Great podcast
Jen is so practical and knowledgeable. Her podcast is informative and inspiring. I am continually learning and amazed at the information and insight that comes from this podcast. There should be more Jen’s in this world.
The ultimate new best friend/mentor who you actually listen to about your health
I have fallen in love with this podcast (and Jen) as I listen to her everyday to and from work on my daily commute to get positive vibes and actionable health tips that I find myself almost unconsciously implementing!
She is practical and knowledgable and offers workable tips.
She is honest and cuts through all the little mind tricks we like to play on ourselves and I feel really positive about my own health journey as a result!
Thanks Jen!
I follow Jen on Facebook/ Instagram and now across to the podcast! Listening just makes me feel hopeful and I love picking up the tips and tricks along the way!
