Guest:
Jennifer Faulkner is located in a beach-side town on the Mornington Peninsula of Australia. She’s an advocate for the natural environment, an accomplished Melbourne-based health and wellness writer, and has a passion for travel, stand-up paddleboarding, and good stories.
She is the Founder of Word Symmetry, where it’s her job to make other people look good through styling their words and creating content for their digital assets. But, English was not always her strong suit.
Actually, throughout high school, Jennifer hated English and found herself to be a daydreamer with a naturally creative mind. She then took a right turn pursuing studies and earning a degree in Law. Jennifer’s writing abilities were really strengthened during this time, and because she worked with a variety of senior professionals who each had their own preferred style, she developed the ability to take on that personality style and deliver the work in a way that suited them.
After time spent feeling like she was losing touch with her creative side, Jennifer took some time off to really cultivate what was meaningful to her and what she wanted to do. This is what led her to begin her business in writing and professional communications.

Quotes:
“When you get in touch with your zone of genius–the passion that drives you to do what you do–that’s when the gold comes out. Work with someone who can capture the little things that so often get lost in conversation and put those words in your writing.”
“It’s really important to just be yourself, particularly when you’re starting out in business. We get stuck comparing what others are doing and how they’re doing it, and the negative voices can come in and self-doubt comes in, but what we forget is, no one can deliver our message in that way that we can”
“I liken it to trying on a pair of jeans. It takes a few goes before you get the perfect fit.”
“Failure is a part of growth and a part of learning. I don’t know one person that hasn’t failed at something at some point. It’s completely normal.”
“Just because you can do everything, doesn’t mean you should.” – one of Jennifer’s favorite mottos
“There’s so much abundance out there. There’s an audience waiting to hear your message, there’s an audience waiting to hear what only you have to offer, so just do it. Do it in a way that feels natural, feels true to you, and the rest will follow. There’s enough room for everyone here, so forward on your path and don’t compare yourself to others because no one knows how to do you better than you.”
