"Jennifer is an amazingly insightful and creative person who has helped me in so many ways. An honest listener, speaking with her is to really be part of a heartfelt dialogue that almost always leads to new discoveries about myself. With her guidance and helpful goading, I am finally moving in the right direction for my career and my life, while facing what, until her help, I saw as insurmountable obstacles. Through her patient counsel, writings, and revealing exercises, Jennifer has shown me how to fight RESISTANCE, to honor the parts of myself that I have ignored or denied for much of my adult life, and to how move toward that life that I want and deserve, the life that the universe wants from me." ~ Victor
"I would describe our work as just what I needed--an intensive brainstorming session with someone who is objective, who can see outside the box we create for ourselves. And I would highly recommend it." ~ Deb
"It is rather like speaking with a life coach. The difference is that Jenn didn't look to assist me with resume writing, skills-assessments, etc. Nor did she directly help me to find the job that would be right for me. Instead she helped me find the life that is right for me and showed me how I can make money doing what I love and living that life." ~ Mark
"Jenn, I so appreciate this opportunity to work (and walk!) with you. I am so lucky to have found you and I would not be this far along with my life direction change if it wasn't for you. You really are a remarkable person in so many ways and I'm so excited to have finally walked past the fork in the road." ~ Robinette
"I strongly recommend Jennifer's LIFE DESIGN 'homework.' By working with her, I found a way to make sense of 'taking a break from it all'--even though I'm a single mom!--and get focused on creating a portfolio that truly reflects what I'm here to do. As a result, when I was ready to get back out there, I came through as strong and clear." ~ Courtney
"Jennifer you're so inspiring, motivating, and encouraging. I would recommend working with you to anyone who is sick of just accepting the rest of the world's mentality that a job is just a job and you aren't supposed to enjoy yourself or what you do. You gave me resources and ideas on how to start to follow my heart's desires--something I used to consider silly or impractical." ~ Jan
"We are especially fortunate to have Dr. Jennifer Manlowe with us on our journey in becoming more whole, compassionate people for both ourselves and others. In candidly sharing her own experiences, such as she expresses in Loving Life As It Is, her words inspire us to create positive changes in our lives and our worlds. Manlowe’s brilliance and sheer breadth of knowledge could easily overwhelm or condescend. Rather, she approaches what may be the unfamiliar concept or theory with great humility. With loving personal warmth and humor and an unusual eye toward living life practically, she leaves the reader feeling as though they have been honored with a personal treasure. And they have. Her literature is on my bookshelf next to those feminist authors I read and re-read for their grounding wisdom. Manlowe’s is a uniquely moving and focused voice that women, and men, critically need, particularly in these uncertain times." ~ Sue Di Paola, M.S.C., J.D., Member of the California State Bar, Retired
"Jennifer, thanks so much for sending me your book, Sound View Daily Journal. lt's now part of my regular daily writing routine. I so appreciate your encouragement -- in so many ways. Thanks, too, for facilitating our monthly Saturday retreat of women in ministry. I'm sure that taking care of ourselves is as important as tending to others. Thanks also for bringing your other books -- I sent them off in the mail today and hope my friends find them as inspiring and helpful as I did. Bless you and your many gifts." ~ Mae
