Tryin’ to help you GetBetterSoon!

Born and raised in Portland, OR I’ve worn a lot of hats in life: I’ve been a server, bartender, high school English teacher (brewery delivery driver in summers), college adjunct professor, dating coach, and now a jet-setting sales bro working with law firms and insurance carriers.

Blogging since 2008, I’ve also published two novels and numerous short stories. Most importantly, I’ve had more than my share of setbacks, only surpassed by recoveries, comebacks, and wins. This blog and podcast are a reflection of the life lessons I’ve learned and continue to learn, and going forward, we’ll continue to learn and grow together!

I hope that you’ll learn as much from this project as I do, and that you’ll contribute, whether by sharing, commenting, coming on the podcast, or writing a guest post! You can get in touch with me at [email protected], follow me on IG ja_getbetter, or by DMing me here on Substack. Namaste my friends!
