Ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still wondering, why does this feel so wrong? This week, I sat down with my dear friend Jenny Jansen to talk about the messy pivots that actually bring you back to yourself.

Jenny’s story is one for the books: she started out teaching fifth graders, realized the real work she loved was those heart-to-heart recess talks, and then walked straight into a full-on quarter-life crisis. We’re talking Starbucks mornings, late-night shifts, ugly cries on the couch, and a whole lot of surrender.

But here’s the thing, those two years of chaos became the foundation for everything she does now as a therapist and master coach. Jenny and I dive into what it actually looks like to choose yourself over and over again, even when your brain is screaming bad idea, and why asking for help is the most adult thing you can do.

This conversation is funny, raw, and packed with mic-drop wisdom about trusting your nudges, rewriting your “shoulds,” and pivoting into a life that feels not just aligned, but actually alive.

In this episode, I’m so thrilled to welcome back my good friend and incredibly gifted therapist, Jenny Jansen. Jenny shares her inspiring and honest journey from being a fifth-grade teacher to becoming a licensed clinical social worker and certified Adult Chair coach. We dive deep into what it means to live in soul alignment, follow the intuitive nudges, and trust the process of becoming who you're truly meant to be. Our conversation feels just like one of our lunch dates—real, reflective, and full of heart.
