Self-love is more than a feeling. It’s more than treating yourself. It’s what you do when no one’s watching.

In this episode, I’m sharing the perspective shifts that taught me how to truly love myself, and how I continue to practice it as I grow into the person I’ve always wanted to be. We’re talking about why self-love is an action, not just a mindset, and how showing up for yourself physically and mentally builds real self-respect. From health, fitness, and discipline, to boundaries, standards, and choosing long-term peace over short-term comfort, this episode is about what self-love actually looks like.

I also dive into letting go of comparison, learning not to take things personally, trusting that rejection is redirection (and protection), and forgiving past versions of yourself without identifying with your mistakes. If you’ve ever felt stuck, hard on yourself, or confused about what self-love really means, this conversation is for you.

Because loving yourself isn’t about becoming perfect...it’s about choosing yourself consistently.

Being hot isn’t just about how you look. It’s about how you treat yourself when no one is watching. In this episode, we’re talking about why high standards are the most attractive quality you can have, and why lowering them has never led to more love, respect, or fulfillment.

We break down the three pillars of real standards (self-respect, self-discipline, and emotional honesty) and how the way you show up for yourself sets the tone for how others show up for you. From learning how to enforce boundaries without over-explaining, to understanding why loud standards often signal insecurity, this episode is about raising your standards quietly and living by them consistently.

We also talk about common mistakes that keep people stuck, like confusing potential with behavior, overextending emotionally, and tolerating situations that slowly drain your peace. If you’ve ever felt disrespected, burnt out, or like you’re giving more than you’re getting, this conversation will help you reconnect with your self-worth and realign your standards with yourself, in dating, friendships, and everyday life.

Consider this your reminder: being hot isn’t about asking for more. It’s about tolerating less. Your standards don’t make you difficult; they make you magnetic. When you stop negotiating with yourself, other people stop negotiating with you too.

Welcome back to 20s Confidential.

As the new year gets closer, everyone starts talking about what they want to add. New goals. New habits. New routines. But what if the real glow up comes from what you’re willing to let go of?

In this episode of 20s Confidential, we’re talking about why your energy is actually your most attractive quality, and how anything that drains it is quietly dimming your glow from the inside out. From toxic habits and misaligned relationships to self doubt, self abandonment, and trying to control outcomes that were never meant to be controlled, it all adds up. And yes, if it’s not serving you, it’s making you ugly. Energetically, emotionally, and eventually physically too.

We get into how to tell what’s draining you by listening to your intuition, why stress and attachment keep you stuck, and how detachment is really just self love in action. We talk about choosing yourself, letting people misunderstand you, stopping the chase for clarity, and making space for things that actually want you back.

This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to add more to become your best self. You just need to release what’s weighing you down. If it doesn’t bring you peace, energy, or alignment, it doesn’t deserve a spot in your next chapter.

Here’s to cutting what drains you, protecting your energy, and walking into the new year glowing.

Our 20s are messy, and so is growth. In this episode of 20s Confidential,

Jenna McKee dives into the truth about self-growth and why it is rarely a straight line. We talk about perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, and how identifying with your mistakes can keep you stuck in the same patterns longer than necessary.

This episode is all about releasing the unrealistic expectation that growth means never messing up. Jenna breaks down why growth often requires learning the same lesson multiple times, how downward spirals begin when mistakes turn into identity, and why true progress comes from balancing self-compassion with self-discipline.

You will learn how to stop self-abandoning after setbacks, separate who you are from what you did, and reframe growth as a skill that takes practice, awareness, and resilience. Because real growth is not about being perfect. It is about responding with more self-awareness, correcting course, and refusing to quit on yourself.

If you are navigating your 20s, breaking old patterns, or trying to grow without burning yourself down in the process, this episode is for you.

Here’s to growing, glowing, and embracing the chaos of our 20s!

We all love a good glow up.

In this episode of 20s Confidential, we break down the two sides of a glow up: the physical and the intrinsic. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look good, feel confident in your appearance, and enjoy the external parts of a glow up. Physical discipline, routines, and taking care of yourself can be powerful and motivating when they come from the right place.

But the truth is, a real glow up doesn’t start on the outside. It starts on the inside.

We talk about why focusing on aesthetics alone will never feel like enough, how glow ups become toxic when they’re driven by self-criticism or external validation, and why looking better doesn’t automatically mean feeling better. Because correlation doesn’t equal causation, and you can have your “dream look” and still feel misaligned.

Then we dive into the intrinsic glow up: upgrading your standards, setting boundaries, building self-discipline, and redefining self-love as action...not just a feeling. The fact is, it all comes down to self-love. You can’t hate yourself into loving yourself. The physical glow up may be visible, but the internal work is what actually sustains it.

If you’re heading into a new season craving a glow up, this episode reframes it through grounded self-respect, long-term thinking, and becoming the version of yourself that feels aligned, inside and out.

Here’s to glowing, growing, and embracing the chaos of our 20s.
