Send Jen a Text Message I sat frozen at a table full of women cutting out pictures of diamond rings and vacation homes — and I couldn't put a single thing on my page. Not because I didn't want nice things. But because somewhere deep inside of me, grief had quietly convinced me that wanting things was dangerous. In this solo episode, I'm sharing one of the most defining moments of my life — the story of a vision board exercise at a business conference that changed everything. I was there for t...
Send Jen a Text Message In this honest and layered episode, I’m talking about something that doesn’t get said enough: pregnancy after loss is not a fresh start. It might look like one from the outside. Two pink lines. A new due date. Another chance. But if you’ve lived through stillbirth, you know it doesn’t feel clean or simple. It feels complicated. It feels terrifying. It feels hopeful and heartbreaking at the exact same time. I walk you through the myths that surround pregnancy after loss...

Send Jen a Text Message Parenting after loss is a whole different level of hard. You’re grieving a baby you don’t get to raise… and at the same time, you’re expected to keep showing up for the kids you already have. Get them dressed. Feed them. Play with them. Be patient. Be present. Be okay. And if you’re anything like I was, that pressure comes with a crushing amount of guilt. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about mom guilt after baby loss—especially when you’re parenting older childr...
Send Jen a Text Message In this episode, I’m joined by Sabrina Weschler, co-founder of Cyclisity and niece of Toni Weschler, author of the groundbreaking book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. We’re diving into why understanding our bodies matters more than ever and how the knowledge in Toni's book (now celebrating its 30th anniversary!) inspired not only Sabrina's own fertility journey but also the creation of an app that puts the power of body literacy in your hands. Sabrina shares how a din...
Send Jen a Text Message Today I’m talking about the version of self-care no one talks about: the version that feels impossible when you're angry with your body. When you feel like it failed you. When taking care of it feels like a betrayal. After losing my twins, I didn’t want to nourish or nurture my body—I wanted to punish it. I felt disconnected from it, even disgusted by it. And I know I’m not the only one who’s felt that way. So this episode is for you if: You feel betrayed by your body....
Send Jen a Text Message New Year’s Eve. It’s supposed to be a celebration. A fresh start. A clean slate. But when your baby died this year, or any year, stepping into January feels more like betrayal than a new beginning. I remember this feeling so well. The pressure to toast at midnight, make resolutions, and somehow “move on” with everyone else. But all I could think was… how do I go into a new year without my baby? In this episode, I’m talking about that strange ache so many of us carry in...
Send Jen a Text Message It’s Christmas Day. And whether you celebrate or not, this day has a weight to it that’s impossible to ignore. The quiet feels louder. The joy around you feels sharper. And the absence of your baby feels overwhelming. Today’s episode is not about fixing your grief or making today feel “okay.” It’s about sitting with you in it. Letting you know that you’re not wrong for how you feel, that your baby is remembered, and that there is room for all of it — anger,...

Send Jen a Text Message Have you ever felt guilty… and couldn’t even explain why?
