Fun on Weekdays Jenna Palek

Am I ever going to be enough? Will I ever find someone that will pick me? When am I going to find my husband? Join Madison Prewett Troutt in today's episode to tackle the common questions we have all found ourselves wondering. Madi shares her history of chasing achievement, validation, and approval from boys and how her "pick-me" mindset kept her from finding true happiness within. She shares her journey to confidence and self love through faith, and how patience and trust ultimately lead to her husband, Grant.  Let's get real, honest, and let's have fun with some girl chat!

With so much buzz about Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs, I figured it was time to bring on an insider. Today's episode is with Chiefs Heiress, former Miss Kansas USA, and athlete, Gracie Hunt! Gracie talks about her experience pivoting to pageantry to follow in her mom's footsteps after a devastating sport injury. We chat about how pageants have influenced her confidence, eloquence, and her thoughts on the controversial swimsuit category. Of course, we dive into her family dynamic and how owning the Chiefs has impacted her friendships, dating, and her typical Sunday football routine. Knowing both Taylor and Travis, Gracie shares her thoughts on the romance, how it has influenced women's interest in sports, and whether the two are potentially endgame.

I saw the Barbie movie and I have been in my feels!! In this episode I share my thoughts about the movie, and how the message of the film relates to women in life and on social media. I reflect on what I was “made for” as the movie ends with the iconic Billie Eillish song that has every girl on TikTok feeling proud to be a woman. Let’s recap Fun on Weekdays new apparel drop, our 5K in LA, and other recent events! I also share home updates such as moving, setting expectations with my boyfriend, and excitement for a new chapter of life. Thank you for celebrating TWO years of Fun on Weekdays with me as I take some time away from the podcast to reset, refresh, and relax for a few weeks.
