Writer
Jeanette Brown is a coach, writer, and course creator helping people reinvent their lives—especially during major transitions like retirement. Based in Australia, she brings a warm, science-backed approach to self-growth, blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and journal-based coaching.
After a long career in education leadership, Jeanette experienced firsthand the burnout and anxiety that come with living on autopilot. Her healing began not with big changes, but small daily rituals—like journaling by hand, morning sunlight, and mindful movement. Today, she helps others find calm, clarity, and renewed purpose through her writing, YouTube channel, and courses like Your Retirement, Your Way: Thriving, Dreaming and Reinventing Life in Your 60s and Beyond.
A passionate journaler who finds clarity through movement and connection to nature, Jeanette walks daily, bike rides often, and believes the best thinking often happens under an open sky. Jeanette believes our daily habits—what we consume, how we reflect, how we move—shape not just how we feel, but who we become.
When she’s not writing or recording videos, you’ll find her riding coastal trails, dancing in her living room, or curled up with a book and a pot of herbal tea.
