Jenna’s creation of the Milo series is inspired by her previous work with children in both educational and clinical settings where she spent the first part of her career training to become a child and family psychologist. Of course, there are many other sources for her creation of Milo including her own intimate experience with adversity. She’s also dedicated the last four decades of her life to a rigorous meditation practice and now teaches meditation and other “life-wise”skills including creative journaling to big and little humans. 

 

When she’s not writing children’s books, creating Milo content, and teaching resilience, she’s practicing her cartwheel on beaches across California.
