  • EP 21 | Faith, Fatherhood & Fighting Forward

    In this deeply personal episode of Random Thoughts – Some Useful, Jen shares a conversation with her younger cousin, a Marine whose life has been shaped by unimaginable challenges. At just 25, he has faced the loss of his wife, stepped into single fatherhood, and had to learn how to walk again — all while raising a toddler.

    Together, they explore the weight of racism, the grind of building work ethic, the anchor of faith, and the mindset shifts that allow resilience to rise from hardship. This is not just a story of survival — it’s a living testimony of perseverance, love, and the will to rebuild.

    If you need encouragement, perspective, or proof that you can keep going no matter what life throws your way, this episode will speak straight to your soul.

    In this episode of Random Thoughts – Some Useful, Jen reconnects with an old friend from 1996 who brings a fascinating mix of backgrounds: aerospace engineering for the FAA, mechanical and civil engineering, jiu-jitsu, firearm safety, and an outdoorsman’s spirit.

  • Ep 18 | Butter, Bacteria, and Bullshit: A Wellness Deep-Dive
    What if healing didn’t have to be complicated? In this episode, of The Bro Sessions, my baby bro and I take it all the way back—to the gut, to the Bible, to the basics.
    We unpack what real health looks like when you stop outsourcing your intuition and start trusting what’s been true all along:
    🥛 Raw milk
    🧈 Butter
    🍞 Sourdough
    🧂 Salt
    🍯 Honey
    - and a big helping of BS we’ve had to unlearn.
    We talk gut health, probiotics, iron levels, hormone suppressants (and how they might be suppressing more than just your hormones), intuitive living, medical gaslighting, and what it takes to break free from systems that benefit from our disconnection.
    This is one for the misfits, the questioners, the ones tired of being sick, tired, and confused. Thanks for tuning in to Random Thoughts - Some Useful with your host,
    Jen! Empowerment coach, cancer survivor, and passionate advocate for
    mindset, faith, and business growth.

  • EP 17 | Bringing Her Home: A Calf and a Legacy

    A Sweet Welcome Home & The Legacy of Regenerative Farming

    In today’s episode of Random Thoughts – Some Useful, I’m sharing one of those grounding, soul-stirring moments—being present as my dear friends brought home their very first baby dairy calf. There’s something sacred about witnessing trust begin to form, especially in a scared animal who chooses to lean in and love anyway.

    But this isn’t just about a sweet calf.

    We dive into what it really means to return to the land, honor legacy, and nourish future generations with regenerative practices—like raw milk, ethical stewardship, and healing through food.

    This is a conversation about roots. About remembering what matters. And about how choosing a different way to live—slower, simpler, and more sustainable—can be one of the most powerful revolutions of our time.

    So if you’ve ever felt the pull to reconnect, reset, or just breathe deeper… this one’s for you.
