Real conversations for women in the middle of real life
Speaking and podcast conversations on grief, sobriety, faith, identity, and the quiet struggles most women carry alone.
Jen Conrad brings honest storytelling, lived experience, and grounded faith into conversations that don't need hype—they need truth.
A voice for women in the in-between
Jen Conrad is a speaker, writer, and trusted voice for women navigating the in-between seasons of life.
With a background as a trained therapist (MSW) and lived experience through grief, loss, motherhood, and sobriety, Jen speaks in a way that feels both deeply personal and immediately relatable.
She doesn't show up with scripts or surface-level answers.
She shows up ready for the conversation that actually needs to happen.
A guest who goes there
Jen is the guest you bring on when you don't want a polished, perfect interview—you want something real.
She's comfortable talking about:
- The messy middle, not just the "after" story
- Sobriety and the gray area most women live in
- Grief that doesn't have a clean narrative
- Faith that wrestles, questions, and rebuilds
She brings depth, honesty, and clarity—without making the conversation heavy or hard to hold.
Your audience won't just listen.
They'll feel it.
What happens in these conversations
Whether on stage or behind a microphone, Jen creates space for:
- Honest reflection without shame
- Language for things women haven't been able to name
- A deeper, more accessible connection to faith
- Conversations that continue long after they end
This isn't about performance.
It's about connection.
