Your Heart is Calling

Today’s episode is a personal reflection inspired by my dogs’ 7th birthday.What started as a tribute turned into something deeper — a story about unconditional love, freedom, and the subtle ways our external world mirrors our internal patterns.In this episode, I share how I uncovered a hidden belief around being needed, how that pattern showed up in both life and business, and how shifting it changed everything.At its core, this conversation is about untangling your worth from what you do — and discovering that real freedom comes from learning to hold yourself with compassion, no matter what.If you’ve ever tied your identity to performance, responsibility, or proving your value, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Dajana Novak, for a grounded conversation about safety, nervous system regulation, and self-trust.We explore how feeling safe in your body impacts the way you make decisions, navigate change, travel, and move through uncertainty. We talk about why pushing through fear often backfires, how regulation expands your capacity to handle life, and what it really means to come back to yourself — again and again.This conversation is especially for you if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the unknown or curious about building a deeper sense of inner stability that doesn’t rely on external circumstances.--Follow Jenny on Instagram at: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jennyostoj⁠⁠ Follow Dajana on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/dayana.fairytaleminds/
