We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jen Heller a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jen , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.

Yes, the defining moment my career went from a comfortable corporate HR job to diving into the exciting unknown of entrepreneurship was when my health took a significant negative turn and I quicky needed to prioritize my stress and overall well-being.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Wellness found me about 15 years ago – I was well over 100 pounds overweight and toxic with heavy metals, mercury and lead. I was sick, exhausted and struggled with chronic fatigue, which ultimately led to a stroke that left my left side crippled/paralyzed. I was in total disbelief and didn’t know what to do. Through a friend and divine alignment, I found a Nutrition Response Practitioner in my area who was not able to test and discover the root problems, she had solutions to help detoxify and restore my mind and body back to wholeness. It was during that journey I decided to leave my corporate job to dive in head first into educating others on the many benefits of infrared heat, the importance of functioning detox pathways plus how to create a healthy, healing home. In 2014, I opened/created a wellness company, Jen Heller Lifestyle and later launched the “Homes That Heal” podcast.

What do I offer – I am a health and wellness educator and the go-to resource for infrared saunas and red light therapy. This is my expertise and wheelhouse and I absolutely love helping others bring wellness tools in their home. I also included a link to my site which highlights my mission, passion and zest for a healthy, vibrant lifestyle plus a few ways people can work with me.

It also includes the Jen Recommends resources for all my favorite things, people and books that have inspired my healing journey.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

In 2014, my vision came to fruition and I opened a wellness center and sauna studio, Jenerate Wellness. It was a peaceful place where people could learn about holistic healing, enjoy a sauna session in one of our private “sauna suites” or just pop in for a cup of delicious tea. When Covid came along in 2020 and forced me to permanently, I was more than devasted…I was gutted. I lost everything – everything I hustled years to build and a “wellness hub” in the community was gone in a matter of weeks. My heart was broken and my identity destroyed. I honestly felt like I was in a fog without a clear plan, but the one thing that remained constant was my passion to help and serve others. People were counting on me to help guide them through unchartered waters and my desire to help has always outweighed the struggles. I prayed and I listened everyday. Somedays, I literally spent hours in silence…listening and thinking about what to do next. Within a few months, the fog started to lift, I pivoted into consulting from home and my reach expanded. That’s also when I launched my podcast, Homes That Heal, which has been one of my greatest joys!

If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?

No, not at all!

I was born to be a light worker and help others create a life of health & happiness
