The Knowing–Doing Gap: Why Smart Women Stay Stuck (and How to Finally Change)
You know what to do. You’ve read the books, journaled the insights, maybe even coached others through the same thing. But when it comes to your own life, something still isn’t shifting. We’re diving into the psychology of the knowing–doing gap, that frustrating space between insight and action, and unpacking why even the most emotionally intelligent among us get stuck. Rooted in behavioural theory, trauma-informed coaching, and real-life experience, we explore the invisible forces blocking change, even when we’re desperate. You’ll hear about internal conditioning, emotional safety, nervous system responses, and the quiet ways our culture rewards burnout and self-abandonment. This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about creating inner and outer infrastructure that finally supports the life you already know you want. We'll cover: The surprising origins of the knowing–doing gap (and why it’s not your fault) Why self-awareness is necessary – but not enough – for behaviour change The role of emotional resistance, cognitive dissonance, and nervous system protection in keeping you stuck Four powerful barriers that block action and how to gently dissolve them Why change disrupts social dynamics, and how to hold your ground when others push back Somatic and practical tools to help you pause, realign, and take brave, value-aligned action Why midlife (or any life crossroads) is often the beginning of true freedom This episode is for you if: You’re deeply self-aware but still repeating patterns that exhaust or resent you You crave rest, clarity, boundaries—or visibility—but can’t seem to follow through You’ve been told you’re “so strong” for too long, and you’re ready to be real You want to understand not just why you’re stuck, but how to move forward 👥 Desire support? This is the exact work I do with clients in 1:1 coaching. We build safety, structure, and clarity around your inner resistance so you can actually live what you know. → Learn more or book a call _____________________________________________________________________ Visit jenniferwalter.me – your cosy corner where recovering perfectionists, misfits, and those done pretending to be fine find space to breathe, dream, and create real change." 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION Follow on Instagram Follow on TikTok Follow on Threads 🔮 DAILY DOSE OF CHILL The <a href='https://www.jennif

What Makes a Woman (And Who Gets to Decide?)
In this fierce and timely episode of The Scenic Route , we unpack the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that redefines “woman” based solely on biological sex, excluding trans women from legal protections, political representation, and basic recognition. But this isn’t just a courtroom debate. It’s a culture war dressed in legal robes. We follow the funding behind the ruling, expose the billionaire feminists fueling the backlash, and dismantle the persistent myths about biology, gender, and identity. This episode asks hard questions: Who really benefits from the binary? Why do so many defend it so violently? And what does it mean that we wreck Teslas, but not Harry Potter books? “If you want to burn Teslas but not Harry Potter books… ask yourself why.” We draw insights from Judith Butler, bell hooks, Laurie Penny, Simone de Beauvoir, and others to examine why trans women are not a threat to womanhood: they are its most powerful proof. In this episode: Why the UK ruling matters far beyond Britain JK Rowling, Elon Musk, and the weaponisation of wealth Why biological sex is a spectrum, not a binary How gender is assigned, performed, and punished The role of evangelical power and purity culture in gender politics 10 takedowns of the “biological women only” myth See you on the Scenic Route, because sometimes the long way is the shortest way home. _____________________________________________________________________ Visit jenniferwalter.me – your cosy corner where recovering perfectionists, misfits, and those done pretending to be fine find space to breathe, dream, and create real change." 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION Follow on Instagram Follow on TikTok Follow on Threads 🔮 DAILY DOSE OF CHILL The Scenic Route Affirmation Card Deck is your online permission slip to trust your inner compass again.

The Weight We Carry: How Our Bodies Hold Stress – And What to Do About It feat. Michelle Sabatini
Why do we feel exhausted even when life looks “fine” on the outside? In this episode of Scenic Route , we explore the quiet, invisible weight so many of us carry—and how our bodies often hold onto stress, tension, and emotional labor in ways we don’t even notice. Zurich-based body therapist Michelle Sabbatini joins Jennifer Walter to discuss the difference between having a body and being one and how tuning into our physical sensations can be the first step toward healing and resilience. What we unpack together: The disconnect between how we feel and what we think we should feel Why perfectionism, caregiving, and mental load leave us chronically depleted The tension we don’t notice until it’s unbearable Why it’s so hard to say “I need help”—and how to start Two grounding breathwork practices to help you come back to yourself This episode is for anyone who's been feeling drained, disconnected, or “not quite right”— and wants to start coming home to their body in a grounded, compassionate way.

Smiles and Sacrifices: The Modern Motherhood Performance
Why are women punished for being honest about motherhood? When Chappell Roan said her friends with kids are “in hell,” the backlash wasn’t about the words but about breaking the performance. In this episode of Scenic Route , sociologist and coach Jennifer Walter unpacks the emotional labour, mental load, and societal expectations that define modern motherhood. Why do we praise men like Seth Rogen for opting out of parenthood while vilifying women who name the cost of caregiving? Why do tradwife aesthetics trend while actual support for mothers disappears? This episode explores: The mental load and invisible labour that mothers carry Why motherhood is a performance, not just an experience The backlash against Chappell Roan and what it reveals Adrienne Rich on motherhood as institution vs. experience Erving Goffman’s theory of social roles and the "good mother" mask The rise of the trad wife movement and its political implications Why unpaid care work is central to the global economy—and still invisible The cost of honesty in a culture built on maternal silence 🎧 With insights on: Call Her Daddy and Chappell Roan's viral statement The cultural double standard around parenting and gender How systems maintain control through emotional suppression Join us on the Scenic Route.

