Description

Welcome to Vulnerability is Cool. I’m Jenna Jarvis, and this is your space to get real, get raw, and maybe laugh a little along the way.

We’re all about peeling back the layers and celebrating the unfiltered truth of what it means to be human. I’m passionate about showing that we’re so much more similar than different and reminding you that you’re never alone in this journey. Join me for honest conversations with therapists, coaches, and everyday people as we dive into life’s ups, downs, and everything in between.

Let’s connect, share, and embrace our messy, beautiful humanity, because there’s magic in every story !

One year after his first raw, honest conversation on the pod, Hunter Clark returns, this time solo. We go deeper into the shame, the shadows, and the soul work that healing from porn addiction really takes.Hunter shares how plant medicine cracked him open, why intimacy means into-me-you-see, and what happens when you stop treating symptoms and start tending to the root. From a fear of being “too much” to the quiet ache of trying to escape yourself through screens, we talk about the dragon of desire, sexual transmutation, and learning to dance with life instead of running from it.This episode is a permission slip for the men who are trying to heal, and the women who love them.Hunter Clark Instagram
I’ve been sitting with this phrase a lot lately: suppression equals depression. And the more I think about it… the more it just makes sense.Not just in a mental health way, but in the quiet ways we abandon ourselves. This episode isn’t about fixing anything. It’s just about being honest with yourself. About noticing where you’re pressing yourself down and what might open up if you stopped. We’re talking people pleasing, nervous system shutdowns, that stuck feeling that sneaks in when we say yes too many times instead of no. And the little moments that could be your release valve: a walk, a cry, a dance alone in your room. If you’ve felt off lately but can’t explain why, I hope this episode helps you come back to you.
We’re sitting down together me (Jenna) + one of my oldest friends, Josh Crowder and diving into what it actually means to date yourself. Like, not just the cute insta brunches, but the hard conversations, the self‑honesty, the body love, the sacredness of your own energy.We talk celibacy, sexual transmutation (that idea of redirecting your sexual energy into your life, your art, your healing) and how the relationship you have with you sets the foundation for every other relationship in your life.If you’ve ever felt unseen by yourself, or like you’re giving away parts of you that you don’t even know how to reclaim, this one is for you.The Good Intentions ClubJoshVulnerability is Cool
In this episode, I’m sharing where I’m at post-ayahuasca and post-burning man, two back-to-back experiences that cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect. It’s not a full recap. More like a soft landing. I talk through the love blocks I’ve been trying to heal, the visions that shook me, the chaos in my head, and what it’s been teaching me about surrender, safety, and being seen as more than just a body. I talk about:— what ayahuasca showed me about love, worthiness, and protection— the cage of people pleasing I didn’t know I was still living in— the masculine energy that came out of me during ceremony— visions of the love I’ve always dreamed of and why I still couldn’t fully open the door to it— becoming my own dream partner (for real this time)— celibacy, sexual transmutation, and reclaiming my energy— burning man being the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced— learning how to actually surrender, not just say I’m going to— why I’m not dating right now— how my love wounds and money blocks are weirdly the same📍healed girl fall is happening oct 11th from 4–10pm in highland, utah.ecstatic dance, breathwork, yummy dinner, real connection.if you’re craving something soft, real, and life-giving, i’d love to see you there.https://vulnerabilityiscool.com/products/%F0%9F%8C%B8-healed-girl-fall-a-women-s-day-retreat💫 join the vulnerability is cool communityweekly live calls, new moon ceremonies, meditation drops every wednesday, and a group chat full of the best girls i know.this is the space if you’re ready to go deeper.https://www.skool.com/vulnerability-is-cool-4193/about?ref=be5b5116a9144eea84ac60512f613995
This one’s raw, reflective, and exactly where I’m at right now. Two days out from sitting with ayahuasca again, I share how this round of prep feels completely different than last time, softer, more grounded, more me.I talk about:Why last time felt like I was training for the spiritual Olympics 🥇How this time I’m leaning into trust instead of controlThe intentions I’m setting around money, boundaries, and loving my now selfMy healing journey with OCD + plant medicineUpdates on the Vulnerability is Cool community, Healed Girl Summer, and my upcoming Feminine Embodiment courseMostly, this episode is about remembering who you are right now, before the next version, before the “after” photo, before everything you think you need to become.Because you are already magic.🌿 Affirmations from this episode:I am open to receiving clarity, healing, and abundance.I honor and love the version of me that exists right now.Every breath brings me closer to the highest, most authentic version of me.Take a deep breath with me.

