💙 About Jen

💙I’m Jen Hayes — a storyteller, photographer, and wellness-minded human who believes healing is often quiet, brave, and unglamorous.

I write for people who want truth without theatrics — and hope without fluff.

What Grounds Me

  • Family: my anchor and greatest gift.

  • Nature: hiking trails, mountain air, and the quiet wisdom of wild places.

  • Rescue Work: giving voice and love to misunderstood pitbulls.

  • Storytelling: opening doors of imagination through words and play.
