MEET THE AUTHOR

Hello, I’m Jen!

In 2013, I gave up a life of keeping up with the “Joneses” for a simple life in the country. I love sharing my journey with others- and I am all about keeping it real and authentic– no bullsh*t!

I’m on a mission to help overwhelmed + stressed AF women slow down and live a simple, better-balanced life full of meaning and gratitude.

Life is too short, don’t waste another day being too damn busy to enjoy it.
