Why do you not like to label yourself as a “Business coach” but more so anything that is related to female activation?

I find that people who consider themselves seekers or entrepreneurs, myself included, don’t want to be put in a box and labeled as one thing.

While I do help people, specifically women as a business coach, I focus more on coaching to activate motivation, to move, to create, etc.  

I found it was the empowerment journey of the self, to take the leap of being self-employed and creating my own life, my own rule book, and committing to it without limiting myself and the expansiveness of my brand.

“It’s a beautiful mission to work with female leaders. Feminine energy and feminine power is available for all of us humans, both male, and female, and all of the above.” - Jennifer

When we say “the permission to be more,” automatically I think being more of yourself, being more confident, more financially successful etc. What does being ‘more’ mean to you? And why is it important?

The permission to be more is a very individual and authentic journey of how it can be interpreted at any point in your life whether it’s in your relationships, business, romantic or self-expression.  

The journey or aspect of moving forward, of unlayering or unpacking yourself is the invitation of self-acceptance and self-expression. A lot of our suffering comes from resistance and a place of fear, so it is the permission to accept yourself more.

What are the needs that you haven’t been honoring? What were the injustices both personally or systemically around you? How do you bring leadership into that game? It all starts with you first.

In Jennifer’s more recent program, she explores the “softer” side of the business which entails a lot more inner work. By creating her own authentic course, she is able to accept herself fully and attract a clientele that resonates with her and together, loosen the burden of the way they were taught to do business.

How would you explain if there is an unknowing of trying to be “more of me?” Is there a way you found to help discover what “more” of me is inside?

There are points in your journey where you aren’t sure what is in front of you but there is an opportunity to be courageous or take action.

For me, when I was in corporate, I knew I was enamored by mysticism, new age, and metaphysical. I couldn’t own the fact that I wanted to be a healer- a title I felt I was far away from so I played it “safe.” Being a business coach was something I was confident in at the same time so that was a gateway to working with the people I want. To assess, know, and get closer to the values that I hold dear to my heart.

“It is a space of allowing yourself to be where you are and accepting.” - Jennifer

This year especially there is an importance on simply educating ourselves on the nervous system, on trauma and healing, and starting to slow down to listen within. Maybe It’s not in the stars for you in this moment, but maybe it will be in 3 months from now.

So, how can you slow down?

Which modalities do you find most effective for beginners who are ‘super green’ to it but want to understand and know more about how to show up more authentically or be able to connect within?

1. EFT tappings (emotional freedom technique) is great for transmuting emotions that you thought you had or didn’t even know you had. Whether it’s on Youtube or with a practitioner, this technique was especially helpful in my first two years and something I leverage in my programs now.
2. Community. Not just in the creation of a community but anticipating where you want to be and putting yourself in that space so you can practice. By practicing, you’re allowing yourself to hone in on your messaging by being vulnerable and that is how you can access your power.

Journal prompt question: What do you want now?

It’s a simple question, I know.

Whether you close your eyes or take a moment, typically, the answer is never what you thought it would be.

What came to your heart? What image or impression? Maybe it’s a need not related to your business at all.

Review, reassess, reflect: Am I taking a step towards that? And if not, how I can start redirecting myself?

For a lot of us as females whether generational or your current life, we have unmet needs because we are trying to honor someone else in our life or circumstances.

Try to seep into your sacral space- your needs, desires, what makes you uniquely you and reflect on what it is that you haven’t been honoring lately. In order for you to act, especially if you find you're not acting and moving on something in your life then arguably there is something we need to realize and move through or at least acknowledge to begin the process.

“I don’t believe you need to heal completely to move forward.” - Jennifer

How do you heal forward and keep moving forward? Acting on it will bring greatness to your life.
