Welcome to Mane Witness!

Hello, I’m Jen. I’m a lawyer, writer, and gossip. I started this blog/website/Substack to get back into writing. I was an avid blogger back in the day but made the mistake of making a career out of it. So I got completely sick of it. But now I’m back.

About Me

I think the best way to get to know someone is to hear them describe their daily routine, so here’s mine.

I wake up anywhere between 7:00 am and 8:30 am. The first thing I usually do is look around to see where my cat and dog are sleeping. Sophie is half Poodle and then a mix of Pug, Pomeranian, and Beagle. Quincy Jones is a fluffy black blob I picked up off the street of Windsor, Ontario, as a kitten. I work from home, so it’s a short commute. I get breakfast on the way; usually eggs and bacon. Coffee too - I’ve had to switch to decaf because caffeine makes me anxious. From 9 to 5, I’m a divorce lawyer. After work, I would usually go ride my horse, Collective Force (barn name “Ollie”). However, at the time of this writing, Ollie and I are both taking time off because of injuries (we are survivors of a slip-and-fall and stairs, respectively). So now I spend my evening writing or making content on TikTok. I have a fear of being perceived that I’m trying to get over.

What’s This Substack About?

Great question, diva. I don’t know. And trying to define it has been a roadblock to writing, so it’s whatever I’m thinking about. It’s usually pop culture and cultural commentary, I suppose. Some self-reflection as well.
