Let’s Get Real with Jena Burris
Welcome to Let’s Get Real, the podcast for women who feel like they’re holding it all together on the outside… but falling apart on the inside.
If you’re exhausted from pretending, overwhelmed by the pressure to be everything for everyone, or unsure who you even are anymore—you’re not alone. And you’re not crazy.
Let’s Get Real is where we have honest conversations about the struggles most people avoid—healing emotional wounds, losing yourself in motherhood, rebuilding your identity, and learning how to live whole again.
I’m Jena Burris—wife, mom, and your host. With a background in marriage and family therapy, life coaching, and years spent navigating life behind the scenes of the NFL and Hollywood, I’m passionate about creating a space where real conversations lead to real healing.
Each week, you’ll hear real stories, practical tools, and the reminder that freedom is closer than you think. Because I believe that in order to heal, we have to get real.
New episodes every Tuesday. Real talk. Real tools. Real healing.

What No One Tells You About Making It to the Top: A Candid Conversation with Miles Burris
We’re told to chase our dreams, hustle hard, and climb to the top—but what happens when you get there and it still doesn’t feel like enough?
In this episode, Jena sits down with her husband, former NFL linebacker and Hollywood actor Miles Burris, for a raw conversation about what success really costs behind the scenes. From locker rooms to film sets, Miles has lived the high-performance life—and yet what mattered most wasn’t the external wins, but the inner struggles he had to face along the way.
Together, they unpack how ambition shaped (and sometimes strained) his identity, how faith and inner healing shifted his definition of success, and the often invisible toll of living in the spotlight.
You’ll hear real stories, honest reflections, and even a few light-hearted moments as they talk about the deeper truth behind success and what it means to build a life rooted in wholeness, not just achievement.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
•The hidden emotional toll of success no one talks about
•Why identity can crumble when performance becomes everything
•How faith reshaped Miles’ mindset in and after the NFL
•And how to start redefining success on your own terms
Whether you’re a high achiever, someone married to one, or just questioning if chasing success is worth the sacrifice—this episode is for you.
