In today’s episode, Jeni dives into one of the biggest misconceptions she hears from creatives, florists, and women building businesses: “I’m just not disciplined.”

Spoiler:
Lack of discipline isn’t what’s holding you back — misaligned identity and missing strategy are.

Jeni shares how our bodies cling tightly to old identities, why change feels like danger, and how trying to bulldoze your way into new habits with sheer willpower is the reason most goals collapse.

Instead, she walks through the exact process she’s used in her own life to rebuild her identity — from quitting a 1600-calorie-a-day Mountain Dew habit, to losing weight, to becoming someone who actually likes working out, to managing a family, a farm, and a business without constant overwhelm.

Inside this episode you’ll hear:
