Send us Fan Mail Thank you so much for being here!!! This week's episode is a reminder that endings and beginnings often exist side by side. After losing the state championship lacrosse game in golden goal overtime, my son's high school sports career came to an end - as well as my role as a sports mom, and my family's identification as a sports family. With graduation this week too,...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you so much for being here! In the U.S. (and especially living at the beach!), Memorial Day is the "official" launch of summer! And never is our unappreciation of our bodies as great as it is during the summer. Can we say that we love our body... and mean it? What if instead of crititicizing all of our flaws based off of narratives that have been planted in our hea...

Send us Fan Mail  Thank you so much for being here! In honor of my oldest's graduation from the teen years, here are the top 20 things that I learned about parenting teenagers. Not as someone who has all the answers - because clearly I do not - but just as someone who has not only survived the teen years for one child, but actually loved them!! My favorite parenting stage, so far! It's c...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you for being here! There’s a conversation happening right now between wellness culture, aging, fitness, femininity, and identity, and I think many women are quietly struggling with it more than we admit. In this episode, I talk honestly about the emotional side of body change in midlife. Not from a “diet culture” perspective or a “just love yourself” perspective, but from a...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome! Thank you for being here! There’s a phase of motherhood that no one really prepares you for. It’s not the chaos of little kids, and it’s not the emptiness of the empty nest. It’s the in-between—when your teenagers are starting to launch, and everything is quietly shifting. In this episode, I explore the tension we all feel between staying connected to our kids and allowin...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! I'm so happy you're here! This is part 3 of my Things I wish I knew sooner series - #s 41 through 50. I just turned 50 last week, and to count down, I stepped drastically out of my comfort zone and started recording and posting reels/TikToks every day of things I wish I had known sooner - things that would have made my life a lot easier. In that process, I...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you so much for being here!! I am so appreciative of you for tuning in! Last year, we had a conversation about hypernormalization that I think it's important to revisit. We’re living in a time when the world feels increasingly chaotic, and somehow we’re expected to keep functioning like everything’s fine. In this episode, I explore the concept of hypernormalization - ho...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I continue my 50 Things I Wish I Knew Sooner series, walking through lessons 16 through 40. This part of the list shifts from what we do to how we experience our lives - our thoughts, our habits, our self-image, and the way we show up in our relationships. This isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about learning how to think differently, trust yourself...

Send us Fan Mail "I am going to warn you in advance that it has been a rough few days and I am not feeling like my best birthday girl self." This was the message I sent to my friend who is coming to visit to celebrate my birthday. Nothing is wrong and yet everything feels wrong. I think a lot of you can relate to some of the heaviness I'm carrying, but it all comes back to roles - t...

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode started with a random moment in my attic looking for an old box of college photos and turned into something bigger. There’s a growing trend right now of teens recreating 90s aesthetics… and even subtle shifts in what’s considered “cool” (yes, including the whole smoking vs vaping conversation). But this episode isn’t about trends. It’s about what those trends m...

Send us Fan Mail As we (in the Northern Hemisphere) enter Spring, can we trust that we are on the right path, even if the balance we seek is only an illusion? Maybe we, like the Earth are only meant to find balance at times,  Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.

Send us Fan Mail This week I found myself thinking about something a lot of parents probably feel but don’t always say out loud. Two of my kids had tough weeks. Nothing catastrophic, but enough that I spent hours talking things through with them, listening, trying to help them make sense of it. And during a text conversation with my cousin, she said something that stuck with me. “You’re only as ha...

Send us Fan Mail You can start something new any time. It doesn't need to be January 1st or a Monday - it can be a random Wednesday in February at 2pm when, after YEARS of saying that "I'm going to work on my socials," you finally start. As I approach my 50th birthday, I made a list (that I didn't know what I was going to do with) of "50 things I wish I had known soon...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! I'm so happy you're here!  You don’t need to be your best every day. You just need to show up consistently and be authentically you. After three years of saying that I was going to build my socials/be consistent in my socials/focus on my socials (spoiler: I didn't/wasn't), on a random Wednesday in February, I committed to 50 consecutive days of ma...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! I'm so grateful you are here! Last week, we talked about men and women processing information differently. I wanted to follow up on that conversation with an episode to share with the men in your life to help them to understand how to better communicate with you about it. No, men are not from Mars and women are not from Venus; We are all from Earth, and right no...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you for being here for a quick zen with me! Happy Lunar New Year!! As we exit the year of the snake and enter the year of the fire horse, can you reflect on what you have shed - the good and the grief. Are you ready to take on the fire horse?! I am!  Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social. Follow me on Facebook ,  on  Twitter @reframi...

Send us Fan Mail  Hello! Welcome back to Reframing Me! I'm so happy that you're here for a quick moment of zen (with Jen!)...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! Another quick zen for you today, because I've been reflecting on what is the right amount of "enough?" I feel like one minute I'm convinced I'm not doing enough and another I'm too much. My ideas about what is "enough" comes from the events that shaped how I see myself and the narratives that I tell myself. So today, let's...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you for being here! I saw a message I wanted to share - the monks who have been walking for peach across the U.S. reached Washington D.C. today! I saw a speech one gave where his message was to "Clean the mirror right away," and I think it's a valuable one to bring into today.  Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social. Fo...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! I'm so happy you're here today for a Quick Zen. I have not been talking to myself very kindly lately - in fact, I've been even unkind. If we can show ourselves kindness, it filters into everything - we feel joy; we see the world with gratitude; we feel confidence; and we bring grace to ourselves, to everything and everyone we encounter. and to the worl...

Send us Fan Mail This episode explores why disagreement feels so much heavier right now - and why so many conflicts aren’t actually about beliefs, but about how people process information, emotion, and threat. Using the current news cycle as a stress test, I explain how people with shared values can react in completely different ways without one of them being apathetic or wrong and why that confus...
