GUEST BIO
On the brink of a failing marriage after becoming a stepmom and blending families with her new husband, Jen knew she had to choose – her way or God’s way. Since her way wasn’t working, she decided to dive deep into God’s Word to find answers.
Jen Rogers is an inspirational speaker, a Certified Professional Life Coach, and a podcast host. She inspires women throughout the world to remove the shackles of “should” and “shame” to experience the strength, confidence, and boldness that comes from embracing the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Through years of experience as a stepmom, Jenn helps other stepmoms thrive by conquering imposter syndrome so they can stop wrestling with things out of their control and go from burnt out, to in love, with their lives.
Jen is also a recovered certified public accountant who helps startup Christian women entrepreneurs leverage resources so they can stop running around with their hair on fire and have time for the people, places, and play they treasure most. Jen’s taken all she’s gleaned from corporate, her epic resign-firing, and her Stepmama role, squishing them together with love, as she pivoted her podcast and work to Time To Simplify. When she’s not helping others launch a podcast (or coaching Stepmamas on the side), she’s speaking on stages about creating more time each day through leveraging the power of gratitude, planning, creative connections, and secrets of highly successful women entrepreneurs.
