Season 2, Episode 254: Jennie Runde – Clinical Services Director for Youth at Risk, MBA Project

Today’s guest is Jennie Runde. Jennie is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and has been working with youth at risk and their families for over 15 years. Throughout her career, she has worked with several organizations devoted to empowering youth in the juvenile justice system, including as an AmeriCorps mentor for teens on probation in San Luis Obispo.

While working as a teen mentor, Jennie found that she felt most passionate about helping people discover their inherent creativity, encouraging deep reflection and greater self-awareness.

In 2002, She joined Seneca Family of Agencies where she remained for 11 years, working with the Bay Area’s most vulnerable youth and their families in different roles, ultimately as Clinical Director for a school-based mental health program. Her passion for expressive arts and commitment to mindful practice has sustained and strongly influenced her work.

Jennie is grateful for the opportunity to bridge her professional and personal values, now as the Clinical Services Director for MBA Project.

Season 2, Episode 248: Michele PW – “Love-Based” Copywriter & Marketing Consultant

Today’s guest is Michele Pariza Wacek (aka Michele PW). She is considered one of the hottest direct response copywriters and marketing consultants in the industry today, and you may be wondering what’s that got to do with Consciously Speaking. Well… Michele is the creator of the “Love–Based Copywriting” philosophy.

She started writing professionally in 1992, working at agencies and on staff as a marketing/communication/writing specialist. In 1998 she started her business as a freelance copywriter.

But she quickly realized her vision was bigger than serving her clients as a one–woman–shop. In 2004, she began the transformation to building a copywriting company. And in 2006, her vision became a reality.

In addition, Michele is also a national speaker and the bestselling author of Love–Based Copywriting – How to Write Copy that Attracts, Inspires and Invites Your Ideal Prospects to Become Ideal Clients along with completing two novels.

You can find out more about Michele at www.michelepw.com.
