Juicy Bits

What happens when you meet the younger version of yourself? You invite her on your podcast, obvs. In this episode of Juicy Bits, Jen sits down with Christine Reed, an author, publisher, van lifer, and thru-hiker who has lived her life passionately and unconventionally. They chatted about everything from her new book, a collection of short stories about the experience of being a female body on trail, to what it means to be the type of independent woman who doesn't even fit into that box society created for us. You're going to love this episode! 

Here's where you can connect with Christine:

• Follow her on Instagram @ruggedoutdoorswoman and get the latest updates on her book tour, inspiration for her writing, and more
• Go on a body-positive adventure at her OnlyFans 
• Pre-order her new book and pick up Alone in Wonderland on her website

Happy New Year, friends! In this episode of Juicy Bits, Jen shares some of her top takeaways from 2023, mulled over in that beautiful stretch of time between the winter solstice and January 1st. No resolutions, no intentions, just reflections on second chances, holding onto hurt, and endings.

On one of the first snowy mornings of the year, Jen and Jillian cozied up to chat about finding comfort when you feel like you're failing and what steps to take to move past it. Per the usual, there are a few tangents and no one knows why they don't get edited out. If you enjoy this episode, consider leaving a review and sharing it with a friend!

In the latest episode of Juicy Bits, Jen and Jillian mull over everything from cutting your own bangs to committed non-intimate relationships to the sorts of exercises one must consider to prepare for ski season. It's a little bit of everything and a whole lot of Jen and Jillian's friendship. 

It's that time of year when all we can think about is the start of ski season. That's why Jen sat down with the founder of Ski Babes in the latest episode of Juicy Bits to learn more about their winter conditioning program, what it means to cultivate women-centered spaces, how to experience fear in healthy ways, and more. 

Juicy Bits is back and we're kicking off Season 7 with a V special episode recorded in Kenya. It was Jillian's first time visiting, and Jen had the pleasure of welcoming her to her second home of nearly two decades. They had a moment recording this episode underneath a mosquito net on the coast of Kenya as they chatted about their unforgettable time together, Jen's work in Kenya with Zawadisha, and what to expect from Season 7.
