Ep. #182 | Laura Foster interviews Jenn Pike on her decision-making process during the pandemic
Listen on Apple Podcasts
Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I’m delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women’s revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.
I am switching things up on the podcast today; I will be interviewed by my longtime friend Laura Foster, who came up with this idea. She felt that you get to hear from me through my regular episodes, interviews, and simplicity bites, but there is a difference between being me sharing carefully planned content and me answering a question in the moment.
Laura gets to see this side of me all of the time because of our working relationship and our close friendship. She wants you to see what she sees, through her interviewing me.
Laura dives into my thoughts before and after the pandemic; my family’s decision-making process for picking up and moving out west to Kelowna, BC; and my vision on how women leaders can make the world a better place.
This episode reveals my thoughts on my values and how I am living in this world.
If you have a question for me and my team, send it over to hello@jennpike.com or via Instagram at @jennpike and I’ll do my best to share helpful insights, thoughts and advice.
Here are the main topics of today’s episode –
- Where my heart is at this point of the pandemic
- Setting boundaries in life
- Moving to Kelowna
- My family being self-sufficient
- How I stay rooted in who I am
- Women leadership in today’s world
- Speaking up for your values

Quotes –
- “I realized about two weeks in that I needed to cancel our cable. I couldn’t have the news on in our home anymore. I was starting to feel it change how I was showing up and functioning as a person. And I knew right out of the gate, this is not in alignment with who I am.”
- “We were starting to cultivate things in our own home, building a bigger garden, doing different things so that we could be the resource for what we needed to have for our food and for our health, and our safety.”
- “I wasn’t looking for permission from anyone else. The family unit was important. My husband and my children are important because this was impacting the four of us, but I wasn’t talking to other people looking for their permission or their opinions.”
- “In 18 months, I have learned that what you needed last week may not be what you need this week and it is this willingness to unlearn and un-become so that we can become and learn the things that we need to go forward.”
- “I see more women and more mothers than ever that are standing up and are saying: ‘Not happening. Not to me, not to my family, not to the world my children are going to grow up in”
- “Freedom and opportunity to choose whatever that means for you, whatever that means for you.”
