Jama Pantel: Unfiltered
I decided to stop performing and start telling the truth.
Jama Pantel: Unfiltered is real talk for women who are done surviving and ready to actually figure out what comes next.
If you've spent decades being the dependable one, the overachiever, the fixer, the woman who figures it out while everyone else falls apart, this show is for you.
I'm Jama. I'm an Austin-based photographer, speaker, and 23-time marathon finisher who knows what it means to build something from nothing. I know what survival mode feels like from the inside. And I know what happens when life finally shifts and you don't know what to do with the breathing room.
Episodes are short, honest, and zero fluff. Because you're busy. And you deserve real.
