Jody DeMauro Mancini - The Simple Journey
“The group gives me a space that allows me to remove my armor. I’ve never shown up so honestly and real - ready to listen and share. It’s created an awareness, connection, and freedom I’ve never known before. Every week I laugh and learn - a winning combination.”
As a former teacher, college academic counselor, small business owner, and a seeker of deeper conversations, creating The Simple Journey was an easy transition. Everyday life has always been and continues to be my greatest teacher. Today, I trust the process of life’s lessons, giving me what I need. I am grateful for having the ability to laugh at myself and the things that happen each day. more…

My 18 years as partner with my daughter, Carie, as an esthetician at Visibility in Portland provided me another opportunity to share and help my clients. All this experience has lead me to the The Simple Journey, my longtime goal. Creating this with my daugter, Jody, is yet another gift. - . . more…
