About This Episode

What happens when you stop living in fear, release the pressure, and start trusting yourself in the middle of the chaos?

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Barb sits down with Jenny Gering, acclaimed costume designer behind shows like The Diplomat and films like Limitless, to explore the inner shifts that changed everything.

Jenny opens up about her unconventional path into Hollywood, the burnout that nearly pulled her out of the industry, and how a deeper internal transformation helped her navigate high-pressure sets, challenging personalities, and the unpredictability of freelance life with more ease, clarity, and joy.

They talk about intuition, resilience, reactivity, and learning to stop managing everyone else’s emotions just to feel safe. Jenny’s story is a beautiful reminder that our inner climate shapes everything, including the opportunities we see and the way we show up in our work.

Whether you’re a creative, a leader, or someone craving more peace in the pressure, this one’s for you.
