    81. The Mom Guilt Nobody Warned Us About with Jess Glazer

    No one talks about so many of the most important parts of motherhood. The quiet guilt. The second‑guessing. The accidents you couldn't avoid. In this episode, we’re unpacking the mom guilt nobody warned us about, the self-doubt that can follow everyday parenting moments. We unpack perfectionism in parenting, redefining what a “good mom” actually means, navigating boundaries, breaking generational cycles without erasing the good, and the pressure to be fully present while still wanting ambition, autonomy, and peace. This conversation is for moms in their 30s and 40s who are trying to raise children without losing themselves. It's an honest conversation about motherhood and all that comes with it.

    80. Business Closures, Motherhood, & Identity Collapse- The Seasons No One Prepares You For With Jess Glazer

    The title for this episode very much could be: The Things You Only Say Aloud To Your Best Friend. This is the first episode of many to come, that I sit down with one of my best friends to just talk about the things we only say to each other through a 20-minute voice note. You know... those messages you try to keep short, but before you know it, you’re spilling your heart and soul into the phone, hoping she’ll know exactly what to say on the other side. The conversations you wish you could have with more people about the realest parts of life. From what life is really like on the other side of shutting your once very successful company down, to the parts of motherhood people are struggling with but not saying aloud, to the complete whirlwind it is to let go of who you once were but have no idea who you are becoming. This is a real, raw, honest conversation about life in your mid-30s to early 40s, when your life looks nothing like you planned, but somehow you couldn’t imagine it any other way. This is the kind of conversation that makes you feel less alone in the thoughts you’ve been carrying quietly. The ones that only come out when you’re talking to someone who knows every version of you... past, present, and the one still unfolding. If you’re in a season of transition… if you’ve outgrown parts of your old life but haven’t quite landed in the next one yet… if you’ve found yourself wondering, is anyone else feeling this way? This episode is for you. Pull up a chair. Put your headphones in. And consider this your reminder that you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and if you desperately want to have these conversations in a voice note at 10pm, join us.

    79. Late-Diagnosed ADHD in Women: Why You’re High-Functioning but Secretly Exhausted with Sara Kelly

    In this episode, I sit down with ADHD expert, coach and author Sara Kelly to explore what late-diagnosed ADHD in women really looks like especially for those who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel chronically exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected on the inside. We talk about the often-overlooked symptoms of ADHD in women, including masking, overcompensating, emotional burnout, and the quiet erosion of self-trust that can happen after years of self-blame. We also dive into the science of dopamine and motivation why energy and focus can feel like a rollercoaster, and what’s actually happening in the ADHD brain. This conversation is equal parts validating and practical. We cover mindset shifts, self-talk, and lifestyle changes that help women work with their brains instead of constantly fighting them and what healing and thriving can look like after diagnosis (or even just suspicion). Sara also shares insights from her newly released book, The ADHD Awakening: A Woman’s Guide to Thriving After Diagnosis, which is out now and has received a five-star review from Indy Reader. It’s a powerful resource for women seeking clarity, compassion, and a path forward. Whether you have officially had a late diagnosis of ADHD or you just have always suspected you may have it... this episode will make you feel seen, heard and deeply understood so you truly can thrive in your mind and life.

    78. How to End the Year Feeling Proud (Even If You Didn’t Hit Your Goals)

    As the year comes to a close, so many of us fall right into the self development trap and rush straight into setting new goals without ever stopping to process what we’ve lived through and when we do so, we're missing out on what this life is really all about. In this episode of Hope You’re Well, I’m walking you through how to actually reflect on the year in a way that feels grounding, honest, and healing not performative or driven by pressure. We talk about why goal-setting culture often skips the most important step, how to acknowledge both the hard and beautiful moments of the year, and why reflection isn’t about “doing better,” but about honoring who you’ve become. I share how I personally reflect on the year and what it's taught me about mental health, emotional regulation, motherhood, my body, relationships, and work. This episode is an invitation to slow down, recognize your growth (even if it doesn’t look the way you expected), and step into the new year feeling proud, grounded, and clear without needing to prove anything. In this episode, we explore: How to reflect on the year without shame or pressure Why skipping reflection keeps us stuck in the same cycles Letting go of goal-setting culture that tells you to erase the past Mental, emotional, and physical lessons from the year Redefining what “living well” actually means How to close a year with intention instead of urgency This episode is part of a larger conversation about mental wellness, intentional living, and how to actually live well mentally, emotionally, and physically in this year and beyond.

    77. I Think I’m Addicted to My Phone and Here’s What I’m Doing About It

    This feels vulnerable to admit, but I realized something I couldn’t ignore anymore: I think I'm addicted to my phone. And before you tune out thinking addiction only applies to drugs or alcohol, this episode is about phone addiction, social media addiction, dopamine, and the quiet ways scrolling can take over our lives without us even noticing. Addiction runs deep in my family, and because of that, I’ve spent years learning to recognize it - not just in substances, but in behaviors. When I got really honest with myself, I saw all the classic signs: loss of control, craving, using my phone to numb emotions, choosing scrolling over connection, movement, creativity, and rest… even when I didn’t want to. In this episode, I share: Why high-functioning, socially accepted addictions (like phones and social media) are the hardest to recognizeThe clinical and neuroscience definitions of addiction (and how phone addiction fits them perfectly)How social media can slowly replace emotional regulation, connection, and creativityThe moment I realized my phone was taking priority over my marriage, my presence, and my inner lifeWhat finally pushed me to take a social media breakWhat I’ve noticed after stepping away - mentally, emotionally, and physicallyIf you’ve ever thought: Why can’t I stop scrolling?Am I addicted to my phone?Why do I reach for my phone when I feel bored, overwhelmed, or uncomfortable?How do I have a healthier relationship with technology?…this episode is for you. This isn’t about demonizing phones or social media. It’s about waking up, telling ourselves the truth, and learning how to live more intentionally in a world designed to hijack our attention. Disclaimer: This episode is based on my personal experience and self-reflection and is not medical or mental health advice. If addiction or compulsive behaviors are deeply impacting your life, you deserve support beyond this conversation. Please consider reaching out to a licensed professional or a trusted support resource. Follow Jenna on Instagram
