In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of the ASQ Podcast, Dr. Jessie and Omar sit down with Jenny C. Cohen — visibility and embodiment master, bestselling author, former award-winning dancer, and creator of the Spotlight Confidence Formula.
Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Jenny's early life was shaped by responsibility, survival, and adaptation.
As the eldest daughter in a traditional family, she learned early that her role was to care for others. At just four years old, she found herself responsible for her younger brother while navigating circumstances that would leave lasting emotional scars.
Then came another transition.
Immigrating to the United States without speaking English, Jenny entered a world where she constantly felt different, unseen, and unsure of where she belonged.
She opens up about:
• Growing up between two cultures
• The impact of childhood trauma and complex PTSD
• Being bullied throughout her early years
• Learning to survive by blending in and becoming whoever others needed her to be
• The moment she discovered the power of using her voice
For years, Jenny became an expert at adapting.
She could fit into any room.
Connect with any group.
Make others feel seen.
But underneath it all, she still didn't know who she was.
This episode explores:
• The hidden cost of losing yourself to fit in
• Why trauma often creates people-pleasers and perfectionists
• The relationship between visibility and self-worth
• How confidence is built through authenticity—not performance
• The difference between surviving and truly living
As the conversation unfolds, Jenny shares how marriage, motherhood, and life’s unexpected challenges became catalysts for deeper self-discovery.
Over time, she stopped asking:
"How do I fit in?"
And started asking:
"Who am I when I stop trying to be what everyone else expects?"
Today, Jenny helps high-achieving women overcome self-doubt, reclaim their voice, and step into authentic leadership with confidence and clarity.
This episode is for anyone who:
• Struggles with self-doubt despite outward success
• Feels stuck between who they are and who they're expected to be
• Has spent years putting everyone else first
• Is ready to stop hiding and start showing up fully
Jenny's story is a powerful reminder that finding your voice isn't about becoming someone new...
It's about returning to who you've always been.

Thanks For Watching
The ASQ Podcast | Real Voices. Experiential Journeys. Transformational Impact.
Hosted by Dr. Jessie and Omar Ferreira, The ASQ Podcast is the voice of the ASQ Movement—where ancient wisdom meets modern science to bring coherence to life, leadership, and organizations.
Each episode bridges two interconnected journeys:
The Inner Quest, focused on self-awareness, healing, identity shifts, and authentic living, and
The Outer Quest, centered on conscious leadership, innovation, culture, and real-world impact.
At its core, the ASQ Podcast follows a transformational pathway:
Design Thinking → Human Insight → Innovation → Execution → Business & Social Impact.
We begin with deep human understanding, translate insight into meaningful innovation, and move toward conscious execution that creates measurable, lasting impact.
Through real stories, thought-leader conversations, and reflective dialogue, we share practical tools, psycho-spiritual perspectives, and leadership frameworks to help you navigate life transitions with clarity and purpose.
This is not surface-level inspiration.
This is a quest to remember who you are—and to live and lead from within.
