The Work of You
This is a podcast about the leadership that matters most — the kind that starts from within.
Hosted by certified behavioral coach and Enneagram expert Jen Ostrich, The Work of You is for high-achieving humans ready to stop repeating patterns and start leading themselves differently.
Through insights from coaching, the Enneagram, and her own personal inner overhaul, Jen brings honesty, humor, and sharp emotional clarity to the table. With real talk, self-awareness tools, and a healthy dose of tough love, she helps you uncover what’s driving you, shift what’s no longer serving you, and ultimately do the work of you — one honest episode at a time.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally understanding yourself — so your choices, relationships, and leadership can actually align with who you truly are.

Finding Meaning in the Mess
What if our "mess" is not a detour to be taken and instead a doorway to welcome?
Fresh off facilitating Enneagram work at the Soul Reset retreat I share themes that surfaced again and again: the power of community, what renewal actually looks like in real time, and why resilience is less about pushing through and more about softening into what’s true. I also open up about my own ongoing healing journey—what’s shifting, what’s still tender, and how the inner work continues to reshape the way I lead, connect, and care for myself. If you’re navigating a season of complexity or craving a deeper sense of clarity, this episode offers companionship, perspective, and gentle encouragement for whatever chapter you’re in.
