Jen is a holistic nutritional health coach and a powerful advocate for women navigating chronic illness, emotional healing, and midlife transformation.

In This Episode Our sister story and how we reconnected through health coaching How chronic illness shaped Jen's mission to help women heal Why your body isn't broken, it's a messenger The connection between trauma, symptoms, and self-trust How emotional eating, restriction, and control show up in midlife The power of calming your nervous system for true healing Why we created the Cool Girl Collective and what it offers for midlife women A little humor, real talk, and some sisterly fun along the way About Jennifer Navara Jennifer Navara is the co-founder of The Cool Girl Collective and a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who helps women in midlife heal from years of chronic illness, fatigue, and emotional exhaustion. After walking her own long road of illness and recovery, she discovered that true healing happens when we calm the nervous system, process stored emotions, and rebuild trust with the body. Her work blends compassion, intuition, and holistic guidance to help women feel safe, energized, and at peace within themselves. Jennifer's approach is about remembering your body's wisdom — not fighting against it. She believes midlife is not the end of something, but the beginning of coming home to who you truly are.
