In this episode, Jenna Marilyn invites you into her idea journal — the place where her curiosities, quotes, and sparks of wisdom live. Through laughter, tangents, and peppermint tea (with a sore throat in tow), she explores what it means to interrupt your inner critic and call forward your inner ally instead.

From reflections on solitude and shifting your identity, to tending your “soil” before planting seeds, Jenna reminds us that growth is less about perfection and more about environment, intention, and the stories we tell ourselves. You’ll hear why doing the things you love shouldn’t be reserved for “every once in a while,” and why neutrality — not judgment — is the key to change.

This episode is equal parts journal entry, pep talk, and reminder that while self-growth and reflection are important, they aren’t the whole story. Don’t forget to laugh, play, and let yourself enjoy the ride.
