Just like you, throughout my life I’ve had many crossroads appear in front of me, each one inviting me to choose which path forward I most wanted to take. There came a time when a particular crossroads arose for me, after I’d written and published my first book, Enlightenment Is Sexy, after I’d met and spoken with Oprah about meditation and higher consciousness (and she’d told her pal Sheri Salata, “I want what that girl has”), and after I’d spent the next two years traveling around the country speaking to audiences of mostly women about how to let go and let God.

What I realized standing at that crossroads was this: Hospitality is my first love, and I returned to the world of hosting in 2020 when I launched Juniper Holiday + Home.”
