Relating:
A Weekly Newsletter & Brand New Podcast by Jen
Welcome to Relating - Weekly thoughts from me to you with insight, tools, and encouragement for building connected, lasting relationships.
Every time I sit down to write a newsletter or record a podcast, I imagine I’m talking to a friend over coffee, sharing something I’ve been thinking about, learning, or wrestling with in my own life. These thoughts are my honest reflections and meant to support and encourage you, wherever you are in your relationships.
If you miss a newsletter or a podcast, or just want to revisit something that stuck with you, you’ll find all the past newsletters here, along with a link to my podcast. My hope is that you leave feeling a little more seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not alone.

Relating is my weekly podcast all about the relationships that matter most. Every Thursday, I share honest, down-to-earth conversations about the real-life challenges and joys of being in relationship… with your partner, your kids, your friends, your coworkers, and even yourself. You’ll hear practical tools, personal stories, and occasional guest interviews - all with a mix of depth, humor, and heart. Whether you're navigating conflict, craving more connection, or just trying to show up better, this podcast is here to remind you: you're not alone, and we’re figuring it out together.
