We’re looking forward to introducing you to Jennifer Briskin. Check out our conversation below.
Jennifer, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I’m being called to fully integrate the two worlds that have shaped me — my thirty years in business, leadership, and consulting, and my lifelong passion for energy healing and intuitive work through Listening Tree Healing Studio. For a long time, I felt I had to choose between them — to keep my intuitive gifts quiet in the corporate world, or set aside my business acumen when working with creative and spiritual clients. Now, I see that the world is shifting, and people are craving authenticity, alignment, and energetic clarity in how they live and lead. I’m no longer hiding either side of who I am. I’ve always quietly used my intuition to guide executive teams, mergers, and leadership development, but now I’m doing it boldly and openly — helping organizations and individuals clear energetic blocks, tap into their natural wisdom, and create from a place of flow. My next chapter is about serving those who match my frequency — people and businesses who value both strategy and soul.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Jennifer Briskin — a Business Intuitive and founder of Listening Tree Healing Studio, where strategy meets soul. My work blends intuitive energy healing with leadership coaching and organizational insight, helping both individuals and businesses clear energetic blocks and create from a place of alignment and flow.
After a long career guiding executives, leaders, and creative teams, I realized my greatest strength has always been reading the energy behind people, teams, and businesses — the unseen dynamics that shape outcomes. Through Listening Tree, I bring that intuitive lens forward in a new, authentic way, supporting clients as they navigate growth, transformation, and creative expansion.
What makes my brand unique is its ability to bridge two worlds that rarely intersect — the grounded, practical side of business and the intuitive, energetic side of human potential. Whether I’m working with a company to realign its culture or helping a creative unblock inspiration, my focus is always on transformation from the inside out.
Right now, I’m developing new offerings for leaders and teams that blend energy work with strategy — business clearings, intuitive consulting, and retreats designed to elevate both performance and consciousness. It’s about helping people and organizations rise to meet the frequency of where the world is headed next.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The part of me that tried to fit into boxes that no longer felt true — the version that played small to make others comfortable, that translated intuition into corporate language so it would be more “acceptable.” For years, I balanced two versions of myself: the strategic executive and the intuitive healer. Both were real, but I often kept them separate out of fear that blending them would confuse people or cost me credibility.
What I’m releasing now is the need for permission. I’ve realized that my greatest power comes from bringing all of me forward — the intuitive, the strategic, the creative, and the deeply human. The world is shifting, and people are craving leaders who are authentic and energetically aligned. So I’m letting go of the old rules and embracing a new way of working — one that honors both the wisdom of business and the wisdom of energy.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The defining wounds of my life have been tied to loss and letting go — losing people, clients, and versions of myself I thought I needed to be. Over the past few years, I’ve been on a profound healing journey that stripped away everything that wasn’t aligned — relationships, work, and patterns that no longer resonated with who I truly am. It was painful and, at times, lonely. But it also became the greatest invitation to come home to myself.
I’ve learned that not everyone is meant to walk with us through every chapter. Some clients, colleagues, and even family connections were part of earlier versions of me — the one who overgave, who felt responsible for everyone else’s peace. Healing for me has meant learning boundaries rooted in love rather than fear, honoring endings as sacred, and trusting that what’s aligned will always find its way back.
Through energy work, spiritual practice, and deep self-reflection, I’ve turned those wounds into wisdom. They’ve taught me to lead with compassion while staying in integrity with my own energy. That’s the foundation of Listening Tree Healing Studio — transforming pain into purpose and helping others remember that release is not loss; it’s the space where true alignment begins.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
For much of my career, I believed that success required “playing the game” — fitting in, following the rules, and doing things the traditional way. I thought if I wanted to be taken seriously, especially in corporate settings, I had to play the part and tuck away the intuitive, creative parts of myself that didn’t seem to belong. That belief served me for a time, but it also kept me small and disconnected from my truest expression.
Now I know that real success — the kind that feels expansive and alive — comes from authenticity, not performance. If something feels forced, it’s probably not in alignment. I’ve let go of the need to prove myself or fit into someone else’s version of “professional.” I tell people all the time, I’m not a traditional coach. I don’t do things strictly by the book, and I’m not for everyone — and that’s exactly the point.
The more I’ve trusted my own rhythm and intuition, the more the right people and opportunities have appeared. Alignment has replaced effort, and integrity has replaced approval. That’s been one of my greatest lessons.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What are you doing today that won’t pay off for 7–10 years?
I’m investing my time and energy in mentoring emerging creative talent — the next generation of artists, songwriters, actors, and visionaries who are learning how to navigate both the creative and business sides of their work. So many gifted people enter the entertainment world with enormous talent but little understanding of how to protect their energy, use their voice, and stand in their truth.
Through my work, I help them build not just careers, but confidence, clarity, and boundaries — so they can thrive in their craft and in the business behind it. It’s deeply personal to me, because I know the power of being seen, guided, and encouraged early on. These are the future leaders and culture shapers, and I want them to have the tools to succeed without losing themselves in the process.
It’s not something that pays off immediately, but I see it as planting seeds — seeds of empowerment, integrity, and self-worth that will grow into something much bigger than any of us can see right now.
