Welcome to The Art of Abundant Living

December 10, 2025

Welcome to The Art of Abundant Living A sacred space for high-functioning, weary women ready to reclaim their worth, rest, and authentic identity. In this inaugural episode, Donna Jennings opens the doors to The Art of Abundant Living — a podcast created for the brilliant, capable, responsible woman who has spent years holding everything together… often at the cost of herself.

If you’ve ever quietly wondered: “When do I get to just be me?” “When does it get to feel easy?” — this is your homecoming.

In this episode Donna lays the foundation for the entire podcast by exploring: Why so many strong, accomplished women live in cycles of overachieving, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. How early conditioning teaches us to earn approval instead of embodying our inherent worth. The spiritual, theological, and human-rights–based anchors that affirm your innate dignity. The difference between a life of excess and a life of alignment. The deeper promise of John 10:10 — and what “life more abundantly” truly looks like.

This episode blends reflection, trauma-informed insight, faith, neuroscience, and grounded storytelling to guide you back to a truth too easily forgotten: Your worth is inherent — not earned, proven, or performed.

You’ll take away a deeper understanding of why you feel exhausted despite being so capable. Get permission to release the internal pressure to achieve, perfect, or please. And be reminded that rest, ease, and abundance are your birthright,

Rediscover a sense of spaciousness to exhale. Take a moment to reconnect with who you really are.

This is an introduction to the transformative themes that will shape this podcast: healing, identity, boundaries, authenticity, self-worth, embodiment, and aligned living as you rediscover your Divine Identity.

This podcast is intentionally crafted for women who are high-functioning but deeply tired, have spent years performing versions of themselves for acceptance, carry silent struggles beneath a polished life, who long for authenticity, rest, wholeness, and alignment.

Donna offers listeners a faith-rooted, trauma-informed, neuroscience-supported pathway back to themselves.

If that’s you… welcome home.

Episode Transcript

Donna (00:25)
Hello, my beautiful souls. Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Art of Abundant Living podcast. I'm so excited you are here. This podcast is a sacred space, a space for women who have spent years carrying the weight of expectations, responsibilities, and silent struggles. Women who are brilliant, high functioning, capable,

and exhausted. Women who have achieved so much on the outside while quietly asking on the inside, when do I get to just be me? When does it get to be easy? If that resonates with you, you are in the right place. For so many of us,

Life has become a cycle of overachieving, over-functioning, perfectionism and people-pleasing. Not because we aren't enough, but because at some point we learned that our value lived outside of us. We learned that to earn approval, perform for belonging, and shape ourselves into whatever was needed in the moment. And in the process,

We silenced ourselves, our desires, our truth, and even our needs. But here's the truth I want to reclaim with you. You don't have to earn the right to rest. You don't have to prove your worthiness. You don't have to become someone else to be loved, seen, or accepted.

Your worth is inherent. It is woven into you. The UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights speaks of the inherent dignity of every member of the human family. The theological concept of Imago Dei, which is Latin for the image of God, reminds us that we each are created in the image of God.

that our dignity is not bestowed by culture, productivity, or perfection, but by the one who formed us. And finally, egalitarian thought from ancient Greece affirms that all humans carry equal moral value.

But these aren't just concepts, they are far more. They're anchors and they form the foundation of this podcast. Because before you can live abundantly, you have to first know, you must understand deeply, unshakably that you are worthy of abundance.

In John 10 10, Jesus says, the thief comes to steal, kill and to destroy, but I have come that you may have life and life more abundantly. This podcast is an invitation back to that kind of life. Not a life of excess, but a life of alignment. A life where you return to your authentic self, reconnect with your God given identity.

and allow yourself to live from truth instead of fear, from freedom instead of striving. And if there's some excess along the way, we won't complain about that.

Each episode will be a blend of reflection, storytelling, neuroscience, trauma-informed insight, spiritual grounding, and practical wisdom.

and we're gonna have some fun together too.

You and I will get to explore burnout, self-worth, boundaries, identity, embodied healing, and the courage it takes to live as the person you were born to be, not the version you learned to perform.

My hope is simple, that this becomes a place where you exhale, where you remember yourself, where you rediscover a life that feels spacious, honest, and whole.

So thank you for joining me. I am honored to walk this journey with you. If this message resonates, I invite you to follow, to subscribe to the podcast, and share it with another woman who is ready to reclaim her worth and step into a more abundant life. And with that, my friends, we are off.
