ities pile on and suddenly you forget what you wanted; the cure is deliberate curiosity and courage. Who do you want to be? What matters? Living richly isn’t a bank balance metric — it’s health, wealth (aka time & options), love, abundance, and joy — and balancing those is how you live beyond your head trash. We also chew on the parenting mirror: children absorb what they see — the grumbling about work, the exhausted hustling, and the social-media scoreboard of "success." That gets internalized as head trash in them. So the parenting ask is simple but radical: model curiosity, let them tinker, give them emotional language, and resist turning their childhoods into 60-hour workweeks disguised as enrichment. We riff, laugh, and promise no guilt trips — only messy progress.
A gift from our guest: A quiz that will help you discover your Head Trash type. Knowing your type can help you understand the strengths and challenges that come with it, recognize how your Head Trash tends to show up and see where it may be getting in your way.

Jennifer Ternay helps successful professionals, executives, entrepreneurs and business owners who know something needs to change but can't seem to move. They overthink, second-guess, and convince themselves to stay where they are, often because money, responsibility or the fear of getting it wrong keeps them stuck. Jennifer helps them untangle the rational-sounding thoughts that disguise themselves as logic, responsibility or "it's not the right time." She calls it Head Trash.
A former CEO and CFO, executive advisor and entrepreneur, Jennifer has spent decades helping organizations navigate complex decisions, improve financial performance, and lead through change. Today, she combines that executive experience with coaching to help people cut through the noise, make better decisions and live more intentionally.
