It’s Your Life. Live It.
Do you ever think “there must be more than this” to life?
Do you dream of living a more authentic life that lets your true gifts shine?
Does your heart – and mind! – feel that you have a greater purpose in life that is just waiting to be discovered and fulfilled?
I used to feel like that too. My name is Jennifer Monahan, and my passion is to help people define and live authentic, purposeful lives that not only bring them more joy and freedom, but also help them make the impact they want on the world.
Several years ago I worked as an executive leader for a well-paying consulting firm. While I enjoyed the work and the people I worked with, I knew in my heart that there was “something else” out there for me. A chance meeting with a Mayan shaman in Mexico was the catalyst for me to change every aspect of my life. I ended up writing my first of now two books, quitting my job, putting everything I owned in storage and traveling around the world for almost a year. Today, I split my time between the United States and Guatemala (where I have built a sanctuary home of my dreams) living a life that gives me freedom, flexibility and joy while doing work that excites me every day and makes an impact on the world.
As I discovered my authentic self, I learned six things that everyone needs to do to live an authentic life. These six things broke down barriers and gave me the direction and confidence I needed to move forward to create the life of my dreams. I’ve written “Six Steps to Living a Courageously Authentic Life” that outlines these steps. I’d like to give it to you as my gift.
Here’s How I Can Help You
Sensational story...and captivating writing...Jennifer flawlessly narrates her story in a brazen, honest and inspiring way.

“Because of your focus, people are set at ease knowing you are in the moment and not somewhere else. This creates a sense of comfort and direction…Your ability to generate trust…comes from a true interest in what is happening.”

"I wanted to extend from my heart to yours how incredibly grateful I feel for our shamanic session today. We often highlight as healers how "it's spirit doing the work", which is true, but... or AND I want to also acknowledge and honor YOU for the amazing soul and deeply feeling spirit you are; intelligent, wise, heartfelt, compassionate, intuitive, facilitating such powerful healing for me and others. I can just feel your wonderful journey in the deeply spiritually connected, miraculous place you are over there, the magical expansion that is happening and the many lives you touch, the many lives you will touch and help move forward powerfully. I know I feel deeply touched and moved forward. You are incredible truly. Thank you for who you are and the very special gifts you share with this world."

“While so many claim spirituality, Jennifer Monahan puts her life on the line to explore the meaning of living an authentic, courageous life. She reveals how and what her own spirit guides respond to the life questions she poses. She honestly exposes her personal tragedy, the sorrow of her life and her desire to escape the work needed to heal. In the end the reader knows they have partaken of a genuine search, a real journey.”
CHARLENE JONES, M.ED/M.A., author of The Stain and Medicine Buddha/Medicine Mind.Great show! Very inspiring and thank you for always being authentic, modeling courage.

E.B.Jennifer Monahan takes the reader through an important and moving journey in her memoir, This Trip Will Change Your Life: A Shaman’s Story of Spirit Evolution. The book transforms a personal experience into one that the reader happily joins. I was inspired from the start – Jennifer shares a truly encouraging, educational and exciting account of what’s possible when one stays open to what comes and ultimately, what’s meant to be.
Laura Cococcia, editor and publisher of The Journal of Cultural Conversation and contributor to Huffington Post and Elephant Journal"Thank you again for the session yesterday, Jennifer. I already feel that I have a greater understanding and freedom as well as expansiveness and connection to a larger world. It’s a really welcome feeling to experience that."
A.M.Jennifer takes us on a rare, powerful and vulnerable journey into the awakening of her shamanic abilities. The insights, synchronicities, miracles and messages she so faithfully pursued inspired clarity while she facilitated my healing. Her authentic, ancient yet current, shamanic healing talents are an even greater gift with her personal story now shared. The impact is nothing less than an invitation to your profound inner healing.
Lane Michel, CEO, Executive Consultant and Coach, VeraHeart and author, Unity Quest"Some memoirs tell us stories and open up worlds we never knew, but some open up places in our own hearts and souls that we have wanted to explore and have never given ourselves the chance to do so. Where To? How I Shed My Baggage and Learned to Live Free by Jennifer B. Monahan belongs to the second category of memoirs...Where To? How I Shed My Baggage and Learned to Live Free is a spiritual testament, a book that describes a journey towards inner freedom and authenticity. Many readers will feel the resonance of Jennifer’s story in their own lives."
CHRISTIAN SIA for Readers’ Favorite"Thank you SO much Jen! You really helped me to acknowledge a lot of things I already knew as well as bringing clarity to some of the goals I have."

Wow. Just wow! Just had the pleasure of tuning into your first radio show and had no idea what to expect. What you have done with your life is nothing short of remarkable and inspiring. I wish you all the best in this new future and will be turned in to witness your growing impact. Thanks for sharing your gift.
L.W.One of our most favorite type of books is a biography. And even better than that are the biographies that are adventures! This Trip Will Change Your Life gloriously fits the bill both times, luckily for all of us. There is nothing finer than sharing each other’s true stories, especially like this one, where the author has been there, done that in fantastically transforming events. In a few words, we awaken our inspiration and we change. Immediately. Jennifer brings us with her in deeply intimate, life-altering journeys with honesty, simplicity, spirit and power. We know you can grow your profound potential absorbing her story. What could be better?
Marilyn and Tohmas Twintreess, authors of the Stones Alive! Series; Elemental Birth Imprints: Living and Evolving with the Earth’s Elementals NOW!; and Feeding the Living Body & Soul: Rocket Fuel for your Super Hero & Genius SelfI feel fantastic, I can't wait for our next session.

C.O.I just finished reading your new book Where To? and loved it. There is something in your story and your life that gives me tremendous hope that I too can be fearless like you, trust the world and take that next step without needing to know the outcome. During the reading of your book and after, I find myself asking where is my courage to go and live my dream?
~B.J.If you are looking to truly transform yourself, your life, or both, then this is the course for you. Not only will you identify and push past deep seated limitations, but you will also experience a magical sense of alignment and connection with your true purpose and authentic self. Jennifer, herself a sparkling source of authenticity and inspiration, powerfully applies attuned skills as a shamanic healer and professional coach to insightfully give guidance, motivation and support through each transformational step. She will undoubtably push you forward in ways that you previously would not have believed possible. Can I honestly say that working with Jennifer made my dreams come true? Yes, I can...and much more!
Siobhain M."Thank you so much! So much of my life makes more sense right now. I feel lighter...less heavy and I feel like I'm laughing with true joy for the first time in a while. Thank you for your beautiful gift. It was a huge turning point for me and I'm so grateful that we could cross paths."
