About this listen

Centered around the touchstone stories Jen tells in her popular workshops, On Being Human is the story of how a starved person grew into the exuberant woman she was meant to be all along by battling the demons within and winning.

Jen did not intend to become a yoga teacher, but when she was given the opportunity to host her own retreats, she left her thirteen-year waitressing job and said "yes," despite crippling fears of her inexperience and her own potential. After years of feeling depressed, anxious, and hopeless, in a life that seemed to have no escape, she healed her own heart by caring for others. She has learned to fiercely listen despite being nearly deaf, to banish shame attached to a body mass index, and to rebuild a family after the debilitating loss of her father when she was eight. Through her journey, Jen conveys the experience most of us are missing in our lives: being heard and being told, "I got you".

Exuberant, triumphantly messy, and brave, On Being Human is a celebration of happiness and self-realization over darkness and doubt. Her complicated yet imperfectly perfect life path is an inspiration to live outside the box and to reject the all-too-common belief of "I am not enough". Jen will help listeners find, accept, and embrace their own vulnerability, bravery, and humanness.

On Being (beautifully) Human

Simply the most delicious book I have read this year. I loved Jennifer’s voice and her performance. I didn’t actually know it was a memoir until I started listening but listening to Jen’s story makes me realise how little I tell my own. This is such a beautiful, poetic book.

This is definitely one of my favourite books

This book is a masterpiece! A story of overcoming so much adversity in life. Jennifer’s narration is filled with so much emotion & character. It’s hard not to fall in love with her. Definitely worth reading or listening to.
