Welcome back to The Happy Wife Mentor Podcast!
 
In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Jenny shares an important announcement — a temporary pause for the podcast — and opens her heart to reflect on the journey of the last six months. From gratitude for the global community that has grown since the podcast launched, to the honest realities of capacity, family needs, health, and self-care, this episode is both a closing and an invitation.
Jenny walks listeners through the importance of practicing what we preach as women, especially when it comes to rest, creativity, and honoring the season we’re in. She shares why creativity has always been a cornerstone of her own self-care, how it supports joy and emotional health in marriage, and why sometimes the most loving thing we can do for ourselves and our families is to pause and realign.
This is not a goodbye — it’s a “see you soon,” with a hopeful vision for a future season focused on creativity, feminine expression, and joy-filled living.
 
What you’ll learn:
Why self-care isn’t optional — it’s foundational to marriage and family health
How to honestly assess your capacity and recognize when it’s time to pause
Why creativity is a feminine gift that brings healing, joy, and renewal
How laying something down for a season can be an act of wisdom, not failure
Encouragement to reevaluate what truly matters in this current season of life
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, disconnected from joy, or longing for more creativity and rest, this episode offers permission to pause, realign, and choose what nourishes your heart without guilt.

But she also walks you through the exact shifts she made to soften resentment, communicate clearly, and actually feel more connected to her husband… even when he’s in the deer stand.

Ep. 21: Feeling Disconnected? Shift Your Focus to Reconnect

Welcome back to The Happy Wife Mentor Podcast!
 
In this episode, Jenny dives deep into the real reason many wives feel disconnected in their marriage—not because everything is falling apart, but because the brain naturally fixates on what’s wrong.

You’ll learn why your attention works like a spotlight, how negativity bias forms neural pathways, and how daily intentional focus can reshape the emotional atmosphere in your home.
This episode is your practical roadmap to shifting from tension to tenderness, from criticism to connection, and from feeling like “everything is wrong” to realizing much more is going right than you think.
No perfection required. No pretending. Just honest awareness and small, steady mental shifts that open the door to softness, emotional safety, and genuine closeness with your husband.
 
What you’ll learn:
The real reason your brain notices every little thing your husband doesn’t do
How negativity bias narrows your view and drains connection
Why focusing on problems makes them feel bigger than they actually are

Ep. 20: The Unexpected Way Creativity Heals Disconnection in Marriage

Welcome back to The Happy Wife Mentor Podcast!
 
In this episode, Jenny explores the powerful connection between creativity and emotional closeness in marriage. She shares her own journey of rediscovering creativity after years of operating almost entirely in her masculine — focused, driven, productive, and constantly in “get it done” mode.
Jenny explains how many wives unintentionally disconnect from their feminine essence by abandoning their creative side, and how this shift can quietly impact polarity, joy, and intimacy at home. When we step back into creativity — whether painting, gardening, baking, dancing, or simply playing again — we return to our natural softness, presence, and feminine radiance… and our husbands feel the difference.
 
What you’ll learn:
How growing up and work environments can condition women into masculine mode
Why creativity is a core expression of femininity
The difference between masculine “production” and feminine “play”
How creative flow brings you back to the present — and back to yourself
Why joy and softness naturally draw your husband closer
Simple ways to reintroduce creativity into everyday life
If your marriage has been feeling a little routine or muted lately, this episode will show you how creativity can reawaken joy, spark curiosity, and bring back that warm, connected energy between you and your husband.
