Part 2 of my conversation with my Soul Sister, Jennifer Brannen, where we discuss spiritual gifts, boxes we end up in, and outrageous spiritual journeying as a world-changing leader. Learn more about her perspective as we discuss:

• journeying inward
• spiritual work is a blessing but it's hard work
• the call to global citizenship
• the use of our gifts, no matter how great or small

This Week's Brain Break: Miss America Trivia
Tips & Tricks: The Neurological Value of Daydreaming

Guest Biography

Jennifer Brannen is an attorney by trade, but it wasn’t always the plan.  Jen began her spiritual journey in college when she suddenly hit her math wall. Confronted with her limitations, she turned from her dreams of pursuing aeronautical engineering to study Comparative Religion.
Through a series of fortunate events, she landed at a Ram Dass retreat with her mother during college. It changed her life. She began to explore the belief systems of the World with a reflective curiosity and inquisitiveness.  Her head heavy intellectual quest became a heart centered spiritual practice. Every moment became an opportunity for awareness, self-reflection, and growth. (Notably, as devoted to the spiritual quest as she was, the institution’s Religion department passed her over for departmental honors when she elected to pursue the experience of a three week pilgrimage through the Himalayas in Nepal rather than fine-tune her academic thesis.)

As her external path wound through managing a homeless shelter, parenting three fantastic children, practicing therapeutic massage and reiki, and finally becoming an estate and elder law attorney, Jen honed the art of listening to the Language of the Universe and her own Soul’s voice in the midst of so much cultural chatter. It is her sacred practice and, as she says, the journey of the Every Day Pilgrim.

Award-winning absintheure and outrageous entrepreneur, Absinthia Vermut, shares her thoughts on her rebellious journey of creating absinthe, taking the giant step to begin her own company, and living outrageously (as lovers of the "Green Fairy" do). Learn more about her perspective as we discuss:

• her first taste of absinthe at Burning Man
• how friends and family felt about her bootlegging for 10 years
• her favorite absinthe-based cocktail
• and roller skating and fire poi spinning!

Guest Biography
Absinthia Vermut is an entrepreneur with a passion for vintage spirits made with wormwood. Her first taste of absinthe was in 1996. She served her first bootleg bottles to friends a few months later on April Fool’s Day 1997, where she received the nickname, Absinthia. In 2013, she legally changed her name to Absinthia, trademarked it, and founded Absinthia’s Bottled Spirits, LLC, in order to bring her organic absinthe to market. Her last name, Vermut, German for wormwood, is on her birth certificate. This is pure coincidence, as she discovered this after being called Absinthia for years. 

Absinthia™ Organic Absinthe Blanche Superieure began to appear in bars, restaurants, and bottle shops in 2017 and won its first gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2018, officially changing Absinthia’s status from bootlegger to award winning absintheure!. Six awards and three years later, Absinthia Organic Absinthe is currently available for distribution in California, New York, and Louisiana, as well as on her e-commerce website, absinthia.com to almost all 50 states. A second product, Absinthe Verte Superieure, will be released March 5, 2021, National Absinthe Day. Absinthia has launched a podcast called “Absinthe: Education,” and is a member of the Women’s Cocktail Collective. 

Absinthia’s products are all made with organic ingredients, based on vintage recipes, and produced in California. Absinthia’s Bottled Spirits, LLC, is WBENC certified and 100% woman owned. 

Cofounder of Nickel Dime Cocktail Syrups, Absinthia lives in Oakland with her two daughters and their Havanese pup, Cohiba. A certified pyrotechnician and trained in the martial art Muay Thai, Absinthia earned her BFA from NYU and her MBA from Babson College.
