Welcome to the Jenni Carroll Perspective. Today we explore a way to look at ourselves and our relationships with others from a different vantage point. As an alternative to our typical egocentric, personality-driven perspective, we will consider approaching the world from a heart-centered perspective.

Thankfully, there is usually room for error in our ...

Welcome to the Jenni Carroll Perspective. For our last episode in this series on purpose, we are going to take a slight detour and discuss something that for me is both a priority and a joy - and that is beauty.
