Jen shares how she conquered the transitions from high-level collegiate athletics to landing herself in a yoga room 5 years ago where she learned that life can be more about collaboration and following her intuition and less about competition and pushing herself to unhealthy measures. She is now a yoga instructor, Reiki Master, visual & written storyteller ( @theselfstories) and entrepreneur who co-owns a CBD & wellness business, People Grow Together, LLC with the mission to provide the highest quality products (straight from their hemp crop!) at a price that makes sense to the communities they serve.
Jen and I first connected through common friends on social media, then I attended one of her online yoga class. This interview allowed me an opportunity to get to know her more, plus she shared beneficial yoga moves for runners and ended with one of my favorite answers to "What does Chasing Life mean to you?". I hope you enjoy this conversation
Memorable quotes:
"Competition was basketball, collaboration is yoga"
"Our number one job is to serve ourselves, then we will be able to serve others"
"Yoga can help equalize the left and right sides of your body"
"The right decision is always the one that feels right to me, you have this intuition, lets use it"
