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.
I find myself creating one safe zone after the next. When I started writing again after a long break, I stepped out of my safe zone. Now I’m writing and it has become another safe zone. Getting out and meeting face to face with the women who are looking to connect with their true nature, terrifies me. Well, it’s not the face to face that I dread, it’s the rejection. Planning a gathering and having nobody show or disappointing someone who attends.
I remember you shared about this experience at your NYC workshop. A woman wrote to you and said it wasn’t what she expected. Well, that is the result of setting an expectation with no basis in reality, right? The fact is, that is exactly what I’m doing. I read a wonderful woman’s post yesterday. She talked about tripping into the past and tripping into the future. Making shit happen inspires me to trip into the future. This stifles and sparks fear in me. I know that I can make shit happen by staying in the moment every step of the way.
These are inspiring words, Jen. I am loving the fact I’ve come across you. To say I’ve expanded myself in this virtual world is making sh*t happen. I’ve been secluded in another site where I found courage to be sh*tty; but it also came to a point that stagnation crept in. And it became my comfort zone. It literally became another home for me. And that is not what is meant to do for me. I used it as an escape. Because that is where safety resided.
Thank you again for manifesting.
Have a great weekend! Namaste! =)
Jen,
Thank you, thank you thank you. I introduce myself to this guy I see where I shop. He is awesome and the next step will be getting those digits. Also I am taking the driving test and instead listening to the bulls*** in my head, I will follow my heart. I don’t have a damn thing but I so busy playing it safe I am missing out on the goodness. We are starting to have nice days and I will not have my a** in the house and miss out.

Hello my shining cherub friend,
I find myself creating one safe zone after the next. When I started writing again after a long break, I stepped out of my safe zone. Now I’m writing and it has become another safe zone. Getting out and meeting face to face with the women who are looking to connect with their true nature, terrifies me. Well, it’s not the face to face that I dread, it’s the rejection. Planning a gathering and having nobody show or disappointing someone who attends.

I love you!
