In this special episode, we’re flipping the script… 💛

Instead of interviewing a guest, it’s time to get to know the women behind In Her Steps — Linh and Jen.

From unexpected fun facts (yes… durian and pool skills 👀) to deeper reflections on life, growth, and what truly matters, this episode is a raw and honest conversation about who we are beyond the titles.

We talk about:

✨ The little things that bring us joy (music, sunsets, simple routines)

✨ Our personalities — planner vs spontaneous

✨ Life lessons from travel, expectations, and growth

✨ What we want to be remembered for

✨ And the heart behind why this podcast exists

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection.

Because at the end of the day, we’re walking this journey with you, one step at a time.

If you’ve ever wondered who we really are… this one’s for you.

Fear can keep us stuck in places we know aren’t right.

In this deeply honest episode of In Her Steps, Linh Podetti and Jennifer Cao open up about the fears that can hold women back—fear of judgment, fear of hurting family, fear of loneliness, and the fear of starting over.

Linh shares her personal experience of leaving a dangerous relationship and the real fear she faced for her safety, while Jennifer reflects on how cultural expectations and family pressures made it difficult to walk away from something that was hurting her. Together, they explore why fear can paralyse us—and how courage often begins with one small decision to change.

This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and empowering for any woman who has ever felt trapped by uncertainty. Through personal stories and reflection, Linh and Jen remind us that fear doesn’t have to define our future, and that sometimes the bravest step is simply choosing yourself.

✨ Remember: You don’t have to walk this journey alone. One step at a time, towards the life you deserve.

Dating again as a single mum can feel heavy, filled with fear, shame, and the belief that you’re somehow “damaged goods.” In this honest episode of In Her Steps Podcast, Linh Podetti and Jennifer Cao open up about dating after divorce, cultural judgment, self-worth, intimacy, and learning to love again without losing yourself.

We share real experiences, the mistakes, the mindset shifts, protecting our kids, redefining attraction, and discovering that true love often grows quietly, not chaotically.

If you’ve ever wondered “Is it okay to want love again?”, this conversation is for you.

Being a mum can feel like losing pieces of yourself while trying to hold everything together for everyone else. In this deeply honest episode, Linh and Jennifer open up about the messy, complicated, beautiful journey of rediscovering self-care, self-love, and identity after motherhood.

From clubbing at 20 to ballroom dancing at 40, from bath-time meditation to peeling fruit just to stay sane, from parenting mistakes to healing past traumas, we explore how self-care evolves, why women judge themselves so harshly, and what it really takes to show up as the mother you want to be.

This conversation is raw, real, and filled with the kind of compassion and understanding every mum deserves.

Because you don’t have to do it alone. One step at a time, you can move toward the life you deserve.
