Jena opens up about her latest album Flowers for Men (available now!), the vulnerability of songwriting, and how becoming a mother was a &quot;happy death&quot; of old ideals that reshaped her creative life. Chris and Jena dive into the Book That Changed Her Life, The Flowering Wand by Sophie Strand. Jena explains how Strand's invitation to redefine ancient myths around masculinity arrived at the perfect moment. The book found her as she navigated dating, raised a young son, and hungered for stories of the sacred masculine in a culture obsessed with the toxic. Together, they explore Strand's vision of a grounded, earth-rooted masculinity, why an answer often ends a story, and how revision, curiosity, and community in the unknown might be the most radical tools we have. #booksthatchangedmylife #library #bookrecs #bookreport #interview #podcast #chrisbulldogcollins \ud83d\udea8 Grab the coolest book &amp;amp; library tees, socks, hoodies &amp;amp; more! https:\/\/booksthatchangedmylife.org\/collections\/all ","author_name":"Books That Changed My Life","author_url":"https:\/\/www.booksthatchangedmylife.org","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41369650\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/202387165"}
