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.

Episode 32 — The Truth About Abundant Life with Jennifer Bosma
Most of us have heard Ephesians 3:20 — “God can do exceedingly and abundantly more than all we ask or imagine.” It’s a beautiful promise, but sometimes, if we’re being honest, that verse can feel like salt on an open wound.
When life looks messy, when you’re overwhelmed, when your prayers seem to go unanswered — the word “abundance” can feel almost cruel. You might start to wonder, If God can do all this, why doesn’t my life look like that? Am I doing something wrong?
In this episode, I sat down with Jennifer Bosma, wife, mom, grandma, author, and host of The Front Parking Spot Podcast, to talk about what abundance really means — and what it doesn’t.
The Story Behind the “Front Parking Spot”
Jennifer’s story starts in a simple moment — three little girls, a double stroller, and a crowded parking lot.
Every car in front of her turned left, following the crowd, but something nudged her to turn right.
And there, waiting for her, were two open spots right at the front.
It wasn’t just a lucky parking moment. It was a metaphor — a reminder that sometimes, the abundant life God invites us into starts with a quiet decision to go against the flow.
That day became her life motto: Go for the front parking spot.
And not just in parking lots — but in life, motherhood, and faith.
In This Episode, We Talk About:
- How Jennifer’s “front parking spot” story became a picture of faith in motion.
- Why abundance isn’t about more money, more ease, or more followers — it’s about more trust.
- The danger of tying abundance to external success instead of spiritual contentment
- What it looks like to model courage and obedience for your kids (they’re watching how you try, not how you succeed).
Why This Conversation Matters
We live in a world obsessed with “more.”
More money. More productivity. More everything.
But real abundance — the kind that doesn’t vanish when life gets hard — begins when we stop chasing and start surrendering.
If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling “behind,” or wondered if God’s promises still apply to you, this episode is for you.
Because abundance isn’t about getting the front row — it’s about realizing you were invited there all along.
Maybe abundance isn’t a destination.
Maybe it’s the quiet, everyday courage to believe that even now — even here — you are living inside God’s promise of “more.”
So before you go, take a breath.
Look around.
And ask yourself:
💭 What would it look like to go for the front parking spot today?
