Steel Roses Podcast
Steel Roses is a podcast created for women by women. Social pressures for women are constant. Professionals, stay at home moms, working moms, we are here to tell you that you are not alone! This podcasts primary focus is providing real honest content shedding light on the daily struggles of women while also elevating women's voices. All women are experiencing similar pressures and hurdles, and yet, no one is talking out in the open. If these topics continue to only exist as whispered conversations then we further permeate a culture of judgement and shame. Join Jenny weekly as she discusses topics that effect women in a relatable, honest way.
Episodes
If dating feels like déjà vu, you’re not cursed—you’re unaligned. We open up about the inner work that makes healthy love possible, from naming your nonnegotiables to stepping off the hamster wheel of “fast and easy” connections. Instead of explaining away mixed signals, we walk through simple, honest ways to read priorities, set boundaries that stick, and protect your energy for people who show up with consistency.
Forget the myth that leadership means being the loudest voice in the room. We share a raw, funny, and practical journey from crash-and-burn manager to a leader who lifts, protects, and empowers. If you’ve ever had a boss who dumped everything on your desk at 5 p.m., you’ll recognize the old model—and you’ll get a blueprint for doing the opposite.
We start with early missteps: mistaking a title for freedom, de...
What if the rule of breakfast, lunch, and dinner was built for the clock, not your body? We take a hard look at the cultural origins of three meals a day, why that script became so dominant, and how a smarter approach to meal timing can improve energy, mood, and long-term health. Along the way, we unpack research on meal frequency, fasting windows, and the surprising backstory behind the 2,000-calorie “standard” that ...
Ever feel your mornings run you instead of the other way around? We’ve been there—work piling up, kids home, routines slipping—until the day we chose a gentler restart. Today we share a candid update on parenting getting easier as kids grow more independent and how that small shift opened the door to rebuilding our inner calm with a practical morning ritual you can actually keep.

Unleash Her: The Next Chapter Begins
A single rose stem fought through shade, found the light, and bloomed anyway—and that small miracle became our guide for how women can cut back, take space, and grow stronger roots. We read the final excerpt from Unleash Her: The Next Chapter Begins and turn a backyard discovery into a vivid blueprint for choosing yourself without apology.
We start with the moment everyone ...
Unleash Her: The Next Chapter Begins
What if the voice telling you you’re not ready is just noise—and you could learn to turn the volume down? We open the pages of Unleash Her and read an excerpt that cuts straight to the heart of imposter syndrome, the late-night spiral that convinces capable women to shrink. From becoming a homeowner to leading at work, I share how doubt tried to rewrite my story and the simple, repe...
Unleash Her: The Next Chapter Begins
What happens when the habit everyone applauds slowly empties you out? We open up about growing up with a self-sacrifice script, chasing a career while raising kids, and the silent resentment that builds when rest is always last on the list. The story moves from the 9-to-5-to-2 a.m. grind to a gentle, grounded reset: morning rituals that actually stick, boundaries that protect both f...
Ever notice how the plans you waited years to achieve can feel misaligned the moment they arrive? We get honest about that awkward middle—holding a long‑earned job while craving creative momentum—and unpack how a small shift in thinking can unlock big results without burning out.
We start by naming the control trap and why trusting timing is hard when you’re used to managing every detail. From there, we refra...
A simple weekend slip turned into a wake-up call. After letting intermittent fasting drift, leaning on late-night snacks, and saying yes to back-to-back drinks, the fatigue hit like a wall—stealing precious hours meant for family and fresh air. Rather than chalk it up to a bad day, we zoom in on what really changed and why midlife bodies respond faster and louder to small choices.
We walk through the chain re...
We share a car-recorded throwback, a trunk-or-treat line that tested patience, and a candid month-one update on Slynd: headaches, breakthrough bleeding, and why we’re staying the course for hormonal stability. The goal is a steadier baseline for moods, more presence with our kids, and practical steps when symptoms test resolve.

We tell a raw, clear story about early perimenopause, the “dark cloud” weeks that shook our home, and the decision to push for medical help after lifestyle changes weren’t enough. We share how cycle tracking, food choices, and advocacy led to a progesterone-only plan and a commitment to speak up.

We open up about the awkward but necessary work of setting boundaries with other parents, teachers, and kids’ friends to keep our children safe online and offline. We share proactive scripts, red flags to watch for, and how to hold firm without starting a fight.

The mental load women carry goes far beyond physical tasks—it's about the constant awareness of household needs that partners often don't share. When women ask for more balance, they're not just seeking help with chores but asking why they alone must keep track of everything from doctor appointments to toothpaste levels.
• Mental load involves thousands of small tasks occupying women's min...
I reflect on two major parenting regrets that have had significant consequences in our family: allowing excessive screen time and catering to picky eaters. These seemingly small concessions made during overwhelming parenting moments have created lasting challenges as my children have grown older.
• Started giving my son a tablet around age three despite knowing the potential harm
• Now seeing addiction-li...
Parenthood brings unexpected challenges as children enter the preteen years, with pushback and boundary-testing occurring earlier than anticipated.

The unexpected intensity of perimenopause symptoms can be shocking and disruptive, even when you think you understand what's happening. A recent episode of hormone-induced depression forced me to reconsider my approach to managing this transition and validated the need for more open conversations about women's health experiences.
• Unpredictability is one of the most challenging aspects of perimenop...
I made an unpopular parenting decision that saved my sanity and my marriage. While many advocate for strict 50/50 parenting, I recognized my husband's limitations and chose to shoulder more responsibility rather than create additional stress.
