The world can cut us down in subtle or grandeur ways, but only if we aren't in control of our emotions, and our body's response to those emotions. In today's episode, Jenny gives us some great pointers and places to start for building that emotional control as well as maintaining it. Looking within ourselves for answers instead of solely relying on others can be one of our greatest assets if we so choose, but it's still always good to have a truly supportive tribe around us. NEW...
Parenting can be a difficult task, and that can be seen by anyone - with or without children. It can be even more difficult when we ourselves have not received the parenting we needed when we were in that child's shoes; when we have not received that love and support that we may have needed so desperately. In today's training, Jenny offers us a gentle approach to reparenting ourselves so we receive that reassuring hold around us when we need it most, and can continue giving ourselves as we he...
In today's episode of Shed the Shame, Jenny discusses how taking care of yourself can sometimes do more harm than good when we overload ourselves with too many things at the wrong times and set impossible expectations for ourselves. We start off with a sweet and simple gesture to give ourselves what we need most and to be our best, but may soon find that we are overwhelmed with yet another checklist of responsibilities that overtake our time and energy, leaving us feeling defeated. So how can...
In past episodes, Jenny has talked about practicing self compassion and ways that we can do that. But there are other areas in our journey that go along with that like bread and butter - and she's here to give us the lo-down. Topics like negative self talk, invalidating ourselves, and being unaware of how our body responds to our environment are all obstacles in our path to mental and physical wellness. In today's episode, Jenny brings our awareness to how we can overcome those obstacle...

In today's episode of Shed The Shame, Jenny teaches us how to turn perceived flaws and weaknesses into some of our greatest strengths. One of the things that society is best at is teaching us to hide our flaws, to be ashamed of them, and focus on avoiding them. But today, we learn to embrace them, to switch perspectives on where they can be useful, and figuring out their opposing and corresponding strengths. Jenny also encourages us to seek conversation with others in figuring out what we are...
In this episode, Jenny discusses how the brain tries to protect us by coming up with 'reasons' we feel we can't succeed or achieve their goals, but those 'reasons' are just negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that stem from past experiences, voices we've internalized, and fears around change or potential failure. Jenny helps us understand why negative thoughts exist so we can shift our perspectives, build belief in ourselves, and develop the motivation to achieve our dreams despite challen...
In today's training, Jenny discusses the difficulties and obstacles that arise during our emotional healing journeys.

Fears are important to pay attention to, and equally important to sooth. What's a little more difficult yet equally rewarding is being able to let go or overcome those fears and allowing them to inspire you - allowing them to get you excited for the road ahead of you to reaching your goals and dreams! Any step towards this - no matter how big or small - is still a successful step. In this episode, Jenny walks us through her recent trip to Scotland and how she worked herself through some...
In previous episodes, Jenny has talked about celebrating ourselves and our lives because it’s generally a healthy thing to do. But did you know, one of the ‘side effects’ of celebrating yourself and your accomplishments is increased resilience and confidence? Those are some pretty nice ‘side effects’ to have, don’t you think?! In today’s episode, Jenny teaches us some of the strategies we can take to figure out where our weaknesses lie in order to strengthen them, in order to strengthen our r...
There's a pretty standard list of boxes that society pushes us to check off in order to look like we're passing as happy and successful; you have a job, you have a family, you have a house...ta da! You're happy and successful, right? ...Maybe not quite. While those things are great to have, so many of us want more - we KNOW there is more out there for us! Some of us want to check things off our bucket list, some of us want to pursue our hobbies or passions and build them into careers. But we'...
We've talked about the delegation of physical house chores before...but what about the mental work load? The society we grew up in has, for a long time, expected women to be the ones to keep the household together both physical chores and mental chores like keeping the kids on schedule, scheduling parties or family plans, appointments, and anything in between. But our society is changing, it is evolving, and it's becoming more and more exhausting and unbalanced between the members of the hous...
Not everyone’s trauma is the same - trauma is a spectrum, whether it happens in childhood or adulthood. Trauma that we leave out of our control can cause a multitude of other health issues, spiral our lives out of balance and into darkness, and dwindle our relationships with ourselves and others. That’s where Jenny comes in and shows you that there’s a way out of that darkness, there’s a way to shed the shame, the guilt, the feelings of unworthiness, and how to build back trust in ourselves a...
AWARENESS is key when it comes to emotional self-mastery. Being aware of your reaction to your surroundings, and to events both in the present AND the past can help you break out of emotionally unstable patterns now, and in the future. Not only will Jenny help you break out of those unstable patterns, but also teach us how to stop people pleasing, how to process our traumas and understand others so we can live our lives on the right path to happiness. Find me on Social Media: Fa...
It’s been programmed into us from older generations that life has to be all work, and little or no play until we’re 65 and retired, and too old to do the things we wanted to when we were younger. We’ve been programmed to think that we have to choose one thing and one thing only, even if that thing makes us miserable! If we’re miserable, we’re supposed to push through it until we essentially can’t anymore…and then we see our health declining and our emotional well being deteriorating, and we g...
