This site is aimed at those who love to learn and desire to grow, both personally and/or professionally.

It’s for the bookworms & bibliophiles; the creatives & visionaries; the intuitives and introverted; and those who enjoy deep conversations instead of shallow small-talk.

Jenn is a free-spirited creative visionary and Life Purpose Coach who believes in doing things differently from the mainstream.

She’s obsessed with personality-typing, self-awareness, positive psychology, personal knowledge management (PKM), and –obviously– books!

Jenn lives in SW Ontario, Canada with her husband, son, and daughter.

Jenn quit posting to social media (Instagram) in June 2021, after hitting major burn-out. She then realized that she could do business without social media, and chose to return to her blogging roots, and focus on blogging + Pinterest.

Will she return to posting on social media? Maybe, at some point. But for the moment, no.

“Personal growth is the process of an individual becoming aware of the ‘self’ in its entirety, followed by taking steps to address the behaviors, values, actions, and habits that they wish to change. This process starts, first, with self-awareness, which allows one to see themselves honestly — and culminates in targeted changes to the self that deliver positive outcomes to that individual’s life.” (c/o Transcend Health)

Lifelong learning is the ‘ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons.’ (c/o Wikipedia)

“Self-awareness is our ability to observe and accurately identify our thoughts, feelings, and impulses, and determine whether they are grounded in reality or not.” (c/o Mark Manson)

A multi-passionate individual is someone with too many passions and interests to ever settle on just one thing. AKA: Generalist; Renaissance Person; Multipotentialite; Jack-of-All-Trades; Multi-Hyphenate.

She also reads:

• Christian Living (nonfiction about faith)
• Health & Fitness (mainly weight-loss / fitness / ADHD tips)

On the odd chance she does dip into fiction — very, very rarely!— Jenn opts for:

• Young Adult fantasy (think: “Twilight” saga)
• Romance / Mystery set in Regency-era England
• Historical Fiction (eg. authors Kate Quinn, Pam Jenoff, etc.)

Because Jenn’s taste in books is extremely eclectic, no, she doesn’t (generally) accept books for review.

She may, however, be open to considering, if you have a nonfiction book in one of her preferred genres, and you’re willing to send a complimentary copy of the physical book!
