When "Not Yet" Becomes "Right Now"

A Mental Health Podcast About the Moments That Spark Change

Jen is a childhood abuse survivor living with Complex PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder. Throughout her life she has learned many skills to cope with hersymptoms and developed a therapeutic doll, My Moody Monster, to help children better cope with their frustrations. Jen's YouTube channel features "Moody Talks" - each month she features an emotion and discuss how we experience that feeling along with coping skills using DBT.

After being featured on multiple mental health and parenting podcasts, she had a powerful realization: her story of pushing away the hard work of facing my trauma was just one journey, and there are countless other journeys out there—each just as important and impactful. This is what inspired her to create "When Not Yet Becomes Right Now", a space for exploring the many different paths we take in life.

Jennifer Ginty

Podcast Host/Founder of My Moody Monster

Jennifer is a single mom and entrepreneur who lives with Complex PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder from childhood trauma. Throughout her life, Jen has learned valuable coping skills and has made it her mission to help others to better understand their own emotions.

Jen has faced obstacles in her healing journey - from becoming a mother without a healthy parental model of her own to overcoming her inner saboteur while coping with the symptoms of CPTSD and Depression. She has spent the last 4 years developing My Moody Monster - a pull apart plush toy that has helped children to get out their frustrations in a safe way and giving families a tool to talk about emotions and communication.

Jen believes by sharing her own story she can help others to know they are not alone. Her YouTube channel features her Moody Talks focusing on an emotion each month and teaching coping skills that have helped her with her own mental health.

After being featured on multiple mental health and parenting podcasts, Jen had a powerful realization: her story of pushing away the hard work of facing her trauma was just one journey, and there are countless other journeys out there—each just as important and impactful. This is what inspired her to create "When Not Yet Becomes Right Now", a space for exploring the many different paths we take in life.
