now, and now she is a senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation. But she has had

quite a story and she tells it all here on the Kylie cast from being a member of a yoga cult to

becoming a Christian, from being a radical feminist in Los Angeles, to being a conservative

woman who advocates for policies that make America healthy. Jennifer has done it all, and she's here to tell us all about it. You will not want to miss it.

Jennifer, thanks so much for joining me on the Kylie cast today.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to talk to you.

Back at you. Yes, it's so great to actually see your face. We've talked so much over email and some over the phone, so it's just great to actually see your face um i have been so curious to talk to you more

about your story ever since i read the very first piece that you wrote for us at the federalist

knew i'm like this girl you just you have such a great story to tell and I knew I wanted to

dive deeper into it. So now is finally the time years later. And I'm, I'm so excited. So everybody

should go read that article, by the way. But can you just start us off by giving us a bit of your

background? Like, where did you grow up? What were your biggest influences? How did you

turn into the person that you were maybe a decade ago? Wow. I will try to give the short version
