The world can cut us down in subtle or grandeur ways, but only if we aren't in control of our emotions, and our body's response to those emotions. In today's episode, Jenny gives us some great pointers and places to start for building that emotional control as well as maintaining it. Looking within ourselves for answers instead of solely relying on others can be one of our greatest assets if we so choose, but it&apos...
Parenting can be a difficult task, and that can be seen by anyone - with or without children. It can be even more difficult when we ourselves have not received the parenting we needed when we were in that child's shoes; when we have not received that love and support that we may have needed so desperately. In today's training, Jenny offers us a gentle approach to reparenting ourselves so we receive that reassuring hold ar...
In today's episode of Shed the Shame, Jenny discusses how taking care of yourself can sometimes do more harm than good when we overload ourselves with too many things at the wrong times and set impossible expectations for ourselves. We start off with a sweet and simple gesture to give ourselves what we need most and to be our best, but may soon find that we are overwhelmed with yet another checklist of responsibilities that ov...
In past episodes, Jenny has talked about practicing self compassion and ways that we can do that. But there are other areas in our journey that go along with that like bread and butter - and she's here to give us the lo-down. Topics like negative self talk, invalidating ourselves, and being unaware of how our body responds to our environment are all obstacles in our path to mental and physical wellness. In today's episod...

In today's episode of Shed The Shame, Jenny teaches us how to turn perceived flaws and weaknesses into some of our greatest strengths.

But today, we learn to embrace them, to switch perspectives on where they can be useful, and figuring out their opposing and corresponding strengths. Jenny also encoura...
In this episode, Jenny discusses how the brain tries to protect us by coming up with 'reasons' we feel we can't succeed or achieve their goals, but those 'reasons' are just negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that stem from past experiences, voices we've internalized, and fears around change or potential failure. Jenny helps us understand why negative thoughts exist so we can shift our perspectives,...

Fears are important to pay attention to, and equally important to sooth. What's a little more difficult yet equally rewarding is being able to let go or overcome those fears and allowing them to inspire you - allowing them to get you excited for the road ahead of you to reaching your goals and dreams! Any step towards this - no matter how big or small - is still a successful step. In this episode, Jenny walks us through her r...
In previous episodes, Jenny has talked about celebrating ourselves and our lives because it’s generally a healthy thing to do. But did you know, one of the ‘side effects’ of celebrating yourself and your accomplishments is increased resilience and confidence? Those are some pretty nice ‘side effects’ to have, don’t you think?! In today’s episode, Jenny teaches us some of the strategies we can take to figure out where our weaknesses...
There's a pretty standard list of boxes that society pushes us to check off in order to look like we're passing as happy and successful; you have a job, you have a family, you have a house...ta da! You're happy and successful, right? ...Maybe not quite. While those things are great to have, so many of us want more - we KNOW there is more out there for us! Some of us want to check things off our bucket list, some of u...
We've talked about the delegation of physical house chores before...but what about the mental work load? The society we grew up in has, for a long time, expected women to be the ones to keep the household together both physical chores and mental chores like keeping the kids on schedule, scheduling parties or family plans, appointments, and anything in between. But our society is changing, it is evolving, and it's becoming...
Not everyone’s trauma is the same - trauma is a spectrum, whether it happens in childhood or adulthood. Trauma that we leave out of our control can cause a multitude of other health issues, spiral our lives out of balance and into darkness, and dwindle our relationships with ourselves and others. That’s where Jenny comes in and shows you that there’s a way out of that darkness, there’s a way to shed the shame, the guilt, the feelin...
AWARENESS is key when it comes to emotional self-mastery. Being aware of your reaction to your surroundings, and to events both in the present AND the past can help you break out of emotionally unstable patterns now, and in the future. Not only will Jenny help you break out of those unstable patterns, but also teach us how to stop people pleasing, how to process our traumas and understand others so we can live our lives on the rig...
It’s been programmed into us from older generations that life has to be all work, and little or no play until we’re 65 and retired, and too old to do the things we wanted to when we were younger. We’ve been programmed to think that we have to choose one thing and one thing only, even if that thing makes us miserable! If we’re miserable, we’re supposed to push through it until we essentially can’t anymore…and then we see our health ...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
