In this episode of The Couch Pod, we sit down with Jenny Dempsey — the host of Career Flipper and founder of San Diego Furniture Flipper. Her story is one of raw resilience, second chances, and rediscovering creativity after 400 job rejections.

Jenny opens up about getting laid off from her tech job, picking up a junky table from a friend’s basement, and finding purpose again—one piece of furniture at a time. We also dive deep into how flipping furniture became more than a side hustle—it became a metaphor for reclaiming your identity and values in a world obsessed with titles and income.

Whether you’re burnt out from the 9–5, looking for a creative outlet, or just curious about starting something of your own, this is a must-watch.
