As someone who lost my own parents over the last 4 years, and also experienced di7erent life
changes, it was a sincere pleasure to bring Kirsten Frey to the Living Room podcast as she truly
clarifies the often misunderstood landscape of grief.
Kirsten shares her personal journey and the transformative power of her coaching method, helping
her clients navigate the complex emotions that accompany loss. She debunks common myths
surrounding grief, discussing how societal expectations can hinder healing and what true recovery
looks like. I loved this conversation, and I feel a new sense of peace, and clarity after our chat.
Whether you're experiencing grief firsthand, or maybe you don’t even know if you are, more
specifically, how to navigate feelings that may be confusing. Or maybe you are supporting a loved
one, and you aren’t sure how to properly understand what they are going through, and how to help
them.
Join us for this conversation and discussion on the healing process and discover how to honour
your emotions, and your loved ones, while finding a path forward.

I feel. like a late bloomer! I’ve heard the buzz around Human Design for the last few years, but it was
only when it was mentioned three times in one day back in October, 2023, that I knew it was my
time to dive in!

My dear friend mentioned Jenny Lethbridge was the wise women to speak to on all things Human
Design, so after one conversation, my whole world shifted!
Jenny is not just a master teacher on Human Design, amongst other amazing gifts, she also breaks
it down so simply as it can be very overwhelming to put all of the pieces together.
And in that, I feel like the pieces of the puzzle to my whole life made more sense after our
transformational session together!

Jenny and I talk all things Human Design, the importance of following our own rhythms of who we
are, and her guidance can support us in saying no to things we are not meant to be doing so we can
open a space for the goodness that is not only our birthright, but our North Star!
This conversation is a gem you will not want to miss!
___________
About Jenny:
In 2019 Jenny stepped away from the corporate world to establish Enlightened Way, to take up her
role as a wayshower for those who hear the call and are inspired to make profound changes in their
life.

Throughout her extensive career as a HR professional, personal growth has been her passion and
area of interest. Nothing excites Jenny more than to support people in their quest to heal, grow,
expand their consciousness and reach for the stars.

Jenny brings to her programs and services, a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and experience gained
throughout her career and life generally. In addition, she has substantially broadened her
knowledge, skills and intuitive abilities by training in a number of spiritual practices and
transformational Quantum healing modalities. This enables her to bring a holistic approach to her
coaching, teaching and healing work.

Jan Courtin has had a deep passion for reading tarot for many years. During the lockdown, Jan
expanded her expertise by studying under Richard Knight, a world-renowned tarot reader.
From a young age, Jan was influenced by their father, who shared stories of encountering spirits and
communicating with them as if it were as normal as conversing with a bird on the windowsill. With a
background that includes French, Irish, and Algonquin Native Canadian heritage, her father’s
spiritual experiences opened her mind and heart to the unseen realm.
In addition to tarot, Jan practices transformational coaching, which complements her tarot work
perfectly.

After transitioning from a career in education as a superintendent for a large Canadian school
board, where coaching principals and vice principals was a gratifying aspect of the role, Jan found
that her background in facilitation and coaching naturally aligned with transformational coaching.
This experience has seamlessly integrated with her tarot practice, enriching her work and helping
clients achieve personal growth.
