• In Jen's words: "For me, it is indescribably fulfilling to help my mentees go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to feeling crystal clear and excited, not to mention confident, about the next steps to take in building their dream. I've done it myself many times in the journey of building and growing Nectar & Bloom, and it is my passion to empower you on your journey into your next dream or calling too."
