WELCOME TO OUR VERY OWN PODCAST STUDIO: Studio plans, Bravo drama, and life updates Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

SURPRISE!!! This week’s episode is a BIG one—because we’re officially building out our own studio (!!!!!) and stepping into a whole new era.

We talk about what it’s really looked like behind the scenes: getting honest with ourselves, taking risks, and pushing through the uncomfortable parts to actually go after what we want. For the first time, we’re starting to see the fruits of our labor come back around—and learning how to slow down enough to feel grateful for it. We also share a reminder we both needed: you can be in the absolute lowest place and still turn things around. Truly.

Then of course… we get into the BRAVO of it all. Our (mainly Jill's) raw, unfiltered reactions to the Ciara/West/Amanda drama. We talk about where the line should be, why Jill's ALMOST lowkey feeling bad for Amanda (??), and how important solid friendships are—especially when things get messy. Who speaks up? Who stays quiet? And how many people just turn a blind eye? and of course our biggest question, WHY?!

We wrap with some life updates:

- Jill's at home coffee shop (Breville update)
- a gut health update (H. pylori & muscle testing)
- Jill's new job
- Jenna's part time job
- Duke’s attack
Gratitude mindset

Dave Friedberg on Optimizing Your Gut Microbiome, the Power of Fiber & the Mindset for Success Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we sit down with Dave Friedberg—co-founder of Supergut, co-host of the All-In podcast, and former CEO of The Climate Corporation—to break down the science of the gut microbiome and why fiber—specifically resistant starch—plays such a critical role in optimizing it.

Friedberg explains why most common probiotics fail to create lasting change, and introduces resistant starch—a powerful prebiotic—as a more effective way to support long-term gut health. He walks us through how it works, including how beneficial gut bacteria ferment resistant starch to produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which are linked to improved blood sugar regulation, reduced inflammation, and increased production of GLP-1, a hormone that helps regulate appetite.

We also dive into his personal philosophy on health, supplementation, and building a successful career—highlighting the non-negotiable importance of sleep and the role curiosity plays in long-term growth.

How To Play Your Cards: Why Getting Kicked Off My D1 Softball Team Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we dive into Jill’s powerful journey through competitive athletics — from being recruited for softball at a young age to playing at the Division 1 level, and ultimately facing the life-altering experience of being kicked off her D1 team. Jill opens up about the identity loss, shame, and resilience that followed, and how that moment became a catalyst for deep personal growth. We unpack the lessons she learned about self-worth, discipline, failure, and rebuilding confidence when everything you’ve worked for falls apart.

What 2026 Looks Like for Us: Goals, Glow-Ups & Being On Our Sh*t Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

WE'RE HELPING YOU WIN YOUR YEAR. This is our “What 2026 Looks Like” episode — goals, glow-ups, and actually being on our sh*t.

We’re reflecting on what worked in 2025 and what didn’t (burnout, inconsistency, people-pleasing, and winging everything), and why 2026 is the year we stop romanticizing chaos and start being intentional — disciplined, not extreme.

What we cover:

What “being on our sh*t” means to us: FICD (disciplined, consistent, informed, fun-but-intentional)
Shifting from aesthetic goals → strength, muscle, and metabolic health
Setting specific goals for health, career/money, and relationships
Boundaries with wellness noise + hustle culture
Goal setting our dreams + manifestations
How we’re making it happen: SMART goals + systems over motivation

Bringing Lucky Girl Energy Into 2026: How to Manifest the Life You Actually Want Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

Manifestation doesn’t have to feel woo, unrealistic, or reserved for “lucky” people. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to take control of your life using manifestation as a practical, empowering tool. Jenna opens up about her personal journey with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck, and how learning to work with her subconscious helped her shift her life in real, tangible ways. She’s not an expert — just someone who watched manifestation work when nothing else did.

We explore why manifestation matters heading into 2026, how it actually works (subconscious mind, neuroplasticity, energy), and why it’s less about “getting things” and more about becoming the most aligned, confident, magnetic version of yourself.

✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

Why manifestation works (subconscious mind, neuroplasticity & energy)

Rewiring beliefs formed in childhood

Manifesting from your authentic self — not ego

The role of aligned action

Simple manifestation practices (journaling, visualization, vision boards)

Why nighttime visualization is so powerful

What to expect when manifestation starts working (clarity, ease, confidence, opportunities)
