About

I’m Jen.

Hi… Jen here.

I just keep it real and dig into soulful living (with a dose of humor and occasional sarcasm).

I’m an Indigenous mom, wife, blogger, and storyteller living in Denmark. I’m connected to nature, spirituality, and Nativeness.

Originally from Alaska, I carry my Native roots with a side of resilience. 

My mission? To inspire people to live with purpose, creativity, and grit, especially those who feel they’re constantly swimming against the current.

Why I Created This Space

Like many of you, I’ve experienced my share of twists, turns, and outright challenges. After moving abroad as an over-40ish mom, I faced the realities of life as a woman of color in a foreign country; I realized I needed a place to share my journey unfiltered. 

Through trial and error, I created this blog to explore everything from soulful living and creativity to the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, life abroad, spirituality, and, let’s be real, staying sane in an often chaotic changing world.

What You’ll Find Here

This isn’t just a blog; it’s a community, a place to connect, reflect, and maybe even laugh when things get messy. 

Here’s what I’m bringing to the table:

  • Mindful Living – Tips and insights on living a balanced, intentional life, even when life feels anything but balanced.
  • Creative Pursuits – From DIY projects to cooking and storytelling, creativity is a core part of who I am reconnecting to, and I believe it’s a path anyone can explore.
  • Spirituality – I’m all about connecting with our inner selves and each other. I share my spiritual journey and encourage others to dig deeper, trust their intuition, and find their own light.
  • Entrepreneurship – Real talk on starting a business, building a brand, or navigating social media without losing yourself in the process. Let’s make it sustainable, soulful, and maybe even fun.
  • Unfiltered Realness – I’ve spent years holding back in the professional world, but here? I’m saying what I mean and meaning what I say. You’ll find honesty, occasional rants, and a dose of humor that keeps it all (somewhat) grounded.

A Bit More About Me (In Case You’re Curious)

When I’m not blogging, I’m a podcaster at The Naetif Jen Podcast, a space where we talk about Indigenous advocacy, entrepreneurship, and spirituality, all wrapped in stories from my life. I’m also in the midst of learning AI, determined to bring something new to the table for our Native people and businesses looking to thrive in this modern world.

In a nutshell, I’m here to share what I’ve learned, laugh at what I haven’t, and create a community of like-minded souls who want to live and work in a way that feels authentic, purposeful, and (mostly) joyful. So, take a look around, make yourself at home, and let’s navigate this thing called life together—sarcasm included.

Here’s to showing up imperfectly.  🤙🏽

 

Welcome to my unconventional journey!
