Podcast appearances and mentions of jennifer pastiloff

Our world is starved of people showing up as their true selves - with our awkwardness, playfulness and realness front and center. The fear of being too much, too loud and too messy drives a lot of people to shrink themselves, and walk around with an injured essence.   A powerful catalyst for realness is being in the presence of people who welcome all aspects of themselves, and live who they are out loud.   This doesn't just help us undo and unlearn the messaging that diminishes us. By osmosis, it allows who we truly are to surface effortlessly.   How do you invite your weirdest self to the table? What does embracing yourself completely feel like?   In this episode, we're excited to be joined by our very first guest - author, speaker and coach, Jennifer Pastilof. We have a delicious conversation about discovery, wonder and how to stop hiding ourselves in shame.   Surround yourself with people you want to be like, not people you want to be. -Jennifer Pastiloff   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -You've got everyone, but remember to also have you When we set the intention to serve others, how do we make sure we're not leaving ourselves behind?   -Allowing vs. being allowed  What's the difference between being allowed by others, and allowing ourselves?    -How to find your place of authenticity Who we spend time with allows us to be our true selves, how do we find those people who pull out what makes us special?    Guest Bio  Jennifer Pastiloff travels the world with her unique workshop “On Being Human,” a hybrid of yoga related movement, writing, sharing out loud, letting the snot fly, and the occasional dance party. Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild, calls Jen “a conduit of awakenings.” Jen has been featured on Good Morning America, New York Magazine, Health Magazine, CBS News and more for her unique style of teaching, which she has taught to thousands of women in sold-out workshops all over the world.

Dr. Dan speaks to Mom, Special Needs Parent, Advocate, and Coach Rachel Pastiloff. Rachel talks to Dr. Dan about parenting, family, and her road to becoming a Manifesting Mom. Rachel is mom to two sons (one with special needs) and her conversation with Dr. Dan is filled with wisdom, strength, and grace.Listening to Rachel tell her story is riveting, enlightening, powerful, and, at times, painful – listeners will learn from this beautiful, courageous episode about life, love, challenges, grit, honesty, acceptance, grief, and so much more.Rachel Pastiloff tells Dr. Dan how she learned to embrace her parenting journey – specifically the experience of discussing (and admitting) that special needs parenting is hard. Rachel discusses her wonderful son (he has a dual diagnosis of Prader Willi Syndrome and autism), her special needs family/community, her typical son's experience, and how so much pressure falls unfairly on women/moms. By speaking her truth out loud to her sister (yes, her sister is recent guest Jennifer Pastiloff!)Rachel made space for embracing, healing, and loving. Rachel passionately shares how self-care is essential to all parents, how families must support the siblings of special needs children (a topic that is rarely discussed), and the reality that not all families live perfect lives despite what we see online. Rachel Pastiloff is a native of Philadelphia/South Jersey. Rachel is a mother of two boys. In 2009 Rachel's oldest was diagnosed with a rare incurable genetic disorder called Prader Willi Syndrome. The following year her son was diagnosed again with Autism. Both of these events would help shift the direction of Rachel's life. She began her path with health and wellness to create a better life for her family. It then became her passion. Rachel became a certified yoga teacher in 2012 and is a graduate of The Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a Health and Wellness Coach. Rachel is also the founder of A Manifesting Mom.

