Meet Zen…
Zen Howard is an empowerment coach, radio personality, and conscious media creator whose work lives at the intersection of personal development, beauty, wellness, and soulful storytelling. Her mission is simple yet profound:
To guide people back to their power, presence, and personal truth from the inside out.
With nearly two decades in the beauty and wellness industry, Zen developed a deep understanding of identity, self-expression, and confidence. That foundation shaped her belief that true transformation begins internally and is reflected outward through energy, authenticity, and intention. Through empowerment-driven conversations and conscious media, she supports audiences in navigating life with awareness, self-trust, and purpose.
Zen’s journey into personal development began early, inspired by witnessing a loved one courageously heal from anxiety. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with the inner world, the part of us that feels, questions, heals, and grows
and became the foundation of her life’s work.
To date, Zen has coached over 100 individuals worldwide and facilitated transformative spaces, including The Women’s Circle, Jam & Journals Inspirational Circle in Atlanta (co-created with affirmation artist Coax Marie), and collaborations with Black Girls Can Heal in New York. She has also assisted and served as booking manager to affirmation music pioneer Toni Jones, whose work has garnered over 20 million streams and placements with Showtime’s The CHI, Revolt, Forbes, and HOUR Magazine.
Known for a presence that is felt before it is heard, Zen believes energy is our signature — and it was never meant to be dimmed. Her work empowers people to live in full authenticity, rewrite their stories, and consciously shape their reality.
She is the creator and host of The Zen Effect Show, formerly Life Verbs Podcast — a soul-nourishing platform that evolved into a multi-platform conscious media experience spanning in-studio video interviews, audio conversations, and digital storytelling. Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and beyond, The Zen Effect Show continues to serve as a sanctuary for elevation, inspiration, and inner resilience — now amplified for a global audience.
