The Work of You
This is a podcast about the leadership that matters most — the kind that starts from within.
Hosted by certified behavioral coach and Enneagram expert Jen Ostrich, The Work of You is for high-achieving humans ready to stop repeating patterns and start leading themselves differently.
Through insights from coaching, the Enneagram, and her own personal inner overhaul, Jen brings honesty, humor, and sharp emotional clarity to the table. With real talk, self-awareness tools, and a healthy dose of tough love, she helps you uncover what’s driving you, shift what’s no longer serving you, and ultimately do the work of you — one honest episode at a time.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally understanding yourself — so your choices, relationships, and leadership can actually align with who you truly are.

In this episode, Jen sits down with Dr. Anna Teerlinck — doctor of physical therapy, strength coach, and owner of Austin-based FemPower Physio — at 37 weeks pregnant and fully in motion. Anna works at the intersection of rehab and performance for women, and she brings the same unflinching honesty to this conversation that she brings to her clinical work.
Together, they explore what it looks like to take care of yourself when life is full — not as a luxury, but as a non-negotiable. From the "glass balls vs. rubber balls" framework for managing competing roles, to ADHD and the 90-second rule, to why your physical body isn't a separate track from your inner work, this episode is warm, real, and quietly clarifying.
In this episode, we explore:
- The "glass balls vs. rubber balls" framework — and why knowing the difference changes everything
- Why discipline is more sustainable than motivation when it comes to caring for your body
- How ADHD shaped Anna's self-awareness and her ability to hold space for hard conversations

Anna's closing invitation was simple: stop seeing mistakes as failures.
- Is there an area of your life where you've "fallen off the wagon" and been hard on yourself about it? What would grace look like there?
- What's one small thing you can return to today — not perfectly, just intentionally?
