Meet The Author

Hi, I'm Jenna! After planting deep journalistic roots and serving as a marketing leader for more than a decade, I've launched 10+ newsletters to hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Creating and curating the most thoughtful content to earn a spot in your over-crowded inbox is not something I take lightly; you can expect the same passion one might unleash when personally presenting a gift to Beyoncé.

As a new mom, I was stunned by the vast amount of skills and information we learn every day just to survive—and am doubly impressed by our innate ability to do so (often one-handed). From pregnancy to birth to feeding and beyond, I'm endlessly in awe of what women accomplish, and am eager to support them on the hard days as much as the happy times. Ultimately, I'm just trying to create a positive little corner of the internet where moms can feel less alone. Everyone deserves a little more magic on Monday morning!

Random Tidbits:

• I grew up in Ohio (Go Bucks!), spent several years in Texas, and have lived in countless California beach towns (where my family and I reside today)

• An aspiring animal whisperer, I'm both a cat person and a dog person (we do exist!)

• My "free" time is generally spent listening to the Armchair Expert podcast, making Spotify playlists, hopping on the Peloton, reading memoirs, perusing the Vogue + Architectural Digest YouTube channels, attempting to find the world's best chocolate chip cookie, and cheering on Team Oxford Comma.

I can't wait to connect with you!
