73. Welcome to Your No Girl Era: Reclaiming Your Time, Your Joy & Your F*ck Yes

Midwestern girlies (and busy babes everywhere), listen up! Does your summer calendar spontaneously fill up with endless obligations, leaving you burnt out and wondering where the season even went? Dr. Jenny is here to drop some unfiltered truth: it’s time to stop being a "yes girl" and officially step into your "no girl era." In this unapologetic episode, Dr. Jenny exposes the people-pleasing trap that keeps us saying yes to everything that comes our way, often at the expense of our own peace and pleasure. She shares her personal, hilarious (and all-too-relatable) experience of saying NO to a "should" event and YES to her own joy, even when it meant navigating family expectations. You'll learn why your subconscious wants to keep you stuck in old patterns and how to tune into that immediate, intuitive "yes" or "no" before your inner critic talks you out of it. Get ready to learn how to: Schedule "Do Not Disturb" (D&D) days: dedicated time for you to do absolutely nothing but what feels like a F*CK YES. Discern your "fuck yes" from your "f*ck no": and have the courage to honor your truth. Break free from disappointing yourself: by risking disappointing others. This episode is your permission slip to reclaim your time, your energy, and your joy. Life's too short to be stuck doing things you don't want to do. It’s time to be a #NoGirl.

71 . You're Not Tired, You're Full of Unfelt Feelings

It's time to get radically honest, babe. That bone-deep exhaustion you're feeling? It’s probably not just your period, a lack of sleep, or burnout.

Using the powerful metaphor of a dam holding back water, she breaks down exactly how much of your life force is being used to stuff down your truth, your anger, and your frustration. This episode is a loving bitch slap to stop blaming your exhaustion on the surface-level symptoms and start looking at the real emotional weight you're carrying.
