What are Jen's real options moving forward?  She's almost 50 and has beaten the white progressive suburban wine mom girlboss of all the things to death.  Besides other women do this much better and are a lot younger.  She completely lost her former evangelical audience, which left with a lot of pain and sadness and were never really replaced as progressive fans are not as loyal and are a lot more fickle.  She never had an HGTV audience.  She already wrote her manifesto which sold bupkis.  Her cook book didn't sell either.   Her podcasts are bore fests with guests no one cares about.   Her charity grift is over, same as Glennon's which is a strange coincidence.  [/quote]

I've followed her from way back in her evangelical days. I was more aligned w her old belief system than not, still am. I liked that someone who didn't look and sound like my grandma wrote a relatable devotional.

I respect changing beliefs and was not bothered by her statement about inclusivity in 2016, although I know that is when she started losing her fanbase. She seems to have slid further and further to the left and become more annyoing since the divorce. I cant relate to her. Age has nothing to do with it but the general lack of purpose and not being able to bring out that sense of "me too" with the pile of followers she has now. I used to really dig into what she had to say. Now I just roll my eyes & come here to see the comments. And that is sad.

Her cookbook didn't do well because who buys cookbooks? Most people get their recipes online and follow chefs or food bloggers because they're food experts. Jen might have had the captive audience for a witty cookbook with gimpses into her life 10 years ago but in 2023, no she doesn't.

Her podcasts are super boring. I scroll through them every couple of months or so and usually don't find one topic where I find myself interested enough to listen. She's a great writer but she alienated the Christian moms and the girl boss wine mom progressives aren't invested in her at least not in very large numbers.

I think she's bright and witty and talented but until she figures out who she is and who her people are, mediocrity is probably the best we're going to see from her[/quote]

I could have written this.  Jen in 2012-2016 had a real voice.  She stood out and presented a beautiful fresh version of the Gospel.  Then she pivoted and pursued bigger, secular fame and fortune and eventually found herself where she is now.  Just another changing gong that’s clanging out loudly what every other influencer is clanging out.  No longer a fresh and honest and unique voice.  You can’t just curate a new one once you lose it.[/quote]
