S2E10: Downward Dog, Duct Tape & the Divine—Healing Where it Hurts with Jennifer Zenner Clark

What do yoga, under-earning, duct tape, and divine surrender have in common? In this unforgettable episode, we sit down with trauma survivor, yoga instructor, and recovery mentor Jennifer Zenner Clark, who shares her incredible journey from childhood abuse and addiction to healing, self-trust, and service.

Jennifer opens up about growing up in a home filled with violence, neglect, and silence — including a stepfather who told her she’d never be anything. But she became everything she needed: a sober woman of 14+ years, a safe space for others, and a powerful voice in trauma recovery.

We dive into:

• The relationship between trauma and dissociation — and how yoga brings you back
• How under-earning and self-sabotage are often rooted in deep shame
• Why your inner child needs more than a lollipop (but hey, that helps)
• What happens when your nervous system is so shut down, you can’t even be startled
• The pain of estrangement, the grief of Mother’s Day, and the surprising freedom of stillness

It’s raw. It’s hilarious. It’s holy.

And yes, we talk about bananas, inner family photo galleries, and the healing magic of paisley brain swirls.

If you’ve ever felt like healing is impossible — or wondered why rest feels unsafe — this episode will meet you where you are and gently hold the mirror up to your magic.
