I am deeply interested in life. I am fascinated with how my own wisdom has emerged through my ability to reflect on my own actions, thoughts and beliefs. To me wisdom is not grasped intellectually but is a felt experience that soothes and connects us to deeper wells of truth that lie within. I am Jennifer Winfield, I am author of Wisdom From Lived Experience, a guidance deck that I created to shares stories and wisdom from my own lived experience. In this podcast I will continue to share my own wisdom and uncover the wisdom from the guests who join me in conversation throughout the series.

Vulnerable Hearts

Sometimes we have no idea where I am going, there is this magnetising pull towards something that asks for my rational mind to move over so that my intuitive and mystical senses can steer the ship.
