If “just say no” actually worked, we’d all be free by now — right?But here’s the thing: that advice isn’t empowering, it’s gaslighting in disguise.Let’s talk about what really happens when you try to set a boundary and the world punishes you for it.

In this episode, we’re breaking down that old, tired advice: “Just say no.”Because if it was that easy, none of us would still be people-pleasing, walking on eggshells, or drowning in guilt after every “no” we try to say.

I’ll walk you through:

• Why saying no often feels terrifying (hint: it’s not you — it’s the system that taught you to fear it)How guilt, silence, and “being the difficult one” have trained you to stay small

• And how tiny, safe boundaries — the invisible ones no one sees — can start rebuilding your confidence bit by bit

You’re not broken, my love.The advice you were given was.

So grab your notebook, your coffee, and that little spark of “I’m so done with this,”because we’re about to rewrite the rules together.

✨ DM me the word TOXIC on Instagram if you’re ready to stop going in circles and start building boundaries that actually stick.

Next up: How families disguise control as “concern” (and how to spot it a mile away).

Why frustration is proof you’re ready for something more

You’re not frustrated because life is ‘just hard sometimes’. You’re frustrated because you want more from your life. And that’s ok!

In this episode, I show you

•how to stop wasting energy on things you can’t control

•how to reframe frustration as proof you’re meant for something bigger

•and how to use your frustration to take your next step.

Let’s be real—sometimes the hardest boundaries to set aren’t with other people. They’re the ones inside our own head.

In Part Two of this Boundaries series, I’m asking you to get brutally honest about the quiet truths you tell yourself when life feels heavy—the “I’m not enoughs” and the “I can’t do this” that never make it past your lips but still live rent-free in your mind.

I’ll guide you through a simple but powerful journaling exercise to get those thoughts out of your head, see them clearly for what they are, and start rewriting them into something real, grounded, and empowering.

You’ll also hear the story of a woman who broke free from a lifetime of gaslighting and control—going on to build her own business, create freedom, and finally trust herself again.

Because here’s the truth: when you master personal boundaries, you don’t just protect your energy. You reclaim your voice, your confidence, and your freedom.

Grab your journal—this one’s going deep.

Join my list, I’d love to share updates and hear from you.

Let’s get something straight: “Just speak up for yourself” doesn’t cut it. If setting boundaries were that easy, we’d all be thriving. But most women don’t struggle to speak—they struggle to feel safe when they do.

In this raw, honest episode, Jennifer breaks down what real boundaries actually look like, starting with the ones you set for yourself. From the depths of postnatal depression to walking away from a career she once loved, she shares her story and the exact mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her energy, identity, and voice.

Get your journal, get honest, and get ready—because what you’ll hear today might just be the beginning of your own boundary breakthrough.

This is where it all began. My most popular episode to date—and the one that still gets messages in my inbox every single week. In this conversation, I share the real story of my turning point: navigating postnatal depression, walking away from a career I once loved, and discovering the power of moving differently when life calls you to something more.

You’ll hear the honest questions I still ask myself when things feel heavy, plus a journaling practice that can shift your perspective in minutes.

And—exciting news—I’m in deep creation mode right now for an upcoming two-part series all about The Power of Boundaries. Follow the podcast so you’re the first to hear it when it drops.

Let’s go back to where the journey started… and get ready for what’s next.

Have you ever had a moment where everything blew up in your face— and instead of it tearing you down, you thought! This is not it. I will not allow this happen to me.

This episode is about that moment.

I’m taking you into something deeply personal:

My own relationship with depression, the identity I clung to in my 20s, and how it all started unraveling in my 30s (after I became a mother) in a way that didn’t destroy me.

If you’ve ever been the strong one.

The fixer.

The girl with the plan…

But you still ended up curled up in the dark wondering “How did I get here?” — This episodes for you.

Inside this episode:

🖤 we’ll discuss the myth of the ‘independent woman’ and how it nearly broke me

🖤 What my hardest years taught me about self-worth

🖤 A journaling prompt that will dramatically change the way you speak to yourself

Listen to me very carefully. Your breaking point doesn’t mean it’s over.

It means something real is about to begin.

📓 Get your calendars ready because there’s a very important ‘save the date’ coming soon

✨ And DM me @wellbeingwarrior.ie— I’d love to hear your thoughts

The Easiest Boundary You’ll Ever Set (And Why It’ll Change Everything)

You’ve heard me talk about boundaries before—

But this one? It’s the game-changer most women miss.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the simplest boundary you can set—one that doesn’t need anyone else’s permission, won’t cause backlash, and honestly? No one even needs to know about it.

Because this boundary is with yourself.

We’re diving into:

🖤 How your self-talk shapes your self-worth

🖤 The “invisible” ways you give your energy to people who don’t deserve it

🖤 A journaling prompt that will help you shift your internal world in 30 days

This one was inspired by a real client session (and a real-life Jennifer moment), and I have a feeling it’ll hit home for you too.

