Vulnerability is Cool

i'm back from burning man and still riding the high, so i sat down to share everything i learned this year: the shifts, the lessons, the moments that pushed me deeeeper into my purpose.we get into why burning man doesn't change everyone the same way, and why it was never actually about the event for me, it's about being intentional about finding myself instead of escaping myself. i tal...

This week we are talking liveeee from the playaaa, I recorded this one before my burn started, sharing my actual intentions going into Burning Man and how I approach festivals as something to more deeply understand myself instead of losing myself. This is a big brain dump of my thoughts from manifestation to accepting life as it is to deciding that everything is easy. If you've ever judged som...

This week we are talkinngggg: self-talk, mindset, manifestation, and how your inner conversation is either ruining your life or building it. You deserve your own love first. You deserve to feel safe with yourself. You deserve to become someone you actually enjoy being alone with, because there is no point spending your life hating yourself. Being alone with my own thoughts has become one of my fav...

This week we are talkinggggg about the realization that changed my entire relationship with my own brain, going from thinking something was fundamentally wrong with me, to understanding my OCD, to actually calling it my superpower and meaning it. A little bit of this, a little bit of that:- My very first OCD memory at four years old, and how long it took me to realize that's what it even was-...

This one is my cousin Leah, and it's one of the realest conversations I've ever recorded on this podcast. We found each other a few years ago through a DNA test and became instant best friends, and this episode is her whole story. We get into her being groomed by a much older man starting at 14, the depression and suicidal thoughts she carried through high school, the pattern of toxic rela...

This week we are talkinngggg about the mindset shift that changed everything for me, from walking into rooms feeling like everyone else had it figured out, to fully stepping into my own confidence and creating the life I used to only write about in my journal. A little bit of this, a little bit of that: - How I went from feeling like an outsider everywhere I went to choosing confidence on purpose...

welcome to season two baby! this is my whole story. being raised Mormon, getting sexually abused when I was 4, leaving home at 14, getting engaged at 21 after three months of dating (so Mormon of me), the breakup that sent me into a spiral I didn't even have language for yet, finding out I had OCD, suicidal ideation, ketamine therapy, ayahuasca, burning man and somehow ending up in my dream lo...

One year after his first raw, honest conversation on the pod, Hunter Clark returns, this time solo. We go deeper into the shame, the shadows, and the soul work that healing from porn addiction really takes. Hunter shares how plant medicine cracked him open, why intimacy means into-me-you-see , and what happens when you stop treating symptoms and start tending to the root. From a fear of being “too...

I’ve been sitting with this phrase a lot lately: suppression equals depression. And the more I think about it… the more it just makes sense. Not just in a mental health way, but in the quiet ways we abandon ourselves. This episode isn’t about fixing anything. It’s just about being honest with yourself. About noticing where you’re pressing yourself down and what might open up if you stopped. We’re...

We’re sitting down together me (Jenna) + one of my oldest friends, Josh Crowder and diving into what it actually means to date yourself. Like, not just the cute insta brunches, but the hard conversations, the self‑honesty, the body love, the sacredness of your own energy. We talk celibacy, sexual transmutation (that idea of redirecting your sexual energy into your life, your art, your healing) and...

In this episode, I’m sharing where I’m at post-ayahuasca and post-burning man, two back-to-back experiences that cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect. It’s not a full recap. More like a soft landing. I talk through the love blocks I’ve been trying to heal, the visions that shook me, the chaos in my head, and what it’s been teaching me about surrender, safety, and being seen as more than just a...

This one’s raw, reflective, and exactly where I’m at right now. Two days out from sitting with ayahuasca again, I share how this round of prep feels completely different than last time, softer, more grounded, more me. I talk about: Why last time felt like I was training for the spiritual Olympics 🥇How this time I’m leaning into trust instead of controlThe intentions I’m setting around money, boun...

Send us a text This one’s raw, powerful, and full of the kind of truths we usually try to avoid. We talk about resistance, what it looks like, what it feels like, and why it always shows up right before your next level. I share stories from my life in Bali, the relationship that almost broke me, navigating grief, saying no with love, and finally learning how to trust the discomfort instead of run...

Send us a text In today’s solo, we’re pulling the curtain back on the phrase “you teach people how to treat you” what it actually means, why it’s not your fault, and how to finally stop outsourcing your worth. We’re talking dating dynamics, friendship shifts, nervous system sabotage, and the slow-boiling pain of people pleasing. I share some raw updates on my own health, the perfectionism spiral,...

Send us a text This one was... a lot. I have so many thoughts about the whole situation. This is the raw and real story behind my episode of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. From a 4th of July river trip to reality TV, here’s what actually happened between Dakota and me. I talk about what it felt like to be gaslit and gently love bombed. What it means to be the “other girl” without even knowing....

Send us a text This one’s soft, messy, honest, and exactly what I needed to say.  We talk about the art of letting go.  Not in the Pinterest quote kind of way,  but in the actual lived, raw, confusing, beautiful way. I tell you what I’m currently letting go of, what’s breaking my heart open, and how I’m learning (still learning) to trust that there’s more waiting on the other side of surrender. I...

Send us a text Welcome back to the Vulnerability is Cool podcast. In today’s solo episode, I’m breaking down something that made everything finally make sense for me. I had always heard the term “highly sensitive person” growing up, but I didn’t really get it until I was sitting in couples therapy with my ex and the therapist said, “You’re a highly sensitive person.” I was like… wait, what? Since...

Send us a text This episode is all about manifestation, the kind that happens when you shift your thoughts, tune into your own frequency, and actually become the version of you who already has the life you’re calling in. We talk about:  – Why “I am” statements actually work  – What it means to stay in your own energy (especially in the morning)  – How your thoughts literally change what you see an...

This episode is all about choosing yourself, fully, unapologetically, and without waiting for permission. We dive into what it really means to believe that you are highly favored, by the universe, by life itself. It’s not about luck; it’s about stepping into the energy that everything is working for yo...

Send us a text On this weeks episode I am sitting in a random corner of the Denver airport recording this because I refuse to let inconsistency win. Today, we’re talking about the victim mindset. How it’s keeping you small, keeping you stuck, and keeping you from living the life you actually want. And trust me, I say this with love, because I had to learn this the hard way. In this episode, we’re...

Send us a text This week, I’m flying solo and we’re diving into all things New Year. But don’t worry, this isn’t about “New Year, New Me” pressure. Nope.
