Absolutely love Jeanna's work and the community she is building! I'm inspired on the regular by her wisdom around creativity, writing, and spirituality. Her answer for question #9 around wanting to be "more intuitive, kinder, more in tune with myself and with the people and the land around me" resonates so much. 🤍

Jeanna is one of my favorites here on Substack, and not because she appreciates the beauty of sumptuous loungewear. But it's not *not* because of that, either. She's insightful and compassionate and smart, smart, SMART. Which comes through in this interview beautifully.

Love this: “I just want to be a better person. Better meaning: more intuitive, kinder, more in tune with myself and with the people and the land around me.”

Enjoyed hearing from Jeanna very much. Especially loved the part about Keats! It's so spiritually tricky how much animals, no matter how long we have them, can effortlessly open our hearts just by being themselves and being in the moment, and even after they leave us, the heart stays opened.
