your body holds wisdom your conscious mind can’t access. She shares what she’s been learning about creative flow, intuition, and how the right ideas find you when you’re calm enough to receive them.If you’ve been trying to make something happen or find an answer, this is your permission slip to chill, trust, and let it unfold.Follow Jenna on Instagram @jennamarilyn_Email her at jenna.andrix@gmail.comHost: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn talks honestly about chasing signs, craving certainty, and almost enrolling in massage school because it felt like the “safe” next step. After a week of synchronicities and school tours, she notices a deeper pattern: collecting certifications has been a stand-in for the scarier thing she actually wants to do. So she chooses differently. Instead of starting from scratch again, Jenna commits to using the yoga teacher training she already has and learning in public through practice.This is a conversation about pattern recognition, perfection paralysis, and the difference between running away and running toward. Jenna explores how to build security from the inside out, why the only real sign is action, and how curiosity without shame lets you change course with love.

In the finale of her three-part series, Jenna Marilyn dives into the last three Niyamas—Tapas (discipline/devotion), Svadhyaya (self-study), and Ishvarapranidhana (surrender). She reframes discipline as devotion, explores how honest self-inquiry can rewrite the stories we live by, and shows how trust and surrender turn the most ordinary moments—yes, even doing the dishes—into a living practice.Through personal reflections, sutra teachings, and practical prompts, Jenna makes these principles deeply usable: building self-esteem through follow-through, meeting shame with compassion, and finding the divine in the mundane. It’s not about perfection; it’s about a steady compass, daily choice, and remembering to let it be fun along the way.For feedback or thoughts, email Jenna at jenna.andrix@gmail.comHost: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn opens her notes and takes you inside her reflections on the Yamas — the first limb of yoga’s eightfold path. Far beyond poses or postures, these principles have become her compass, her North Star, the anchor she returns to when faced with choice, change, or uncertainty.Through stories, sutras, and lived experience, Jenna explores Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), and Brahmacharya (wise use of energy). She unpacks how these teachings show up not just on a yoga mat, but in the everyday moments where compassion, honesty, and discernment are most tested.This episode is not about rigid rules or perfection. It’s about awareness, intention, and the freedom that comes from having a compass to guide you. A reminder that reflecting deeply is powerful — but you’re also allowed to live, laugh, and enjoy the ride along the way.✨ Stay tuned for Part 2, where Jenna explores the fifth Yama, Aparigraha (nonpossessiveness), and dives into the five Niyamas.For feedback or thoughts, email Jenna at jenna.andrix@gmail.comHost: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn steps into her dating era—on purpose.No scripts. No shrinking. Just curiosity, discernment, and a running check-in with her nervous system.She talks about dating multiple people for the first time and what it’s teaching her: that the “first-time” feelings we crown as fate are often just data. Calm after a date can feel like savasana—and it doesn’t make someone your soulmate. Chivalry (hello, car doors) is lovely, but it’s the baseline, not the banner.Jenna shares why she asks big questions early (kids, money, marriage, values), why a non-negotiables list is clarity—not rigidity—and how to flip the focus from “Do they like me?” to “Do I like them?” She explores living your 20s with intention, taking aligned action, and letting people feel the weight of you—then decide.There’s a real-life interruption (dog drama, ER and all), messy consistency, and a through-line of truth: don’t slip into a life; build one. Ask better questions. Make choices today your future will thank you for.For feedback or thoughts, email Jenna at jenna.andrix@gmail.comHost: Jenna MarilynProducer: JD FerrellPresented by: THE Modern Podcast Network and Themodern.fm
