This week on unSUCKcessful, we’re diving into a juicy one—commitment issues.

From tattoos to relationships, business decisions to burnout, we explore why commitment can feel so dang terrifying. Jenny and Brandi share personal stories, reflect on family dynamics, and unpack the emotional baggage behind the fear of permanence.

We’re talking small “t” and big “T” trauma, control issues, the dreaded “ick,” and how commitment (or the lack of it) shows up in business, love, and life.

If you’ve ever overcommitted and resented it later, or if even picking a paint color feels overwhelming—this episode’s for you.

In this episode of UnSUCKcessful, Jen and Brandi dive into the world of personality tests and ask the tough question: Are you still defining yourself by a test you took 10 years ago?

From Enneagram numbers and Myers-Briggs types to love languages, astrology, and DISC assessments—this episode explores the tools we’ve used to define who we are and how we relate to others. But have these helpful tools turned into limiting labels? And what if you’ve actually evolved?

We talk self-awareness, identity shifts, emotional growth, relationships, and why it’s totally okay if your old results don’t fit anymore. Because personal growth means not staying stuck in a personality box.

✨ Highlights include: • When personality tests help—and when they don’t • How identity shifts with motherhood, business, burnout & healing • Why your old “type” might be holding you back • Fun, honest, real-life convos—with the usual laughs and truth bombs

Ever feel like asking for help means you’re failing? 😬 You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not weak. In fact, studies show most people want to help—you just have to ask.

This week we’re going deep into limiting beliefs—what they are, how to identify them, and a step-by-step way to start shifting the stories holding you back. From self-doubt to subconscious sabotage, this episode will help you call it out and move forward.

Ever feel like the more you try, the more you suck? In this episode, we’re unpacking the concept of Beginner’s Mind—what it means, how to embrace it, and why showing up as a beginner can actually be your biggest asset.

Women aren’t built for hustle culture—but we’ve been conditioned to push through exhaustion anyway.

Have you ever felt like the harder you try, the worse you get?

Brandi’s spent years chasing success—but was it really what she wanted? From banking to beauty to having what she calls her "spare baby," this episode is all about breaking free from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and massive identity shifts.

Losing my dad wasn’t the hardest part—it was the two years after. Anxiety, panic, and an identity crisis had me ready to walk away from my business and everything I’d built. In this episode, I open up about what grief really looks like, how I almost lost myself, and how I found my way back.

Ever sworn you’d never do something… and then did it anyway? That’s exactly how this podcast started.

In this first episode of UnSUCKcessful, we share how this crazy idea came to life, why traditional success is total BS, and how failure, burnout, and even crying in the car can lead to something better.
