She Walked Away from a Six-Figure Career—And Built a Movement That’s Healing Women Across Australia

What if the thing you’re burning out from... is the thing you were never meant to build in the first place?

In this soul-shifting episode of Unleashed & Empowered, I sit down with the radiant Jeni Watson—former corporate powerhouse turned founder of Roaming Zen, and now the unstoppable force behind the expansion of The b. class® across Australia.

We talk about what it really takes to walk away from “success” that no longer fits... and the sacred unraveling that happens when you finally start listening to your body, your heart, and your truth.

From early days managing major retail teams, to a chronic illness that forced her to stop, to opening her first studio and discovering the magic of The b. class®—this is Jeni’s story of coming home to herself.

Now, she’s trading the studio for the open road, taking The b. class® on a national tour to ignite the hearts of women who’ve been waiting for something different. This isn’t just fitness. This is a movement of reclamation.

🔥 This episode is a love letter to every woman who’s ever felt the nudge to leave the path everyone else is following—and create the one her soul can dance on.
