What if the year ahead is inviting you into something that feels exactly you? We sit down with author and coach Jenny Rogers to trace how a stack of journals, a stubborn curiosity, and a humble ladybug grew into Mama Bear Meditations: Curious—a contemplative book designed to help you slow down, listen well, and live braver.

Jenny takes us inside her creative process, from the early “undoing” of inherited beliefs to a rhythm that guides each meditation: an opening prompt of wonder, moments to pause, a blessing that signals safety, the “Mama Bear” voice that represents your inner nurturer, a scripture that anchors truth, and a heart-to-heart that gives language to pray and act. Along the way we talk about ego yielding to soul, how to sort what you can control from what you must release, and why small clues often carry outsized direction.

You’ll also hear the nuts and bolts of modern self-publishing: how Jenny used a coach to turn fear into clarity, why podcasts and category research matter, and how lead magnets like a free audiobook and a one-day planner can build a real community of readers. The ladybug on the cover isn’t cute for cute’s sake—it’s a call to notice what you’d usually brush off. When you pay attention to the tiny, you often find the exact next step.

If you’re craving practical tools with spiritual depth, this conversation offers both. Expect ideas you can use today—like a daily planning page that links reflection to action—and a nudge to run toward the work and relationships that match who you truly are. If the message resonated, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs courage to start, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.
