“Horribly Lovely” - A conversation with Jon Kohrs
Reading “Horribly Lovely” was exactly that…and, I could not stop turning the pages. My conversation with the author, Jon Kohrs, went deep as we talked about his “Horribly Lovely” journey. I will avoid spoilers, but this newly released book may cause you to reconsider many things. I confess to sitting in judgment of people and behaviors that Jon’s writing exposes; from addiction to marital infidelity, he opens the door wide open to us with each chapter. This conversation opened me up to a greater space of love, compassion, and understanding.
Jon shares his personal experiences with shame and an insatiable quest for connection, providing insights into the challenges of being truly present for people we love and the impact of past traumas on current relationships.
We also discuss the roots of addiction, the stigma surrounding suicidal ideation, and the importance of authenticity in sharing personal stories. The dialogue emphasizes the gray areas of right and wrong, the beauty in messiness, and the transformative journey of being human. Join our conversation…

Guest Bio:
With an unconventional approach to writing, Jon is trying to break the norms of how we express ourselves authentically and idiosyncratically with the full originality of who we are as individuals. His writing is dreamlike, symbolic, and even poetic, uplifting the human spirit through the clarity and blunt punctuation of our experience living here together.
His writing is an attempt to weave wisdom from his own unconventional journeys, with the Enneagram, shamanism, and Jungian alchemy, to explore the depth of human transformation. Jon is inspired to investigate how love works in this big bang universe of ours to empower others to bring their own real, honest, and uncomfortable love stories to the world.
Jon balances writing with consulting opportunities to transform companies, teams, and leaders that desire to work in whole new ways. He serves as a designer, coach, and teacher, helping employees grow through the process of transforming ideas into intrapreneurial ventures.
In both the literary and corporate worlds, he’s served as a creative bridge between the personal and transpersonal realms. He is inspired by the shocks that help us unlearn who we think we and the resilience that helps us relearn who we truly are.
