In this powerful episode of The Jen Keller Show, Jen invites you into a transformational conversation about becoming the woman you want to be one year from now. Not the goals. Not the titles. Not the achievements. But the identity you’re building—day by day, choice by choice, from the inside out.

Jen breaks down why “someday” thinking keeps us stuck, how real growth always begins with identity, and why the uncomfortable “in-between” seasons are often the most important ones in our becoming. She shares practical steps, mindset shifts, and simple daily habits that help you start the build today—even if you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or uninspired.

If you’re ready to align your actions with your purpose, anchor your identity, and step into the strongest, healthiest, most grounded version of yourself next year… this episode is your starting point.

The build starts now.

In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it’s important that we know who’s we are & who we are.

We aren’t called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that’s it. It doesn’t have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions!

I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be.

And, that takes intention, that takes action

: My goal is to drop some wisdom, bring you resources and that takes community.

In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, I open up about the season I’m walking through—a season that doesn’t feel exciting, inspired, or even motivating. It’s a flat place, a quiet middle, where nothing feels “wrong,” yet everything feels still. I share parts of my personal journal, the discouragement I’ve wrestled with, and the strange mix of contentment and confusion that’s been sitting in my chest.

This is an honest look at the in-between… the place where faith matters most. If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, or unsure of what’s next, this conversation will give you permission to breathe, be, and trust that God is still working—even when you don’t feel a thing.

In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, Jen continues the conversation from last week’s episode on Disappointment as a Leader — but this time, she’s turning the focus inward.

What happens when your cup runs dry? When you’ve been pouring into your team, your business, and your family, but haven’t stopped to refill yourself?

Jen unpacks the real signs that your cup is empty — fatigue, frustration, brain fog, loss of clarity — and how ignoring them will always catch up to you. Through faith, reflection, and practical tools, she shares how to refill your energy, restore your mindset, and return to leading from overflow instead of exhaustion.

If you’ve been giving and giving but feeling less and less full, this episode will remind you that:

Your cup matters. Rest isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom. Working on yourself is working on your business.

Tune in, take a breath, and let this be your reminder to refill — because when you’re full, you lead with freedom, clarity, and impact.

Leadership isn’t just about success — it’s about how you respond when success feels far away.

In this episode, Jen dives into one of the hardest truths about leadership: the disappointment that comes when someone you believe in quits right before it takes off. From years of experience as an entrepreneur, coach, and leader, she shares how to navigate the heartbreak of unrealized potential — and how to keep leading strong when others fall short.

You’ll learn:

• Why consistency and belief are the real differentiators in business
• The five things every high performer needs to stay self-sufficient and accountable
• How to lead through disappointment without burning out
• The 80/20 principle of leadership and how to apply it with grace
• How to protect your energy, focus, and mindset when others choose to quit

This is raw, tactical, and packed with truth for every leader who’s ever wondered, “Why do they give up when it’s about to work?”

If you’ve ever led with your heart — this one’s for you.

There’s a difference between being in flow and being stuck in hustle mode.

In this episode, Jen unpacks what it looks like to work hard from a place of joy, mission, and alignment — instead of pressure, fear, or scarcity.

 

As leaders, how we show up matters. When we operate from burnout, we model burnout. But when we move from passion and purpose, we create a ripple effect of energy and empowerment in our teams and families.

 

This conversation is your reminder that you don’t have to grind harder to make a greater impact — you just have to get your heart in the right place.

Freedom and flexibility at work sound amazing — but they only work when they’re rooted in trust and responsibility. In this episode, Jen unpacks the balance between giving people the freedom to work how and when they work best, and the accountability required to sustain that freedom.

You’ll hear why trust has to be given before it’s earned, how micromanaging destroys culture, and what it really takes — from both leaders and team members — to build a thriving, high-performance environment.

If you’re a leader building a culture of ownership, or a team member who values flexibility, this episode will challenge and inspire you to rise to the level of trust you’ve been given.

Tune in to learn:
• Why freedom and micromanaging can’t coexist
• How to build a culture rooted in trust and accountability
• What leaders and employees both need to do to make flexibility work

This one’s all about leadership, ownership, and the power of trust in action.

In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, Jen dives into one of the most transformational skills in leadership, parenting, and personal growth—having courageous conversations.

 

We all know the feeling of sensing something needs to be said but choosing silence out of fear, discomfort, or the desire to keep the peace. But the truth is: when we delay the conversations that matter, we shrink our window of impact.

 

Jen unpacks how courageous conversations, when led with care, love, and intention, can change the trajectory of someone’s growth—and how avoiding them can limit it. Through real examples from her coaching and leadership experience, she shares how to approach these conversations with purpose, how to build the relational credibility that gives your words weight, and how to make sure your courage serves the other person’s growth—not your own comfort.

 

This episode is your reminder that courage, spoken in love, is the true changemaker.

In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, we dive into Ezra 1:1–6 and Luke 16–18 to uncover what it means to rebuild after a season of exile, loss, or setback. Just as God stirred the heart of King Cyrus to release His people and provide for the rebuilding of the temple, He is moving in your life today—aligning people, resources, and opportunities to help you rise again.

We’ll talk about:

• How God uses unexpected people and situations to fulfill His promises.
• Why rebuilding requires both faith and action.
• What it looks like to rebuild your “temple” in family, business, and life.
• How Luke 16–18 shows us the heart posture needed to steward well, stay humble, and trust God as we rebuild.

This episode will challenge you to see your own season of rebuilding as a divine invitation—God is calling you forward, but it’s up to you to take the step.

Heal First: How Not to Live Through Your Kids

Too many parents feel the pull to live through their children — chasing unfinished dreams, projecting unhealed wounds, or tying identity to their kids’ success. In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, Jen unpacks why this happens, the science of how trauma echoes across generations, and how faith and healing can stop the cycle. You’ll also hear practical, research-backed ways to raise mentally tough kids with love and structure — without harshness or control.

Because the best gift you can give your child is a healed and whole parent.

In this episode, Jen unpacks:

• Why parents are tempted to live through their kids — and how unprocessed pain fuels it.
• The science of how trauma can echo across generations (yes, even through our DNA).
• How unhealed wounds become projections that create perfectionism, anxiety, or people-pleasing in our kids.
• Why God calls us to shepherd, not control — and how trust and healing go hand in hand.
• Practical steps to heal yourself so you don’t pass down generational cycles.
• Research-backed strategies for raising mentally tough, resilient children — without being harsh or abusive.

You’ll also hear about the importance of authoritative parenting — that beautiful balance of high expectations and high warmth that helps children build resilience while knowing they are deeply loved.

Research & Sources I referenced 

1. Yehuda, R. et al. — work on intergenerational effects and FKBP5 methylation in Holocaust survivors and offspring (studies showing altered methylation patterns). 
2. Research summaries and recent reviews on epigenetics and trauma, including reviews on epigenetic markers associated with PTSD and intergenerational inheritance. 
3. CDC findings on prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) — about 63.9% of U.S. adults reporting at least one ACE; 17.3% reporting four or more. (Good to include in show notes as context.) 
4. Reviews and studies linking authoritative parenting with better resilience and outcomes for children (authoritative = high warmth + high expectations). 
5. SAMHSA / CAMH / AAP resources on child trauma, resilience, and practical parenting strategies (for practical guidance and further reading).