Today on the show, I'm thrilled to share again my chat with Jennifer Pastiloff in this “best of” conversation. Jen was the very first guest we had here on this podcast. Talking with her was everything I had hoped for: she was honest, authentic, funny, insightful, and joyful. I just loved it. Jen is the best-selling author of “On Being Human,” and she is also a public speaker, coach, retreat leader, yoga teacher, and is the creator of the Shame Loss movement. You'll hear how a house-sitting experience gave Jen the permission to dream of owning her own home after living in her apartment for so long. How people on social media tried to shame her about that same apartment (but don't worry – Jen didn't allow that!); and how she finally manifested her beautiful place in Ojai, California. As she says, everything comes at the right time, including nice kitchen. Please enjoy this episode. It's one of my favorites.LEARN MORE ABOUT JENNIFER PASTILOFF Website: JenniferPastiloff.comInstagram: @jenpastiloffOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEBlack Fairy Godmother Simone GordonPodcast host and author Elise LoehnenTherapist and author Lori GottliebHunker's Editor in Chief Eve EpsteinCONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.This week Katherine chats to Jennifer Pastiloff, a speaker, teacher, and author of ‘On Being Human'.In a warm and honest chat with Katherine, Jennifer perfectly lays the table for where she finds herself at this point in time, as a yoga instructor, public speaker and best selling author. With an attitude of ‘I Got You' - extended to a community which she has cultivated with care over time - she has learned to transform her own feelings of shame towards her deafness, and earlier moments of trauma in her life. It's an episode which offers effective solutions within, and inspiring thoughts on behaviours, being misunderstood, and ‘silencing the inner asshole', as well as overlaps with deafness and autism, and being a founder of a movement known as ‘Shame Loss'.JENNIFER LINKSMain siteTwitterInstagramJennifer's PodcastOn Being HumanKATHERINE LINKSPatreonHomepageTwitterInstagramThe Wintering SessionsKatherine's writing class See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Brought up in a deeply observant Jewish Orthodox household with a reverence for her family's history, Shelly Tygielski embraced the traditions, teachings, and practices of her faith, even spending summers in Jerusalem with family. Heading to college, then grad school, she pursued her masters in international affairs, then began building a powerhouse career in business, along with a family. But, along the way, she found herself questioning the rules and assumptions by which she lived, and the more she did, the more the walls began to come tumbling down. At 27, diagnosed with a chronic disease that left her temporarily blind, she knew a different narrative needed to be set in motion. She began to embrace her then years-long exploration of Eastern traditions and practices, growing largely out of Tibetan Buddhism, and started the process of reclaiming and reimagining her life. A process that would eventually lead her away from a 20-year career at the highest levels of business and into the world of advocacy and self-care. Though, as you'll learn, advocacy and a deep exploration of the heart and mind, have always been a part of her DNA. Shelly began teaching meditation to a few friends on the beach, and each time, more people started showing up, until her Sunday meditation on the beach grew into a community of more than 15,000 people that call themselves The Sand Tribe. Her promise - no barrier to entry, all are welcome. Her fierce devotion to elevating others led her to post a simple form online during March of 2020, connecting those in need with those who wanted to help. It went viral, becoming a global mutual aid movement called the Pandemic of Love that has now generated more than $60-million in mutual aid, matched over 2-million people, and served as a bridge to see the humanity in others at a time it's needed more than ever. She shared much of this journey in her powerful new book, Sit Down to Rise Up: How Radical Self-Care Can Change the World.You can find Shelly at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode:You'll also love the conversations we had with Jennifer Pastiloff about leading with love and compassion.My new book Sparked!Check out our offerings & partners: AquaTru: Countertop reverse osmosis water purifier that's certified to create bottled-quality water.

Hooray!! The gang is back together! Even though DeDe, Jamie and Chelsea are smack dab in the middle of Summer Break, the ladies wanted to do a quick check-in with the Tribe they miss so very much. And the best part of all, they are finally all in the studio together, while maintaining their distance of course.  On this episode, the ladies each share something that has inspired/comforted them recently.

Jen is a teacher, leader and author of the amazingly beautiful book "On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard." Jen's story of recovering from disordered eating and depression helps women find, accept, and embrace their own vulnerability, bravery, and humanness. Her work is a celebration of happiness and self-realization over darkness and doubt and an inspiration to live outside the box and to reject the all-too-common belief of “I am not enough.”To learn more about Jen Pastioff: https://www.jenniferpastiloff.com/To learn more about Erin Wickersham: https://erinwickersham.com/To visit the SHE RECOVERS website, click here.SHE RECOVERS Facebook Page, click here.SHE RECOVERS Instagram Page, click here.

