I'm Jen - a white, cisgendered, straight-identifying, American-born woman with a history of Christian and conservative influences. My lived experience is one of solid economic security and educational privilege. All of this shaped the lens through which I viewed life for the majority of my adult years - and it created a comfortable echo chamber where “my existing views were neatly reinforced and alternative ideas were rarely considered…”
This no longer works for me.
I decided to pursue meaningful work, passion projects, and relationships that would serve as "antidotes to the echo chamber." This podcast is part of that work. Rather than put people in stereotypical boxes - I want to grow more curious and open minded. This means listening deeply to another person’s perspective, especially those who differ from me. It means challenging my old paradigms and assumptions.
I pursue this on a public platform because I want to foster this mindset shift in our culture. My guests and I believe that conversations heard here will spur more healthy exchanges, marked by a spirit of inquiry with and for the people in our lives (especially those whom we don’t know or understand yet).

This is a FREE Woman: Trauma Healed Through Movement
This conversation was powerful and a testimony to what is possible! Jacia Kornwise shares parts of her compelling journey from victimhood to survivorship, illustrating the liberating tool of emotional and physical expression. Her energy, clarity, strength and ability to thrive inspires me…
Join us as we explore the deep-seated connection between trauma, movement, and healing.
Her insights are enriched with personal stories, including her childhood adversities and the tragic loss of her brother, and her experience as the victim of a violent crime at age 26.
We cover the science behind how trauma impacts both the mind and body; discussing the concept of generational trauma and how unresolved issues can be passed down through genetic markers, affecting subsequent generations.
Most importantly, Jacia and I recount our personal experiences with trauma, emphasizing the need to reconnect with our bodies to create new neural pathways for healing and freedom.
In this episode, we also explore the power of movement beyond just dance—from grounding tools and breathwork to mind-body awareness as Jacia shares tools from her comprehensive coaching programs.
