129. Behind the Highlight Reel: Jenny Burnham’s Journey to Self-Worth and Sobriety

INHABIT with Alessia Citro

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses topics including serious depression and suicidal ideation. Please listen at your discretion.

-

Today, we’ve got a fantastic guest – Jenny Burnham, the founder of Social Squeeze and one of Alessia’s dear friends and coaching clients.

Jenny drops some serious knowledge on social media strategies and how self-worth is the key ingredient before diving into the digital world.

Jenny also takes us through her rollercoaster journey, from a tough divorce in 2019 to overcoming depression, and how she rebuilt her life, one small habit at a time. We chat about everything from somatic practices like box breathing and twerking (yes, twerking!), to quitting drinking and the major positive shifts it brought to her life.

This episode is packed with heart-to-heart moments, life lessons, and plenty of laughs. We even touch on an exciting event called Social Wellness Exchange happening in Minneapolis – think yoga, sound baths, and great company.

So grab your headphones and join us for this real, raw, and super insightful conversation. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it!