First Draft Episode #227: Courtenay Hameister Courtenay Hameister, debut author of memoir Okay Fine Whatever: The Year I Went From Being Afraid of Everything to Only Being Afraid of Most Things, and former host, co-producer and head writer of Live Wire Radio. Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode Books by Beverly Cleary (author of Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Beezus and Ramona, and The Mouse and the Motorcycle) and and Judy Blume (author of Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, Forever, and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing) and The Crystal Cave series by Mary Stewart were some of Courtenay’s favorites growing up Create More, Fear Less is an organization in Portland Courtenay volunteers with that works with anxious kids While Courtenay went to New York University, she had the chance to work with legendary comedy group The State. The State — made up of Kevin Allison, Michael Ian Black, Robert Ben Garant, Todd Holoubek, Michael Patrick Jann, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Thomas Lennon, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Michael Showalter, and David Wain — was formed in 1998 and had a self-titled comedy sketch show on MTV from 1992-1995. You can learn more about the history of the group in The Union of the State by Corey Stulce. Members of The State went on to create Reno 911, which is coming back! “The 7,000 Dollar Pyramid,” is one of The State’s sketches that Courtenay remembers Robert Ben Garant writing Writing Movies For Fun and Profit: How We Made a Billion Dollars at the Box Office, and You Can, Too! by former State members and co-writers Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant The Joan Didion quote Courtenay paraphrases is, “I don't know what I think until I write it down.” Some of Courtenay’s favorite guests from her many years of hosting Live Wire include: comedian, storyteller, director and actor Mike Birbiglia, who is best known for Sleepwalk With Me, which was also a comedy special and a New York Times bestselling book, Sleepwalk with Me and Other Painfully True Stories, and his new comedy special, The New One is also going to be a book, coming out in May 20202, The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad; Carrie Brownstein, guitarist with Sleater-Kinney (who have a new CD in 2019, The Center Won’t Hold), co-creator and writer of TV show Portlandia, and author of memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl; director Todd Haynes (who has directed Velvet Goldmine, Far From Heaven, and this year’s Dark Waters; Cheryl Strayed, author of Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar and memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail; and David Rakoff, humorist and author of Fraud: Essays, Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never- Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems Courtenay’s friend Daniel H. Wilson wrote Robopocalypse: A Novel (which was optioned by Steven Spielberg, but after some delays has now been thrown over to Michael Bay) was the one who introduced Courtenay to his agent, Laurie Fox, who is an author in her own right, of The Lost Girls: A Novel and My Sister From the Black Lagoon: A Novel of My Life. Jean Garnett at Little, Brown was Courtenay’s editor Courtenay super recommends Sleepwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer (and, oh my god, would you look at that, he also has a TED talk!) The Oprah and James Frey controversy which exploded over his memoir, A Million Little Pieces, is an inevitable reference point for a conversation about what “truth” means in the memoir category Courtenay’s recommendation for David Carr’s memoir, Night of the Gun: A Reporter Investigates the Darkest Story of His Life. His Own, was so persuasive that I bought the audiobook that night! I admit to being a complete comedy nerd, and having recently mightily enjoyed John Hodgman’s collection of personal essays, Medallion Status: True Stories From Secret Rooms. Jennifer Pastiloff (author of On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard) and Lidia Yuknavitch (author of memoir The Chronology of Water and Verge: Stories, out Feb. 4, 2020!) teach a class called “Writing and the Body” that incorporates yoga and writing to enrich personal stories. Humor writer Steve Almond, author of Bad Stories: What Just Happened to Our Country? and William Stoner and the Battle For the Inner Life: Bookmarked. Writers Samantha Irby (author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life: Essays, Meaty: Essays and omg she has a new one coming out this year, Wow, No Thank You!) and Jenny Lawson, aka The Blogess (author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir and Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things), were bloggers before they had books, and they indicate the kind of conversational writing style that Courtenay tends to naturally align with in her writing Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2009 TED Talk, “Your Elusive Creative Genius” Dan Harris, author of 10% Happier Revised Edition: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story, and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking and her TED talk on the subject of introverts Courtenay admires Michael Ian Black’s evolution as a writer. Especially significant to her was his honesty in the memoir Navel Gazing: True Stories of Bodies, Mostly Mine (But Also My Mom’s, Which I Know Sounds Weird). His newest book, A Better Man, tackles toxic masculinity in the form of letters to his son as he goes off to college. I have always dreamt of being able to link to an article about Jeff Bezos’s dick pics (just kidding but here we go): this incident was wild - The National Enquirer allegedly tried to blackmail Jeff Bezos, threatening to release intimate pictures of him unless he paid up. Instead, Bezos released the pics himself and told them to screw off. It was wild. It was great. That incident calls to mind So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson “To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This,” the Modern Love essay by Mandy Len Catron, references Dr. Arthur Aron’s study, which included 36 questions to generate intimacy. (And hey, look at that, Mandy has TED talks about love stories, too!) I want to hear from you! Have a question about writing or creativity for Sarah Enni or her guests to answer?

