From Law Enforcement to Inner Peace: Jennifer Bailey-Hobbs on Healing, Strength & Starting Over

Welcome back to The Dana Grant Show, where heart-centered conversations meet powerful transformations. This week, Dana sits down with the incredible Jennifer Bailey-Hobbs, a former UK police inspector turned wellness entrepreneur, who shares her journey of reclaiming her life—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

After 30 years in law enforcement, eight spinal surgeries, and a lifelong struggle with self-abandonment and burnout, Jennifer took a bold leap. She left behind security and structure to create a thriving wellness business rooted in breathwork, Reiki, cold plunges, retreats, and radical self-love.

🔑 In This Episode, We Explore:

• What 30 years in law enforcement taught Jennifer—and what it took to walk away

• The emotional and physical cost of being the “funny big friend” and never prioritizing herself

• How she lost 112 pounds and became stronger—in body and spirit—in her 50s

• The power of cold plunges, strength training, and meditation to reset your nervous system

• The turning point that made her say: “My body was just waiting for my heart to catch up.”

• How to recognize when your nervous system is in constant fight-or-flight

• Rebuilding your identity in midlife and honoring your true purpose

• Launching a wellness spa, international retreats, and her upcoming sleep sanctuary, “Come to Bed with Jen”

• Why peace—not perfection—is the new success
