Reinvention with Jenn Fast

Jenn Fast in the Press
Most midlife transitions stall for a reason nobody names: they are built on inspiration instead of infrastructure. I work with women in midlife on both, the identity work and the systems that carry it, through perimenopause, career shifts, divorce, and empty nests. For interviews, features, and expert commentary on reinvention, burnout recovery, and building a second chapter that actually holds, you are in the right place.

Where I've Been Featured
Narrator for The Spider Family and the Web of Warning
CHILDREN'S AUDIOBOOK ON AUDIBLE
In Alderwake Forest, the Loomroot spider family can read danger through the smallest vibrations. After a riverbank collapses without warning reaching nearby animals, the family proposes a network of sensing threads connecting marshes, meadows, pine groves, cliffs, and underground paths. But building silk is easier than building trust. As false alarms, pride, fear, storms, fire, floods, and broken anchors test the system, every community must learn how to verify information, share authority, admit uncertainty, and act together. This continuous fable explores disaster preparedness, responsible communication, decentralized leadership, resilient design, and the truth that a warning saves lives only when it belongs to everyone who needs it.

Kind words from the author:
“Jenn was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She brought the characters to life with warmth, personality, and great attention to detail. I'm very happy with the final audiobook and would gladly work with her again.”