Jennifer Pastiloff travels the world with her unique workshop On Being Human which now also a self-help memoir published by Penguin Random House. Her workshops are a hybrid of yoga-related movement, writing, sharing aloud, tears, and the occasional dance party. She has been featured on Good Morning America, New York Magazine, Health Magazine, CBS News, and others for her unique style of teaching. She has taught thousands of women in sold-out workshops all over the world and recently lead a sold-out workshop with previous Ctrl Alt Delete guest Elizabeth Gilbert in Philadelphia. She is also the founder of the online magazine The Manifest Station and @nobullshitmotherhood on Instagram. Jen and I found each other somehow on Instagram and I knew this would be a really interesting and honest conversation because the way Jen lives her life is fascinating and she makes her own rules which I love. I hope you enjoy this conversation. Please do rate and review! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this week’s inspiring episode, Brooke and Grant are joined by Jen Pastiloff, author of On Being Human, who shares the story of her leap of faith that was more like a push, the reason why “I got you” and “It’s gonna be okay” are her two favorite sets of words, and why she never wants to be seen as a guru. Join us for a conversation about listening, showing up for other people, and pursuing your dreams even when it’s terrifying and you’re not sure where you’re going to land.

Jennifer Pastiloff spent the first part of her life thinking she was a bad person because of something she told her father before he died when she was just eight. She moved in and out of depression and tried to control what happened in her life with her eating. At the same time, without letting anyone know, she was also losing her hearing. Through her yoga practice and writing she began to face these challenges, redefine her own life and explore what it means to be human. She shared her experiences in a real and vulnerable way publicly on Facebook and in her online magazine The Manifest Station. She began teaching and leading retreats called On Being Human. And she has written a book, also called, On Being Human in which she shares her own triumphantly messy story. In this interview, we talk about: - How to quiet our Inner Asshole - What are the bullshit stories we tell ourselves and how we rewrite them - How our bodies carry our stories - What is listening hard - How we let go of what no longer serves us so we can be where we actually want to be

when jen was eight her father died. the last words she said to him were “I hate you.” those words would haunt her well into adulthood as she found herself dropping out of NYU as an english major, working as a waitress for 14 years while “pursuing” acting and dead-end relationships, and falling deeper into depression.the day she began taking anti-depressants was the day she began finding her way home.she became a yoga teacher and started writing what was true. sharing all of what it means to be human: the messy, the hard, the beautiful, the magical. no shame. no apologies. just “real fucking life.”today jen is the national bestselling author of "On Being Human: a memoir of waking up, living real, and listening hard." she leads sold-out yoga-related movement and writing retreats around the world, and is the founder of the online magazine The Manifest-Station. jen has been featured on Good Morning America, New York magazine, Health magazine, CBS news, and more. she has a massive online following and is loved the world over for her raw and real telling of what it means to be human.some things we talk about:how jen rebuilt her entire life from depressed and unhappy to wildly successful and happier (most of the time) how much to share, how to bear witness, and how to just be on making the thing that is true to you and designing a life, and business, around who you are on busting through shame, giving yourself a fucking medal, and being free 

