Summary

Jenny Hutt says what she's thinking, what you're thinking, and what you'll never say. As a self-proclaimed anxious optimist, she truly believes that everything will work out, but while she's going through it, she is going to stress every step of the way. That's just Jenny, and from her many years on radio and television, and now in her podcast, Just Jenny, she knows that sharing all of this will help you too. As a lawyer, podcaster, radio and television host, author, entrepreneur, personal branding consultant, and influencer, Jenny has had a diverse background and career in entertainment, business, and law. She has also cultivated a deep passion for connecting with people.You probably know Jenny's voice from her first co-hosted show From 2005-2011, "Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer," on SiriusXM satellite radio. Jenny also co-authored the 2011 book, "WHATEVERLAND: Learning to Live Here: An Exuberant and Hilariously Irreverent Guide to Life." After that, she hosted "Just Jenny," a daily call-in show on SiriusXM radio, which later gave birth to the Just Jenny Podcast (which I had fun being on.) On her show, she tackles many subjects inviting listeners to engage in honest, humorous dialogue on everything from grieving the loss of a parent to transforming her body and spirit through healthy eating and exercise.  In this episode, Jenny shares her honest and endearing outlook on life, parenting, and managing day-to-day anxiety. She shows us how to find humor in the worst situations, even death. We learn what it was like to grow up as the daughter of Bunny and Charles Koppelman. Charles was of the most formidable industry executives of the past 50 years. Her father worked with everyone from Barbra Streisand to Prince. Her brother, Brian Koppelman (screenwriter, director, and producer), is the co-creator and showrunner of the Showtime series "Billions. And last but not least, her sister Stacey Fritz is her co-founder and co-inventor of Bunny Eyez®, a revolutionary eyewear company they founded in 2017.  Jenny's view of the world is honest and heart-warming. Her voice will brighten your day even if you think that's not possible. In her own words, "I have always wanted to make other people feel okay, and that's really it. I just want someone to see me getting through this life, warts and all messy, and let them know that they can do it too and that they're okay as they are. So many people strive for this unattainable thing they think is greatness. But it's all smoke and mirrors. Everybody has something incredibly powerful and special about themselves. But they also have deficits and areas in their lives that aren't so great. There isn't a person on the planet who has everything the way we think they do."
