Sometimes someone else’s words reach a part of you that’s been quiet for years.

I’m Jen Lee, and I’m glad you’re here.

Making space for people who feel invisible comes naturally to me because I’ve been there myself. Along the way, I’ve learned that most of us don’t need fixing. Sometimes we simply need someone who truly listens.

It started with my podcast, a place for women to share their stories in their own voices.

Then I found mine, sharing my story on a stage.

Then I put my voice onto the page and wrote my book.

And everywhere I went, I heard the same quiet words: “I’m not the only one.”

Now I bring writers, readers, and people who love a good story into the same room, so more stories can be heard.

When a story is shared out loud, and a room takes the time to listen, something happens.

We stop. We feel. We connect.

That’s the power behind the story, and it’s the heart of

Where Stories Move You.

Where It Began

My work began taking shape in March of 2021, when I felt called by God to share a story I had carried in silence for years – surviving armed robbery and abduction.

At the time, I thought I was simply being asked to tell that one story.

But opening up about what I had survived helped me understand how much we can carry without anyone knowing. I wanted to make room for other women to feel heard, too.

A Purposeful Moment

During a trip to Virginia Beach, I met a homeless man on the boardwalk. He asked me for a cigarette. As we talked, I began to wonder about his story. What had he been through? What had brought him here?

Remembering the two blankets in my bag, I offered them to him. He gratefully accepted. This is a moment I will never forget.

Something shifted inside me that day.

I had come to the beach hoping to find the words to write, never imagining that someone else’s story would touch my own.

That encounter became Story 4 in my book, Why I Survived.

I learned a lesson I want to share with you; sometimes our intentions are not always our purpose.

We may set out looking for one thing, only to discover something we never knew we needed. Sometimes, it’s the unexpected people we meet and the stories they carry that leave the greatest mark on our hearts.

With Gratitude

Thank you for opening the door to connection.
 You are worthy of being seen, heard, and supported – just as you are.

With love and light,

~ Jen
