We’re back with the second part of my conversation with Jennifer Yu. Today we’re discovering Jenn’s “Superpowers”, her favorite quote, and what “wintering” means and how it can help us re-evaluate and re-set ourselves from time to time.
Here’s what I cover with Jennifer Yu in this episode:
- Throwing Epic Parties: How has Jennifer Yu been throwing epic parties since her teenage years?
- Reading and Cooking: How does Jennifer Yu use cookbooks as more than just pretty pictures?
- Wintering: What is the power of rest and retreat in difficult times, as explored in the book Wintering by Catherine May?
Thanks again and welcome to Good Life Stories.
