About Jenn
I’m Jennifer Tatroe, the “Jenn” behind From Jenn. I’m a small-town-bred writer and artist now living in the sprawling city of Los Angeles. I’m old enough to have an adult son, to be getting a few gray hairs, and to be a little scared of TikTok. I’m young enough to consider myself a digital native, to eat pink cotton candy, and to still think I have a shot at changing the world.
After relocating from Colorado to California in 2019, I stepped back from my creative handmade business to learn and write about the topics that matter most to me: slow living, mental health, mindfulness, creativity, and happiness. When the pandemic hit, my plans for the future fell apart in more ways than one. In 2021, my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I discovered I was suffering from complex PTSD. I'm currently building a very different life than the one I anticipated when I first moved to LA, managing my recovery and savoring every remaining moment with the love of my life.
I'm figuring out what it takes to be happy through stress, crisis, and mental health challenges. Join me every week as I share my personal experiences, how I'm doing, and what I've discovered on the slow path toward mindfulness, creativity, love, joy, and all the good things that come together to create a beautiful life.
