Hey there, Joy Seeker — it's Jenn, and welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn! Regret is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck after divorce — stuck in fear, stuck in indecision, stuck in shame, and stuck replaying the past instead of believing in the future. In today's episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, I'm diving deep into how regret destroys your self-trust and how you can finally make peace with your past choices so you can move forward with confidence, courage, and faith. You'll hear the story of a client who carried years of regret over decisions he made during his marriage — regret that kept him frozen and afraid to make any new choices. But when he learned how to release the shame, view his past with compassion, and trust himself again, everything changed. His transformation is a powerful reminder that God can work with any decision we make when our hearts are willing to grow. Inside this episode, we'll explore: • Why regret keeps you stuck in fear • How self-judgment destroys your confidence • A spiritual lens for understanding your past choices • What God actually expects of you (hint: it's NOT perfection) • A step-by-step framework to release regret and rebuild self-trust • How to move forward even when consequences are still unfolding This episode is filled with hope, scripture, truth, and practical tools to help you stop using your past against yourself. If you're ready to choose your future with clarity and courage, this episode is for you. Keywords: LDS divorce, letting go of regret, healing after divorce, rebuilding self-trust, finding confidence again, faith-based divorce support, moving forward after regret, Latter-day Saint divorce, emotional healing, personal growth after divorce, LDS healing, divorce recovery tools, Christian divorce support, overcoming shame, choosing peace, trusting yourself again, Faith Filled Divorce coaching. • Join my exclusive Life Coaching and Divorce Mentoring Program, Faith Filled Divorce, HERE: httpshttps:https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/program-details • Get your FREE Podcast Atlas at: https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/joy-in-the-journey-podcast • Make sure you are part of the Find the Joy With Jenn Fam!

Ted is joined by Alice Florence Orr of Podcast Review, who also just so happens to be a novelist. Her work has been featured in publications including Extra Teeth, The Independent, Scottish Review, Barley Magazine, and The Dillydoun Review. She was awarded The Sloan Prize in 2021 and was shortlisted for the Scottish Book Trust's New Writers Award in 2023.And while Ted can attest Alice is a great person to talk with about podcasting, this conversation centers on the two works of fiction she has in progress, in particular a novel called The Nobody. What started as a thought experiment exploring the headspace of a young woman choosing to defend a disgraced actor has become a multi-POV story wrestling with the alluring, the confusing, and the toxic aspects of Hollywood.Alice and Ted talk about overheard conversations as a writing device, the challenge of sustaining compelling plots, and balancing market realities with staying true to your voice and vision. They also discuss how the act of writing itself is the only thing a writer can truly control and the wisdom of attaching your identity to the title of “artist” or “writer” to begin with. Learn more about Alice and her work at aliceflorenceorr.com. Working Drafts episodes and info for requesting transcripts as well as more details about Ted and his books are available on his website, thetedfox.com.

They discuss Corey's entrepreneurial journey influenced by his parents' careers, the evolving landscape of digital marketing, and the role and potential of AI in the industry.

Listeners receive actionable digital marketing tips and inspiration for balancing entrepreneurship with personal purpose.   Takeaways: Pay attention to what the market is asking for. Follow positive signals when exploring new business opportunities or services instead of pushing an idea that isn't gaining traction. Prioritize platforms that align with your target demographics instead of attempting to be active on all social media platforms. Focus on a few and do them exceptionally well. Focus on the emotional and cultural fit of potential team members rather than just their resume. Enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a good cultural fit can often outweigh experience.

The industry changes rapidly, and keeping updated with new tools and practices will help you and your business stay competitive.   Quote of the Show: “ Don't be a jack of all social media sites, master of none.” - Corey Perlman   This Show Is Sponsored by The Business Transition Sherpa® 100 percent of owners will leave their business one day.

