Confident midlife woman lying among daisies, symbolizing embracing change, freedom, and authentic self-expression

Hey there,

I’m Jenrie – short for Jennifer Marie, but if you know me, it’s just Jen.

Libra. Fall-obsessed. Powered by ADHD, with a touch of OCD that mostly shows up as a collection of half-finished lists and big ideas.

I’m clumsy, a little awkward, and no longer trying to pretend otherwise.

For a long time, I thought I needed to have everything figured out. Turns out, I just needed to stop playing small.

Now? I’m building a life that actually feels like me… one bold decision, one messy step, and one “what am I doing?” moment at a time.

It’s not perfect. It’s not polished.

But it’s honest. And honestly… that’s better.

Just Me BeinG…Me.


50-something mom of three amazing (fully grown, thank you very much) kids, chronic list-maker, and overthinker with the attention span that keeps life… interesting.

I walk into rooms and forget why I’m there… but somehow leave with a reorganized closet, a completely reimagined life plan, and three lists about it. Productive? Questionable. ADHD? Absolutely.

For 25+ years, my life revolved around raising my family, and I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.

But then the house got quiet. The calendar cleared. And I found myself standing there staring at the walls like… okay, now what?

Sound familiar?

I didn’t have some big, life-changing plan. I just knew something had to change.

So I did what any slightly overwhelmed, mildly unhinged, figuring-it-out woman would do…

I packed a bag, stepped out of my comfort zone, and started exploring the world around me.

And somewhere along the way… I started seeing myself, too.

Now, I’m chasing sunsets, collecting stories, and learning to trust the journey… even when it’s messy, awkward, and nothing like I planned.

Here, you’ll find budget-friendly travel tips, personal reflections, and brutally honest conversations about change, growth, and rediscovering yourself at any stage of life.

I’m still a work in progress learning, growing, overthinking, and occasionally spiraling… but like, in a cute, character-building kind of way.

And if you’ve ever found yourself staring at your life thinking, “okay… now what?”… yeah, you’re in the right place.

Kick off your shoes, grab your drink, and get comfortable.

We’re all about connection, courage, and starting over here. Because starting over isn’t a failure… it’s kind of our thing around here.
