That was always my interaction at ANC. I could do things for you, but never be around you. I remember when she wrote Moxie all of the ANC women worked to throw together a big launch party at her house. After volunteering all day I remember asking to use the restroom and being told not to go in Jen’s house. I drove to the gas station to pee. Later the usual ANC clique was laughing it up inside with Rachel Hollis. We left to go to Gateway soon after. |
Yes manic and desperate. She thinks she is so clever and yet she just comes off as thirsty. For Eminem? Really? It's like she is having one very-delayed prolonged teenage rebellious period. Super obnoxious and made worse by the fact that she's pushing 50. |
What’s Jen’s career now?
She’s got the podcast it I don’t think it’s drawing big numbers anymore, her monthly book club, and the constant promo code shilling game. And the Legacy Collective thing, where she supposedly doesn’t “get a dime”. She’s got a cook book coming out later this year so she probably got a nice advance on that. But her last two books were flops so I’d imagine her publisher is probably a bit spooked about okay’ing new titles. And she’s not doing conferences anymore. But really none of the PreCovid Influencer crowd is anymore, like Rachel Hollis. So is the waning podcast, the book club, and a cookbook brought to support her lifestyle heavy on travel and Broadway tickets? |
I honestly felt so embarrassed about the halftime show posts. Like, there is no way she knew who those singers were before yesterday. Lol that’s just the way I feel it reads. Whatever can draw her a crowd, that’s where she’ll be. Oh well. |
sure she knew who all those singers were yesterday. i knew who they were before yesterday and i am older. i don't care for them or care to see them and would certainly not gush over them though.
|
Yeah I think the issue is less whether she knew them and more what prompted her to fire off that 2000 word unfiltered post about them. She had already posted that she enjoyed the show. That second post was so hard to read. I didn't make it all the way through it bc the second hand embarrassment was painful. |
It was embarrassing. The extra is strong with this one. Waaaayy too strong. She’s trying so hard, it makes me cringe. The desperation to remain relevant is unreal. |
I grew up in a Christian culture of purity and submissive wives and divorce and women staying in toxic marriages, and actually appreciated Jen's podcast released today with Kristen Howerton and Jamie Wright.
If you came from this same background, this one is for you. Incidentally, I also follow Ann Voskamp who is being drilled on a Facebook post she wrote Feb 12 and the comments, as well as Ann's eventual edit and disclaimer are (ding ding ding!) profoundly telling of the current culture of women who came from this environment and are struggling to find help, community, and heal from their story. *Post is triggering if you are healing from or in the midst of divorce* |

Has anyone been able to do a wellness check on Jen to make sure she's fully recovered from the Superbowl halftime show? |
Were her last 2 books flops as a poster mentioned above? I didn't realize. I thought she was still a big deal....Just read the half time posts. WOW. Trying so hard to sound urban and relevant and hip and everying a almost 50 year old shouldn't be...I have second hand embarrassment. I was ready for pics of her and Jason Batemen though....glad there were none... |
Couldn't pay me to listen to a podcast with both Howerton and Hatmaker. |
Howerton is sort of a less cloying, less try-hard Jen. She also seems to be more grounded and real. Less fun to make fun of and therefor a lot less interesting. Jamie Wright is way way better than the other two, though, in my opinion. A lot naturally funnier and more bitingly witty and doesn't give two shits about what others think. |
I’m suffering through it because I’m just too damn curious! 30 minutes in and so far all 3 of them are just complaining about their ex-husbands and blaming it ALL on them. And on the church?! I don’t know if I can make it…… |
This. Everyone knows and who's honest admits that in the vast majority of divorces it's a too person at fault scenario. It was in mine! Jamie, Jen, and Kristen were just three virginal, pure, super loving and giving saints who tragically married three monsters? Please. |
