PRAISE FOR CALM INSPIRATION
“Calm Inspiration, with its insights and lessons, has something to offer each of us as we pursue our personal odyssey of social-emotional growth and discovery. Through this heartfelt collection of entries, Jenny reveals her own journey of self-discovery and human connection. As I read, I was repeatedly inspired by Jenny’s honesty, frailty, optimism and personal growth. Her prose provoked, in me, a spectrum of emotions and connections and some ah ha moments, and most importantly, reminded me of many of my own life lessons that I hold dear.”
— Karen DeSpirito, PhD, School Psychologist
“Jenny has truly changed our family for the better. She’s incredibly relatable and has a way of helping us see that we’re not alone in dealing with big emotions. I’ve learned so much from her, and so have my two children. Now we are all much calmer and more equipped to handle the everyday stresses that come our way.”
— Sara Horvet, Parent
“Gathering from a well of lived experience, professional expertise, and humility, Jenny has the ability to not only share her stories but also to illuminate the path toward emotional resilience and self-awareness. This book is more than a personal narrative; it is a heartfelt exploration of the challenges we all face and the powerful lessons learned along the way.”
