Hi.
I’m Jena (rhymes with henna).

 

I’m an ambivert, a lover of trees and seasons, Jewish wisdom, fresh water swimming, etymological rabbit holes, babies, and bulldogs. All of my work, from writing prompts to online groups, from individual coaching to editing for emerging and experienced writers alike, is devoted to creating spaces where we get to write, share, and connect. Our society is so outcome-oriented and productivity-driven, norms that come at the expense of our spirits and creativity. Isn’t it time to reclaim both?

It takes intention to reclaim your creativity.

 

And this next part I believe with everything that I am: It is so very worthwhile.

But this isn’t work we can do alone. Showing up, telling our stories, and taking care of ourselves and each other through how we live and write — that’s why I’m here.

Thank you for being on the other side of these words — and for sharing your own. Have a look around and get in touch!
