    Real Talk on Reinventing Yourself (and Starting Over at 41)

    Hey guys, this one is so special. In this episode of Unscripted, I’m joined by my Instagram bestie—yes, a true soul sister I’ve never met IRL—Jenny Reh, and it's her very first podcast ever! We’ve connected through DMs over the years and finally hit record on the convo we've been having for so long.   Jenny and I have a lot in common—we both come from the beauty industry, we’ve both pivoted into the wellness space, and we’ve both felt that loud nudge (okay, scream) from the universe when it was time to shift gears. She shares how becoming a mom and navigating her own autoimmune diagnosis led her to leave a 23-year hairstyling career and step into functional nutrition. Oh—and she’s now moving to freaking Spain with her family. Yep, she’s doing the thing so many of us only dream about!   We get into everything from: The real signs it's time to pivot What it takes to build a freedom-based business The emotional weight of working in service roles (like behind the chair) Clean beauty, gut health, sleep, stress, and all the fun stuff no one likes to talk about   Jenny’s energy is magnetic, her story is relatable, and this episode is your loving permission slip to explore what’s next for you. Whether it’s switching careers, starting something new, or packing up and moving across the globe—this chat is all heart and real-life action steps.   If you’ve been craving a change or quietly whispering, there’s more for me,—this is your sign.

    The Truth About Podcasting: What It Really Takes with Travis Chappell

    You guys, I could not be more excited to bring you this conversation with Travis Chappell — podcast OG, founder of Travis Makes Friends, and truly one of the most strategic and honest voices in the podcasting world right now. Travis and I first connected when I was a guest on his show, and I just knew I had to have him on Unscripted to pull back the curtain on what podcasting can really do for your brand and business. In this episode, we get into: Why podcasting is nowhere near oversaturated (and why that narrative is totally wrong) How podcasting helped us both completely redefine our careers Why “being consistent” is just the starting line (not the finish line) The biggest mistake new podcasters make (and how to avoid it) Tips for figuring out your show’s direction without boxing yourself in too early Whether you're podcast curious, already launched, or knee-deep in weekly episodes like me — this episode is packed with real talk and strategy to help you actually stick with it, grow something meaningful, and avoid the burnout that takes most people out by episode 10. 💬 If this one hit home for you, come slide into my DMs or tag me and Travis in your stories. We LIVE for that connection and conversation. Thanks for listening — and as always, keep it real and keep it Unscripted.   Connect with Travis: http://travischappell.com/ https://instagram.com/travischappell   Connect with me on IG @jessicaburgio Learn more on my website https://www.jessicaburgio.com/

    Pivoting with Purpose: How to Take Small Actions Toward Your Big Dreams

    In this episode, I’m coming to you fresh off some powerful coaching calls and inspired AF. I had a convo with a woman who reminded me so much of where I used to be—stuck in a cycle of burnout and ready for change, but unsure of where to even begin. If you’ve ever felt the nudge to pivot, but you’re overwhelmed by all the options (or scared to start), this episode is for you. I’m breaking down how small, consistent actions can lead to massive transformation. I’m sharing my own routines, mindset shifts, and the actual tools I use to move through change without burning out. This isn’t about having a five-year plan—this is about taking one intentional step at a time. Timestamps: 00:00 – What sparked this episode I talk about the convo that got me fired up—and why midlife pivots are more common (and more necessary) than we think. 02:15 – Embracing imperfection and starting where you are A reminder that you don't have to have a full plan to begin. Start where you are, use what you’ve got. 04:30 – Step 1: Start small Why time blocking 30 minutes a day can change your life—and how I personally structure mine to get sh*t done. 06:50 – Step 2: Prioritize self-care (seriously) I share my actual morning routine and why self-care is my non-negotiable during big transitions. 09:10 – Step 3: Be conscious of your mindset The affirmations, audio, and habits that keep me grounded even when the journey gets messy. 10:50 – Step 4: Set weekly goals & break them into daily tasks How I break big ideas into doable steps—and how this one habit builds confidence and momentum. 12:45 – Step 5: Celebrate your damn progress Why every tiny win matters and how “F*ck Yeah Friday” helps me stay consistent (and motivated). 13:45 – Final words: You don’t need to be perfect to begin A pep talk from your girl: You’re capable of more than you think, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to take the first step.

    4 Life Lessons That Changed Everything

    Hey friends, I’m back from my solo birthday trip to Cabo—something I’ve never really done before and I’ve been reflecting on this past year and, honestly, my entire life. Turning 44 hit differently, and I wanted to share four big lessons that have shaped me, especially recently. I’m talking about trusting that the universe has your back (even when it feels like it doesn’t), finding the opportunity in tough situations, taking action before you talk yourself out of it, and believing people when they show you who they are. I’ve learned a lot about friendships, business, and just life in general, and I hope something in this episode speaks to you. Also, a huge shout out to the listener who messaged me saying they’ve listened to every single episode—you have no idea how much that means! And if you haven’t left a review yet, consider it my birthday gift! 😉 Let’s get into it.   What I Talk About in This Episode: Why I finally took a solo trip and what it taught me The moment I realized I had to trust that things happen for a reason A tough friendship situation that showed me the truth about people How taking action (before you're ready) has changed my business and life Why podcasting is one of the best ways to connect, grow, and share your voice If this episode resonates with you, send me a DM! I love hearing from you. And if you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, I’ve got something coming for you soon.   [02:30] – Do you reflect on your birthday, or is that just me?
