A woman told me she wasn't focusing on her fitness right now because she had to fix her hormones first. I couldn't let that one go.
We're teaching a whole generation of high-achieving women to slap a clinical label on everything. Deregulation. Inflammation. Cortisol. Gut dysbiosis. It feels like progress, but naming it and fixing it are not the same thing, and every new label pulls you further from the b...
You have probably asked yourself the exact question I hear from women every single week. Is my goal even realistic? I recorded this episode because that one question is keeping so many of you stuck with either no goal at all or a goal so small it barely moves you.
Here is the truth I unpack: it is almost never the goal that is unrealistic. It is the strategy you are using and the timeline you are giving ...
A professional dancer brought her two-year-old to her own presentation because the toddler threw a tantrum and she could not say no.

In this Unfiltered and Unscripted episode Coach Jen and I are talking about boundaries. Not the patria...

Have you ever caught yourself saying any of these? It's not that bad. I'm probably the fittest of my friends. I look good for my age. I don't mean to be vain.
If you have, this episode is about what those words actually mean - and what they are slowly costing you.
In this episode, I break down why it's not that bad is where extraordinary women go to live a mediocre existence, and why the most dangerous pa...
She had tried a trainer for two to three years, Weight Watchers, tracking apps, and six week challenges. Every single time she made progress and fell right back. When she reached out she was already considering medication - not because she wanted a quick fix but because she genuinely could not see another option left.
Walking into the program her biggest fear was not that it would fail. It was that she w...
Part two of our member Q&A is here - and this round gets into the stuff nobody wants to admit out loud.

The perfect time to start is not coming. The kids will always be off school. Work will always get busy. There will always be a trip, a holiday, a reason to wait.
In this episode I am breaking down the three things I would stop doing immediately if I wanted to feel confident and comfortable in a bikini this summer - because summer is a lot closer than you think and the cycle of waiting has to stop somewhe...

Jen has tried everything - Weight Watchers, macros, keto, Atkins, every fitness app on the market - for years without anything lasting.
