How We Get Thru Podcast: Wellness, Healing & Spiritual Tools for Growth in Real Life

Jen Hersheyhowwegetthru.com

Do you ever feel stuck? Like no matter what you do, you’re in the same damn place? Or maybe you’re so overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself that even rest doesn’t feel restful anymore? Yeah. Same.


This season, we’re going there.


We’re talking about the messy in-between—the moments when life forces you to pause, rethink, and reroute. We’re diving into spirituality (the real, not the cringey kind), energy healing, soul contracts, astrology, shadow work—all the things that help you feel grounded when everything else feels like chaos.


Because if you’re feeling lost, exhausted, or like you’re searching for something more but don’t even know where to start, you are not alone.


I’m Jen—mom, therapist, and your guide in the How We Get Thru community. This is a space where you can exhale. Where we ask the big questions, sit with the hard stuff, and actually find ways to heal that make sense for you.


And if you want to go even deeper? Our HWGT community is where it all happens—live events, daily meditations, journal prompts, and real connection with people who get it.


So, hit that subscribe button, and let’s do this. And if you’re ready to truly dive in, join the HWGT community today—link’s in the description.


Welcome (or welcome back) to the How We Get Thru community. Where We heal. We grow. We get thru—together.
