Never one to rest on her laurels, Jen continues to push new limits. In this, her epic encore appearance on the Posse, Jen lays it all out on the table, including her tumultuous 2023; her new podcast, The Face of the Deep; her fraught relationship history, complicated by that pesky "ethical veganism" of hers; and her ever-evolving relationship with evolutionary psychology.
