  • The Sustained Act—Finding Heroism in the Everyday

    Welcome to Shero, the podcast dedicated to celebrating the women who change the world, one courageous act at a time. I'm your host, Jen, and when we think of a hero, we often picture the cape, the flash of light, the single, glorious moment of salvation.

    But what happens the day after the disaster? What about the strength it takes to show up, day in and day out, for a fight that never ends? Today, we’re challenging the myth of the momentary hero to explore a deeper, more enduring kind of courage: The sustained act of heroism.

  • Family Members That I Saw as My Heroes & Sheroes Growing Up

    Some of what I’m going to talk about might be triggering for you if you have experienced family drama, sexual abuse, or difficult times in your family. When I was growing up I always thought of my parents and brother when I thought of who were heroes or mentors in my life. I thought of them because they were and continue to be so supportive of me with the challenges I have faced in my life especially the NLD, migraine, and traumatic related ones.

  • “The Playpen Rescue”

    In this heartwarming story, 29-year-old Jennifer saves her dad from a dangerous fall while he’s hanging a picture over the stairs. As he slips, Jennifer quickly drags over a soft puppy playpen—meant for their two dogs, Snickers and Sassy Pants—and manages to catch him just in time. Calm and focused, she checks on him, gently moves the puppies out of the way, and then helps him up, turning a near-disaster into a moment of unexpected heroism and love—all thanks to quick thinking and a dog pen not exactly designed for dads.

  • "The Quiet Power of Everyday Heroism"

    In this episode of Shero, we redefine what it means to be heroic—moving beyond capes and headlines to honor the quiet, daily acts of courage that often go unseen. From setting boundaries to showing up on hard days, we explore how real heroism lives in resilience, softness, and self-trust. This is a reminder that you don’t have to be loud to be legendary—you’re already a shero, exactly as you are.

About Shero: Be Your Own Hero

From the publisher's feed

Is a podcast to empower men and women to be heroes in their own lives. You don’t have to look outside to find a mentor or hero figure in your life. All you need to do is look inside and realize that you are your own hero. Have you experienced a trauma in your life that strengthened you and made you who you are today? Rather than destroy you or weaken you? Unfortunately, I have experienced some traumatic things in my life. But I have turned my life around with support from my family and friends. In addition to that, I have had 7 years of therapy and continue to attend it.
