No doubt she has suffered trauma from the divorce. I just wish she’d be intentional and take the needed time to heal from it. Instead she immediately jumped into a relationship. She does need a re-set and she just doesn’t seem to be really growing emotionally. She seems like a ping pong ball going every which way the money or sex takes her to. She needs those who love her to intervene and help her to do what it takes to heal and it’s not easy work doing that. She’s just doing everything way over the top when really less is more probably in every area of her life right now. She seems addicted to social media so I can’t see her cultivating an offline life. She seems to have channeled her hurt into rage that she directs at Remy. Or maybe that was formerly channeled at Brandon?

What is she thinking? Where are her friends? Her family? That entire outfit is horrific. And why does she stand so awkwardly in a short dress like that? Somebody please save her. She needs to stop, this has gotten out of control.

As much as her recent public silliness-shilling annoys me, I do appreciate the comments here about how being betrayed so publicly deeply impacts the psyche. I was in a similar situation, after being married 25 years, and it took 10 years for me to finally get my footing back. I can't imagine what it would have been like for that to all the public on social media. So I have been thinking about how fresh her break up is, and how visible. It hurts like a MF.

“You need cash and people are paying you money to hawk junk.”
I think this is a huge part of it. Whatever financial mess brandon left her with, it seems like she may have determined then and there that she was going to climb back out of it and succeed financially, even if it meant constant shilling and accepting any and every deal or sponsorship offered - she was going to post constantly to hold onto that audience that will buy what she hawks. She appears to be doing just fine financially so if that was her goal it may have worked. But it seems like she’s lost so much of herself in the process.

Why is the lashing out being made public? Obviously getting divorced was traumatic for Jen and jammed some gears in her brain. Her significant and public regression could represent prolonged PTSD symptoms.
Maybe she’s just too impulsive and undisciplined (right now or always) to take her business to the next level.
Jen may not even care much about being an influencer anymore or maybe holds resentment towards the role due to the negatives that this career has brought to her life. She still craves attention but she might be feeling entitled, like she should be able to do whatever she wants and still somehow become a super power couple, gazillionaire goddess of the land.
The most compassionate take I can think of is that she’s self-loathing due to being cheated on. She’s self-destructing because despite what she preaches, she still struggles to value herself right now.
Love and peace Jen ❤️
But you have to be a bit narcissistic to pursue all this in the first place so who knows how and if it will come.
She has spent her entire life being told how exceptional and accomplished she is in a very small echo chamber. Infidelity is so traumatic of a betrayal even for someone with a healthy or normal dose of self sense but it is especially destructive for someone like her who hasn't experience hardship otherwise AND has been told her whole life why she is better than everyone.

Agreed. Betrayal trauma absolutely causes PTSD. I think this all points to the ridiculousness of the influencer culture and selling yourself, your thoughts and your family as a brand. When life changes and gets hard, you’re on a public stage. You want or need to keep some things private, so what do you talk about instead? Your ex has moved on and can see everything you post. Do you post honestly or defiantly say you’re living your best life even though you’re not? You need cash and people are paying you money to hawk junk. Do you accept or stay true to the brand that no longer fits anyways? She needs a bit of a reset or a reckoning. But you have to be a bit narcissistic to pursue all this in the first place so who knows how and if it will come.

She wasn’t even mentioned in the press release this conference sent out prior to the conference: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mom-2-0-summit-the-nations-biggest-parenting-influencer-conference-comes-to-phoenix-on-may-7-9--2023--right-before-mothers-day-301794647.html

It’s like she wants everyone to know she has a speaking engagement and to see that they gave her a fancy room so she finds some ridiculous excuse to show it to us… 🙄
That story was absolutely just to mention that she's keynoting and to show off that she's in a big suite. The room wasn't even that messy. She just needed an excuse to brag and it was so obvious.

Their clothes have beautiful patterns but a lot of volume and it’s hard for women our age to pull it off. The belt she added was so bad. They have a few v neck midi dresses that could have worked but nothing w those dreadful, OUT OF SEASON boots.
It's tough. I am Jen's age and despite having a decent figure there are some things that just look dumb on me now. And that quite frankly probably looked dumb on me in my 20s but I am a better judge of what works for me now.

Jen is such a pretty woman. Tall, great bone structure, big bright smile, sparking eyes.
But her style is such a disaster that all of that is lost.
Jen, please, get a stylist!! You have the means. This doesn’t have to be your life!

Her makeup is giving me Heidi Powell vibes. Harsh, hard and way too much. It appears like she’s trying to contour but instead is just adding way too much on her face.

The funny thing is, she looks great in a T-shirt with no makeup. She doesn’t need to be someone she’s not, she just needs to find a better version of “Texas dress-up.” Like, pick one thing. Solid dress with bold turquoise jewelry. A more flattering embroidered dress with neutral accessories that actually match the outfit. All with softer hair and makeup.

She’s tagged by Kristen Howerton at another Mom2.0 event and even that dress is a better fit but it’s still not good. It’s so cosplay to me and the heavy vampire makeup. She just isn’t classy. And as she makes videos self professing how uncouth and messy she is, idk why I would expect different from her physical appearance but she has so much potential. And so many resources in money and ppl she can pay to show her makeup, hair and buy her clothes. I think she IS having someone do the hair and pick the clothes and that might be the worst part—she has so little discernment that even when she pays for help, it backfires.

her face looks so frozen that when she adds the heavy makeup it looks like a mask - i think she is naturally very pretty but i hate the weird botoxy look
