30: Jen - From Trauma to Transformation, Through Feeling All the Feels

I was not prepared for how deep this conversation was going to get. Jen Ginty, creator of Moody Monster, joined me on the pod, and we got real about emotional healing, trauma, and the messy, complicated feelings that make us human.Jen shared how Moody Monster started as a way to process her own emotions—and ended up becoming a powerful tool for helping kids (and adults) understand and express their feelings. We dive into shame vs. guilt, why emotions shouldn’t be ignored, and the identity crisis that can come with healing.We also talk about the power of community, storytelling, and even pets in emotional well-being. Plus, she dropped some serious wisdom about coping skills, inpatient care (it’s not a weakness!), and why embracing vulnerability makes us stronger.Oh, and don’t miss the rapid-fire questions at the end—she had some amazing answers.🎧 Listen to The Brave B*tches Podcast on Spotify & Apple Podcasts📩 Get my emails for updates & bold convos: hannahsolmarie.kit.com/join📸 Instagram → @hannahsolmarie | @bravebtches🌎 Website → hannahsolmarie.com🔗 Connect with Jen & Moody Monster:🌎 Website: MyMoodyMonster.com📺 YouTube: @MyMoodyMonster📸 Instagram: @MyMoodyMonster📖 Jen’s Recs:🎙️ Horror Heals Podcast📖 Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix🎶 Nine Inch Nails💬 Have you ever struggled with feeling too much?
