Diandra Reviews It All- Interviews Jennifer Denali: Being Open To Truth

Diandra: What are aspects of yourself you have tried to love?

Jennifer: I spent some time working in the inner me, and I realized I had some blockages in my heart and my voice, in terms, of letting people in and opening myself up to say my truth without feeling unsafe. Those are two things I am still working on.

Diandra: Do you know the origins of the blocks?

Jennifer: Those are other things I am trying to look into going forward. When I was young, I used to be so fearless. I don’ t know. I think its life experiences force you to close up, like, relationships and finding out who you are when you need to learn how to trust again. I think its hurt, and I want to work on those things so I can create and have more of my own voice.

Diandra: What is the hardest part about transferring your dream into career?

Jennifer: The hardest part, in the beginning, was getting out of my way: really believing that I am DAMN GOOD! Really believing that I am good and the people like my music. I think I still really need to love myself so as to let people to love me.

Diandra: What is one piece of wisdom then that you have learned from a heartbreak?

Jennifer: I think people come into our lives, at that time, to teach us something. They are like a hidden message, and it is hard to see it, at the time, their purpose. They push you to move on to a different part of yourself.

Diandra: Do you then think that we are destined to meet the people that hurt us or we simply learn from pain?

Jennifer: I think both. I learn from the love of people around me, as well. I think thinking that you always learn something from your relationships that softens the pain.

Diandra: So do you think music has taught you to not block the pain: let it out?

Jennifer: OoOOo I like these questions! Anyone who knows me knows that I put my feeling into my music to encapsulate them like, they are always there for me to go back to them. It is kind of a therapy session. Being able to create allows you to move the energy through you and put it into its final, resting place.

Diandra: Was there a song that left you enlightened?

Jennifer: I think “Try”….. I think it showed me that I have to change my entire world and stop being in toxic relationships. It is based on an experience I had with a shaman in New York City. He had me do an inner child retrieval, and, though my eyes were closed, I cried like a big baby. He had me talk to her, and it made me remember like, “Oh Shit!” I really lost my inner child and the promises I made her. I need to love myself and be the girl I want to be.

Diandra: To be frank, I don’t know any one person that has not dropped a whole bunch of people in their life or been dropped by a “relationship purge.”

Jennifer: Well, yeah! I mean part of it is that I needed solitude. I needed space. I needed to be one my own and be okay with myself. I needed time.

Diandra: So how would you define self-acceptance, currently, in life?

Jennifer: I still experience ebbs and flows with my career. Not everything is perfect, and, currently, I am experiencing self-acceptance with my career and its highs and lows. I’m just trying not to get frustrated or lose hope. I am still on my path. I know it is working because I have people that feel my music: my fans and family. I am just trying to stay the course, and not feel bad that I am not where I want to be in life.