Send us a textThis one’s raw, powerful, and full of the kind of truths we usually try to avoid.We talk about resistance, what it looks like, what it feels like, and why it always shows up right before your next level. I share stories from my life in Bali, the relationship that almost broke me, navigating grief, saying no with love, and finally learning how to trust the discomfort instead of run from it.This isn’t about being fearless.It’s about staying. With yourself. Through the chaos. Through the expansion.It’s about leaning into the resistance, even when every part of you wants to bolt.I get into nervous system rewiring, the actual neuroscience behind change, solo travel, standing up for yourself in friendships, and finding peace through deep acceptance. We go all the way in.If this episode stirred something up in you, good. Sit with it. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.Also !

Send us a textIn today’s solo, we’re pulling the curtain back on the phrase “you teach people how to treat you” what it actually means, why it’s not your fault, and how to finally stop outsourcing your worth.We’re talking dating dynamics, friendship shifts, nervous system sabotage, and the slow-boiling pain of people pleasing. I share some raw updates on my own health, the perfectionism spiral, and what happens when you start respecting yourself so deeply… the world mirrors it back.This is about remembering your power. Not by being cold, but by being clear. Let this be your permission slip to stop apologizing, start honoring your truth, and walk away from anything that dims your light.We’re practicing all of this inside the Vulnerability School Community, now live, including the 21-Day Realignment Reset starting June 2. Come join us if you’re ready to raise the bar on how you treat you.Come home to yourself. The door is open.https://www.skool.com/vulnerabilityiscool/about?ref=be5b5116a9144eea84ac60512f613995🌀 Your needs matter. You matter. And not everyone gets to walk through your light.@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textThis one was... a lot. I have so many thoughts about the whole situation. This is the raw and real story behind my episode of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. From a 4th of July river trip to reality TV, here’s what actually happened between Dakota and me.I talk about what it felt like to be gaslit and gently love bombed. What it means to be the “other girl” without even knowing. The texts, the timelines, the moment my intuition whispered, “bb… no.”And  I talk about Taylor, what it felt like to finally sit across from her, woman to woman, and realize we’d both been caught in something we didn’t sign up for. There’s a lot more to the story than what made it on TV.If you’re here from the show, hi. Stay a while. You might’ve come for the drama, but I hope you leave with something that hits deeper.And if you’re looking for a space to land, cry, reset, and remember who you are, my online community is open. 🌿🦋🌸✨ You can join us here: https://shorturl.at/Egc9O@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textThis one’s soft, messy, honest, and exactly what I needed to say.  We talk about the art of letting go.  Not in the Pinterest quote kind of way,  but in the actual lived, raw, confusing, beautiful way.I tell you what I’m currently letting go of, what’s breaking my heart open, and how I’m learning (still learning) to trust that there’s more waiting on the other side of surrender. I share the "Let Them" theory, how to cut energetic cords, and what it feels like to live in the goo phase, when you’re no longer who you were, but still not fully who you’re becoming.I also share the reason I created the 21-Day Realignment Reset ! A soft, sacred, cozy container for women who are ready to stop fixing and start returning. It’s not a challenge. It’s a coming home.This one’s for anyone who feels like they’re somewhere in the in-between, craving clarity, softness, and a deeper sense of trust in themselves and in what’s next.✨ 21-DAY REALIGNMENT RESET STARTS MAY 19thIt’s $44. 21 days.

