Ep 133 - Making Friends as Adults & Showing Up Well
This episode is extra special—it marks the beginning of a brand new adventure, and I'm bringing you along for the journey.
Inside, I'm sharing two powerful segments from my Radio Talk Show that dive into something so many of us quietly struggle with: making adult friendships and truly showing up for the people we care about.
Let's be honest—friendship as an adult can feel complicated. Life is full, schedules are packed, and vulnerability doesn't always come easy. But connection? It still matters deeply. Maybe now more than ever.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why making friends as an adult can feel so hard (and why it's not just you)
- How to take small, meaningful steps toward building real connection
- What it actually looks like to show up for your friends in a way that feels authentic and sustainable
- The courage it takes to go first—and why it's worth it
And because I don't just want to inspire you—I want to equip you—I've created something special for you.

132 - My Child Only Listens to Dad
Many parents quietly carry the same frustration: "Why does my child listen to my spouse… but not me?"
It can feel personal. It can feel unfair. And if you're the parent constantly repeating yourself while your partner walks in and gets instant compliance, it can even make you wonder if you're doing something wrong.
In this episode, Jenn unpacks what's really going on when kids seem to respond to one parent more than the other. The answer usually has far less to do with respect—and far more to do with family dynamics, emotional connection, and the roles parents naturally fall into.
You'll hear why kids often respond differently to different parents, how the "fun parent vs. manager parent" pattern develops in many homes, and why the parent who spends the most time with the kids often gets the most pushback.
Jenn also talks about how children test the relationships that feel safest, why consistency between parents matters, and how moms and dads can work together so one parent doesn't feel like the "bad cop" all the time.
Instead of trying to force obedience or competing for authority, this conversation focuses on building cooperation, strengthening connection, and helping both parents feel respected and supported in their role.
If you've ever felt like the background noise while your partner gets the instant results, you are not alone. This episode offers encouragement, perspective, and practical tools to help bring more balance—and peace—into your home.