Learn how to seek out unexpected beauty, how to listen fiercely and how to live a life full of wild happiness with this extraordinary book. Jen did not intend to become a yoga teacher, but when she was given the opportunity to host her own retreats, she left her thirteen-year waitressing job and said "yes," despite crippling fears of her inexperience and her own potential. After years of feeling depressed, anxious, and hopeless, in a life that seemed to have no escape, she healed her own heart by caring for others. She has learned to fiercely listen despite being nearly deaf, to banish shame attached to a body mass index, and to rebuild a family after the debilitating loss of her father when she was eight. Through her journey, Jen conveys the experience most of us are missing in our lives: being heard and being told, "I got you."

What do you say to a friend or family member that is hurting? Whether it be from illness, grief, miscarriage, infertility or any of the other ups and downs we can come across in life, there are moments when we just don’t quite have the words to say to comfort our loved ones. Today I am speaking with Emily McDowell, a writer, illustrator, speaker and teacher who after overcoming cancer and losing a friend to cancer a short time later, decided to bring a product to market that would help both the person on the giving and receiving end. Emily created stationery products that would help express what people are feeling but don’t know how to put into words. We talk about her business and why she merged with another company. She also shares what she does when she is in a creative rut and why she takes the time to focus on self-care.    What’s in this episode: Emily’s experience of going to a breath work camp The main takeaways that Emily took from her experience Recognizing that you’re not responsible for other people’s happiness Listening to our bodies when they tell us to stop Navigating through her illness and feeling disconnected from others How cancer gave Emily a unique perspective of the world Feeling like sympathy cards didn’t express what she wanted to say Why she decided to get back into journaling What Emily does when she’s stuck in a creative rut Deciding to merge with another company Being reactive rather than proactive in her business Creating meaningful work  Taking the time to focus on self-care Emily’s advice on doing what you dream about  Being mindful and keeping what makes life beautiful to her a priority   About Emily: Emily McDowell is a writer, illustrator, speaker, teacher, and entrepreneur who is fiercely committed to not doing all of those things at the same time. After spending a decade working in advertising, she founded Emily McDowell Studio in January 2013. In January of 2019, Emily McDowell Studio officially changed names to Emily McDowell & Friends to reflect their expansion into partnerships with other artists and writers.   Emily’s work has been featured by The New York Times, Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, BBC News, and NPR's All Things Considered, among many others, and in 2015, she was named one of Slate's 10 Designers Who Are Changing the World. Her first book, There Is No Good Card For This: What To Say and Do When Life Gets Scary, Awful, and Unfair To People You Love, co-authored with Dr. Kelsey Crowe, was released on January 2017.   Emily currently serves as an equity partner and SVP of strategy at the Who’s There Group, while remaining creative director/founder of Emily McDowell & Friends. She lives in Los Angeles with her family and various half-dead plants.   Connect with Emily: Website | Personal Instagram | Business Instagram   Links: Knock Knock On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard by Jennifer Pastiloff   I would love to hear from you!

Today’s conversation is really about finding balance, protecting your needs, being self-serving, and focusing on lifting yourself up. Because, when you help yourself first, you help others just by being. When you really understand what being “selfish” means you create an environment that elevates not only you but everyone around you — your friends and family.   Talking about balance is easy, but understanding yourself, setting strong boundaries, and really putting all of this into practice can be challenging. Which is why we have special guest Lauren Kleinman joining us today! Lauren is a Marketing and Growth Consultant for direct-to-consumer, impact-driven health and wellness companies. She runs her own company, Lauren Kleinman Consultancy, and is extremely passionate about helping emerging, innovative brands tackle big challenges.   Join us as we get deep and talk about the importance of honoring your space first, and others second; creating a space of self-care so you are motivated by love and others around you (and vice-versa); how to set boundaries; and work with intention. Lauren also tells us all about her journey from working for a company to starting her own, how she found her work/life balance, how she has worked through conflict, and highlights some of the best parts of working for yourself!   Topics Discussed: [:37] Discussing this month’s theme, framily.

