About Jenna:

Jenna Larson is a sales strategist and entrepreneur known for helping business owners simplify strategy into clear, executable systems.

She went on to build a coaching business that reached $250,000 (organically, with zero paid ads) and later became the co-owner of two tech companies, including the social selling software GroupTrack, which supports follow-up systems across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Jenna shares openly about building through faith, taking action before everything feels perfect, and “getting your feet wet” as a core leadership principle.

In this episode, Krystal Blackard and Lindsay Reynolds talk about why so many high-achievers feel exhausted, behind, or disconnected even when things look “successful” on paper.

They walk through how mislabeling seasons (calling everything growth when it’s actually maintenance or pruning) creates unnecessary pressure — and how clarity changes everything. Through real stories from marriage, business partnerships, blended families, and leadership, they explain why reflection, release, and realignment are the missing pieces most people skip.

This conversation introduces the Aligned Life Operating System, a practical framework for identifying your true season, clearing friction that drains your energy, and building alignment across life, relationships, and work — without adding more to your plate.

If you feel busy but ungrounded, driven but tired, or like you’re doing a lot without the peace you expected, this episode will help you name what season you’re in and move forward with intention.

In this episode we cover:

• Excitement for New Beginnings
• Realignment and Clarity in Goals
• The Aligned Life Operating System
• Celebrating Life's Journey
• Intentional Living and Family Dynamics
• Reflection and Growth
• Understanding Seasons of Life
• Preparing for Growth
• The Importance of Reflection
• Celebrating Memories and Reflection
• The Importance of Release and Conflict Resolution
• Understanding Friction Points in Relationships
• Managing Energy and Body Battery
• Navigating Seasons of Growth and Pruning
• Setting Intentions and Filters for Opportunities
• The Power of Realignment and Continuous Growth

Key Takeaways

• “Not every season is for pushing — some are for stabilizing.”
• “Calling everything growth is why people burn out.”
• “Alignment changes how your days feel, not just what you produce.”
• “You can’t move fast if you’re carrying unresolved friction.”
• “Your season determines your strategy.”
• “White space isn’t a reward — it’s a requirement.”
• “You don’t need more goals. You need clarity.”
• “Partnerships fall apart when alignment is assumed instead of discussed.”
• “Real growth feels lighter, not heavier.”
• “When you name the season correctly, everything else gets simpler.”

In this episode of Simplified Success, Krystal Blackard and Lindsay Reynolds sit down with Jennifer McKinney for a raw conversation about what actually creates lasting success.

Jennifer’s story isn’t built on hype or shortcuts—it’s built on small habits, strong systems, and principles that compound over time. From losing 156 pounds and keeping it off, to earning over $8 million in social selling, Jennifer breaks down the framework behind sustainable transformation in health, leadership, faith, and income.

This episode explores why most people don’t fail from lack of desire, but from lack of structure. If you’re walking into 2026 wanting real momentum instead of another reset, this conversation will reshape how you think about habits, systems, and success.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why motivation fails—and systems win
• How small, daily habits compound into massive results
• Success that outgrows you vs. leadership that can sustain it
• Losing 156 lbs through structure, not willpower
• How systems eliminate decision fatigue
• Accountability, tracking, and long-term consistency
• Authenticity over posture
• How fear quietly sabotages growth
• Turning principles into scalable tools
• Building movements without sacrificing integrity or faith

Key Takeaways

• You don’t rise to the level of your goals—you fall to the level of your systems
• Clarity follows structure
• Sustainable success is consistent and repeatable
• Fear is often just a story rehearsed too long
• Leadership starts with self-leadership

About the Guest: Jennifer McKinney
Jennifer McKinney is an entrepreneur, thought leader, and network marketing veteran who has earned over $8 million building relationship-first teams rooted in integrity and faith. Her journey includes losing and maintaining 156 pounds and creating practical systems that help people achieve sustainable change in health, leadership, and income.

In this episode, Krystal Blackard sits down with Nicky Rempel and Dave Rempel for a deeply honest conversation about what happens when life doesn’t just shift—it collapses.

This isn’t a polished success story. It’s the real one.

After business disruption, a major health crisis, and a season that nearly cost them their marriage, Nicky and Dave share what it actually looked like to rebuild from the ground up—with faith, humility, and alignment at the center.

They talk openly about reversed roles, identity loss, pressure inside marriage, and the quiet but powerful practices that helped them find their way back—not just to success, but to peace.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever:
• Built something big and lost themselves in the process
• Felt the strain success can put on marriage
• Realized clarity doesn’t always come before the breakthrough
• Needed proof that restoration is possible—even after everything falls apart

In This Episode, We Talk About:
• The season where everything fell apart for Nicky—and what it revealed
• How Nicky and Dave navigated business loss, health trauma, and emotional fallout
• The pressure marriage faces when traditional roles are reversed
• Why Nicky’s biggest growth didn’t come from clarity—but from chaos
• The daily practices and faith-centered shifts that helped them rebuild on solid ground.

About the Guests: Nicky & Dave Rempel

Nicky Rempel is a seasoned network marketing leader known for her relationship-first approach, integrity-driven leadership, and ability to rebuild at the highest levels of social selling. Her journey includes elite success, business disruption, personal loss, and a near-collapse of her marriage—yet through it all, she chose faith, character, and alignment over image.

Dave Rempel brings a powerful complementary perspective. Raised on a Canadian farm, Dave built and sold a successful mechanic business before pursuing elite-level CrossFit competition. His story includes extreme discipline, identity loss after a health crisis, and the difficult work of rebuilding purpose beyond performance.

Together, Nicky and Dave are living proof that success does not have to come at the expense of marriage, faith, or identity—and that rebuilding is possible when the foundation is right.

In this episode, Krystal Blackard sits down with Nicky Rempel for a raw conversation about what happens when success collapses—and what it really takes to rebuild from the ground up.

After years of building in network marketing, a perfect storm hit: business instability, a serious family health crisis, and a marriage under intense pressure. Nicky shares what it looked like to lose her footing, fight for restoration, and ultimately experience the most peaceful and aligned business build of her career—this time with faith and priorities in the right place.

In this episode:

• What triggered Nicky’s “everything fell apart” season
• How she rebuilt after business disruption and personal trauma
• The marriage pressure few people talk about when roles flip
• Why her biggest build came through chaos—not clarity
• The practices that helped rebuild a new foundation

ABOUT THE GUEST: NICKY REMPEL

Nicky Rempel is a seasoned entrepreneur and network marketing leader with over a decade of experience in the social selling space. A Canadian entrepreneur, wife of 31 years, and mom of three adult daughters, Nicky built her success through grit, relationship-first leadership, and a faith journey that reshaped everything she thought she wanted. With no formal education or traditional job history, she entered network marketing to relieve financial pressure at home—rising from “unknown” to elite earner, crossing her first million within 21 months and generating $80K–$100K months at her peak.

Over 12+ years, Nicky built across multiple companies and industries, earning $4–$5M while learning lessons many skip: stewardship, integrity, and how quickly success can become an idol if God isn’t first. She’s walked through business pressure, family strain, public scrutiny, and even a lawsuit—and emerged without resentment and without avoiding responsibility.

Her story isn’t defined by one company or one season. After business disruption, personal loss, and a near-collapse of her marriage, Nicky rebuilt—this time with faith, clarity, and alignment at the center.

Today, she leads one of her strongest and most peaceful builds to date, proving success doesn’t have to cost your marriage, faith, or identity. Known for integrity-first leadership and honest conversations, her message is clear: your money can grow, but your character has to grow faster. Sometimes the second build is the one that lasts.
