Jennifer gets candid about her complicated relationship with female friendships — and how growing up around men (and hearing her mom’s negative talk about women) shaped her mindset for years. In this episode, she opens up about the isolation that came with that belief, how it impacted her relationships, and the faith-driven healing that helped her rebuild trust in sisterhood.

Just some quick honest raw confessions that I do in my motherhood journey, that I'm sure you do too.

Some days it feels like I’m carrying the whole house, the kids, the schedules, the emotions, and even my spouse. If you know what I mean this one’s for you!

In today’s short and sweet episode, I’m taking a moment to say Happy Birthday to my dad. Watching from above, I wanted to honor his memory.

It’s not a long one—but it’s from the heart. 💛

If you’ve ever lost someone you love, or just want to pause and reflect on the people who’ve made an impact in your life, I hope this moment reminds you to cherish the time we’re given.

Thanks for listening and letting me share this little piece of my dad with you.

If you’ve been calling yourself lazy lately, pause. This episode is your wake-up call—because you’re not unmotivated, you’re overloaded. We’re breaking down the real difference between laziness and burnout, how always being “on” leaves you numb, and why hustle culture has you chasing productivity instead of peace. Get ready for a gut-check, a capacity audit, and a permission slip to stop apologizing for needing rest.

Motherhood isn’t always picture-perfect, and in this episode, Jennifer peels back the filter to talk about the side of parenting most people skip. From the unspoken emotional weight to the moments no one warns you about, this episode is a heart-to-heart reminder that you're not alone — and you're not crazy for feeling how you feel.

Whether you're in the thick of it or just catching your breath, this one's for every mama who's ever whispered, "Why didn’t anyone tell me?"

After a long pause, I'm back on the mic—and life has been lifing. In this comeback episode of Mom to Wife plus Life, I open up about where I’ve been (spoiler: depression, job changes, deep talks, and big growth), why podcasting is still my passion, and what you can expect this season.

This is the space for moms, wives, caregivers, dreamers—and hot messes with holy callings. Expect authenticity, a few deep sighs, plenty of laughs, and zero perfection. Let’s go.

🎙️ Topics in this episode:

• Where I’ve been and why I’m back

• The truth about healing and still being a mess

• What this podcast will cover (faith, marriage, motherhood, and more)

• Why reality TV sometimes saves my sanity
