In this vulnerable episode, I peel back the curtain on my recent struggle with resurfacing childhood trauma. Despite years of therapy, I share how a recent interview unexpectedly reopened old wounds with my father, plunging me into a space of heaviness and contemplation. I reveal the raw moment when I broke down at lunch with friends, finally acknowledging the weight I'd been carrying and allowing myself to receive support instead of always giving it.I offer this deeply personal story as a reminder that healing isn't linear and that even cheerleaders sometimes need their crowns fixed. If you've ever felt like you should be "over" something by now, or if you're struggling beneath a cheerful exterior while feeling broken inside, this episode will validate your experience and remind you that you're never alone in these complicated human emotions—and that asking for help might be exactly the medicine you need.Key Takeaways:Healing from childhood trauma is not a linear processThe power of vulnerability and seeking supportImportance of addressing emotional woundsStrategies for personal growth and self-discoveryFeeling difficult emotions rather than numbing themJen Says: You're Not Too F***ing Old! to do what you need to do to feel good.Learn more about Jen Marples at https://www.jenmarples.comWant to work with Jen?

Tess shares her journey creating the "It Has to Be Me" podcast, inspired by the transformative stories she witnessed through her health coaching. Our conversation explores the permission we need to give ourselves in midlife to finally listen to those whispers (that often become screams) about what we truly want.This episode is your permission slip to embrace that voice inside telling you "It has to be me." Whether you're contemplating leaving a relationship, starting a business, setting boundaries, or pursuing a creative passion, Tess offers practical wisdom for overcoming fear and taking that first step. We unpack how midlife offers us the gift of knowing ourselves better, having more resources at our disposal, and caring less about external validation. If you're on the cusp of making a change but need inspiration and tools to push past fear, this conversation will empower you to take messy action toward your dreams.Key Takeaways:Permission is the starting point“Failure” is simply not trying Fear and excitement activate in the same place in the body Your superpower is often what comes most naturally to you Think bigger than your bigTess Says: You're Not Too F***ing Old!

In this episode, I sat down with my friend and luxury real estate expert Maile Mock to dive deep into the emotional journey of empty nesting - but with a powerful reframe. Instead of viewing it as an "empty nest," we explored the concept of becoming "free birds" and embracing this next chapter of life with excitement and possibility. Maile and I got real about why having our kids leave feels like losing a limb (because it kind of is!) and how the transition evolves from those raw early days of missing them desperately to finding a new rhythm and reconnecting with ourselves. The beauty of my conversation with Maile is that we're both in it right now!We also tackled the practical side of empty nesting, particularly around housing decisions and partnerships. Through Maile's expertise in real estate, we discussed how couples can navigate different visions for their next chapter - whether that's downsizing, moving to the city, or finding that perfect lock-and-leave property that supports a more adventurous lifestyle. I loved exploring how we Gen Xers are rewriting the rules of midlife, with most of us viewing this as a time to start new ventures rather than winding down into traditional retirement. The key takeaway? It's time to give ourselves permission to dream big and explore possibilities we might have put on hold while raising our families. As Maile perfectly summed up - 50 is the new 30, and we have so much life ahead of us to create, grow, and embrace our free bird status.Key Takeaways:1. Empty Nesting is Hard - And That's OK2. The Free Bird Mindset is Game-Changing3. Dream Big But Try Before You Buy4. 50 is the New 30 - Forget Traditional Retirement5.

The Jen Marples Show episode 191 is here!In this special end-of-year episode, I'm doing a roundup of answers to my favorite podcast guest question: "What do you think the best thing is about being in midlife?" I'll start with my own answer - the best thing about midlife is truly not caring what people think! The answers from this year's guests reveal powerful common themes. By far, the most celebrated aspect of midlife is the freedom from caring what others think - and that universal "gift of menopause" where we finally stop giving a f**k about others' opinions. Many guests spoke about the incredible wisdom and perspective that comes with age, allowing them to navigate life's challenges with more ease and clarity. They highlighted the joy of being authentic without apology, the ability to confidently say "no," and the deep self-acceptance that emerges in this stage of life. Several guests emphasized feeling more beautiful and empowered than ever before, while others celebrated the slower pace and intentional choices they're now making. Perhaps most powerfully, many guests shared that they've never felt better - they're finally comfortable in their own skin, enjoying richer relationships, and trusting their intuition in ways they couldn't in their younger years. What I see universally is women stepping fully into their power, wisdom, and authentic selves. Whoo hoo this is what #YNTFO is all about!Let this tiny and mighty episode power you up to YNTFO! You're Not Too F***ing Old!

It's so powerful and insightful. My mom and I got into a juicy and, yes, emotional discussion about what her boomer generation experienced and how they needed to step up and be older, perhaps before they were ready. One example was my mom holding me as a babe in arms and sending my dad off to Vietnam, wondering if he would come back. What a thing to ponder at 24 years old.We also talk about how the responsibilities for women are the same and yet different throughout each generation. We laugh, we cry, and we laugh again. This might be one of the most important podcasts I've ever recorded and I hope you love it as much as I do.My mom and I discuss:Changing priorities, expectations, and parenting styles across generations.Women advocating for their voices and places in a challenging world.Difficulties faced by older women seeking continued employment.How our decisions shape our own and others' lives.Empowering children through choice, responsibility, and resources.Women's challenges and supporting future generations.The power of having one advocate that believes in you.How women can best support each other. My mom says: You're Not Too F***ing Old!

Buckle up, ladies, today we have Patrice Poltzer, a former TODAY Show producer, powerhouse storyteller and online business owner, who's going to whip us into shape and tell us how we can be more successful in business and life using storytelling as a tool! Storytelling allows you to cut through the online marketing noise and attract the right audience to your business. Patrice is so inspiring and shares all her tips and tools on how to tell a great story. She also shares with us how she took her business completely online which allowed her to leave the country with her family of five. She figured out the secret sauce to online sales and she's pouring that into us today!Patrice Poltzer is an Emmy-nominated and award-winning former TODAY Show producer and the head of Patrice Poltzer Creative. She helps people and brands tell their unique stories so they connect with their audiences. She's also a badass mom of three and just relocated her family from NYC to Lisbon, Portugal. She runs her successful business completely online!Patrice and I discuss:The power of storytelling: It's a critical marketing tool that can emotionally connect with strangers.Focusing on a small, loyal audience: It's better to have a small group of highly engaged followers than a large audience with little engagement. Provide value to your audience and they will become your promoters.Not outsourcing your authenticity: You can outsource some tasks like video editing, but it's important to maintain a personal connection with your audience. Your story and voice are a big part of your brand.Investing in yourself: Taking courses or hiring coaches can help you avoid mistakes and reach your goals faster.Starting small and iterating: Don't be afraid to experiment and make changes as you learn more about your audience and business.Getting clear on your ideal customer: The more you understand your target audience, the better you can tailor your message to resonate with them.Being patient: Building a successful business takes time and effort. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results overnight.Overcoming fear: Don't let the mess in your head mess with your message.In a world full of bland AI content, faceless accounts, and an abundance of content, it's critical to use storytelling to Step Into the Spotlight to get seen, heard, paid, and make an impact!Did you take the first step to share an authentic story on social media?
