About this episode

Ever feel like you've completely lost yourself? Like you're going through the motions but don't even recognize who you are anymore?

That's exactly where my guest Jenny Hubbard found herself before everything changed.

Jenny’s the founder of Realization Coaching and a certified NLP practitioner, but before all that, she went through some seriously rough stuff. We're talking profound loss, relationships that left her feeling totally alone, and moments where she had to completely rebuild her life from scratch.

Here's the thing though, all those hard times? They taught her exactly what she needed to know to help other people transform their lives.

In this episode, Jenny and I dig into:

  • How she lost herself and what it took to find her way back
  • The difference between lonely relationships and the deeply fulfilling ones she eventually created
  • Why your biggest breakdowns usually come right before your biggest breakthroughs
  • The real skills nobody teaches you about personal growth and healthy relationships

This conversation hit me hard because it's proof that even when life feels impossible, you can find joy, real connection, and actual purpose again.

If you've ever felt stuck, lost, or like you're just surviving instead of actually living, this one's for you.

Jenny Hubbard is the founder of Realization Coaching and a certified practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Jenny has been transforming lives and relationships for nearly 15 years through her personal and executive coaching, online courses, live events, and television appearances. She specializes in helping high achievers master the skills needed for deep intimacy and connection in both personal and business relationships.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
