In this episode, Jena sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Lisa Chaffin to share the real story behind her transition from corporate security to true ownership.Lisa spent 17 years as a school teacher, working in both elementary and high school education, believing the promise so many of us were sold — stability, security, and safety. Her husband Michael was working for a well-known fitness corporation, traveling often and seemingly “living the dream,” until everything changed when he was unexpectedly let go.With two young children at home, their priorities shifted overnight.A year earlier, Lisa and Michael had been introduced to a mentor and financial advisor through Primerica Financial Services as clients — learning how money actually works, how to protect their family, and how to build long-term stability. What they didn’t know at the time was that one phone call — Michael calling to move money after losing his job — would turn into an opportunity that changed their lives forever.That moment became the foundation of a financial services business empire that Lisa and Michael now lead together.With unwavering faith, courage, and a willingness to go all in, Lisa has helped build an incredible organization with multiple locations, a thriving team, and a mission centered on serving families and creating freedom for others. She is a true leader, a woman of conviction, and a beautiful soul inside and out.This episode is a powerful reminder that what starts as a scary, unpredictable season can become the very thing that launches your calling.If you’ve ever questioned corporate “security,” felt the pull toward ownership, or wondered if you’re capable of more — this conversation is for you.✨ Like, share, and subscribe to the OWNED Podcast so more women can hear stories like this.And if you want to be a guest on the show — or know a powerful woman whose story deserves to be heard — email us at [email protected]

If you’re a woman in business who is building something meaningful, expect resistance.In this episode, Jena talks openly about the people who try to tear you down, question your integrity, distort your intentions, and quietly wait for you to fail. She breaks down a hard truth most people don’t want to admit: people who are truly building something don’t have time to monitor someone else’s downfall. They understand the cost — the focus, discipline, and emotional control required to create anything worthwhile. They guard their peace. They don’t engage in drama. The people watching, criticizing, and gossiping are often the ones who stopped fighting for their own dreams.Jena also shares why increased action brings increased friction — more visibility leads to more criticism, more relationships bring more conflict, and more responsibility brings more pressure. This isn’t failure. It’s progress. Entrepreneurship is a spiritual journey, and without strong faith and purpose, outside noise can invade your peace, weaken your resolve, and derail your mission. This is why Jena’s faith is unshakable.Today, she’s talking about what it means to stay rooted in God while building something big — how to protect your peace, keep swinging, and stay focused on your calling, even when the noise gets loud.This episode is for the woman who feels worn down by opinions, discouraged by criticism, or shaken by people questioning her character. If you’ve been trusting God quietly, praying more than posting, and showing up anyway — this one’s for you. It’s a reminder to stay rooted, stay focused, and keep swinging, because the work you’re doing requires endurance, not approval.

So many women want to start a business — but get stuck asking the wrong question: “What business should I start?”In this episode of OWNED, we talk about the question that actually matters: Which business model is worth building?Not every business is profitable. Not every business is scalable. And not every business will lead to freedom, financial stability, or the life you want — no matter how hard you work.In this episode, we break down:How to choose the right business model before you commit years of your lifeWhy some businesses keep you stuck, burned out, and cash-strappedThe difference between scalable vs. non-scalable businessesWhy “starting small” can quietly cost you time, money, and momentumHow to think about demand, cash flow, clients, and long-term growthWhat questions to ask before starting a business — and who is actually winning in that spaceJena also talks about something most people don’t consider until it’s too late — building a business that looks good on the outside, but doesn’t actually give you what you want on the inside. More time, more freedom, more income, more peace. Too many entrepreneurs end up trapped by the very thing they created.If you’re overwhelmed by ideas, unsure where to start, or already building something that feels harder than it should, this episode will help you step back, think clearly, and choose a path that aligns with the life you actually want to live.This is for women who want to build a profitable, high-demand, scalable business — not just any business.Entrepreneurship is the vehicle.Ownership is the goal.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, behind, discouraged, or emotionally exhausted — this episode is for you.Social media has a way of making it look like everyone else is winning. Thriving businesses. Perfect routines. Big milestones. And when you’re struggling in business, motherhood, or life, it can feel isolating, heavy, and deeply discouraging.In this episode of the OWNED Podcast, Jena Kranz speaks directly to the woman who is carrying a lot right now — the entrepreneur under pressure, the mom juggling everything, the wife holding a household together, the woman building a business while quietly questioning herself.This is not a hustle episode. This is not a “push harder” conversation.This is a pause. A breath.

And that matters.

Do you ever hesitate to start your business because you think it’s “too risky” or “probably a scam”? You’re not alone — many women feel this way, and it’s holding them back from financial freedom, entrepreneurship, and life-changing opportunities.In this episode of the OWNED Podcast, Jena Kranz dives into the real reasons women hesitate to start businesses and why those fears are costing you money, opportunity, and Do you ever hesitate to take a chance on a business opportunity or new path because you’re afraid it’s a scam? You’re not alone—but what if the real scams aren’t the opportunities, but the systems we’ve been conditioned to trust?In this episode of the OWNED Podcast, Jena Kranz takes a hard look at the mindset that keeps women stuck, broke, and skeptical of success. She exposes the “socially acceptable scams” that so many of us blindly follow: the traditional school system and crushing student debt, the poisoned food supply, credit cards and consumer debt traps, and conventional wisdom that tells you to play it safe, follow the rules, and wait your turn.Jena challenges these beliefs and shares a fresh perspective: fear of opportunity is learned, not natural. She reveals how society confuses us into fearing wealth, entrepreneurship, and success, while promoting habits that hurt our lives, finances, and health. This episode is a wake-up call for women ready to shift their mindset, stop doubting themselves, and start seeing opportunity for what it really is—a path to freedom, independence, and impact.If this episode spoke to you, make sure to like, share, and subscribe—so other women who need to hear this message can find it too.