📓 Get your notes ready—because you’re going to want to write yourself a new story after this.

✨ DM me @wellbeingwarrior.ie and tell me about your personal boundary win—I’d love to cheer you on.

You’re not lazy.

You’re not unmotivated.

You’re just scared — and still showing up anyway.

This episode isn’t about waiting for the right moment.

It’s about taking the next breath even when your chest is tight.

It’s about choosing to get out of bed even when you’re still grieving.

It’s about doing it afraid.

Inside this one, I’m walking you through:

🖤 The quiet, hidden moments where real courage lives

🖤 Why motivation is the wrong thing to wait for

🖤 The unspoken strength of the woman who shows up — even if she’s shaking

Whether you’re navigating grief, burnout, fear, or just a Monday that feels too heavy — this episode is a hand on your back, reminding you:

You’re not behind. You’re just in it. And you’re doing better than you think.

Grief doesn’t just hit you in the big moments.

It sneaks into the quiet ones—the Tuesday mornings when you’re staring at the kettle, wondering how you’re still upright.

This episode isn’t about “moving on.”

It’s about what it means to keep going—to live through the small, heavy, grey days when your heart still hurts, but you show up anyway.

I’m sharing the story of Irene—my powerhouse of a mother-in-law, and the woman who taught me that unconditional love doesn’t stop at bloodlines.

Inside, I’ll walk you through:

🖤 The invisible parts of grief no one talks about

🖤 A simple reframe that will change how you see your own strength

🖤 What surviving the worst days really says about the kind of woman you are

If you’ve ever wondered how you’re still managing, this one’s for you.

Girls, this one—this one—is close to my heart.

It’s one of the most shared, messaged-about, and talked-about episodes I’ve ever released. And I’m not surprised... because so many of you are right here:

✨ You’ve done the healing.
✨ You’ve broken old patterns.
✨ Life is finally feeling good.

And yet, deep inside… there’s a wobble.

“Can it really be this good?”
“Surely this won't last…”
“What if I’m not actually meant for this kind of life?”

In this raw and real solo episode, I’m walking through my garden (literally) and talking about what happens after the breakdown—when things are soft and light again, and your brain doesn’t quite know what to do with it.

Inside we’ll unpack:

• The sneaky voice of the inner critic that whispers when things go well

• Why joy can feel just as confronting as pain

• The neuroscience of habit stacking and how it builds real, lasting confidence

• A gentle mindset shift to help you receive the good without guilt

• A powerful journaling exercise to start collecting evidence that you are, in fact, worth it

💡 If you’ve ever felt like you’re just “waiting for the bubble to burst”... this episode is for you.

It’s time to let yourself have the good things, without apology.

With love and straight-talking compassion,
Jennifer x

Hey girl—

Ever catch yourself thinking, “This is too good to last”?

You’ve done the work. Dusted off the yoga mat. Journaled. Rebuilt your sense of self piece by piece.

And now… you’re finally feeling ease, joy, and like a weight is off your shoulders.

But instead of celebrating, a voice inside whispers:

“Don’t get used to it.”

This episode is your antidote to that.

I’m speaking straight from my herb garden (yep, real life)—about what happens when your nervous system doesn’t yet trust peace.

Inside, we unpack:

💭 Why the inner critic shows up after your breakthrough

🧠 The neuroscience behind momentum, expansion, and fear

✨ A simple, evidence-building exercise to anchor confidence

🚀 How to stop sabotaging what you asked the universe for

This is the stage nobody talks about on the healing journey—the in-between moment where you’re no longer surviving… but not fully trusting yourself to thrive.

So if you’ve been holding your breath, waiting for it all to fall apart—

Take this episode as a deep breath out.

You’re allowed to feel this good.

And you’re ready to hold more.

🎉 BONUS EPISODE – You’re Invited 🎉
This episode is your sneak peek into the kind of deep, no-BS magic I’ll be teaching live at my next in-person event on June 22nd in Waterford.

Save your seat here

You’ve read the books. Done the therapy. Signed up for the courses. Maybe even pulled a tarot card or two hoping it would finally click.

But the truth still lingers:
You feel stuck.
You keep waiting for confidence to show up before you make the move.
And every time you try to leap—you freeze.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the belief that’s been keeping women small and silent for generations: that you need to feel ready before you start living your truth.

You don’t.
Confidence isn’t a prerequisite. It’s the byproduct.

We’ll unpack:

– Why waiting to "feel confident" is actually a trauma response
– How doing the smallest thing differently rewires your nervous system (not just your mindset)
– What it means to take up space in your own life—even when it feels like too much

And I’ll share the story of the woman who looked like she had it all together—until she realized she was performing her life, not living it (yes, that woman was me).

This isn’t a motivational pep talk.
It’s a reckoning.
A reminder that you don’t need another permission slip—you need to start anyway.

This is a bonus episode to give you a sneak peek into the magic I’ll be teaching at my next in-person event on June 22nd.
👉 Save your seat here

Hello, girlies—we’re doing something new today.

