Advisory Council

Jen’s remarkable journey exemplifies resilience, courage, and profound personal growth. Her experiences with abandonment and neglect have shaped her into a compassionate leader, deeply attuned to the struggles many face. With unwavering curiosity, Jen has explored the world on her own terms, learning to love and care for herself amidst life’s challenges.

As a young adult, Jen navigated feelings of disillusionment and disconnection, transforming her pain into a powerful catalyst for growth. By her early forties, she was thriving in her career, leading impactful leadership development initiatives within a large organization and uplifting others to reach their potential. Yet, as she stood at the pinnacle of her success, she had a pivotal revelation: true fulfillment lies beyond external achievements.

With great courage, she stepped away from her corporate career to embark on a journey to discover the root of fulfillment. For nine transformative months, she delved into deep contemplation, engaging with spiritual teachings, meditating, and uncovering her true essence. This immersive experience led to a powerful and blissful awakening— a spontaneous experience of seeing through the illusion of separation and into our intrinsic unity. She then began following her joy, teaching meditation, and training as a Spiritual Director - someone who skillfully walks with others on their spiritual path.

Today, as the Founder and Spiritual Director of Ancient Hearts Collective, Jen is passionately committed to helping others remember their innate wholeness. As our visionary leader, she thoughtfully curates transformative gatherings that foster deep connection, love, and community. Jen invites us to embark on our own exploration of truth and self-discovery, empowering us to embrace the divine connection that unites us all.

Jen is a Certified Interspiritual/Interfaith Spiritual Director through the Spiritual Guidance Training Institute.

Stefani serves as a bridge between the heart of our collective and the wider world. As Community Outreach Advisor, she connects the dots between curiosity and community, helping folks feel genuinely welcomed.

She lives in Janesville with her husband, Danny, their loyal dog Clark (who takes his walk schedule very seriously), and their cat Pigeon (who takes his role as household entertainment director just as seriously). Her favorite spiritual practices include long walks, cooking wildly unnecessary meals on weeknights, and pausing mid-conversation to appreciate a really good tree.

Through life’s challenges, she’s learned to appreciate the small moments and hold the hard ones with grace. She's all about honoring the full human mess… er, experience... with as much grace and humor as possible.

As someone who listens first and shows up with presence, she believes in the quiet magic of being together and the beauty of inviting others into community without pressure—only open doors and open hearts.

Brittany is a visionary leader, trauma survivor, and spiritual seeker whose journey from atheism to a deeply personal and expanding relationship with God has shaped her life’s mission: helping others heal, grow, and connect through love. After overcoming a traumatic childhood and years of addiction, Brittany got sober in 2016—an experience that opened the door to a profound spiritual awakening. Since then, she has earned a degree in Ministerial Studies, served on the leadership team of a non-denominational home church, and most importantly, has learned to trust her deepest self.

Known for her intuitive giftings—hearing, seeing, and knowing—Brittany has always felt deeply attuned to the spiritual world. She brings a unique blend of authenticity, compassion, and strategic insight in both her professional and personal life. As the Growth and Development Advisor for Ancient Hearts Collective, she draws from years of experience in entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, and holistic marketing to help shape a spiritual community grounded in the universal thread of love that ties all people and traditions together.

This new role is not just a title for Brittany—it’s an extension of her heart, her story, and her unwavering belief that healing, truth, and unity are possible for us all.
