🤍Mental Health Awareness Day🤍
Whether it’s talking to a friend, going on a walk, working out, reading a book, working with a professional, checking in with a mentor, getting a massage…just a reminder to keep doing the things that help keep YOU take care of YOURself. ❤️
Hellloooooo 👋🏼👋🏼 I’m alive!!!! 😂😂
After lots of processing of Season 1…I’m feeling ready to explore Season 2 and what that may bring!! Super excited for exploring new topics and also having a little fun! ☺️
As always, I just want to say how grateful I am to everyone who has supported this journey. The moments that hit me the most, are when community comes together, and to hear from so many of you….it has just been So. Dang. Cool! 🤍
Thank you .sheaffer for having me as a guest on The Bravest Kind! Honored to get to share our story and expand on it all. We explore intuition, vulnerability, and what it means to be brave. 😄 Take a listen and help support his podcast! ❤️

Today’s episode of The Bravest Kind is a powerful one! My guest is Tenny Jacobson who hosts Tenny, along with her husband survived an attack when an intruder broke into their home on Mother’s Day 2013. Tenny talks about her journey of healing from such a traumatic event and the importance of trusting one’s own intuition. Thank you, Tenny, for your willingness to be open, honest and vulnerable throughout our discussion. As always, the episode can be found on or or simply by clicking on the link in my bio.
If you’ve listened to the podcast...you probably know Mother’s Day has been a trickier day of the year for me and my family. 🙃 It’s been many years of uncomfortably anticipating this day and then being anxious as the day unfolds. This year, it honestly, has changed so much. ❤️
This podcast has helped me grow in SO many ways and one of the main things it has done for me is to really help me figure out who the real Tenny is. Not the Tennyson for my family, the Tenny for my friends, the mom for my kids, the Tennyson with my business...just what feels authentic for me. 😎
I’ve realized I give power to this day (and date) because of our experience and I am tired of doing that! The more power I give to the day/date the more power I give to the person who doesn’t deserve it. 🤷🏼♀️ And being that this is all about commonality...I know this date/day isn’t just a trigger for me...it is for so many others. With that, I am sending so much love and hope to all those out there who may feel similar. ❤️
✨This moment✨
First of all, if you are not riding with on your bike, you are MASSIVELY missing out. My favorite instructor and am just constantly inspired by her. This photo is from the ride she did for Women’s History Month where she just revealed how she shaved off all her hair. She explains it was something she had wanted to do for so long, but let her worries about other people’s opinions, hold her back from making that decision.
As she is telling her story, she gets to this moment where she says softly and emotionally, “Best thing I ever did” and closes her eyes and just smiles. It was one of those moments that you can see the depth of what that means to her. I (and I’m sure tens of thousands of others) felt honored to just observe that moment, her vulnerability, and courage.
Besides it having such an impact on my own self to try and stop always worrying about what other people think about me...it also led to a really cool conversation with my daughter about why Tunde made this decision and how I can encourage my kids from a young age to be who they want to be and not who they think others want them to be.
This is exactly what Common Ground is about and the conversations I want to explore and highlight....
So follow Tunde and then make sure to take her WHM ride from March and then let me know what you think! 💛
👋🏼👋🏼We’ll it’s been a HOT minute since I have posted here....
Truth is, some things had popped up that triggered me. I second guessed myself for doing the podcast and judged myself so much for putting myself out there when I KNEW I could get triggered. I went through emotions of just stopping this journey because I didn’t know if I could handle all the things that would be a challenge for me.
I’ve spent a lot of time talking to friends, my therapists, new resources, Kyle, meditating and praying, listening to podcasts and audio books (thank you duh😆), to really listen to my heart if all of the things that will be a challenge for me, are worth it.
With all of this, it brought me back to why I started this whole podcast. ❤️ I sincerely believe in wanting to closer connect us all and be an authentic voice of the challenges in life and just sharing that in a hopes to create more community. That includes sharing this post and the struggles I continue to have! 😎
So!! I’m going to keep working towards the next steps and see where it takes me! My little bit of encouragement is that if there is something on YOUR heart but you are second guessing yourself....pause and really reflect to see if you want to pursue. If you feel the energy towards it, then challenge yourself to explore. If you don’t feel energy towards it, then move on!
I’m certainly no motivational speaker and don’t ever want to pretend to be, but Common Ground is all about sharing this stuff, so that is what I will continue to do. ❤️
Had a great time yesterday with host of the show “This Show is All About You” where we discussed his theme of the month “Resilience”. ✨
If you missed the show, you can check out his podcast on Apple [This Show is All About You] and then we did a Facebook Live after where dove in more after. ☺️ Search JD Wyneken on FB. 💪🏼
Tune in tomorrow on 1150KKNW at 3:00 where I’ll be on ‘s radio show “This Show is About You”, where we will discuss the podcast and then explore our own journey’s with trauma. While we both have different experiences and trauma, trauma is trauma, and it’s about how you rebuild from it. This is what this journey in creating the podcast is all about and can’t wait to see where the conversation goes!
After, you can join us on FB at 4:00 where we’ll do a FB Live and continue the conversation. 😄
See you tomorrow!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 In following up from my post about the vulnerability hangover, thought I would share this quote! 💯💯
If you haven’t yet read/listened/followed along with anything ...it’s time!! 😄
What a journey! I haven’t been the best at posting because...to be completely honest, I think I might be in what calls a “Vulnerability Hangover”. 😌 I only learned about this term just last week, but as soon as I read it, it really struck me.
This process hasn’t been hard to share our story, as it’s something that has been a part of our lives for nearly 8 years. But, it has been hard in other ways as far as putting myself out there worrying about if I did it perfectly, if people will receive it well, if people might judge me...the list goes on. 🙃
I only share this because I wonder if others, too, may feel similar. Even though these moments can be challenging, I also always think how they can be pretty exciting as well....we grow in the uncomfortable. 🌱
So whether it is a podcast you want to start doing, a person you know you need to talk to, a job you need to leave, a friend you need to reconnect with....whatever it is, it’ll be worth it!! ❤️
✨New Episode is Live!✨
In this episode, we were thankful to speak with Deana Lansing, who recently left her career as a police detective and was kind enough to shared with us another perspective in this story....what it is like to be a first responder in times of crisis.
I hope you enjoy!
“Only when we’re brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”-
Basically sums up our relationship 🤷🏼♀️😆.
In case you missed the Live event, here are a few of the questions we discussed and enjoyed getting to share with everyone. ❤️
▫️What was it like starting a podcast?