Hey Joy Seekers — welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn! I'm so glad you're here with me today. Every week, I get to sit down with you and talk about how to find joy, peace, and healing — especially in life's hardest moments. Today's episode is one that has been on my heart for a while, and honestly, I think it's one of the most important topics we can talk about when we're going through divorce, heartbreak, or any major life challenge. We're going to talk about the difference between learned helplessness and learned hopefulness. Here's the big idea: if we can “learn” helplessness — which many of us have without even realizing it — then we can also learn hopefulness. And when we're facing something as difficult as divorce, that's not just a good idea… It's survival. So stick with me, because by the end of this episode, I want you to walk away with three practical ways you can start retraining your mind for hope instead of helplessness. ✨ Want more personalized support on your healing journey? ✨ Sign up for a FREE Reclaim Your Joy Strategy Session — a private, faith-filled space to explore where you are, clarify where you want to go, and leave with a practical tool to help you move forward with confidence and joy.

What's the most important value to have when you're running your own business? According to Molly McGrath, Founder of Hiring and Empowering Solutions, it's accountability. Listen in as Host Laurie Barkman talks with Molly about her unique perspective on the entrepreneur gene - a desire for control and freedom, stemming from an anti-authoritarian mindset. Molly highlights the importance of teaching employees to be intrapreneurs, involving them in decision-making processes, and implementing incentive-based compensation models. The episode also emphasizes the significance of accountability, time management, and having a clear vision for both personal and professional growth.   Takeaways: Make a list of tasks that drain your energy versus those that light you up. Use this list to create job descriptions and hire the right team members to take on these tasks. Establish a culture of accountability within your business. Hold daily huddles or weekly stakeholder meetings to discuss progress, challenges, and ideas. Provide employees with the resources and support needed to achieve their goals, fostering growth and fulfillment within your team. Begin planning your exit strategy early, so that you are prepared when the time comes for you to leave your business.   Quote of the Show: “ When you have a board of directors in your life that supports you and shines a flashlight on you, it really helps.” - Molly McGrath   This Show Is Sponsored by The Business Transition Sherpa® 100 percent of owners will leave their business one day.

This includes minimizing owner dependency and investing in aspects that increase business value.   Quote of the Show: “ If you want to build something that's really valuable, you can do that but you have to be serious about it.

We wrap with a Geek Freaks Network roundup and what's coming next after L.A. Comic Con. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome and quick update on the solo episode and injury progress 00:13 L.A. Comic Con plans and Crocker Con audio hiccup 01:05 Marvel's Wolverine preview Insomniac's tone and combat vibe Omega Red, Mystique, Sentinel prototype Locations: Canadian wilderness, Tokyo, Madripoor Fall 2026 window 07:14 Spider-Man: Brand New Day casting Marvin Jones III as Tombstone Why Tombstone fits a grounded street-level story July 31, 2026 release window mention 10:11 The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer reactions Old-school adventure tone, IMAX tease Jabba's son, Razor Crest, Zeb, big set pieces May 22, 2026 theatrical date 13:30 Alien Earth season one finale review Atmosphere, performances, pacing issues Strong build but an ending that feels incomplete 22:08 Gen V season two premiere thoughts Handling of Chance Perdomo's character, new Dean Cipher Social media propaganda thread, Starlight cameo Character beats for Marie, Emma, Kate, Jordan, Sam 30:23 Network roundup Challenge Accepted, Fandom Portals, Distance Nerding, Anime Plus, Disney Moms Gone Wrong, Outlast Podcast 32:38 Closing and what's next Key Takeaways Marvel's Wolverine aims for a tight, visceral action experience with God of War-style pacing and a clear M rating. Expect meaningful counters to Logan's healing and a global thriller feel. Tombstone casting locks in Marvin Jones III, a performer with the presence to anchor Spider-Man's street-level stakes without tipping into pure fan service. Mandalorian and Grogu looks like a pulpy, planet-hopping romp built for IMAX with classic imagery and bigger set pieces. Alien Earth nails mood and performances but ends the season too abruptly, landing closer to incomplete than cliffhanger. Gen V season two returns with sharp ideas about image and control, a compelling new dean, and messy human beats that set the table for a stronger mid-season run. Quotes “You're going to feel like you're playing a God of War-ish game.” “There are definitely things that can slow him down, and they're setting this game up to make every decision feel impactful.” “This looks like old adventure energy, the kind of poster that sparks your imagination.” “There's a difference between cliffhanger and incomplete. This felt incomplete.” “It's a bold but messy return for Gen V.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this episode, follow the show, rate us 5 stars, and leave a short review to help more geeks find us.
