Welcome to the "Ramblings of an Addict" podcast, where I, Jenna Dicks, ramble on about all things getting healthy, momming, and politics. Just ask my husband, I'm always talking. But there's a deeper meaning behind the name - I used to struggle with alcoholism. In truth, I have what we call an "addcitive personality". Now, my goal in life is to help others on their own journey to finding their best health and living their life passionately, as a National Board certified Health and Wellness Coach. So join me as I share my story, tips, and inspiration for living your best life, one rambling at a time.

Little Boo Jr mother ,

Love this girl

She does swear, so careful around littles, but I love getting to know her story and learning from her!

Homophobic Podcast

Why are people listening to someone who admits that they ramble too much? Attacking the LGBTQ+ community in her May 19th podcast is sad and tacky; especially when we are approaching Pride month in June. I guess going to Target became too real this past week for this jobless (stay at home) mom and she had a lot to say. Beware! This former hard drinker is far off from posting her harmless rambles and thoughts because this podcast is really just some girl sharing their insecurities and homophobia, while masking it with being a privileged stay at home mom, who I guess has too much to say. Let’s be real. It won’t be a shock in her upcoming episodes that she joined a pyramid scheme and thinks she might teach her kids at home that evolution is fake and that Anne Frank was a hoax. Cancel this program.
