Jeanette Brown is a writer, retired education leader and career coach based in Australia. After a long career in the classroom and leading education teams, and a lifetime spent guiding young people through the moments that shape them, she now writes about purpose, identity, creativity, and the small daily rituals that quietly make us who we are. On The Artful Age she brings an educator's eye to the everyday craft of raising curious, creative kids, alongside the bigger questions of building a meaningful family life. A passionate journaler, she does her clearest thinking outdoors, walking or cycling under an open sky.
