The Closest We Get to God
Episode three of The Path to Authenticity features birth photographer Jen Conway. As an aspiring English teacher, Jen’s love for reading led her to a book on unassisted childbirth. What began as curiosity evolved into a passion. Now, in addition to being a mother of four, she is an accomplished doula and birth documentarian. This award-winning photographer captures images every bit as powerful as the moments they represent. In this episode she talks about her career path and offers insight as someone who has immersed herself in pregnancy and childbirth. Visit jenconwayphotography.com.
This podcast would have never happened without Jen’s friendship and support. What’s more, she shot all the photos used to brand it. In the process of creating this show, because of Jen’s input, what was a thought became and idea. Not unlike all the other births she documents, Jen and her work were instrumental in bringing that idea, The Path to Authenticity, to life.

The Path to Authenticity is a podcast for people looking for more from life. It focuses on emotional wellness and starts from the premise that our true power comes from our individuality. We talk to various types of writers and artists as well as therapists, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all kinds. Our guests possess one common trait. They’re people who know who they are. We talk about what makes them who they are, how they became who they are, and how we might become truer expressions of who we are.
