Hi! I’m Jan Smith. Matriarch of our family of two adult children, their partners and five grandchildren. Getting to this point in my life journey has at times been challenging and also involved personal growth.
I’m so pleased you have found this website for women who are transitioning through life. I feel particularly drawn to be a guide for women progressing from active mothering to beautiful wise women and matriarchs of their families and communities.
Previously in my life I have worked in Education as an early childhood teacher. I also have post graduate studies in Psychology. I am an avid student of life, particularly enjoying reading and learning about emotional intelligence, self-compassion and other mindfulness practices.
When searching the website you can type in any of the following categories –
- Compassion and Vulnerability
- Connection
- Courage
- Life Satisfaction
- Mindfulness
- Transition and Change
You can also read my blogs on my Facebook page Healing the Matriarch.
