Avid journal writer, artist, author, publisher, and founder of the groundbreaking Journal a Month Club, Rena loves all things creative.
Decades of navigating the myriad ups, downs, joys, pains, challenges and rewards of living the creative life have led her to conclude that “self-expression is not for sissies!”
Known for her contagious enthusiasm and irreverent sense of humor, Rena is passionate about helping people be more self-expressed and enjoy greater freedom, happiness, and well-being. She’s also passionate about naps, chardonnay, and the color periwinkle.
