The Big Silence

We're hitting a huge milestone with our 100th episode of the Big Silence Podcast with Jenna Willis! Jenna’s complete mind-body-spiritual approach to wellness, as well as her remarkable results, have gained her a reputation as one of the most sought after rising celebrity trainers, working with stars like Lala Kent and Camila Cabello.

She’s all about embracing the REAL you in fitness, ditching the impossible social media standards of perfection, and making workouts fun again. Jenna has created her own online platforms including meal plans, personalized programs, and ongoing virtual workouts where she helps all achieve similar balance in their fitness journey.

In today's episode (recorded live in LA!) Jenna gets real about her journey, from chasing acting dreams to her time on Vanderpump Rules, and how she found her true calling in fitness after battling situational depression.

Her approach to fitness is all about feeling great, and she's got some game-changing tips for everyone. Plus, she shares her personal stories on moving on from a long-term relationship and dating in her 30s – it's a heart-to-heart with great advice you've got to hear.
