Jennifer kicks off the new season with 2x author Ericka Ellis (www.erickaellis.com) and Fiorella Zengotita, and the convo goes straight to the real stuff: how you change over time, what it feels like when life starts shifting, and why the “glow-up” part usually comes after the messy part. They talk about how everyone starts the year yelling “discipline!” and “commitment!”—but then real life shows up (distractions, setbacks, chaos). And honestly? That’s not a sign you’re failing. It’s usually a sign you’re actually doing the thing and getting tested.

They also get into the whole “people put you in a box” situation—friends, family, society… and yeah, sometimes we do it to ourselves too. Like, people get used to one version of you, and when you start dressing different, talking different, dreaming bigger, or wanting something new, it can freak them out. But the point is: you’re allowed to evolve. You’re not supposed to stay the same forever just to make everyone else comfortable. And even if some people don’t come along for the ride, choosing yourself can feel like a huge breath of fresh air.
