24. Season 2 Intro - On Beginning Again & My Return to Podcasting

Hello dear listeners, happy 2025. I'm returning to my podcast after an 8-month hiatus during which time much has shifted for me internally and externally. In this episode, I share why I took a break, what's changed since we last chatted, and my intentions for this next season of Ampersand. Thank you all so much for your patience during this time in which I stepped away from this means of creative expression to explore other facets of my life. For those interested in joining me or continuing to accompany me in my imperfect, curious, and open-hearted journey, be sure to subscribe to my podcast on your preferred platform. I'm still taking a break from Instagram, Substack, and LinkedIn, so this is the best place to be notified when my subsequent episodes air. With warmth and care, Jenny

23. Season 1 Finale - Greatest Life Lessons & Advice from 18 People Who Inspire Me

Hello dear listeners. This episode wraps up season 1 of Ampersand, after which I’m taking a break to focus on other priorities and reflect on what I’d like to center in season 2.  To conclude this season, I invited several people who inspire me to record or write their responses to three questions:  1. What’s one of the greatest life lessons you’ve learned and can you share some of that story behind it? 2. What’s one of the biggest things you’ve let go of in your life, whether it’s a way of being, a place, people, etc? What prompted this decision, and how did it catalyze growth or transformation? 3. What advice would you give to a younger version of yourself? This episode compiles responses from 18 beautiful humans (myself included!). I hope you enjoy it. As always, it’s a pleasure and honor to share this content with you.  From my heart and soul to yours (and until next time), Jenny

I recorded this guided meditation on a day when I didn't sleep well the previous evening and felt called to record this to support folks who feel tired, exhausted, or low-energy for one reason or another. My intention with this meditation is to help you carve out the next 10 minutes for you and to give you permission to rest and receive. With restfulness and tenderness, Jenny

21. Meditation: Cultivating Self-Trust During Uncertainty & When You're Facing the Unknown with Jenny Chen

Join me in this guided meditation focused on supporting you in reconnecting with self-trust in periods of uncertainty where you may feel like you're in a void, you're sitting before the unknown or the great mystery, or you're in this liminal space between where you were and wherever you're meant to be next. I hope you enjoy this one. With love and care, Jenny
