Episode Description Have you ever paused to reflect on where your patterns of strength, resilience, or even overwork come from? In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I'm joined by licensed therapist and mother-daughter relationship coach Brittney Scott to explore how the examples set by the women before us—our mothers, grandmothers, and communities—shape how we show up in life, love, and leadership today. This episode isn't about blame—it's about blessing the roots we've grown from. The truth is, our mothers and elders modeled what they knew with love and strength, and because of them, we have the opportunity to build with even more intention, harmony, and healing. Brittney and I talk about how to move beyond survival mode, redefine what success and self-care mean for you, and find the middle ground that honors both where you come from and who you're becoming. This episode is dedicated to my mother—for her love, sacrifice, and example of strength. Because of her, I can stand in my purpose today and help others do the same.     Show Notes While on the I Choose Me Book Tour, I sat down with licensed therapist and mother-daughter relationship coach Brittney Scott for an empowering discussion about legacy, growth, and healing through self-awareness. We explore how the lessons and behaviors we witnessed growing up—whether from our mothers, fathers, aunties, or communities—become part of our own blueprint. Sometimes those patterns help us thrive; other times, they invite us to pause and redefine what truly feels aligned. Brittney, who is also one of my former mindset coaching clients, shares how a mindset shift helped her navigate overwhelm while her husband was deployed, creating deeper understanding and balance within her family. This conversation is close to my heart. My mother's strength, love, and perseverance have deeply shaped who I am. This episode serves as a celebration of that foundation—a reminder that healing isn't about doing the opposite of what we were taught, but about finding harmony between wisdom, growth, and grace. In this episode, you'll learn: How learned behaviors influence how we lead, love, and care for ourselves. Ways to move from survival mode to intentional living without guilt or burnout. The importance of self-awareness in breaking cycles and building new ones with love. Why healing is about alignment, not opposition—and how to find your own middle ground. How gratitude for your roots can coexist with your desire to evolve and expand.     Timestamped Highlights [00:00:07] I introduce the topic: how the mother-daughter relationship can be at the root of many issues women face today. [00:02:23] Brittney shares her experience as a coaching client and the mindset shift that helped her manage overwhelm. [00:04:18] Brittney explains how she niched down to focus on mother-daughter relationships after realizing it was the core issue for many of her therapy clients. [00:06:21] Brittney reveals her word of the year is "stretch," and why she feels the need to move out of her comfort zone. [00:08:27] A powerful quote is shared: "If you liked your first product, you waited too long to start". [00:09:23] What "I choose me" means: choosing your own life and needs first. [00:14:27] Brittney explains the pitfall of just doing the opposite of what your mom did, instead of finding a balanced approach. [00:18:06] Brittney shares her top three practical tips for healing and growth in your relationships.

Jennie Garth is best known to Gen-Xers for her iconic role playing Kelly Taylor on the megahit television series Beverly Hills 90210.  Fans of the show may remember Kelly's pivotal “I Choose Me” episode (airing thirty years ago this past May) when she stood between dreamboats Brandon and Dylan and declared that she was choosing herself.  Jennie shaped an entire era of pop culture, and now, at fifty-two, she is embracing an incredible new chapter of life—one filled with bold conversations about aging, empowerment, self-love, and the beautiful messiness of midlife. Through her thought-provoking “I Choose Me” podcast and a forthcoming memoir of the same name, Jennie is using her platform to champion other women over fifty by challenging outdated narratives around aging and sparking empowering conversations. Today, Jennie, Jen and Amy talk about what choosing yourself looks like on a normal day, and what it means to be graduate beyond our growing family years into a more independent space where a new age of self-discovery is possible because, as Jennie reminds us, choosing “you” isn't selfish—it's the most powerful act of self-respect. Thought-provoking Quotes: “It was through my conversations with fans, whether it was on social media. or at autograph events that I kept hearing, ‘I didn't know I could choose me until Kelly Taylor told me it was an option.'” – Jennie Garth “If I had gone to college and lived a normal life, then I would have learned things that I didn't actually end up learning until I was in my forties and fifties. So now I'm just searching like, ‘What did I miss and how can I be better? How can I learn more about myself?'” – Jennie Garth “You look around on social media and you see other people's lives and think, ‘My God, they have it all figured out.' And I just never felt like that personally.” – Jennie Garth “Loving yourself is a journey and it's imperative to your wellbeing.” – Jennie Garth “I don't want to please people by being what they want me to be or fitting into this character's shoes. I love acting and I'll never not love acting. But I had to take the bull by the horns and take control of my life.” – Jennie Garth “Competition amongst women was real. It was just part of the  world I grew up in. I had to be better than the next girl. What a waste of so much precious time and energy. I used to be intimidated by other women's success or knowledge or position. I kick myself for all the years of lost opportunity of that kind of camaraderie and connection with other women. I feel it so strongly now. It's something that can never be quieted again,” – Jennie Garth Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098749/ Tori Spelling - https://www.instagram.com/p/DKAANczu145/?hl=en I Choose Me Women's Summit 2025 - https://jenniegarth.com/pages/i-choose-me-movement I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose & Embracing Reinvention by Jennie Garth - https://amzn.to/44d8eMM Me by Jennie Garth QVC Collection - https://jenniegarth.com/pages/me-by-jennie-garth Feeding America - https://www.feedingamerica.org/partners/entertainment-council/jennie-garth American Heart Association - https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/at-the-heart-of-it-with-nancy-brown/the-power-of-positivity-with-jennie-garth Guest's Links: Website - https://jenniegarth.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jenniegarth/ Twitter - https://x.com/jenniegarth Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jenniegarth TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@officialjenniegarth Podcast - https://jenniegarth.com/pages/i-choose-me-podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

“Protecting your peace isn't selfish—it's sacred and non-negotiable” – Coach Jineen This episode is a soul reminder for every woman who's ever sacrificed her peace just to keep the peace. #resilience I'm joined by special guest Temika L., a purpose-driven woman and author who knows firsthand the cost of people-pleasing, overextending, and wearing the “strong” mask for too long. Not to mention, a pastor and coach! In this transparent conversation, we unpack what it really takes to choose peace over pressure—and how to rebuild when you've lost yourself trying to be everything for everyone else. Together, we explore: What it means to truly protect your peace in motherhood, work, and relationships The moment Temika realized peace was her non-negotiable—and what shifted Letting go of guilt when prioritizing yourself (even when others don't get it) How faith, boundaries, and healing are all connected to personal freedom What choosing peace can look like in your daily routine, not just your dream life The messy but necessary journey from survival mode to sacred alignment   Temika's journey is a powerful reflection of the I Choose Me movement—learning to say “yes” to yourself without guilt and “no” without apology.   Her story shows us that choosing peace is an act of radical self-love, and sometimes the first step is simply deciding you're worthy of more.   “My peace is priceless.” – Temika L.   If you've been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally depleted, or just tired of the noise—this episode is your permission slip.   Peace is not passive—it's a power move. And reclaiming it might be the boldest thing you ever do.
