Putting yourself first




I'm currently on a sabbatical and it's been a real time of reflection. I've realised I was carrying a lot of stress and needed to practice self-love. It's vital if you're to live your best life.

I have been working with a lady who creates pamper packages and in the process I have developed a range of postcards for her with uplifting messages; a sample is shown above and it's challenged me to practice what I preach! 

If you would like some postcards focussed on wellbeing, perhaps to send to a friend who is struggling or to put on your fridge as a reminder to take time out, get in touch. I can create bespoke ones for any occasion or message.

2023 reflections

Well it's that time of year when we start to take stock as we head into the holiday season. I have to say, whilst 2023 has been an incredibly difficult year for me personally due to ill health, professionally and for my business, Penned by Jen, has been very successful!

I've written articles about AI, carpet cleaning in hotels, robotics and employer branding, to name just a few. So many projects have come my way through my existing contacts, and I'm extremely grateful to all of you for believing in and investing in my business. I ended the year with a market stall selling my poetry based gifts and had such a great time making connections.  So I end the year with full gratitude and excitement about what 2024 will bring. Merry Christmas everyone!

But not the hot flushes and night sweats - they are horrid, but I am focusing on mood disorders that are exacerbated or triggered by the perimenopausal hormone changes.  I'm talking brain fog, memory issues so much so you think you have dementia, anxiety leading to phobias, and the depression which is all-consuming. I want to share that I have all this every 3-4 weeks at the moment and have done now for nearly 5 years. Surely this will end soon? They say 10 years is possible. I've recently started following Louise Newson from Balance; she's a doctor with really great advice and support around menopause and all the problems it brings for women. As well as Davina Mcall, she and Dr Greenhouse are sending out a very clear message which resonates
