Jenna shares how her spiritual life began after a close friend was shot and killed—and how that tragedy opened the door to profound “visitations” and a new relationship with God that reshaped her identity, purpose, and path.From yoga revealing what the mind hides in the body (like chronic tension you don’t even notice) to the reminder that nobody is a guru—only a guide—Jenna breaks down what it actually means to hold responsibility when your work impacts other people’s lives. They challenge popular spiritual clichés like “Let go and let God,” unpacking why bypassing isn’t healing, and why the answers are already inside of you—if you build the capacity to feel.You’ll hear candid insight on pattern recognition (and pattern interrupts), shame and numbing, and how Jenna’s experience with heroin addiction gave her deep compassion for addicts—and the resolve to celebrate four years of sobriety. The episode closes with practical truth: emotions are a superpower, awareness is currency, triggers often come from somewhere else, and affirmations don’t work when your internal dialogue is misaligned—unless you can find evidence your nervous system can believe.Jenna Hedstrom is not your typical spiritual teacher. She’s a mentor for women who feel a deeper call and who are done looking outside themselves for answers. They are ready to become the authority, steward, and conscious creator of their own lives.Her work is grounded in lived experience and over a decade of immersive study. If it hasn’t been embodied, integrated, and tested in her own life, she doesn’t teach it. Period. After moving through addiction, grief, codependence, and years of people-pleasing and seeking validation, Jenna learned how to become self-led in the middle of chaos and move from clarity even when life felt uncertain. The capacity to stay present, sovereign, and anchored in herself became her personal mastery and the foundation of her work.As a powerful space holder and intuitive, Jenna creates spaces where things finally click. She doesn’t help women fix themselves — she helps them remember that every part of them was chosen on purpose, for a purpose. Her work welcomes the full human experience without bypassing or hierarchy, and supports women in transforming how they see themselves, make decisions, relate to others, and sThis podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity. So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
