Tending
Essays, notes, and nervous-system-first wisdom on being human — in life, leadership, relationships, and change.
These are reflections on regulation, grief, leadership, motherhood, love, rupture, repair, and the quiet work of coming home to yourself — again and again — in a world that rarely slows down enough to let you.
If you’ve ever felt capable and tired.
Strong and tender.Clear one moment and unsure the next.
You’ll recognize yourself here.
This isn’t a self-help manual.
It’s not a place for polished answers or five easy steps.
It’s a place for truth — written slowly, honestly, and with respect for the nervous system.
Sometimes that looks like an essay.
Sometimes a short reflection.
Sometimes a reminder you didn’t know you needed until you read it.
I write what I wish I’d had words for sooner.

I’m Jennifer.
I’m a somatic coach, breathwork facilitator, retreat leader, and guide for people navigating change — both personally and professionally.
I’ve spent years holding space for others through seasons of transition, grief, leadership, and growth.
This space is where I tell the truth about what that’s taught me — and what I’m still learning.
If you know me through my work, this is the part that lives underneath it.
If you’re new here, welcome.
If this resonates, you’re welcome here.
You can subscribe for free, read quietly, take what you need, and leave whenever it no longer fits.
No fixing.
No pressure.
Just words that tell the truth.