On this month’s theme of adventure, we’ll be taking a look at lifestyles! Specifically, following your intuition — you know, that little voice inside your head telling you what you probably should do, but you don’t entirely know whether to trust it or not. It’s important to remember that adventure can mean traveling and going on these incredible trips… but it also can happen between your own two ears.   Our guest today (and good friend), Jennifer Pastiloff, has definitely followed this little voice of hers! She travels the world, guiding people through her unique hybrid of yoga-related movement, helping them manifest their dreams and embrace their imperfections! When she’s not traveling the world, she’s spending time with her husband and son, in their home in Los Angeles. She has also started a really cool Instagram called, @NoBullshitMotherhood, all about raw parenting and the honest-to-god sh*t show it can sometimes be. And her recently published book, On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard, shares the story of her life and how she grew into the exuberant woman she was meant to be all along by battling the demons within and winning.   Today you’re in for a real treat with Jennifer! We talk about so many different aspects — from pain and shadows to growth and change. The many turns in her life have been incredibly unexpected, but also incredibly profound and valuable. She shares about all that life has thrown at her, how she has adapted to the unexpected, how her career has developed and unfolded, and how to pay attention to the good sh*t and appreciate your wins.   In this conversation, we love how she paralleled the way that we are vulnerable in our relationship with how she is vulnerable in her own struggles with her anxiety, depression, and hearing loss. We hope you listen to today’s episode and ask yourself the same questions she asked herself in her biggest times of growth: In what ways are you blocking yourself from opportunity and growth? And what are the things that can actually make you really happy even if they don’t fit the regular script that society hands us?   Topics Discussed: [:35] About today’s episode with our good friend, Jennifer Pastiloff. [:58] Sharing our review of the week! [1:59] Sophie shares a topical quote on this topic. [5:00] More about today’s guest, Jennifer Pastiloff.

[14:14] Jennifer talks about her first unexpected moment: having a child later in life. [18:00] Jennifer speaks about her journey to getting to the point where she was building her career at 35. [21:20] Before finding her career, Jennifer reflects on the programming that prevented her from changing her life. [27:57] What Jennifer discovered when she became a yoga teacher. [30:40] When did Jennifer begin to take yoga beyond the asana practice into ‘manifestation yoga’? [38:00] Jennifer’s experience with having a child later in life. [44:09] The importance of flexibility in your life and adventures! [50:46] How Jennifer is similarly aligned with our mission of radical transparency. [52:42] Why we’re all kind of assholes sometimes! [56:37] Pay attention to the good sh*t and appreciate your wins. [59:04] What has been Jennifer’s proudest moment? [1:02:57] What has been the best advice Jennifer has ever received? [1:03:30] What has been one of Jennifer’s most difficult moments to-date?

A few weeks before Do Less was going to launch, I decided to follow my intuition and reach out to a few women who I was loosely connected with on Instagram to see if they'd be open to receiving a copy. There wasn't any real strategy behind who I reached out to. I just trusted that if someone popped up in my feed and I felt called to send them a DM that I should. So I did. One of these women responded immediately, and we got into an instant back-and-forth banter that made me smile and felt like I was texting a lifelong girlfriend. It turned out she lived in LA. I was headed to LA during launch week. She asked if I was doing an event. I said no...but then I paused and thought, "Maybe?" She offered to do an "in conversation" (a phrase I've seen circulating in the literary world - a world I'm not part of - that means two people talk on stage at an event) to sell books. This woman I don't know is offering to take time out of her schedule as a mother of a toddler on the eve of her first book being published to help me spread the word about my book. Wow. Sparked by the generosity of this big-hearted new friend, my LA book launch was born. Had it not been for her message, I never would have gotten to throw the party that I secretly really wanted to throw but didn't think I had the bandwidth, energy, or budget to make happen. This angel of a woman is Jennifer Pastiloff, and she is not only beautifully generous of spirit and freaking hysterical, she's a damn good writer and is honest AF about her life. It's a stunning combination. Jen worked as a server for 15 years and then created her own career teaching On Being Human workshops around the world. Her story is so inspiring, and I'm so excited to be sharing it with you. This week we have Jen on The Kate & Mike Show sharing about her incredible debut memoir, On Being Human (I lapped it right up and laughed and cried out loud on many airplanes on book tour as I read it) as well as: • Her tips for getting over social anxiety and truly connecting with strangers (this was based on my questions because, believe it or not, I'm so scared to talk to strangers) • How she programs her workshops and how doing less has made them even more powerful • The super innovative way she activated a big group of people to spread the word about her book • Why she doesn't read her reviews • The thing she started doing that attracted new customers in flocks • How she cultivates a feeling of enoughness that makes her one of the most generous people I know It was a yummy conversation and when we ended the Zoom call, Mike and I both looked at each other and said, "I love her." You will too. You can get your own copy of Do Less and still receive incredible bonuses at http://katenorthrup.com/book!

