EP. 6 | DISCERNMENT

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn talks about discernment — and what she’s learned after dedicating a full year to contemplating this word.

She shares how, for years, she believed she had to like and accept everyone — or else she was a bad person. For others, it’s the opposite: needing to be liked by everyone to feel worthy. Both are illusions rooted in fear — fear of rejection, of being wrong, of not trusting yourself.

You’ll hear about:

• The difference between discernment and judgment
• Why neutrality is a form of wisdom
• The trap of being endlessly accepting or endlessly palatable
• How to see clearly without attaching a story
• How to filter through noise, advice, and influence — and find your own truth
• Contemplative questions to help you return to your own clarity

Because you don’t have to like everything.

And not everything has to like you.
