She looked like she had it all together. A successful coach. Fit, consistent, driven. But inside? Tiffany Owen was unraveling. After 24 years in the fitness industry, she hit rock bottom facing addiction, trauma, and self-sabotage head-on.

In this deeply powerful episode, Jennifer talks with Tiffany about what it really takes to rebuild self-trust, recover from emotional pain, and stop outsourcing your power to diets, workouts, or even other people.
