  1. Where and Why Do We Give Up Our Power?

    2025-12-11

    Where and Why Do We Give Up Our Power?

    This is my last episode of the year (see you in 2026!), and I'm getting real with you about something that's been weighing on me: how and why we give up our power. After a recent incident that left me asking "why didn't I just walk away?", I did some deep reflection on why we still feel compelled to answer pointed questions, keep the peace at all costs, and put ourselves in uncomfortable situations just to avoid rocking the boat. Here's what I know after 56 years: we've been conditioned since youth to not speak up, to keep the peace, and to feel like we owe people our opinions, answers, and presence. But here's the truth: we're too f’ing old for this! This episode isn't about blaming anyone else or burning bridges. It's about recognizing where we're losing our power and understanding why, so we can do things differently moving forward. Whether it's at the holiday table, in friendships, at work, or even in our marriages (yes, I'm referencing that recent New York Magazine article on women quietly quitting their marriages), it's time to reclaim our power! Listen if you want to: Understand why you feel compelled to stay in uncomfortable situations instead of walking awayLearn how to gracefully reclaim your power without burning bridges or blowing up familiesGet a year-end reflection assignment that will help you identify where you've been giving up your powerDiscover why changing relationship dynamics is so hard (and why that's okay)Start 2026 ready to stand up for yourself with grace and balanceJen Says: YNTFO to walk away!

    How to Trust Yourself, Access Your Intuition and Make Powerful Decisions with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams

    This conversation with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams completely blew my mind, and I know it's going to do the same for you. We're diving deep into intuitive intelligence, which is basically intuition at its highest, most refined level. Think of it like taking that gut instinct we all have and elevating it to expert status. Ricc-Janei breaks down how to actually access that inner knowing, especially when we're making those big midlife decisions that feel overwhelming. She's giving us the real tools to move from gut instinct to full-blown intuitive mastery, and this is exactly what we need right now. The truth is, we're all running around completely dysregulated, making decisions from a place of stress and fear (guilty!), and wondering why we can't hear our inner wisdom. Ricci-Jane explains why fear is actually intuition's messenger and how our nervous system fitness is the key to unlocking our personal authority. This episode is packed with practical tools like the 4 S's (stillness, silence, solitude, slowness) and her game-changing Micro Method. This is required listening, my friends! You Need to Listen If You Want To: Learn how to distinguish between your intuition and trauma responses when making big decisionsDiscover the 4 S's practice that creates nervous system fitness and opens your intuitive channelsUnderstand why fear is actually your intuition's messenger Master the 7-minute Micro Method that rewires your brain to release subconscious fear programsGive yourself permission to slow down and wait for the right time to act, even in our hustle-obsessed worldDr. Ricci-Jane Adams Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to change your mind about yourself!

    Best Of: How to Reclaim Your Pleasure with Gabriella Espinosa

    This Best Of replay features Gabriella Espinosa, a women's empowerment and sexuality coach, and she's about to shatter everything you think you know about pleasure after 40. Gabriella went from high-powered PR executive to burned-out mom who completely lost touch with her sexual self - until perimenopause hit and she realized that woman was still in there, just buried under years of putting everyone else first. Her journey back to herself led her to become a certified midlife empowerment and sexuality coach, and now she's on a mission to help women reclaim what's rightfully ours: our pleasure. If you've ever felt like your libido packed up and left without a forwarding address, or if the thought of intimacy feels more like another item on your to-do list, this conversation will change everything. Gabriella breaks down the science of why women's desire works differently than men's (spoiler: we need those pleasure pathways awakened first), plus she gives practical steps you can start tonight. From the simple joy of wearing pink lipstick to more intimate self-exploration practices, she proves that pleasure truly has no expiration date - and reclaiming it might be the most radical act of self-care you can do. Key Takeaways: The desire revelation: Why women need arousal BEFORE desire kicks in (and how this changes everything about intimacy)Pleasure pathway activation: Simple daily practices to reconnect with your body and expand your capacity for pleasureThe menopause reality check: Practical solutions for dryness, pain, and the physical changes that can disconnect us from our sexualitySelf-touch without shame: How exploring your own body becomes the foundation for better intimacy with yourself and your partnerThe ripple effect: Why prioritizing your pleasure isn't selfish - it's the energy source that feeds every other area of your lifeGabriella Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to have great sex!