Your Brain’s Blind Spots: How to Think Critically in the Disinformation Age with Dr. Brie Kara
We are living in the Disinformation Age — a time unlike any other in history. Never before have we been bombarded with so much information, yet so little clarity. Our feeds are flooded with misleading headlines, personal opinions disguised as facts, and viral narratives designed to manipulate us. Even the sharpest minds can fall for misinformation—so how do we learn to see through the noise? In this episode of The Scenic Route , I sit down with Dr. Brie Kara , a psychologist specializing in disinformation and media literacy, to break down: The real difference between misinformation and disinformation (and why it matters) Why our brains are wired to fall for cognitive biases and mental shortcuts How disinformation campaigns hijack our instincts—and how to fight back Practical strategies to sharpen critical thinking and media literacy skills Why fact-checking isn’t enough—and what to do instead We’re constantly being pulled in different directions by algorithms, outrage-driven media, and our own subconscious biases.

What We Eat Is Political: Reframing Veganism with Joy feat. Matthew C. Halteman
What we eat isn’t just personal — it’s political. In this thought-provoking episode, Matthew C. Halteman , philosopher and author of Hungry, Beautiful Animals , joins Jennifer to reframe the ethics of veganism through the lens of joy, flourishing, and resistance . Instead of guilt or perfectionism, Matt advocates for ethical and vegan eating as an act of joyful defiance — a way to challenge systems of oppression while embracing personal and collective well-being. Together, they explore: How vegan ethics intersects with moral philosophy and political activism Why joyful resistance is more effective than guilt in driving change The role of food justice, sustainability, and compassionate living in ethical eating How to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance-based approach to activism Whether you're vegan, veg-curious, or simply interested in the political and ethical dimensions of what’s on your plate , this episode will challenge and inspire you. 🎧 Tune in and rethink what it means to eat with intention.

From Puerto Rican family trauma to untangling the knots of mother-daughter relationships, we're serving up a raw, real, and surprisingly hilarious journey through generational trauma, self-sabotage, mother wounds and becoming your hero.

How to parent without turning your kids' future therapy sessions into a full-time job The power of forgiveness (even when it feels impossible) Setting boundaries with family members (because "blood" isn't a free pass to be an asshole) Embracing your identity beyond the role of "daughter" or "son". "You're not your parents' property. You're your own person. Blanca E. Rodriguez Key takeaways: Healing family trauma starts with acknowledging your experiences and emotions.

What if you could transform the pain of surviving an ordeal into a thriving passion? Join us as we dive deep into the life of Casey Kang Head, an incredible woman who turned her battle with acute lymphocytic leukaemia into a source of strength, not just for herself but for others battling similar demons.

Our conversations take us beyond the realm of physical healing, touching on the often-ignored emotional scars that linger long after the treatments are over.

Sharing our external circumstances and focusing on self-worth is at the heart of our discussion.

Seasons Of Visibility With Katherine Mackenzie-Smith
Do you follow all the 'shoulds' in business on how to show up and sell? Well, today I'm joined by Katherine Mackenzie-Smith, who will be breaking down visibility, and why there are seasons to it that you might not have noticed before. We discuss why there are fundamental things that you need to do for your business to function. Typically, you don't start your business for these things, but it's a part of the journey and how to handle juggling the good pieces with the not-so-fun features with using the seasons to your advantage. If you're not feeling like using social media to get visibility on your business, that's ok, but we explore that you need to use some channel, whether it's in-person events or paid ads; you need to find a way that works for you to gain visibility. And when it comes to visibility, it's not about going hard 24/7 on being visible, selling all the time, but instead trusting that when the time comes to rest and pause, it's ok to do that. We discuss why you'll resent and feel worn out by your business if you're putting too much pressure on yourself to create content because you're worried about when the next invoice is coming in and how to prevent that from happening. If that sounds like you, then listen to this week's episode.

Manage Your Emotions Instead Of Your Time with Ilonka Ras
Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed in your business? Are you procrastinating on many things and feeling like your business isn't moving anywhere? In this episode, Ilonka breaks down how you should not focus on how to manage your time, and instead, you need to focus on how your emotions aren't serving you. We discuss how you need to start being intentional with your time by reflecting on where you're spending your time and stop comparing your time to others. Ilonka shares how the results we create in our business are correlated to the emotion we spend most of our time in, and if you want to manage your time better, it's not down to the tactics like time blocking and planning your days; it's down to managing your emotions around what is happening.

How Identifying Your Emotions Helps You Release Trauma With Lauren Best
Do you sometimes find it hard to express how you're feeling? In today's episode, I'm joined by Lauren Best, a Certified Hypnotherapist, as we discuss the different ranges of emotions and how to start checking in and being aware of your emotions. Throughout this episode, we explore how your emotions can cause trauma in your body and how it's important we listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us. Lauren shares about when she was experiencing momentum in her business, her body told her to pause and rest and by putting her body first, she was able to create more ease and work on her self-care. No healing journey is linear, but by opening your heart to coming back to yourself, you can discover so many new doors on new paths that you hadn't imagined. And we explore the ways in which you can explore this healing work through the subconscious mind and how Lauren uses hypnosis as a tool with her clients to identify blocks, limiting beliefs, and rewrite old stories. It's ok if you don't experience overnight results when working through your emotions and feelings, but with time you'll learn to be in control of how you want to feel and react.
