What if our "mess" is not a detour to be taken and instead a doorway to welcome? 

In this episode, we explore what it really means to reset the soul when life feels tangled, heavy, or uncertain. Fresh off facilitating Enneagram work at the Soul Reset retreat, I share the themes that surfaced again and again: the surprising power of rest, what renewal actually looks like in real time, and why resilience is less about pushing through and more about softening into what’s true. If you’re navigating a season of complexity or craving a deeper sense of clarity, this episode offers companionship, perspective, and gentle encouragement for whatever chapter you’re in.

What does trust meant to you? What does it look like in practice? 

Trust is the foundation of every relationship — and every breakdown. But what “trust” means can look very different depending on your Enneagram type. In this episode, Jen unpacks what each type needs to feel safe and grounded in trust — and what may erode that trust without you even realizing it. You’ll also explore how each type can stretch toward greater openness and how understanding these differences can help any leader or team strengthen their foundation of connection.

Without system awareness, the person who is the most self aware often feels the most exhausted. 

In this episode, we explore how the Enneagram can be used not just for self awareness and growth but also for system awareness -- to understand and support the dynamics of your team. We’ll look at how different core motivations, communication patterns, and instinctual priorities shape how each person shows up at work. You’ll learn how to recognize common tension points, how to create more psychological safety, and how to build a team culture where people feel seen, valued, and able to contribute in their own way.

What if the key to leading change wasn’t fixing what’s broken, but amplifying what’s already working?

In this episode Jen explores how leaders can create a culture of growth by focusing on what’s already working — not just what’s broken. Using the Appreciative Inquiry framework, she walks through the 4D process: Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny/Deliver, showing how each phase helps teams tap into their strengths, build collective vision, and sustain meaningful change. You’ll learn how shifting from problem-solving to possibility-thinking transforms engagement, connection, and trust — one appreciative question at a time.

What if the most powerful thing a leader could do wasn't to have all the answers -- but to stay deeply human and authentic in the process? 

Leadership isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being real. In this heartfelt conversation, Jen shares stories and lessons on how to lead with empathy, curiosity, and courage, even when the world feels uncertain. Learn how human-centered leadership can transform not only your team but the culture you create together.

What if we looked at our life in full chapters instead of by age or decade? How might that shift how we see our current chapter or ready us for our next? 

In this episode I discuss a model that's near and dear to my heart, created by the Hudson Institute of Coaching, and it's called The Cycle of Renewal. Understanding that this cycle is a full life chapter and it's made up of 4 different phases. We can toggle between Phase 1 and 2 for many years before dropping into Phase 3-4. Sometimes we may only complete this cycle once in a lifetime, for others, twice. This is a wonderful episode to listen and tune inward to identify where you are on the cycle. 

What if you knew how to travel along the Enneagram map to manage your stress and to integrate new ways of being? 

Picking up where we left off in Ep 15 - Part 1, we are talking about looking at the Enneagram map and learning how to leverage both your Lines for growth and stress management. Your main type is only a prison if you choose not to grow and leverage the pathways of the map. The entire model is designed to help you grow and integrate beyond what your core motivation wants you to do so you are managing your motivation and it's not managing you. This episode, Part 2,  you'll learn how the Enneagram map works and then we'll look closely at the Head  (5,6,7) and Body (8,9,1) types [refer to Episode 15, Part 1 for the Heart Types (2,3,4). 

Have you ever been in a meeting and suddenly felt tense, misunderstood, or even shut down without really knowing why? This will make sense of that moment. 

When uncertainty or conflict puts us in “threat mode,” our brains can sabotage trust and connection. In this episode, we’ll explore the SCARF model and learn simple strategies to shift out of threat and into reward—so you can lead, communicate, and respond with clarity instead of reactivity. SCARF = Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness. These are 5 domains that influence human social interactions and can trigger a threat or reward response in the brain.
