200. The Last Ten Pounds, The First Thousand Dollars, and The Next Six Months

Little Sunshine“ is a song about Ava 
my little sister, my light, my reason.
Growing up in Detroit wasn’t easy.
Our house was loud, cold, and full of broken pieces long before I understood what breaking meant.
But Ava… she made everything softer.

When our parents split,
I became the man of the house way too early.
I worked right after high school, held us together,
paid the bills, fixed the leaks, kept mama strong 
all so Ava could stay a child a little longer.

She never knew the weight I carried.
But every time she laughed…
it felt like sunshine breaking through winter.

This song is my promise to her:
“Your big brother will always protect you and stand by your side always.”

If you’ve ever loved someone so deeply
that you gave up your own childhood to protect theirs…
this song is for you.

It’s not just a track.
It’s a story of family, sacrifice, and the kind of love that doesn’t fade 
even in the hardest places on earth.

Ava is my little sunshine.
And she always will be.

Hey friends, it’s Jenn — welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn! 💛

Today’s episode is extra special because I’m sharing the replay from our second Divorce Hotline Live Q&A. If you’re new here, the Divorce Hotline is where I answer real, heartfelt questions from men and women walking through all the stages of divorce — from heartbreak and healing to co-parenting, rebuilding confidence, and learning how to trust and love again.

These conversations are raw, faith-filled, and full of practical guidance. My goal, as always, is to help you partner with God through your healing and find peace and purpose right where you are.

And of course, I’m here to give you some Jenn Juice — that dose of hope, encouragement, and direction to keep you going when the road feels heavy.

So grab a notebook, take a deep breath, and let’s jump into some of the powerful questions we talked through live during Divorce Hotline #2.”

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

Have you ever wondered why specific patterns keep repeating… or why some relationships feel stuck no matter how hard you try? In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story about the blind spots we all have — the things we can’t see about ourselves, our parenting, and our relationships until someone lovingly shows us. Over Thanksgiving, I had all my adult children home, and a conversation unfolded that revealed blind spots I didn’t know existed. It was humbling, emotional, and honestly… life-changing. And today, I’m sharing what I learned — because these insights can help you heal, too.
You’ll learn:
✨ What emotional blind spots are and why they’re so hard to see
✨ How your past divorce may have affected your children in ways you didn’t realize
✨ Why honesty and vulnerability can create a deeper connection
✨ How to invite healing conversations with your adult children
✨ The spiritual side of blind spots — and how God helps us see with new eyes
If you’re navigating LDS divorce, co-parenting, blended family life, or trying to rebuild trust and connection with your children, this episode will speak directly to your heart.
