In the finale of her three-part series, Jenna Marilyn dives into the last three Niyamas—Tapas (discipline/devotion), Svadhyaya (self-study), and Ishvarapranidhana (surrender). She reframes discipline as devotion, explores how honest self-inquiry can rewrite the stories we live by, and shows how trust and surrender turn the most ordinary moments—yes, even doing the dishes—into a living practice.

Through personal reflections, sutra teachings, and practical prompts, Jenna makes these principles deeply usable: building self-esteem through follow-through, meeting shame with compassion, and finding the divine in the mundane. It’s not about perfection; it’s about a steady compass, daily choice, and remembering to let it be fun along the way.

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn continues her journey through yoga’s eightfold path, closing out the Yamas with Aparigraha (non-possessiveness) and opening the door to the Niyamas — the observances that turn our attention inward.

From exploring attachment, trust, and the stories we tell ourselves, to reflecting on Saucha (purity) and Santosha (contentment), Jenna unpacks how these teachings are less about rigid rules and more about awareness, choice, and freedom. Through her own stories and the wisdom of the Sutras, she reveals how the practices of non-attachment, cleansing, and contentment can shift us out of survival mode and into presence, creativity, and joy.

This episode is both grounding and expansive — a reminder that the point isn’t perfection, but living with intentionality, curiosity, and a sense of play.

Stay tuned for Part 3, where Jenna dives into the final three Niyamas: Tapas (discipline), Svadhyaya (self-study), and Ishvarapranidhana (surrender to a higher power).

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn opens her notes and takes you inside her reflections on the Yamas — the first limb of yoga’s eightfold path. Far beyond poses or postures, these principles have become her compass, her North Star, the anchor she returns to when faced with choice, change, or uncertainty.

Through stories, sutras, and lived experience, Jenna explores Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), and Brahmacharya (wise use of energy). She unpacks how these teachings show up not just on a yoga mat, but in the everyday moments where compassion, honesty, and discernment are most tested.

This episode is not about rigid rules or perfection. It’s about awareness, intention, and the freedom that comes from having a compass to guide you. A reminder that reflecting deeply is powerful — but you’re also allowed to live, laugh, and enjoy the ride along the way.

✨ Stay tuned for Part 2, where Jenna explores the fifth Yama, Aparigraha (nonpossessiveness), and dives into the five Niyamas.

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn invites you into her idea journal — the place where her curiosities, quotes, and sparks of wisdom live. Through laughter, tangents, and peppermint tea (with a sore throat in tow), she explores what it means to interrupt your inner critic and call forward your inner ally instead.

From reflections on solitude and shifting your identity, to tending your “soil” before planting seeds, Jenna reminds us that growth is less about perfection and more about environment, intention, and the stories we tell ourselves. You’ll hear why doing the things you love shouldn’t be reserved for “every once in a while,” and why neutrality — not judgment — is the key to change.

This episode is equal parts journal entry, pep talk, and reminder that while self-growth and reflection are important, they aren’t the whole story. Don’t forget to laugh, play, and let yourself enjoy the ride.

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn steps into her dating era—on purpose.

No scripts. No shrinking. Just curiosity, discernment, and a running check-in with her nervous system.

She talks about dating multiple people for the first time and what it’s teaching her: that the “first-time” feelings we crown as fate are often just data. Calm after a date can feel like savasana—and it doesn’t make someone your soulmate. Chivalry (hello, car doors) is lovely, but it’s the baseline, not the banner.

Jenna shares why she asks big questions early (kids, money, marriage, values), why a non-negotiables list is clarity—not rigidity—and how to flip the focus from “Do they like me?” to “Do I like them?” She explores living your 20s with intention, taking aligned action, and letting people feel the weight of you—then decide.

There’s a real-life interruption (dog drama, ER and all), messy consistency, and a through-line of truth: don’t slip into a life; build one. Ask better questions. Make choices today your future will thank you for.

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn opens up about her evolving views on love and marriage — and why her opinion isn’t the point. What matters most is sharing a reality with your partner, finding someone whose vision of life aligns with yours.

She shares her new mantra and the pattern she’s noticed: every time she doesn’t get what she wants, she gets something better. With honesty and clarity, Jenna explores what it means to take aligned action through her superpower of discernment.

You’ll also hear why making a non-negotiable list isn’t about being rigid — it’s about having a tool that sharpens your discernment and keeps you close to what truly matters.

A reflection on love, clarity, and the quiet strength of knowing what you stand for. Jenna also shares some tips and tricks on how to tune in to your own intuition.

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn lets her thoughts spill raw and unfiltered — an exploration of honesty, connection, and what it means to just be.

She questions the endless strategies and advice around communication and relationships, reminding us that before we’re daters, friends, or partners, we are souls — two human beings meeting in the wild strangeness of life.

From her revillizations on adulthood (and the myth that anyone really knows what they’re doing) to her new devotion to truth as a guiding value, Jenna shares why honesty and discernment matter more than strategy. She invites you to consider: are you making choices from fear, or from love?

With humor, awe, and a little bit of chaos, this episode is a reminder to leave yourself be, to leave others be, and to bring awareness to the miracle of simply being alive.

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn is walking and talking. She explores what it means to entangle yourself with words — and how every word you speak carries the potency of manifestation.

She reflects on meeting the challenging things in life as opportunities, the power that lives inside saying thank you, and the timeless truth: what you seek, you will find.

A moving reflection. A reminder that your words, your lens, and your seeking all shape the path beneath your feet.
