the story behind journey collective
A GLIMPSE INTO MY WORLD
When I'm not empowering couples to thrive, you'll often find me on thrilling adventures around the world. Recently, my family and I explored the enchanting landscapes of Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands, creating cherished memories along the way.
In my personal life, I revel in the joy of being married to my husband, Charles. We are not only partners in life but also in work, sharing our passion and purpose. Together, we embrace the roles of parents to our son, Karro, and our beloved Goldendoodle, Squeaker “Cheeseburger” Penny-Jones.
I call the picturesque town of Boulder, Colorado, my home, and I relish the opportunity to immerse myself in the beauty of nature. Whether it's strolling alongside the serene Boulder Creek or embarking on new explorations in the captivating landscapes of Colorado, I find solace and inspiration in the great outdoors.
MY JOURNEY UNFOLDS
Several years ago, I found myself entrenched in the fast-paced world of marketing and event planning. As the owner of a thriving marketing agency, I was fortunate to collaborate with remarkable clients, and life seemed to be following a well-laid path. However, the course of my life took a profound turn when I received a life-altering phone call—the news that my father had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Over the course of the next few years, I watched my father's journey, witnessing his transition in the face of this relentless illness. His battle with Parkinson's prompted me to reevaluate the trajectory of my own life. It was a moment of profound awakening, as I realized that many of the pursuits I had been chasing weren't bringing me the genuine fulfillment I craved. It was at this pivotal juncture that I embarked on a deeply personal voyage of healing and transformation, and Journey Collective was born.
