    92: Her Story Isn’t Over - A conversation with Kendra Bates
    Mar 31 2026

    From addiction to healing, Kendra opens up about what changed and why it matters.

    In this episode, Jen sits down with Kendra Bates to talk about her journey through addiction and into recovery. Kendra shares how her story began in Columbus, took a difficult turn in California, and ultimately led her to seek help through City Gospel Mission’s recovery program.

    She opens up about the ups and downs of rehab, what it was like to keep trying again, and the moment everything began to shift. After a Bible study, Kendra experienced the love of Jesus in a deeply personal way, which changed the direction of her life and gave her a new sense of purpose.

    Kendra’s story is honest, hopeful, and full of encouragement for anyone who feels stuck. She reminds us that healing is possible, life can be different, and God meets us right when we need Him most.

    91: What Happens When You Invite Jesus Into Your Inner World: My discovery of IFS
    Mar 24 2026

    In this episode, I introduce Internal Family Systems (IFS) and share some of what I’ve discovered so far. It’s not a deep dive, just an honest reflection on how this framework has started to give language to things I’ve felt for a long time but couldn’t quite explain.

    It’s helped me begin to understand the different parts of myself and why they show up the way they do.

    When Jesus is invited into this process, everything changes. Instead of trying to fix ourselves, His presence meets us with compassion, truth, and peace—right in the middle of it all.

    This episode is simply an invitation to explore, to grow in awareness, and to see that God is not distant from your inner world—He’s present in it.

    89: Audacious Faith and a New Year
    Jan 15 2026

    My phrase for 2025 was audacious faith and that was an opportunity to trust God with some shifting in my life. I look back on my process for how I see my year through the lens of a word or phrase of the year.

    88: Sometimes there is grief
    Dec 4 2025
    Grief can feel like it never leaves, and depression can be like what Winston Churchill referred to as his companion, a black dog. But God tells us to live in His joy. But what do you do when cannot find it? Let's talk about that.

    87: A conversation with Susan Wiesemann
    Nov 4 2025
    Join me for a conversation with my friend Susan Wiesemann.

    From the outside, Susan Wiesemann had it all together — thriving business, happy family, strong faith, and a calendar full of good deeds. But behind the polished surface was a woman unraveling, consumed by comparison, driven by fear, and silently battling an autoimmune disease that her perfectionism only made worse.

    Undoing Super Woman is an honest and raw journey to freedom.

    85: A conversation with Christine Bunnell

    After a divorce at 25, Christine was left with a baby to raise and a mess of emotions. From one relationship to another, nothing felt exactly right. Although a successful Branding professional, her relationships were far from successful. This sent her to self discovery through recovery center, something she lovingly calls a "camp." From that point she embarked on a mission to help others who might be "chasing the carat."
