This is a Fan Fav episode. What up, homies? Lisa here, and today I am crazy excited to bring you a conversation with my total badass friend, Jenna Kutcher—CEO, mom, and host of the Gold Diggers podcast. We dive deep and get real about why so many women (including us!) end up stuck, unhappy, or living a life of “shoulds” instead of our truest desires. Jenna dishes the truth about people-pleasing, numbing out our feelings, ignoring the whispers inside us, and how we can get radically honest to become the hero of our own stories. Think of this episode as the pep talk—and the permission slip—you’ve been waiting for.
