Experiences We Offer
Ready to feel fierce, fun and fantastic? Eager to reconnect to the joy you're losing in your busyness? Do you want to write a book or sparkle with more creative bliss? All of my experiences–1:1 mindful writing mentoring sessions, consultation calls, creativity workshops or short bursts of fun–use a combination of movement, meditation, musing and making. I'm woo-friendly, and will light a candle and pull an oracle card when we meet. :-)

Bio
JENN BALJKOMentor ∞ Author ∞ Editor ∞ Story Doula ∞ Creativity Kindler ∞ Long-Distance Walker ∞ Explorer of 50+ countries
Jenn, founder of Always On My Way, draws on nearly 30 years of journalism, writing and editing experience to help aspiring authors through the story-creation process. Most recently, Jenn guided a group of 11 women (and herself) through a nine-month writing and editing cycle; our collaborative book, Fierce Awakenings: Calling in Courage and Confidence to Walk Life’s Spiral Path, was published by Red Thread Publishing and earned Amazon bestseller kudos in multiple categories.
As a certified mindfulness meditation teacher and licensed facilitator of The Emotional Institute’s signature movement and embodiment experience the Emotional Tour, Jenn holds space for the deep emotional release and healing that comes when we lower the volume of our racing thoughts and connect to our body’s natural rhythms.
She counts the completion of a 3.5-year, 10,000-mile walk across two continents, from Bangkok to Barcelona, as one of her most significant achievements.

Favorite Quote
"A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked." - Anaïs Nin
Favorite Book
My childhood favorite, Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendack, remains an ongoing source of inspiration. There are many others...too many to list, too hard to choose only one.
