In this episode, we interview Jenna Hammond, a children's author known for the beloved barnyard yoga book, "Downward Mule." However, she was editor-in-chief at a desk job and led family yoga classes on the weekends. Beyond writing, Jenna works as a special needs classroom aide, volunteers with kids, and enjoys sports with her family and rescue dog. Today we interviewed Jenna to ask her how and why she wanted to write children’s books, how an unforeseen passion in yoga shaped her writing career, how she deals with rejection and writer’s block, and everything in between.