You told yourself you’d speak up when you felt ready.
You promised you’d take the leap once you were sure.

But here’s the truth: confidence doesn’t come first—action does.

And if you keep waiting? That voice in your head just gets louder.

In this raw, no-BS episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why “I’ll do it when I’m confident” is a lie (and how it’s costing you years)

• The real reason you gaslight yourself with “It’ll be grand” (hint: it’s not self-care—it’s self-betrayal)

• How I went from chronic second-guessing (even about what to order for dinner) to running a global business

• What aligned action actually looks like (and why motivation is not the problem)

If you’ve ever postponed a dream, dimmed your voice, or convinced yourself you’re “not ready yet”—this is your sign to press play.

P.P.S. Tag a friend who needs to hear this.

You thought the hotel would fix it.

The guilt. The sick feeling. The whispers in your head about being selfish for wanting rest.

Instead, it made it louder.

In this episode, I break down the real reason women feel sick to their stomachs when they finally do something for themselves. Spoiler: it’s not about the hotel—it’s about a belief system you never asked for but inherited. From your mother. Your granny. A system built on burnout, not boundaries.

I’ll walk you through:

-The nervous system symptoms that show up when you’re finally “off”—but can’t relax

-Why “self-care” feels like self-sabotage the first time you try it

-What healthy resistance actually means (and why guilt might be a green light, not a red flag)

If you’ve ever backed out of a retreat, delayed a solo trip, or said no to an event you wanted to attend because of guilt—this one’s for you.

👉 P.S. I’m running a free live webinar on Thursday June 5th at 8PM Irish time, and we’re going even deeper on this.

You’ll find the link to register on my socials—or just drop me a DM saying “WEBINAR” and I’ll send it your way.

You’re not lazy. You’re not dramatic. And you’re definitely not a sh*t mum.

You’re just drowning in the invisible workload no one warned you about—and now the summer holidays are creeping closer.

In this episode, we unpack what’s really behind that daily spiral of overthinking, irritability, guilt, and exhaustion—especially when it feels like you’re the only one holding everything together.

You’ll hear:

– Why the mental load hits hardest right before the holidays

– What social media is doing to your sense of worth (even when you know better)

– The real reason you haven’t started journaling yet (and how to shift that in 60 seconds)

– A permission slip to stop managing everything and start trusting yourself again

This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a podcast for the woman who’s already trying her best—and needs someone to say, “I get it… now here’s what to do.”

If you’re stuck in your head, constantly second-guessing yourself, or saying things like “I’ll start when it feels right”—this episode is exactly what you need.

Overthinking is the biggest dream-killer.

And procrastination? That’s just fear pretending to be logic.

You don’t need more planning. You need to do the damn thing already.

Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through:

• How to stop overthinking and finally take action

• Why saying “I’ll come back to it later” is keeping you stuck

• The sneaky ways spiritual language can become a form of self-sabotage

• Why free masterclasses, self-help books, and endless podcasts aren’t enough

• What really separates the 3% who follow through from everyone else

If you’re an entrepreneur, creative, coach, or growth-minded woman who keeps stalling—this is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

This isn’t just wellness talk—it’s your moment of truth.

Press play. Take action. And message me when you do.

What’s the one thing you’re done putting off?

If you’ve ever walked away from a family visit thinking, Why do I always feel like the problem?, this episode is for you.

We’re talking about the emotional burnout that comes from years of people-pleasing, guilt-tripping, and toxic family dynamics—especially when cutting someone off isn’t an option.

You’ll learn:

– How to set real-life boundaries with difficult family members (even parents or siblings)

– What emotional boundaries actually look like in messy, everyday situations

– Why feeling uncomfortable is a good sign you’re doing it right

– How to stop giving all your energy away and protect your mental health

This isn’t about being cold. It’s about being clear.

It’s about rewriting the story for yourself—and future generations.

If you’re a woman who’s done walking on eggshells, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you stop feeling guilty for putting yourself first and start living with intention.

Every time you try to speak up, you’re made out to be the bad one. The troublemaker. The ungrateful daughter.

But here’s the truth: you’re not the problem for wanting better.

In this episode, we’re rewriting the story around family loyalty, boundaries, and guilt. I’ll show you what a boundary actually means (it’s not cutting people off), how to protect yourself emotionally when the other person won’t listen, and why their anger or denial is a sign you’re doing the brave, right thing. We’ll talk about emotional gaslighting, family manipulation, and the real reason why speaking your truth feels so heavy — but is so necessary.

Bring your messy, tired, fed-up self to this episode.

Let’s talk about how you protect it, starting today.

Let’s create the next conversation together

Hated business in school? Same. I failed business studies—and now I run a soul-led coaching business that makes more than I ever did as a full-time teacher.

– “I could never charge for what I love”

Then this is your episode.

I’m breaking down:

– How I went from burned-out teacher to paid life coach

– The real reason women stay stuck in ‘learning mode’

– Pricing your offers without feeling like a fraud
