   Want to Experience “Unscripted Magic”? Let Jennifer Zinda Show You How.

   Seattle resident Jennifer Zinda has always loved having adventures in the mountains, especially with her children, and when her son suggested that it had always been her dream to live in a mountain town, she decided to finally make this dream a reality. Jennifer, who is a people person and a self-proclaimed “joy seeker,” was admittedly a bit nervous about spending six weeks on her own, living and skiing in Park City, Utah. Would she be able to find community and connect with locals? In this Living Fully Conversation, Jennifer shares her journey of pursuing a dream, overcoming fear in the process, and why she has no regrets. She describes how opening herself up to “unscripted magic”— serendipitous moments that aren't planned but happen when you take a small step toward what you want – has become a way of life. Her advice is simple: start somewhere, take a first step, then ride the wave of joy that follows. Listen now to Jennifer's conversation with John and be inspired to take your own steps toward making a dream come true, through living fully.
