    But this isn’t just about coffee. It’s about redefining rituals, breaking up with hustle culture, and supporting your body—without giving up your favorite drink.

    Together, we explore:
    ☕ How Cafezia Coffee transforms traditional coffee with herbs like cleavers, hyssop, and yerba maté
    🌿 The science behind jitter-free energy and why this coffee supports your adrenals
    💤 Why so many women are wired and tired—and how caffeine may be making it worse
    🔥 How Jenna pivoted from burnout and public speaking to building a wellness brand
    💬 The cultural shift from coffee-as-fuel to coffee-as-ritual—and why that matters
    💡 What to look for in clean, mold-free coffee that actually benefits your body
    🧘‍♀️ Why slow mornings, French presses, and intentional pauses are the new power moves

    Whether you’re caffeine-sensitive, navigating hormone shifts, or just tired of the coffee crash, this conversation offers a deliciously doable upgrade for your daily routine.
