I am so excited for my guest today, Jenn Smith. Jenn and I met in a very interesting way. Jenn was listening to the Brave Women at Work Podcast, especially the show with Heather Eck. This show was just rebroadcast as the best of 2024 episode on 12/26/2024. If you haven’t listened to that one, you must go back and check it out!

Jenn was intrigued by my conversation with Heather, an artist with the amazing story of owning her gift of synesthesia, or the mixing of the senses. Heather is a former HR professional who bravely left the corporate world to pursue her work as an artist and specifically to own her ability to heal with color. She intuitively sees people as colors and creates prescriptive Spirit Portraits to help her clients. My portrait is magenta, gold, and violet, and is so beautiful! 

After the podcast, Jenn got her own spirit portrait and asked to connect with me via Heather. And the rest is history!

During my conversation with Jenn, we chatted about:

1. What does flourishing in your career mean?
2. What are the signs you need a career change, whether that it inside or outside your organization?
3. What is HEART centered career planning? What does H.E.A.R.T. stand for?
4. What is the Gathering Ground?
5. What about the Greenhouse? What is that?
6. What is five minutes to flourish? 
7. Jen tells us all about her treehouse and why she has themed her business with nature or growth terminology.
