Ren Rice in the KXRW Studio
This month’s guest was Ren Rice, creator, owner, and operator of The Romance Era Bookshop, a new boutique book store in Vancouver Washington. Ren is a wonderful community-maker, and a generous spirit in the entrepreneurial journey. Whenever I talk to Ren, I learn something new that defies stereotypes and demonstrates their authentic nature. I’m excited to be able to share their story with you and hopefully inspire you to strive for an authentic life, as early as you possibly can.

November 2023: Trusting Your Inner Voice
Jen’s guest for November 2023, Val Fishman
This month’s guest is Val Fishman. Val is a strong businesswoman, a mentor to many professionally and personally, and author of “I know What I’m doing, Come with me!” a book that aims to inspire people to find and listen to their inner voice. She’s a self-described truth teller, who has learned to trust her own instincts and value candor. The book and Val’s style are perfect alignment with my mission here to inspire everyone to find their authentic path and live unapologetically as their true selves.

August 2023: Change and Authenticity
This month’s show is very personal. As Jen embarks on a personal wellness transformation, she invites her business partner Brian Stinson to the show to discuss identifying the changes you want to make in your life, and how to, step-by-step, get closer to achieving the change. We also discuss the concept of self-love/acceptance and needing to change to be your authentic self, which seems paradoxical.
Authenticity Matters is a 60-minute show hosted by Jen Coyne where we examine how to live your life on the most authentic path for you.

May 2023: Body and Soul
Darina Neyret in the KXRW Studio
This month’s show was both a feature on someone who epitomizes living an authentic life and represents a test of Jen’s authenticity.
Jen welcomed Darina Neyret this month. Darina is an amazing photographer and an all-around terrific person, with a very interesting backstory. She asked Jen to participate in her Body+Soul project focused on body positivity, and Jen had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with her. It was an experience that demanded that Jen looked herself in the mirror and address any demons she saw. Join host Jen Coyne in learning about the inspiring work Darina is doing for people’s empowerment, and a discussion about self-acceptance.

February 2023: Authentically Being Someone Else
Keith Hart in the KXRW Studio
Jen’s guest this month was a man of many talents, Keith Hart. Keith is notably known as an Elvis Tribute Artist, but wears many hats including IT and Audio Visual specialist, entrepreneur, wedding officiant, and owner/chauffeur of a 1958 Cadillac. We pondered the question: how do you remain authentic and wear so many hats, let alone take on the likeness of another person as a tribute artist? We tackle tough conversations about being a Disney Jungle Cruise Skipper….and more intriguing stories! You won’t want to miss this fun conversation.