“Real fear is energizing, not paralyzing.” -Knowledge 💣 from the book “The Gift of Fear”.
This book seriously is such a wealth of important information that can truly be life changing. Can’t recommend enough!! I’m listening on if you’re like me and have a hard time getting to a physical book itself. ☺️
Just your friendly reminder!!! Two days away...CAN’T WAIT!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
⚡️We’re curious! ⚡️
Since we’re prepping for the FB Live this coming Thursday at 5pm PST, let us know if you have questions, thoughts, or comments while you’re listening through! ☺️ Of course, we hope you keep these respectful, but would love to have some questions before hand to just hear what people might want a little more information.
Comment below and look forward to seeing you Thursday at 5pm on FB! 🙌🏼
5 Days from our first Facebook Live!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Make sure to mark your calendars and share with others where I’ll share ups and downs of this new journey starting Common Ground, share behind-the-scene discussions, and answer questions. This podcast is all about connection so we can’t wait to have you join! ✨
“We need the middle,” Springsteen says in the ad. “We just have to remember the very soil we stand on is common ground.”—Bruce Springsteen on Jeep’s Super Bowl commercial.
So, I was watching the Super Bowl and then this Jeep ad came on featuring Bruce Springsteen. I, honestly, wasn’t quite sure what the Ad was for...but it immediately drew my attention and was loving every second super interested where it was headed. Then, it hit the above statement. And I went...🙊
Bruce gets it. 🙃 Common Ground folks. We all have common ground and that is what this is all about!
✨Just a reminder!! ✨
When we were working through Season One, my producer reached out to to connect about potentially being on the show. Although it wasn’t something he could do at this time, he did send 25 copies of the book that was recommended to me by the detective when we were sitting in her police car...about to be read our rights.
To me, this book is a MUST READ for women (and men) and parents with daughters to really understand fear, intuition, and taking cues to protect yourself.
I want to give these all away!!! ☺️

I know it can take an extra moment and most people can probably get the book themselves, but what cooled from the author himself {through me😂} and then helping to share our mission.
Many of you have asked plans for what is to come....as most podcasts release an episode regularly... Well, producers decided it would be best to release all at once because it was more of a “binge” and vs. waiting each week for the episode to come. Based on feedback, this is totally true!! 😄
We’ll chat more about it on the FB Live on Feb 25th at 5pm., but a huge part in continuing is if this content adds value, as that is my Number. 1. Goal. 💯
Keep that feedback coming, as it helps more than you know! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
✨10 Days away from our Live Facebook event where we’ll be live to answer questions and just chat about this journey of creating Common Ground!
Hopefully, you’ll join us and feel free to bring some questions (or DM us too!)😁
“Learn the difference between your intuition guiding you and your trauma misleading you.” -
Bam!! Woooooo-buddy. I was looking for quotes this morning and saw this one and it resonated with me like crazy! Man is it HARD to filter how traumas in your life can impact your worry thoughts. I would say that this is still a work in progress for me Every. Single. Day. 🙃
From our experience and learning how my intuition was accurate, it led me to get really confused if I had a feeling about something and if it was my intuition or just anxiety because of my trauma. Thankful for my amazing therapist to help me keep working through this every day and still slowly making steps to define the two better. It’s a process, but I totally believe it can be done. ❤️
Common Ground is all about sharing experiences, opening discussions, and just wanting to heal and feel better in whatever journey you might be walking through.
These are three podcasts that I learn SO much from and can’t recommend enough!! It’s like I want to be able to have to drive somewhere so I can have the time to listen!! 😄
Make sure to check out Unlocking Us, , and ...all incredible women with a huge heart to just help others!! 💛
🥳🥳1700 downloads!! Blown away by the response and just so grateful!! 🙏🏼
Check it out! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
On 2/25 we’re going to do a Facebook live where we answer questions and just have an opportunity to connect with those who have been following along! It’s been so cool to hear the impact and also hear what questions people still have regarding the event, healing, and even starting a podcast.
I’ve never done anything like this before 🤷🏼♀️ but since the heart is to connect and build community, it will truly be a cool moment to do just that and try, yet another, new thing. 🙃 I hope you join us and just have a relaxed way to ask questions and find common ground! 🌱
