About this listen

You are a queen to me, and I send nothing but love and reverence to you: Jenn, an entrepreneur in Oregon, is writing to herself in a rare moment of peace, before the garbage trucks and her abusive partner return and kick up the dust once more. Now, three years later, she shares how overcoming the challenges in her letter - as well as yoga and weed - allowed her to access her core strength and find a love “so good it’s stupid”. Plus, some fluffy friends make an appearance.
