Hey Joy Seekers — welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn! I’m so glad you’re here with me today. Every week, I get to sit down with you and talk about how to find joy, peace, and healing — especially in life’s hardest moments.

Today’s episode is one that has been on my heart for a while, and honestly, I think it’s one of the most important topics we can talk about when we’re going through divorce, heartbreak, or any major life challenge.

We’re going to talk about the difference between learned helplessness and learned hopefulness.

Here’s the big idea: if we can “learn” helplessness — which many of us have without even realizing it — then we can also learn hopefulness. And when we’re facing something as difficult as divorce, that’s not just a good idea… It’s survival.

So stick with me, because by the end of this episode, I want you to walk away with three practical ways you can start retraining your mind for hope instead of helplessness.

194. Divorce Hotline #1 - Finding Hope and Healing When Everything Has Changed

🎧 Listen to hear:
The true meaning of “abased” in scripture
What the refining process looks like after divorce
How God’s grace lifts us when we feel broken

Keywords:
LDS divorce, healing after divorce, Doctrine and Covenants 112, refining process, faith after heartbreak, Christian divorce healing, humility and grace

195. How God Uses Hard Seasons to Refine and Heal Us

“Mother Of Shadows” is a song about the person who once shared my life — and the darkness she left behind.

It’s about my ex-wife, the mother of my son. She moved away from my son and me, but she never really left. Her voice still echoes in courtrooms, phone calls, and the quiet moments between my son’s laughter. She still haunts me — not with love, but with conflict and control.

Yet somewhere beneath all of that, I still carry a strange kind of care for her — not for who she is now, but for who she once was, and because she will always be the mother of my boy.

Built on layered music box melodies, trance bass, and ghostlike harmonies, this song lives between fear and forgiveness — the sound of letting go of someone who refuses to release you.

“She’s the fear that calms you, the hand you cannot see.”

199. Divorce Hotline Q&A - How to Let Go, Heal, and Trust God After Divorce

Hey there, Joy Seeker — it’s Jenn, and welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn!
Regret is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck after divorce — stuck in fear, stuck in indecision, stuck in shame, and stuck replaying the past instead of believing in the future. In today’s episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, I’m diving deep into how regret destroys your self-trust and how you can finally make peace with your past choices so you can move forward with confidence, courage, and faith.
You’ll hear the story of a client who carried years of regret over decisions he made during his marriage — regret that kept him frozen and afraid to make any new choices. But when he learned how to release the shame, view his past with compassion, and trust himself again, everything changed. His transformation is a powerful reminder that God can work with any decision we make when our hearts are willing to grow.
Inside this episode, we’ll explore:
• Why regret keeps you stuck in fear
• How self-judgment destroys your confidence
• A spiritual lens for understanding your past choices
• What God actually expects of you (hint: it’s NOT perfection)
• A step-by-step framework to release regret and rebuild self-trust
• How to move forward even when consequences are still unfolding
This episode is filled with hope, scripture, truth, and practical tools to help you stop using your past against yourself. If you’re ready to choose your future with clarity and courage, this episode is for you.

201. Releasing Regret: Healing Your Relationship With Yourself

Hi there, I'm Jenn,

I am an experienced, certified professional Latter-day Saint life and divorce coach who mentors men and women in challenging times to find joy through faith-filled coaching. I can help you find the joy in your journey!

DJ Oracle | Multi-Genre Music Producer, Songwriter & Festival DJ

If you hear it, I wrote it

My Focus:
Industry says: “Focus on one genre to build a fanbase.”
I say: “I’ll master them all.”

My writing isn't meant to be confined to one playlist category. Every moment is a mood, every lyric is a poem, and every song tells a story. I refuse to limit myself. Writing music across genres isn’t just a skill—it’s my passion. I have no desire to change who I am to meet industry expectations.

Genre = Mood
Lyrics = Poems
Music = Story

Where Am I Today?
I can write in any genre, any language, and on any topic. I have access to any instrument and can create with any vocal style—male or female. But at my core, I am a writer, not an entertainer.
I feel timid stepping in front of a microphone—exposing myself vocally is still a challenge. There are skills to master and fears to overcome before I record my own voice or perform live. But I am comfortable behind the DJ decks.

Where Am I Going?
As I navigate my place in the music industry, my goal is to split my music into three primary genres and sign with labels that align with each sound:

EDM – #SpinninRecords, #Monstercat, #UltraRecords
South Florida Country Pop – #BigMachineRecords, #CurbRecords
Everything Else – TBD

Next Steps for Me:
✔ Write daily and publish new music weekly
✔ Finish EDM albums: #IWantToDestroyYou and #AlicesSonicJourney
✔ Intern with an established DJ – @PhilHarrisMusic
✔ Start publishing behind-the-scenes content
✔ License a song or album to a record label or collaborate with an artist to expose my music and make money

I know social media is necessary, but it’s far outside my comfort zone. Sharing the creative process, the "sauce" behind the songs, feels vulnerable. But I also know that if I want my music to be heard, I need to open that door—even if it’s uncomfortable.

This is my journey. Let’s see where it leads.
