Meet Dr. Zen Jenn

I’m Dr. Zen Jenn — Reinvention Strategist.

In March, a group photo was taken in Bali. Later, when I saw myself in it, I caught my breath— not in admiration, but in pain. I had spent years avoiding the camera because I hated what I saw: the weight of burnout, body shame, wine-and-cheese coping, perfectionism, and decades of putting everyone else first.

By July, my “after” photos told a radically different story. This time, I was the one who chose to be seen. I had begun shedding not just pounds, but the stories and patterns that kept me stuck. When it came time to capture this part of my journey through photos, I was anxious, uncomfortable, even panicked — but I did it anyway. Around my neck, I wore a necklace I had bought in Bali. It carried a single word: Brave.

That necklace became my reminder that reinvention isn’t about perfection. It’s about courage — the courage to finally be visible in your own life. The truth is: my life has been messy, painful, joyful, scary, and deeply human. I’ve survived bulimia, breast cancer, divorce, PTSD, loss, and the endless loop of trying to “fix” myself instead of finally being myself. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: midlife isn’t a crisis— it’s an invitation.

That’s why I created DrZenJenn.

I help women in midlife take all the chaos — the burnout, the body battles, the empty-nesting, the “Is this all there is?” moments — and turn it into clarity, courage, and unapologetic joy. Reinvention isn’t about perfection; it’s about finally living life on your own terms.

Zen life. Bold vibes. Real change.

It’s not just a tagline. It’s the way I live — and the way I’ll help you step into your bold new chapter.