Jennifer Pastiloff (https://www.jenniferpastiloff.com/) is the author of On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, And Listening Hard (https://amzn.to/2LA2aWu). She travels the world, leading On Being Human workshops that integrate movement, writing, sharing aloud and belonging to create a space where shame, hiding and isolation exit and grace, beauty and revelation, along with a whole lot of laughing and dancing enter. Jen is also the founder of the online magazine The Manifest-Station. All of this is informed by her own personal journey, one that had her believing she was a bad person from the time she was a child, and living with depression and anxiety while slowly losing her hearing. She kept all of this secret until a moment of awakening that set her on a profoundly different, more open, accepting and joyful path and led her to eventually step into her role as a writer, teacher and leader.Check out our offerings & partners: Sleep Number: You’ll only find Sleep Number at any of the 575 Sleep Number stores nationwide.

Jennifer Pastiloff shares the transformative experiences and challenges that have shaped her into the resilient, passionate woman she is today, including losing her father at an early age, battling an eating disorder and depression, reluctantly accepting her hearing loss, discovering the healing power of yoga, writing, and human connection, and learning to believe in herself and her ability to help others. She explores how thirteen years of waitressing taught her to seek out unexpected beauty, how hearing loss taught her to listen fiercely, how being vulnerable allowed her to find love, and how imperfections can lead to a life full of wild happiness. Through her journey, Pastiloff conveys a powerful experience that most of us are missing in our lives: being heard and being told “I got you,” a sentiment that now lies at the core of her work. Her bold yet relatable ideas have won her a loyal social media following and thousands of devotees who often travel across the globe to attend her workshops and retreats.Exuberant, beautifully written, and extraordinarily brave, On Being Human is a celebration of happiness and self-realization over darkness and doubt.

Jennifer Pastiloff’s debut memoir, On Being Human, is set to release on June 4th, and it’s already getting massively well-deserved buzz. Centered around the touchstone stories Jen tells in her popular workshops, On Being Human is the story of how a starved person grew into the exuberant woman she was meant to be all along by battling the demons within and winning. It’s about how years of waitressing taught her to seek out unexpected beauty, how deafness taught her to listen fiercely, how being vulnerable allowed her to find love, and how imperfections can lead to a life full of wild happiness. The world is about to watch her explode. And so, before they do, I wanted to give you all a chance to meet her, so you too can say you knew her “way back when.” In this episode we talk about navigating trauma and grief (especially from unexpected death), feeling worth and building confidence when all you feel is worthless, and shifting from a mindset of expecting to be disappointed to expecting to be delighted. ~~~~~~~~~ SHOW NOTES: • To preorder On Being Human, click here. • Follow Jen on: Instagram Facebook Twitter and at @NoBullshitMotherhood and @GPowerYouAreEnough Website • Lidia Yuknivitch • Attend a retreat  • Sign up for The (Good) Word, our monthly email digest • Check out She’s The First, this season’s spotlight • Let’s be friends on Instagram!   ~~~~~~~~~ Like this episode?
