Relating:
A Weekly Newsletter by Jen
Welcome to Relating - Weekly thoughts from me to you with insight, tools, and encouragement for building connected, lasting relationships.
Every time I sit down to write a newsletter, I imagine I’m talking to a friend over coffee, sharing something I’ve been thinking about, learning, or wrestling with in my own life. These thoughts are my honest reflections and meant to support and encourage you, wherever you are in your relationships.
If you miss a newsletter, or just want to revisit something that stuck with you, you’ll find all the past editions here. My hope is that you leave feeling a little more seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not alone.
