The Jen Fulwiler Show

I lose my mind about people calling my comedy "momedy." Also, my gratitude journal has another casualty! I can no longer control our household thermostat by app. Bonus episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thisisjen *Keep the iTunes reviews coming! I read each one personally and so appreciate them!*

I watched Cuties with an open mind, all as a service to you guys. And here are my uncensored thoughts. I'm now doing bonus content at https://www.patreon.com/thisisjen *Thank you so much for your iTunes reviews! Keep them coming!* A Mixi Media Production

If the school year is already killing you, this episode is for you! Jen also establishes a special bird call that producer Shady can sound when Jen gets too nerdy and boring. Don't miss the story about why Jen owns a book about nudist bowling (at the very end). *Thank you for your review on iTunes! I read every one personally and they mean a lot to me.* Watch this episode on Youtube: https://www.y...

I'm back! I spent my time off revamping the show so it feels more like you and I are hanging out at lunch instead of sounding like I'm talking to myself in a closet. Two new things I'm loving: - I set up a phone number you can call OR text: (512) 222-3523‬ This is a permanent number and I check it personally so add me to your contacts! - This podcast is now available as video, and you can watch th...

I'm blowing your mind with yet another paradigm I came up with ten minutes before the show: being a Driver vs being a Nester. Knowing which you are can make you so much happier in so many areas of life. *ANNOUNCEMENT* - I am taking a podcast vacation and will be back on September 8th! In the meantime, check out these popular episodes you may have missed: 1. Drinking Alone Seemed Like Such a Good I...

I found an old schedule I made that included an hour of "Circle Time" and fifteen minutes for "Planning Healthful Meals!" and I cannot stop laughing. Needless to say, it didn't last a week. But that's all part of the process. *If you could take a second to leave a short review on iTunes (or wherever you listen to this podcast) I'd appreciate it! I read every review personally and they make my day....

I decided to address an elephant in the room: a lot of people are struggling with faith right now. In this episode I share my advice on how to deal with that, coming from my perspective as a former atheist. Though anyone who follows me on Instagram will know that I am probably the worst person to take spiritual guidance from. P.S. If you have a sec to leave a review on iTunes I would LOVE that! I...

If you've ever thought about writing a book, starting a podcast, growing a popular Instagram account, or putting yourself out there in any public way, this is the episode for you! I rarely go into this subject, but this is too important not to share. I go into even more detail in my new book, Your Blue Flame: https://amzn.to/3k9AiHK * Thank you for the reviews on iTunes and elsewhere! I read every...

I have a phrase that will change your life when you face hard decisions. I say this phrase at least a few times every day, and it helps me let go of so much guilt. * Thank you for the reviews on iTunes and elsewhere! I read every single one personally. Keep them coming! *

Just when you thought my superstitious behavior couldn't get weirder, I'm all freaked out about a stupid comet. But I have learned a lot about how each of us can let go of this anxiety that comes with feeling out of control, and I share that here. * THANK YOU for your reviews on iTunes and other places. I read every one and they make my day.*

I ran into Joanna Gaines' husband, Chris, and made everything super weird. If you ever hear that the Gaines family has issued a restraining order against me, this is why. But the whole experience was an example of God moving during difficult times, and we all have to look out for moments like that right now. *THANK YOU for your reviews! I read each one personally. Keep them coming!*

Habits can change your life, but only if you develop ones that work with your nature, not against it. I learned this through much trial and error, which is how I am now an expert at pretending like I have had an emergency which is why I have to leave the gym after seven minutes. P.S. If you have a sec to leave a review on iTunes I'd really appreciate it!

When you reject "try harder" culture and accept that maybe you're just not good at this area of life, really cool things start to happen. You'll find that you start living in an "economy of love" (a term that I made up and am very proud of). P.S. I love iTunes reviews! Keep them coming!

If you don't have a best friend (or boyfriend / girlfriend) you can set goals in this area of life. Here's what I did when I was really lonely because I had no friends - and how Hallie Lord had the misfortune of becoming my best friend. P.S. If you have a sec, leave a review!

It's okay to accept that your kids lost the mom lottery in certain areas of life. You don't have to be good at everything. The secret is know what your love language is (and is not). P.S. Thanks for your podcast reviews! Keep them coming!

How great friendships bring out the best in us. Also, I apologize for the stories I share in this episode. Yes, I realize there are some mental visuals you can't unsee. Want to make my day? Leave a review on iTunes!

So many stay-at-home moms (SAHMs) feel like they lost social significance when they left the workforce. Could it be because our current culture has no models of matriarchal power? ** You can support this ad-free podcast by demanding that everyone you know listen to it and leaving a hagiographic review. **

If you think I'm wrong about fireworks, you're not alone. We'll talk about that, as well as how we can dialogue with people who have different viewpoints. ** You can support this ad-free podcast by telling 20 friends about it and leaving a review. ** 

I had a major insight about "mission-driven gratitude" that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. But first, I confirm your superstitions and ruin the entire concept of gratitude journaling for you.

My fourth baby was super easy and I thought that was because of my amazing parenting. My fifth baby was a maniac baby and I thought that was because of my terrible parenting. Turns out, our kids' behavior has less to do with our parenting skills than we think it does.

If you feel fit and sexy, this is not the episode for you. I talk about Lizzo's power video, the hypocrisy of how people treat her vs women like Alexandra Cooper, and why you must start seeing yourself as beautiful right here, right now.

That naked Barbie photo shoot seemed like such a good idea.

You'll think I'm kidding, but I'm dead serious when I say that if more churchgoing suburbanites were more at ease with blue language, it would change the world. Profanity is the language of pressure. If we're going to be open to hearing from people under pressure, we might be exposed to a few f-bombs.  

We all want peace and healing for our country. But if you feel too exhausted to be part of the war that must be fought for unity and reconciliation, maybe it's because you're on the wrong battlefield.

If you, like me, soothed your quarantine stress by drinking, eating, and shopping, and now the number on the scale is as grim as the number on the credit card bill, I have some words of encouragement.
