“Communicate with kindness, always.”
— Me, The Kale Queen

Jen Armel

I have a passion for:

People, Wellness
And Sharing Stories.

So much negative energy is wasted on whining and complaining, instead of focusing on all the good around us. I want this blog to become a positive space where we can inspire each other. A place where we, TOmillennials, can share our health / wellness stories, tips and experiences.

My passion for words and storytelling started when I was eight. My first journal entry? "Hello Dieery, My name is Jenn. I am excited for the wekendd." Riveting? Yes, I know. Today, 20+ years later, I remain dedicated to my writing (and yes, spelling too) and have genuinely enjoyed looking through old entries.

So, what do I do? [You know, to make a living]

Currently, I work as an Internal Communications Manager at Enercare Inc. (One of North America’s largest home, commercial services and energy solution companies). Despite all the digital work I do, I still think nothing compares to communication outside of cyberspace [I know, shocker]. I truly believe, now more than ever that the world needs more face to face conversation, in order to connect and get to know each other without assumptions.
