What does it take to be named a 2019 Woman of the Year by Chatelaine? Well, for Jenn Harper, it was years of 80+ hour workweeks and a lot of learning and personal development. Jenn is an Anishinaabe woman and the founder of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics – a made in Canada, cruelty-free make up brand that supports education funding for First Nations youth. In this conversation with Myrrhanda, Jenn shares about her journey with alcohol, losing her brother to suicide, and the tremendous effort required to build a successful social enterprise.

Despite trying not to care what others think, do you still find yourself struggling with you "should" and "shouldn't" do as a woman? Underneath it all, do you limit your life out of fears of what might happen if you were to really be authentic?    During my conversation with WOMENdon'tDOthat podcast and blog founder Myrrhanda Novak, we cover a lot of territory! We discuss what it means to be a modern, integrated woman and how live as a feminist against the backdrop of seemingly-conventional institutions, like Christianity. Also, Myrrhanda shares the experience of losing her 16 month-old son and the self-care that helped her through this immensely difficult period.    To stay in touch with Myrrhanda and and connect to the WOMENdon'tDOthat movement, you can visit her website
