Jennifer Pastiloff positively positive responsibility

Jennifer Pastiloff

Jennifer Pastiloff, Beauty Hunter, is a writer and yoga teacher living with her husband in Los Angeles and soon to be son, when she’s not on an airplane. She travels the world with her Manifestation Retreats/Workshops On Being Human- a hybrid of yoga, writing, sharing out loud, and occasionally a dance party, as well as a workshop for young women called "Girl Power: You Are Enough." It's an experience that has been described as NOT "woo-woo,", 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 studied poetry and writing at NYU and Bucknell University and is currently finishing her first book and is represented by Adriann Ranta at Foundry Media. She tweets/instagrams at @jenpastiloff.

Something I’ve noticed: when I was fundraising (with #onbeinghuman2020 , we raised $140k to feed people in the last 2.5 months through my Instagram chats) it was easy to ask for help. It was easy to ask for support. And I didn’t take it personally when I got a no. Something I’ve noticed: it’s not as easy when it’s for me. I am done with fundraising campaign for now, and am moving on to figuring out my paperback book launch & what I am going to do to earn income (pandemic hit my livelihood hard-in fact: 100%.) I feel insecure. Asking

Today. I’m meant to be on plane with my mom & son to go lead a retreat in France at @chateau_de_bardouly with 25 women. Alas, I am in my underwear on my bed with a cut finger dripping blood (nearly sliced said finger off) from opening a can of goddamned Trader Joe’s beans. That’s where I’m at. Eating beans from a can. Very much not in France. Here’s a video from last year’s retreat where they surprised me with a dance to @pink because, you know, it hurts to be human. I miss you all so much. Onward.
