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.

Rediscovering Creativity (Part 1): The Surprising Way It Heals Us with Maria Carrasco
So many of us (especially moms) move through life feeling disconnected from our creative side. In this episode, Jena sits down with Maria to explore what happens when creativity feels buried under the weight of daily life, motherhood, and pressure to always be productive.
They talk about how early experiences shaped their beliefs about creativity, how perfectionism and self-doubt can shut it down, and what it looks like to reconnect with the creative part of yourself not to produce something impressive, but to feel alive again.
Whether you’re a writer, a painter, or a mom who hasn’t picked up a hobby in years, this conversation is a gentle invitation back to the creative spark within you.
Come back for Part 2, where Maria shares simple, powerful encouragement for busy moms to make space for creativity and why it deeply matters.
