EPISODE 34

Welcome to Season 2 of our mini-series Jen + Jonny: Unhinged Together! In this series, anything goes. Unhinged Together is all about authentic, unfiltered discussions that leave no stone unturned. We're going to unravel the messiness and embrace the craziness that comes along with navigating various aspects and seasons of life. We hope to leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take on life's unpredictable journey and we promise to not hold anything back as we get Unhinged Together.

In today's episode, we answer questions submitted by JGFG Sweatysisters. In true unhinged fashion, the topics are random but the conversation will make you laugh and leave you wondering what we'll talk about next!

This week, we challenge you to love yourself and your spouse in whatever season you're in. Whether you are an entrepreneur, newly postpartum, learning to accept your spouse for who they are today, or just trying to find balance in your crazy life, you have the option to see the positive or the negative in every situation. Choose the positive and learn to love EVERY season!

In this episode, Jonny and I discuss:

• Our opinions on quick fixes to fitness
• Marriage during postpartum
• Our hobbies, pet peeves of each other, and celebrity crushes

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 32

Do you tend to overtrain and push your body beyond its limits without adequately resting and fueling your body? Do you go through phases of intense workouts and strict meal plans only to eventually feel burnt out. You may even end up losing all the progress you made.

If this sounds like you, give this episode a listen. It's time to break the cycle and start regularly taking the time to step back and evaluate where you are and how you'll move forward. The goal is not to constantly push your body to failure. This will just lead to injury, burnout, or a plateau. We want sustainability. Longevity over intensity.

This week, I challenge you to listen to your body. If you are feeling fatigue, snapping at your family members, or even starting to notice persistent injuries, it's time to step back and focus on resting and fueling your body.

This episode is for you if:

• You are constantly pushing your body past its limits
• You know the feeling of burnout all too well
• You are feeling fatigue, irritability, or experience persistent injuries

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 29

Dorene Boehler is a true testament that your mindset is everything. When she joined Jen's Get Fit Group in 2020, she was convinced she would fail, but decided to give it a try for a month. She struggled through each workout, but found that she was able to do more than the day before. Now, she challenges her body in ways she never thought possible. And she has overcome so much during her time with JGFG. All because she decided to believe in herself.

You really become how you think. Make it a point to put positive thoughts in your head. Surround yourself with positive people. Focus on the good things in life. Focus on what you are gaining on your journey rather than what you want to lose. You have the power to change your mindset. The physical changes will come after you focus on growing internally.

This week, we challenge you to remove the phrase "I can't" from your vocabulary. You can. And you will. Just try your absolute best and you will be surprised how much you can achieve.

Today, Dorene shares:

• Her journey to joining JGFG
• How JGFG has impacted her mindset
• The importance of focusing on YOUR journey

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 28

In today's episode, I introduce you to two of my best friends, Darcie Raney and Stephanie Jones. They are long time members who have been my friends through some good, bad, and ugly times. But what I've found is that they have always been the friend that I need and that is so special to me.

You will both laugh and feel inspired by this conversation. We talk through the importance of having friends that make you feel like sunshine, how to navigate those that don't, a quick game of two lies and one truth, and wrap it up with questions from our sweatysisters.

This week, we challenge you to listen to God telling you to reach out to that person you've been thinking about. It's not a coincidence. Stop making excuses. Send the text. Make the call. Be the friend that you need.

Today, Darcie and Stephanie share:

• Their fitness mindsets as runners vs. weightlifters
• Being the friend that you need and empowering others
• Tips on how to balance being your child's mom and best friend while also keeping their respect

For more on Darcie's story, listen to episode 25!

EPISODE 27

In this episode, I give a recap on the goals of the 12-week challenge we just completed inside of JGFG and what the results have been so far. SPOILER ALERT: they're amazing! I mean, absolutely jaw dropping! Head to toe. Inside and out. And I don't want to lose the momentum we gained over the last few months, so I'm giving daily actionable steps to continue working our minds AND our muscles as we head into the fall.

I also talk about consistency and how staying consistent is more important than the amount of workouts you do per day. Small consistent steps will always win over huge unrealistic actions that are probably only hindering your results anyway. 30 minutes of activity everyday is so much more effective than pushing hard day in and day out and burning yourself out or causing an injury.

Your assignment for this week: Talk nice to yourself. Be proud of yourself. Respect yourself. And BE CONSISTENT! Whatever that may look like for you. And don't forget to celebrate the small wins along the way.

This episode is for you if:

• You are looking for ways to avoid burnout when it comes to fitness
• You would like tips on how to stay consistent when pursuing your fitness goals
• You're ready to celebrate all the wins, especially the small ones

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 26

Amanda Kay is proof that in Jen's Get Fit Group, you get what you give. When you are intentional about posting and encouraging others, you tend to increase your own efforts. And when you are feeling down, other sweatysisters notice and they are there to help pick you back up.

JGFG is full of incredibly supportive women just like Amanda and those qualities will even trickle down to your kiddos if you let them. If you didn't already realize, they are always watching and learning even if you don't think they are. In today's episode, Amanda explains how she incorporates motherhood into fitness and pushes herself to be a great example for her daughters.

This week, we challenge you to write down the little things you're grateful for. Not your family, friends, general health, etc. - those are a given. Take some time to think of the small stuff that you really appreciate. And don't forget to go back and review your list when you're having a hard day! Because when you're thinking about the positive, there's no room for the negative.

Today, Amanda shares:

• What JGFG means to her
• Her journey to joining JGFG
• Why she's now a believer in picking up the heavier weights

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.
