November 11I Knew What Everyone Wanted Until Losing My Mom Made Me Ask What I Wanted
When you’ve spent so much of your life wanting to make your family proud, how do you begin to understand what you want for yourself?

For years, my parents were my why. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I wanted to honor their sacrifices and give back through the life I was building. When I lost my mom, I began questioning the ambition that had driven me for so long.

In this personal episode, I share how grief changed what success meant to me, how breast cancer made me slow down, and what it meant to give myself permission to find my own reason to keep building.

I also introduce the next chapter of The Jenny Torry Show—a talk show for brides. After 18 years working with South Asian brides, I’m bringing those conversations here. Beauty, culture, family expectations, the quiet truths of the wedding industry, and everything you wish you knew before and after saying “I do.”

If you’re balancing what your family wants with what feels right for you, I hope this conversation gives you room to ask yourself the same question I had to ask.

What do I want?

In this episode
How losing my mom changed my sense of identity and purpose.
Recognizing when I was moving through life on autopilot.
Giving myself permission to understand what I wanted.
Making intentional decisions in your wedding and your life.
Why I’m bringing my artistry, teaching, and bridal experience into this next chapter of the show.

October 27 Is Bad Bridal Makeup a Personal Preference? Here's the Truth Nobody Talks About
Have you ever had your makeup done and thought, Something looks off, but couldn't explain why?
Here's the truth: Not everything is personal preference. Sometimes, it's a lack of skill.
In this episode of The Jenny Torry Show, I share what I've learned from 18+ years as a luxury bridal hair and makeup artist about the difference between personal preference and professional artistry.
We talk about why women settle for makeup they don't love, how beauty affects our identity and confidence, and why looking beautiful and feeling beautiful are two different things.
You don't have to be a makeup expert to recognize when something isn't right. Trust your judgment, speak up, and don't settle.

September 01 Why You Resist Makeup, Even If You Wear It and What It’s Really Costing You
Why do so many women resist makeup—even when they know feeling put together can change the way they show up?
In this episode of The Jenny Torry Show, Jenny explores what may really be behind that resistance.
For many women, it isn’t simply about makeup. It can be about years of putting themselves last. Being a wife. Raising children. Building a business or career. Taking care of everyone else. Somewhere along the way, taking time for yourself can start to feel unnecessary—or even selfish.
Jenny shares her own experience with motherhood, marriage, business, self-care, and the beliefs she once carried about makeup.
Because beauty isn’t superficial.
And makeup doesn’t have to be about vanity.
When used intentionally, makeup can be a tool.
A tool that helps you feel polished.
A tool that can amplify confidence.
A tool that helps you show up, speak up, take up space, and get things done.
Every woman deserves to feel beautiful, seen, confident, and like a queen in her own skin.
You are already enough—with or without makeup. Makeup does not create your power. That power was already there.
Sometimes, feeling beautiful simply creates the spark that reminds you of the force of nature that has been inside you all along.
For more than 18 years, Jenny has used makeup intentionally to help her clients bring forward the beauty, confidence, and presence already within them.
Now, she’s teaching women how to develop those skills for themselves through Everyday Glam Made Simple.
Learn how to choose the right tools, understand your makeup, apply it with intention, and create the look you want without depending on someone else to do it for you.

✨ The dark side of competition

✨ How your beliefs shape your results
✨ And what to focus on instead if you actually want to grow

It comes from staying in your lane and mastering your craft.

April 15 The Quickest Way to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others (And Escape the Competition Trap)
Most people are obsessed with competition. Watching others. Comparing. Measuring themselves against what everyone else is doing.
But what if that’s the exact reason they stay stuck?
In this episode, I break down why I don’t believe in competition—and how shifting this belief completely changed the way I move, build, and grow.
If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed by what others are doing, or unsure of your next move… this conversation will reset your mindset.
This is about focus. Ownership. And taking control of your own lane.

April 11Why You Feel Stuck in Life (And How Being Passive Is Keeping You There)
Most people think being passive is harmless.
It’s not.
In this episode, I break down why staying quiet, waiting for the “right time,” and holding back is actually costing you more than you think your growth, your confidence, and your direction in life.
I’m also sharing a real conversation I had with my husband that made something click for me:
Being passive doesn’t create anything.
It only delays what you’re capable of.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, second-guessing yourself, or waiting for clarity…
this is your wake-up call.
You don’t need more time.
You need to move.
In this episode:
What being passive actually looks like (it’s not what you think)
3 reasons passivity is quietly holding you back
How to start taking control of your life today
Take control of your story.
No one is coming to do it for you.

March 05 How to Sell to High-End Brides Without Lowering Your Prices
High-end brides are not looking for the cheapest option.
They’re looking for certainty, experience, and excellence.
If you keep lowering your prices to book clients, you’re attracting the wrong ones.
Luxury brides invest in artists who:
✨ Communicate with confidence
✨ Deliver a premium experience
✨ Show proven expertise
✨ Make the process feel effortless
It’s not about charging more.
It’s about positioning better.
When your brand, messaging, and client experience feel elevated… price stops being the objection.
Stop discounting. Start positioning.
