Jenn Todryk is sharing more insight into her decision to end her HGTV series, No Demo Reno.
Todryk led the home renovation series for three seasons from 2021 to 2023. During a September 2025 episode of the You, Me & Mike podcast, she revealed that HGTV had asked her to do a fourth season, but she said she struggled to find a good work/life balance.
“I basically had to come to the realization that I’m either all-in and I’m over everything or I don’t do it,” she shared at the time, going on to add, “[My HGTV handler] took it really well. She was like, ‘We’re obviously devastated, like, it’s not what we want, but we understand. The door’s always open.’ That’s where we left it.” (The show has remained on pause since.)
Todryk reflected on her journey with the series in an interview with People published on Thursday, June 11, stating that her schedule grew busier after she became an executive producer on Season 2 of No Demo Reno. The role required her to take charge of designs, provide notes on final episode cuts, finalize shooting schedules, and more.
“I was also behind the scenes as far as what the show’s tone was and how we showed everything, how we shot things,” she told the outlet, adding that she’s especially proud of Seasons 2 and 3 because the show “incorporated more of my humor and how I wanted things shot and more of the interviews that are off the cuff, more improv style.”

As a result of putting more work into the show, Todryk said she would come home “exhausted” at the end of a filming day. “It just got to the point during season 3 where I was very stubborn and I stuck to my guns that work was done at 4:30,” she shared. “I wanted to be done because we have three kids. They’re all very active and my husband is one person and we can’t clone him.” (Jenn shares her three kids — Von, Berkley, and Vivienne — with her husband, Mike Todryk.)
“I don’t think my kids recognized it because they were too young,” she explained. “I would get home from filming and I felt like I wasn’t being my most energetic mom when I was in the moment with them. … I would shoot and then I would put my kids to bed and then I’d have to watch cuts and look over beat sheets.”
Todryk also credited her health struggles as part of her decision to step away from the show. “I also have Hashimoto’s to a very severe degree, which is a thyroid disease and an autoimmune disorder. And so I was trying to navigate that and figure that out too,” she said.
Looking back on the decision to wrap things up after three seasons, Jenn stated, “I worked really hard to get into this perfect, well-oiled machine and me having so much say in the content and how the show was and I just felt very in control. And then I left.”
Today, Todryk has turned her focus to parenting her kids and working as a full-time content creator. “I get to do my really fun thing, which is show up on social media, make my community and do whatever the heck I want and be weird as all get out,” she shared.
