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.

June 18th marks one full year of The Work of You, and Jen marks it the only way she knows how — with radical honesty. She takes you back to where the podcast began: a business that had slowed, time that needed a purpose, and a calling she couldn't ignore. What she didn't see coming was the perfect storm waiting on the other side of launch week — a psychological Enneagram retreat that surfaced repressed trauma, the onset of perimenopause, and months of feeling like a shell of herself. She shares how she navigated all of it, why she kept showing up, and what this year has clarified about what's coming next for The Work of You as a platform.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why the podcast started: How a season of financial uncertainty and slowed client work became the opening for something Jen had been called to build all along.
- The harder story: What really happened in the second half of 2025 — a psychological retreat that surfaced repressed trauma, perimenopause, and the weekly work of showing up anyway.
- What commitment actually looks like: The difference between staying accountable to numbers and staying accountable to yourself and the people you're showing up for.
- What's next: Jen's expanded vision for The Work of You as a full platform — including the Enneagram masterclass, self-guided coaching products, and what's coming in season three.
The Work of You - Reflective Prompts:
- Where in your life are you showing up even when it's hard, and have you given yourself credit for that?
- What are you currently doing more for external proof than for internal alignment, and what would it look like to shift that?
- Is there a version of the next chapter of your life that you're not letting yourself fully imagine yet — and what's in the way?
