Jenny Mahan is a registered nurse and certified health and wellness coach, owner of Pine Creek Wellness, and a soap maker. Jenny works with people to help them reclaim their health in a way that invites them to reconnect with what delights and nourishes them. She lives on a farm in far northern Wisconsin and she is truly a multipassionate person - she’s also a singer and songwriter, author, jogger, and hammocker. It’s really a pleasure to have her on the podcast this week.

In this episode, Jenny Mahan and I talk about:

• Her earliest sparks of joy as a child: music, being outdoors, and making things with her hands
• The role Outdoor Education played in her life
• Ecological design, and how she has looked for a reliable way to support her family
• The nurturing and comforting properties of plants and animals
• Therapeutic Communication and being a home care nurse
• What motivates people to make changes in their health
• How to plan for the challenges of life
• How to jump start your joy: by keeping what really matters in mind and by “letting it rip,” or giving it your all