I realign.→ I am not broken. I am becoming.@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textWelcome back to the Vulnerability is Cool podcast. In today’s solo episode, I’m breaking down something that made everything finally make sense for me.I had always heard the term “highly sensitive person” growing up, but I didn’t really get it until I was sitting in couples therapy with my ex and the therapist said, “You’re a highly sensitive person.” I was like… wait, what?Since then, I’ve been obsessed with understanding what this means and how it affects our nervous system, our relationships, our mental health, and the way we show up in the world. If you’re someone who feels everything deeply, who notices the shift in someone’s tone, who gets overwhelmed in crowds, or who just wants to understand yourself better… this episode is for you.This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding your nervous system, protecting your energy, and realizing that your sensitivity is not the problem, it’s your power.In this episode:What it really means to be a highly sensitive person (HSP)The brain science behind HSPsHow this shows up in relationships, friendships, and daily lifeWhy overstimulation and anxiety hit differently for HSPsHow to protect your frequency and stop people pleasingWhat to do when you feel like you're "too much"How to actually thrive as a sensitive personThe practices that help me stay grounded and come home to myselfManifesting love, safe relationships, and the future version of youAnd why it’s safe to just be youAffirmations to say with me:I am safe to be meI accept all that is meant for meI show up in my frequencyThis one’s a warm blanket for the soul. And if you’re a highly sensitive person… welcome home. :')@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textThis episode is all about manifestation, the kind that happens when you shift your thoughts, tune into your own frequency, and actually become the version of you who already has the life you’re calling in.We talk about: – Why “I am” statements actually work – What it means to stay in your own energy (especially in the morning) – How your thoughts literally change what you see and experience – Creating a vision board that feels like you – And why tuning into yourself more often changes everythingIf you’re in a season of wanting more (more clarity, more alignment, more movement in your life), this episode is for you.Say it with me: I don’t chase. I align. I don’t beg. I embody. I don’t wait. I become.Let’s get into it. 🌞2025 vision boardMagic partner playlist @vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textWelcome back to the Vulnerability is Cool podcast—recording live from Bali, baby. This episode is all about choosing yourself, fully, unapologetically, and without waiting for permission. We dive into what it really means to believe that you are highly favored, by the universe, by life itself. It’s not about luck; it’s about stepping into the energy that everything is working for you, not against you.I talk about:How growing up Mormon made me believe I was "highly favored of the Lord"—and why I still carry that belief, just in a whole new wayWhat it’s been like starting my yoga teacher training in the Bali jungle (yes, it’s magical)Reprogramming the mind to stop expecting the worst and start calling in actual good thingsWhy stepping into your power isn’t just a mindset shift—it’s a whole new way of moving through lifeAnd honestly? This episode is your sign. Stop waiting. Stop shrinking. Stop doubting if the life you want is meant for you. It is. But you have to choose it.Book I mentioned: A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textOn this weeks episode I am sitting in a random corner of the Denver airport recording this because I refuse to let inconsistency win. Today, we’re talking about the victim mindset. How it’s keeping you small, keeping you stuck, and keeping you from living the life you actually want. And trust me, I say this with love, because I had to learn this the hard way.In this episode, we’re diving into:The exact moment my therapist looked me dead in the eyes and said, “Jenna, when are you gonna stop playing the victim?” (and how that slapped me into reality).How to stop waiting for life to get easier and actually get stronger instead.The subtle ways you might be keeping yourself stuck (dating the same toxic people, complaining about the same sh*t, blaming everyone but yourself).The mindset shifts that actually changed my life and how you can start making them today.And because I am in my affirmation era: "I am exactly where I am meant to be." Say it with me.This episode is a love letter and a wake-up call all in one. If you're ready to stop feeling like life is happening to you and start realizing how much control you actually have, this one’s for you.@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo

