We had the good fortune of connecting with Jennifer Freed PhD and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Assisting people in transformation and contribution. When people I work with become more fully expressed I feel JOYFUL.
My life and work has been dedicated to facilitating full self expression in service of community vitality. As an elder now I seek to uplift younger women
who are breaking ceilings and creating new rainbows. It is my deepest pleasure to enhance aliveness in myself and others, and to create meaningful and uplifting conversations.
Every day I start with Qi Gong, meditation, and writing love letters of gratitude to the divine of my knowing. This practice begins my day with a positive mindset and attunes me to the divine possibilities of each moment.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art form is writing, speaking and consulting. My new book A MAP TO YOUR SOUL was crafted out love and lessons. It took a ton of concentration, yet it also flowed easily. My biggest lesson is: do not believe in any limitations and do the work!
I have a new oracle deck coming out and a new relationship check-in tool. Both took ten years to get produced. Do the work. Be Joyful in the process. Be grateful to create.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Manor Bar Cocktails at Rosewood Miramar. Swim with the dolphins at Padaro Lane Beach.
Hike Romero Canyon.
Go to Tres Lune Restaurant.
Walk the coastline at low tide.
Montecito is my home and there is no other place that has quite the mountain light and the gleaming sea.  When people visit I enjoy seeing the grandeur and beauty through their eyes.  Walking the beach or hiking the mountains I feel immense fortune to be close to such glowing nature.
