On the Block with Jen Pastiloff Taleghany
Jennifer Pastiloff Taleghany, Beauty Hunter, Is The Founder Of The Manifest-Station, a website that uses writing, yoga, social media and activism to save and change lives. With millions of followers, Jen is a true champion of change, and a voice for compassionate transformation in a world that so desperately needs more of both. She is a writer and yoga teacher living with her husband in Los Angeles when she\u2019s not on an airplane. She travels the world with her unique workshop: The Manifestation Workshop: On Being Human-a hybrid of yoga, writing, sharing out loud, and occasionally a dance party. It's an experience that has been described as distinctly NOT "woo-woo," unpredictable, heart-mending and sometimes messy- just like life. You do not have to be a good yogi, or writer. Just a human being with a body. Jen has been featured on Good Morning America, New York Magazine, CBS News and more for her unique style of teaching. She\u2019s developed a massive and loyal following from her personal essays. She studied poetry and writing at NYU and Bucknell University and is currently finishing her first book. In this episode, we discuss how her hearing loss has taught her more about her deepest self than one would think possible, the joys and terrors of new motherhood, and how she went from being a waitress with a dream to one of the world's most vital and catalytic agents of the discipline of self-love...with an even bigger dream. We were delighted she took some time to speak with us.
