Today on What She’s Having, we’re joined by Lauren Campbell, CMO of Firefly Recovery — the wearable device redefining how athletes and everyday women recover, perform, and feel their best.

You may have seen Firefly on Shark Tank, but this conversation goes deeper — into the science of recovery, why blood flow is everything, and how this small device can make a big impact on your energy, travel, workouts, and overall wellness.

We also talk about:

• Why recovery is the most overlooked part of health
• The difference between compression socks vs. active blood flow technology
• How Firefly increases circulation up to 400%
• Real-life use cases: travel, workouts, long workdays, even sitting at your desk
• Lauren’s journey from corporate to startup life
• Behind-the-scenes of Shark Tank (what really happens after the deal)
• Why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself

If you’ve ever felt sore, tired, swollen after travel, or just not fully recovered — this episode is for you.

And yes… Jennifer and Britney try the device live on air 👀

In this deeply personal episode, Jennifer and Britney are back — and getting real!

From funny mom moments and behind-the-scenes podcast reflections to an unexpected health scare that stopped everything in its tracks, this episode takes you through the highs, the fear, and the clarity that followed.

This episode is about friendship, resilience, motherhood, and the reminder that life can change in an instant — so how do we choose to live it?

John shares the unbelievable story of being adopted in Boston, discovering his birth parents decades later, and going from failing high school and digging graves to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

But his journey didn’t stop there.

From surviving four brain surgeries and a near-fatal medical condition to finding purpose through faith, discipline, and daily rituals, John explains the mindset that helped him overcome adversity and build the life he once only dreamed about.

We also dive into:

• The discipline that changed his life

John’s story is a reminder that your past does not define your future — but your discipline might.

Then, the room shifts as Shinka delivers powerful messages from loved ones who’ve passed — including a brother’s reassurance, a father’s presence, and the reminder that grief doesn’t end… but healing can begin.
