Have you ever felt like trading your so-called perfect life for a more authentic one? That’s exactly what Jane Garnett did. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years in practice and the author of the memoir, This Time with Feeling (May 2026). Her work focuses on helping people get unstuck, particularly during life transitions where things look “right” on the outside but don’t feel aligned internally.

In this episode:

  • That moment when you realize you need to let go of the "perfect life" to have an authentic life
  • Why so many people feel stuck, even when they’ve done everything “right”
  • How to tell the difference between a phase of discomfort and a life that truly needs to change
  • Our “inherited scripts” and how they shape the lives and relationships we end up in
