Going There with Jen Jen Vertanen

Join Sarah Von Bargen from Yes and Yes and me as we talk about how you can do everything right and follow all the rules and still find yourself on a life's journey full of plot twists and turns.

We chat about how Sarah got started with her popular blog, the power of habits, dancing with Richard Simmons (yes - that Richard Simmons) and what going face down in a bowl of pizza rolls might be trying to tell you.

And if you're finding yourself fairly checked-out and are ready to check all the eff way back in? Let's explore if coaching is a good fit for you! My tell-it-like-it-is mama-bearness may be just the thing you need to make the progress towards a life you love the 💩 out of.

Join Susan Shehata and me as we chat about the intersections of race, culture, and trauma.

The first half of this episode has us talking about the many healing modalities Susan employs including space work, breathwork, and core story work in which she’s developed her own process including the simple system she’s created to identify our stories around worth, lovability, belonging, safety, competency, power, and freedom and how those core stories become our subconscious operating system driving how we show up in the world.

The second half? Well, you'll just have to tune in...

Join Paula Jenkins and me to discuss how we all go through hard times but it’s finding your way through it and to the other side – knowing you will battle your way out of it and that you’re going to be ok.

Oftentimes it’s just a battle to feel like you can access joy but that doesn’t mean you give up trying to find it…to feel it.

But it’s not just about joy. It’s also about grief and feeling every feeling in-between. Choosing the path that leads to love even when the options range from shitty to shittier…there’s always still a choice and you can always choose love.

cw: trauma, abuse including that of a minor
We can all agree…trauma sucks. And while we all wished it was different…trauma happens far more often than many of us even know.
If you’ve experienced trauma, you get the funny ways it shows up in your life from what triggers you to how you feel in your body. And it never goes away…you just find ways to work with it.
Eunice Brownlee and I dive into this and so much more in this raw + vulnerable story of trauma, resilience, and hope.

How do you find motivation when it’s hard to get out of the bed and not just because the bed is super cozy with luxuriously soft sheets and a down comforter that’s just the right weight – you know – not too heavy but light enough to keep you warm? But because life feels heavy and you’re constantly in the grind going nowhere fast?
That’s exactly the question Lisa Orkin and I explore in this week’s #goingtherewithjen. It’s one thing to be young and have your entire life ahead of you to figure your shit out…but entirely different when you’re 57.
