Jana Sipe Berndt is the blessed mother of three adult children, dog mom to an adorably naughty golden retriever, friend to anyone who can keep up with her fast-paced walks, and talented musician seated most often at the piano. 

She spent the last thirty-five years as a banker, advisor, and friend to many in her small northern Minnesota community. For much of her career, Jana served on numerous community and non-profit boards.

Her life was normal … until one day it wasn’t. Widowed at fifty-two, she was faced with a future she never asked for, didn’t want, and certainly didn’t foresee. 

In her debut memoir Finding Norm, Jana’s honest, faith-filled storytelling will encourage, comfort and inspire you to find resilience in your personal quest towards a more joy-filled life. Finding Norm will leave you with the hope that a new “norm” is possible and worth finding!
