Becoming Heart Strong isn’t about what you’ve built or what broke you—it’s about who you’ve become. Hosted by Jess Lindberg, this podcast invites leaders, founders, and everyday changemakers into honest conversations about the challenges that shape us—and the strength we forge through them. These aren’t surface-level interviews. They’re vulnerable, grounded, and real. We talk about the losses, pivots, breakthroughs, and decisions that transformed not just someone’s path, but their character and lives. Because it’s not what happened to you or what you’ve accomplished that defines you—it’s who you choose to become, and what you create from the hard things. Every episode goes beyond the story to offer tools, strategies, and insights—especially from experts—to help you grow stronger in your own life. You’ll leave with not just inspiration, but practical ways to take your next step. If you’re ready to grow through what you go through, lead with heart, and live with deeper courage, this show is for you.

Show Notes:
This season I’m excited to bring to you people that I know in real life who all have something important and unique to teach you.
Today I’m talking with Jen Conger. Jen is a coach working with mission driven female entrepreneurs to use their intuition to grow their businesses. She is also a mom to two boys and just an all amazing woman. I’ve had the privilege of working with her in a professional capacity and I’ve loved every minute of it. Working with Jen has helped me get clarity on some important things in my life and work. But what’s really happened is I’ve returned to what I already know to be true about myself and what I’m here to do.
