Overwhelm loves to sound wise. It tells us to cut back, protect our energy, and press pause on “nonessentials.” But when friendship gets labeled as optional, we lose the very support that carries us through demanding seasons. In this second installment of the Friendship Files, Jenna Zint digs into the quiet lie that says, “I have nothing to give,” and shows how that belief isolates us right when we most need people, perspective, and prayer. We explore how growth—new jobs, new babies, new min...

Episode 81: Friendship Files #1 - Losing your consumer mindset
What if the problem isn’t your friends—but the way you measure friendship? We dive into an honest, practical reset on how to build relationships that actually form us, not just flatter us. We explore the subtle consumer mindset that creeps into our closest bonds—keeping score, expecting equitableness on our terms, and treating people like faucets for our needs. Then we turn the lens: friendship as spiritual formation. That means discomfort isn’t a red flag to quit; it’s the...

Episode 80: [I CAN'T] land - the hidden self-sabotage in your language
What if the words you speak are quietly rewiring your brain—and sabotaging your progress? In this episode, Jenna unpacks the surprising difference between saying “I can’t” and “I don’t.” Neuroscience shows that these tiny shifts in language light up different parts of the brain: “I can’t” creates resistance and triggers rebellion, while “I don’t” builds identity and self-control. You’ll even hear about the famous brownie experiment, where people who said “I can’t eat dessert” gave...

Episode 79: When You Stop Fearing Others' Disappointment, Everything Changes

In this episode, Jenna shares a personal breakthrough sparked by a friend’s spiritual dream about the fear of punishment. Through a real-life story of running late, she unpacks how punishment fuels shame and self-focus, while natural consequences can teach and free us to connect authentically.

Episode 78: Time Management - mindsets that will shift your perspective
You're probably already using a calendar—you log everything in your phone app, set reminders, maybe even color-code. And yet… you still feel behind. You’re often late, overwhelmed, or bracing yourself for the big thing you might be forgetting. You’re not alone—and you’re not broken or lazy. But you might be missing a few key shifts in how you approach time management. Because it’s not just about logging things—it’s about how you study, reflect on, and lead your schedule. In this e...

Episode 77: Quit Mind Reading (Stop Assuming, Start Asking)
Breaking the habit of mind reading could transform your relationships forever. We've all done it—someone speaks with a certain tone or gives us a look, and suddenly we're convinced we know exactly what they're thinking. But what if our assumptions are completely wrong? When we respond to what we think people mean rather than what they actually say, we create an invisible dance of disconnect that spirals relationships downward. I've caught myself countless times filling in blanks with someone...

Episode 76: Ditching your "filters"
What happens when someone says “I miss you” and you instantly feel defensive? Or when a simple “sure” makes you think you’re being pushy? Those reactions aren’t random—they’re filters distorting what you hear. In this episode, I share how the stories we tell ourselves hijack conversations and trigger us into REACTING instead of thoughtfully responding. Through personal examples and practical strategies, you’ll learn to spot your own trigger phrases, approach them with curios...

Episode 75: Escaping the Escape Cycle
It's easy to get caught in the "escape cycle"—work hard, feel suffocated, escape on vacation, crash, and then repeat. Vacations give us a quick boost, but they also disrupt our habits, the happiness fades fast, and what we’re really craving—connection, rest, joy, adventure—often goes unmet. In this episode, I unpack why vacations only sort of work and help you ask the deeper question: do I really need another trip, or do I need more balance in my everyday life? This is why I’m launching my ...

Episode 74: Offended? Check your boundaries
Bitterness isn’t just emotional noise—it’s a message. In this episode, we’re unpacking the idea that offense is trying to tell you something. That lingering frustration or replayed conversation? It’s not just about what they did—it’s often about a boundary you haven’t named yet. When you learn to dig for the data, offense becomes a clue—not a character flaw. Ask yourself: What emotion am I actually feeling right now?What boundary of mine may have been crossed?Did I override my internal “no” t...

💡Ever realize your generosity might be more mutual than selfless? That hit me hard when I noticed most of my “giving” went to people who’d likely give back. But what does *true* no-strings-attached generosity look like? A year and a half ago, I started a tiny habit—sharing my leftovers with someone in need at the park. It felt small. Awkward. Inconvenient. But it cracked something open in me. 💬 It's been of journey of learning the difference of what it means to *be with* the poor—not just...

Kingdom generosity isn't just for the wealthy or those with abundant free time—it's a radical mindset shift available to everyone. When we examine our lives through the lens of sharing rather than preserving, entirely new possibilities for connection emerge. Most of us desperately want deeper community but struggle to find it.

Episode 64: From Hustle to Trust- habits of provision
👉 You say you trust God as your provider… but are you living like an employee or a daughter? For years, I operated under an employee mindset—believing provision was a one-for-one exchange. Work hard, hustle, and God will give opportunities. But deep down? My faith was rooted more in my work ethic than in God’s identity. And that left me feeling like: ⚡ It’s never enough. ⚡ I can’t afford to miss an opportunity. ⚡ I’m always behind. But here’s the truth: A Father ...
