Jen breaks things down into more simple action steps and makes them more digestible. Her gentle but firm approach will help keep you accountable to the goals and milestones you set together and make sure you're being intentional with your spending.

“Jen hosted a Budgeting session for a personal finance community I run at work and it was incredibly valuable. 140 women attended her talk "Personal Budgeting as a Tool to Actually Unlock Joy".

Throughout the talk, several folks spoke up to say they found the content useful and actionable. The comments speak for themselves: “My mind is blown right now..” to “Love these spending plan breakdowns”.

Jen not only dives into the tactical budgeting piece, but also the emotional/motivational side of personal finance. Her holistic approach is unique, engaging, and entertaining (rare for personal finance topics).

We definitely plan to invite her back for future sessions!”

“Jen’s guest lecture on business models at Pratt Institute was an excellent experience. Her approachable framework was easy to understand, and she emphasized the importance of values in shaping a business model and broke down all the essential elements that make up a successful business. Jen's real case studies provided great examples and made the talk engaging and thought-provoking.

Overall, I highly recommend Jen as a speaker for anyone interested in learning about business models and their impact on a company's success.”
