  1. Reclaiming Your Spark When Life Feels Numb

    Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions? You’re not crying on the bathroom floor, but you’re not really laughing either. That, my friend, is apathy—and it’s sneakier than you think. In this episode, we’re talking about why apathy isn’t a failure—it’s a flag. You’ll learn how to...

  2. You Are More Than the Roles You Play

    You juggle it all-work, family, the never-ending to-do list—and you do it well. But somewhere along the way, did you lose sight of you? In this episode of Brutiful Journey: The Podcast, we're peeling back the layers of responsibility to rediscover the woman underneath. If you’ve been feeling...

  3. Who is Playing You? Reclaiming Yourself From the Roles You Have Been Cast In.

    Imagine this. You wake up to an alarm and the to-do list starts before your feet even hit the floor. Get the kids ready. Be a good partner. Show up for work. Care for your parents. Volunteer, smile, keep it together. Sound familiar? Somewhere along the way, you became the one who keeps the…

  4. Permission to Discover YOU!

    What if the version of you the world sees isn’t the whole story? In this episode, Jessica Brubaker gives you permission to get curious about who you really are—beyond the roles, the routines, and the expectations. This isn’t about reinventing yourself for others. It’s about rediscovering the...

  5. 'Fine' is the Enemy if Fulfillment

    How many times have you said, “I’m fine,” when you’re anything but? In this episode, Jessica Brubaker unpacks the quiet weight behind the word “fine” and why it’s often a sign that you’re stuck in emotional autopilot. We’ll explore how “fine” keeps us from fulfillment, why it’s become our default...

  6. Enough AND Evolving

    You’ve been told to believe you’re enough—and maybe, just maybe, you’re starting to. But what happens when you also feel the pull to grow, stretch, or dream a little bigger? In this episode of Brutiful Journey, host Jessica Brubaker unpacks the powerful truth that you can be both: grounded in…

  8. Do you even lift? Featuring Dre Penn

    Dre Penn was one of the most fun interviews I have done. I get to see him twice a week, but it is in a different capacity because he is telling me to life heavy stuff and hold planks for what feels like forever. Today, though, I got to talk to him about his story and how he has used the...

  9. Words of Wisdom with Lauren Day

    Lauren is one of my mentors in the world of therapy and I have so much respect for what she has done in the field.

  10. Geeking Out with Megan Good

    Megan Good is the artistic genius behind the newly launched Brutiful Journey website. I was so grateful to her for taking the time to sit down with me to talk about entrepreneurship, self-care, and being a woman in this crazy, mixed-up world. It was such a blast to talk to her today AND to work...

  11. Boundaries with Bru!

    Boundaries are an elusive topic. We don't always know what the word means, we don't always know if what we are feeling is right, we don't always know if we should set a boundary or let one be violated. This episode features some overarching thoughts about the topic-a little bit of a definition…

  13. The Comparison Monster

    I jumped back behind the mic today to talk a little bit about my thoughts on why we compare ourselves to other people. And why we need to stop comparing ourselves to other people!

  14. Meet the Fam-dam-ily!

    The dynamic of my family is really interesting. I am the oldest of 11 grandchildren on my Dad's side and, when I say oldest, I mean oldest. There is almost 20 years between myself and my youngest cousin and I was the only granddaughter for 12 years before another gal graced the Brubaker family. I...

  15. Defining your vision and using the in-between to get there.

    I sat down with myself and the microphone to share a little bit more about my story and the things that have been coming up in my reflections in the last few weeks. Like most of us, I have been spending a lot more time in my mind lately-as life altering experiences usually cause us to do. But the...

  18. Body Scan Meditation

    In these uncertain times, I find I am having a lot of conversations about feeling out of control. We are only in control of ourselves, our bodies, our thoughts, our emotions and our behaviors. This little bonus episode is the body scan meditation that I did with my staff today. This is an…

    Today I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with Scott Ellis. A physical therapist by trade and an endurance athlete by nature. This guy has run more Ironman races than I can count and I am over here like “I will run that 5k if there is brunch at the end.” So much fun talking to Scott about...
