Welcome back to the Vulnerability is Cool podcast—recording live from Bali, baby. This episode is all about choosing yourself, fully, unapologetically, and without waiting for permission. We dive into what it really means to believe that you are highly favored, by the universe, by life itself. It’s not about luck; it’s about stepping into the energy that everything is working for you, not against you. I talk about: How growing up Mormon made me believe I was "highly favored of the Lord"—and why I still carry that belief, just in a whole new way What it’s been like starting my yoga teacher training in the Bali jungle (yes, it’s magical) Reprogramming the mind to stop expecting the worst and start calling in actual good things Why stepping into your power isn’t just a mindset shift—it’s a whole new way of moving through life And honestly? This episode is your sign. Stop waiting. Stop shrinking. Stop doubting if the life you want is meant for you. It is. But you have to choose it.

Spela Senare Spela Senare Listor Gilla GilladOn this weeks episode I am sitting in a random corner of the Denver airport recording this because I refuse to let inconsistency win. Today, we’re talking about the victim mindset. How it’s keeping you small, keeping you stuck, and keeping you from living the life you actually want. And trust me, I say this with love, because I had to learn this the hard way. In this episode, we’re diving into: The exact moment my therapist looked me dead in the eyes and said, “Jenna, when are you gonna stop playing the victim?” (and how that slapped me into reality). How to stop waiting for life to get easier and actually get stronger instead. The subtle ways you might be keeping yourself stuck (dating the same toxic people, complaining about the same sh*t, blaming everyone but yourself). The mindset shifts that actually changed my life and how you can start making them today. And because I am in my affirmation era: "I am exactly where I am meant to be." Say it with me. This episode is a love letter and a wake-up call all in one. If you're ready to stop feeling like life is happening to you and start realizing how much control you actually have, this one’s for you. @vulnerabilityiscool @jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.com Thank you for listening, ily xoxo…

51:52 Spela Senare Spela Senare Listor Gilla Gillad51:52
Spela Senare Spela Senare Listor Gilla GilladWelcome back to Vulnerability is Cool! This episode hits close to home—because we’re talking about something that’s shaped a lot of my life: OCD. My friend Noah is joining me today, and honestly, this is one of the rawest, most important conversations I’ve had. Noah has been living with OCD since he was just 10 years old, and his story is intense. From moral OCD to relationship OCD and everything in between, Noah opens up about how it’s impacted every part of his life—even leading him to some really dark places. And still, he’s here. He’s thriving in the midst of it all, even smashing it in summer sales (which, if you’ve ever done, you know is no joke). What I love about this episode is how real it gets. Noah and I both know how OCD isn’t just some cute little quirk—it’s a beast that can take over your thoughts and your life. But we also talk about what it’s like to keep going, to sit with those dark moments, and somehow still find your way through. This conversation is about giving OCD a voice, breaking down the misconceptions, and sharing what it’s like when your mind becomes your biggest challenge—but also your greatest teacher. @noah.toly on instagram! @vulnerabilityiscool @jennajarvisjarvis vulnerabilityiscool.com Thank you for listening, ily xoxo…
