Hope You're Well

I'm back. And this time it's different.I've been away for a while — and in this episode I'm getting honest about why. Where I actually am, who I'm becoming, and what this show is turning into. This isn't a polished comeback. It's a real conversation about identity, reinvention, and what happens when the life you built stops feeling like yours.I talk about the in-between season — building something impressive, walking away, and being genuinely shocked that years later I still haven't "arrived." I open up about becoming a mom in the middle of an identity crisis, and why this second pregnancy feels so completely different from my first.I share what my life actually looks like now — chickens, quiet mornings, faith, slow living, and finding real fulfillment in the small things. And I get practical too getting back into the gym at 25 weeks pregnant, the one morning habit I never skip, and what finally made me put my phone down.And I talk about what Hope You're Well actually is now. A life show driven by curiosity, real conversations, and the pursuit of actually feeling good for me and for you. If you're also in an in-between, trying to figure it all out in your mid 30s, welcome home. SIGN UP FOR THE MORNING WATER CHALLENGE HEREUse code JENNA to save and enter! We begin June 22nd.

No one talks about so many of the most important parts of motherhood. The quiet guilt. The second‑guessing. The accidents you couldn't avoid.In this episode, we’re unpacking the mom guilt nobody warned us about, the self-doubt that can follow everyday parenting moments. We unpack perfectionism in parenting, redefining what a “good mom” actually means, navigating boundaries, breaking generational cycles without erasing the good, and the pressure to be fully present while still wanting ambition, autonomy, and peace.This conversation is for moms in their 30s and 40s who are trying to raise children without losing themselves. It's an honest conversation about motherhood and all that comes with it.