Send us a textThis week, I sat down with Gabby and Laurel, the magical duo behind Lost Girls, to talk about their journeys, their friendship, and how they’re turning trauma into triumph. From childhood grief and religious deconstruction to building a life and business rooted in creativity and connection, these two share it all—unfiltered and raw.We dive into:✨ The unexpected magic of manifestation (and how Gabby literally manifested her husband).✨ What it really means to heal through play and creativity.✨ Surviving loss, setting boundaries, and the power of showing up for yourself.✨ Why friendships deserve just as much care and accountability as romantic relationships.This episode is equal parts heart-wrenching, hilarious, and healing—think bagels, channeling sessions, and a sprinkle of Harry Potter delusion. The Lost Girls are here to remind you that life doesn’t have to be so serious, and that healing can (and should) be fun.@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textThis week, I’m flying solo and we’re diving into all things New Year. But don’t worry, this isn’t about “New Year, New Me” pressure. Nope. This is about realignment, self-love, and stepping even deeper into the truest version of YOU.In this episode, we’re celebrating progress—acknowledging how far we’ve come, the challenges that shaped us, and who we’ve become over the past year. I’m sharing my own reflections, wins, and lessons while guiding you through journal prompts and mindset shifts to make the new year feel light, expansive, and exciting—not heavy and overwhelming.✨ Plus, we’re talking:- The neuroscience of setting realistic goals and why small steps lead to BIG transformations.- How to focus on nurturing the best parts of yourself instead of “fixing” what’s “wrong.”- Affirmations to carry you into the new year with confidence, ease, and joy.🌟 Take a deep breath, reflect on your magic, and let’s step into this new chapter with intention, alignment, and love.Affirmations from this episode:I am proud of how far I’ve come and excited for what’s next.I release the pressure to be perfect and embrace the beauty of progress.My goals align with my values, not society’s expectations.I trust the timing of my life and honor the pace of my growth.This year, I choose ease over pressure, alignment over perfection.@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textThis week on the Vulnerability is Cool podcast, we’re slowing things down with a guided holiday meditation to help you protect your peace. The holidays can be beautiful but also chaotic, so this is your moment to reconnect with yourself, anchor into your light, and remember: you are allowed to prioritize you.Through intentional breathwork, a warm visualization, and powerful EFT tapping affirmations, we’ll reclaim the joy of the season on our own terms. Because the holidays are yours too.✨ Affirmations from this meditation:Even though the holidays can be intense, I honor my boundaries and protect my energy.It’s safe to take care of myself first.I’m allowed to say no without guilt.I don’t have to carry what is not mine.I give myself permission to rest.My peace is non-negotiable.I stand strong in my boundaries.I am grounded.

Send us a textThis week, we’re serving up festive chaos with your most unhinged holiday stories. Jenna Jarvis is joined by everyone’s favorite bestie, Abby Orchard, and we’re diving into everything from butt plugs with tails to toxic in-laws and anxiety-inducing family dinners. We’re also unpacking the absolute insanity of the Luigi Mangione case (because why not sprinkle in a little true crime for the holidays?).If you’ve ever looked at matching pajama photos and thought, “WTF is wrong with my family?” – spoiler alert: you’re not alone. The holidays aren’t always Hallmark moments, and we’re here to make you feel seen, validated, and maybe laugh through the dysfunction.So set your boundaries, dodge the drama, and hide the butt plugs. ‘Tis the season for survival.In the name of mental health, amen. 🫶@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
Send us a textTwo years after leaving the church and one year of being open about it, I’m reflecting on what this journey has really been like. In this solo episode, I’m sharing how I’ve navigated unlearning old beliefs, discovering what spirituality means to me now, and replacing "light with light" in ways that feel deeply personal and authentic.I’ll talk about how the movie Heretic brought back so many familiar feelings from my deconstruction, the practices that have helped me feel more connected to myself (think yoga, journaling, and meditation), and why showing up with confidence was the game-changer in conversations with my family.This episode is about finding your truth, owning it without apology, and creating a life that reflects what matters to you.Affirmations from this episode:I trust myself to create a life that reflects my truth.I replace fear with curiosity and control with trust.I am grateful for the light I carry forward.I am whole, complete, and connected to my higher self.@vulnerabilityiscool@jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.comThank you for listening, ilyxoxo
