If self-help was actually working, wouldn’t we feel better by now?

This episode is for anyone who has the tools, the discipline, and the information — and still feels anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted.

In this conversation, we get honest about why modern self-help keeps people managing symptoms instead of finding real peace. We unpack how the same system that created comparison, pressure, and burnout is now trying to fix it — and why that never fully works.

In this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Why self-help isn’t making us happier

When working harder, being more disciplined, and doing everything “right” still doesn’t make life feel good, it’s not failure — it’s information.

In this episode of Launch Your Rocket, Jen Smith breaks down why so many people feel empty even when their lives look successful — and why the problem isn’t effort, motivation, or discipline.

It’s the blueprint.

This conversation explores how the world’s self-help model teaches coping and optimization, but misses the deeper alignment that actually produces peace, clarity, and fulfillment.

If you’ve checked the boxes, built the life, and still feel restless, burned out, or quietly dissatisfied — this episode will help you understand why, and what starts to change when you try a different way.

The “Let Them” theory has helped a lot of people feel temporary relief — but relief isn’t the same as healing.

In this episode of Launch Your Rocket, I share why “Let Them” teaches us how to manage emotions without ever transforming the heart — and why that’s why the ache keeps coming back.

This isn’t a clap-back.

We talk about:

why detachment can feel freeing but still leave you resentful

the difference between managing feelings and changing the source

why self-focus keeps us stuck in exhaustion and average living

how Love Them transforms the heart so triggers lose their power

why alignment heals what self-help only manages

“Let Them” helps you cope.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of carrying emotions they’ve “handled” but never resolved — and who senses there has to be a better way to live.

Love Them isn’t a trend.

Every January, the world gets louder.

And if you’re already tired, it can feel overwhelming before the year even starts.

In this episode of Launch Your Rocket, I talk about why most people don’t actually need a new life - they need a steadier heart.

We’ll unpack:

This isn’t about hype or fixing yourself.

If you’ve been feeling worn out, overwhelmed, or quietly disappointed — this episode is for you.

Before we move forward, I want you to know who I am — and why I believe what I’m sharing actually works.

This episode is the beginning of a new season of Launch Your Rocket.

I share the story that shaped my calling, why loss changed the questions I started asking, and how serving people — not striving — led to a life that felt aligned, abundant, and alive.

How many times in your life have you said "Merry Christmas" without actually feeling the enormity of what those words mean? We open the shiny gifts, we feel the "rush" of the holiday, and yet, for many of us, the hole in our hearts remains.

In this special Christmas episode of Launch Your Rocket, Jen dives deep into why this season often feels more anxious than joyful—and how to change that. This isn't a message about behavior management or religious rules; it’s about a rescue mission. Jen explores the truth that peace isn't a vacation or a temporary feeling; it’s a Person.

In this episode, we talk about:

The "Unopened Gift": Why we ignore the one thing that can actually fill our hearts.

The Garden of Eden & The "Black Coat": Understanding how sin (anger, jealousy, comparison) weighs us down and how Jesus literally removes it.

The Hallmark Feeling: Why the world softens in December and how to keep that "warm fuzzy" connection 365 days a year.

The Eternal Perspective: A heartfelt reflection on loss, heaven, and the only thing we can actually take with us when we go.

The "Stove" Analogy: Why God’s rules aren't meant to trap you, but to protect you.

If you’ve been feeling "off," heavy, or just curious if there’s more to this story, this episode is your invitation to lean in.

The “Let Them Theory” sounds freeing — but is it actually bringing peace, or quietly keeping people anxious, busy, and stuck?

In this episode of Launch Your Rocket, Jen Smith breaks down a viral message about “fighting for the first 15 minutes of your day” and unpacks what’s really underneath it. This is not a personal attack — it’s a deeper look at the difference between the world’s blueprint for peace and God’s blueprint for peace.

We talk about:

Why hiding your phone isn’t the same as healing your heart

How your algorithm is a mirror of what you idolise

The difference between managing emotions and being transformed

Why peace shouldn’t require fighting for it

How gratitude, identity, and faith change everything

This episode goes beyond productivity, morning routines, and self-help hacks. It’s about anxiety, comparison, validation, digital noise, and the spiritual root beneath it all.

If you’re a person of faith, curious about faith, or even sceptical — listen anyway. Seek to understand. You might hear something that changes how you start your day — and how you see peace.

Are you following “your truth” but still feeling exhausted, anxious, or directionless? You’re not the only one. Our culture shouts “Live your truth!” louder than ever—yet we’ve never been more confused, overwhelmed, or divided.

In this episode of Launch Your Rocket, Jen Smith breaks down the difference between subjective truth (“my truth”) and Foundational Truth (God’s Truth). We explore why today’s blueprint for happiness—doing whatever feels good in the moment—often leads to anxiety, fragmentation, and burnout… and how Biblical obedience is actually the pathway to real freedom.

Jen also dives into John 14 and 15 to unpack the Holy Spirit’s role as Comforter and examines the viral “Let Them Theory” through a Biblical lens.

✨ Truth vs. Mood — Truth is a constant. It doesn’t shift just because culture or emotions do.

✨ The Park Ranger Analogy — When we ignore God’s map, we wander in confusion and chaos.

✨ Obedience = Protection — God’s commands aren’t about control; they’re about keeping you aligned with joy, clarity, and peace.

✨ Real Peace — God’s peace doesn’t depend on vacations, money, or ideal circumstances. It comes from staying connected to the Vine.
