Unlocking Inner Peace: From Trauma to Triumph with Amy Vincze
Welcome back to "When Not Yet Becomes Right Now," the podcast where we dive deep into the moments of transformation—the times when "not yet" shifts into "right now" and everything changes. As your host, Jen Ginty, I created this space to explore the countless different paths people take in life, recognizing that my own journey of healing from childhood trauma was just one among many powerful stories. Our goal is to share stories of resilience, moments of clarity, and the sparks that ignite real change, helping listeners feel seen and understood.
In this illuminating episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Amy Vincze, who shared her incredible transformative journey from personal trauma to profound healing through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping.

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.
