Welcome back to The Happy Wife Mentor Podcast!

In this episode, Jenny gets real about a topic that so many Southern wives quietly struggle with: resentment during hunting season. If your husband disappears into the woods every weekend while you’re home juggling kids, practices, and endless responsibilities… this one is for you.

Jenny shares her personal story of how deer season used to create major friction in her home — from feeling abandoned to feeling unappreciated — and the emotional spiral that happens when you’re doing everything alone. But she also walks you through the exact shifts she made to soften resentment, communicate clearly, and actually feel more connected to her husband… even when he’s in the deer stand.

You’ll learn how unmet desires fuel resentment, why vulnerability creates safety instead of conflict, and how a daily gratitude practice can transform irritation into connection. No guilt. No martyrdom. Just honest ownership and tools that bring peace back into your home.

This episode is your roadmap for reclaiming your happiness, communicating your limits without drama, and creating a marriage where both of you feel seen, supported, and understood — even during hunting season.

What you’ll learn:

• Why resentment almost always points to an unmet desire
• How to identify your real need (not just the surface frustration)
• The right way to ask your husband for what you want — without triggering defensiveness
• How to communicate limits without complaining or shutting down
• Why jealousy or frustration is often a signal that you need time away too
• Practical ways to get support when responsibilities stack too high
• How daily gratitude rewires resentment into understanding
• The difference between being a “porcupine wife” and being approachable, soft, and seen

If hunting season has turned into tension season, this episode will help you shift the atmosphere from resentment to appreciation — and bring back the warmth, teamwork, and connection you actually want.
