We all have it in us to grow and achieve a better and healthier version of ourselves,
I believe that today’s society and state of the world has programmed us to be reactive instead of proactive in our lives and my goal as a coach is to help people learn to regulate their nervous systems so those looking to find their peace and joy again can actually feel when it arrives!
let's connect!
No matter if you are somebody that has it all in this world but can’t seem to “turn off” and relax or you are somebody that needs to get unstuck and break out of your current fight or flight state of mind, I Am You Lifestyle is here to guide and give you the tools to actually heal and regulate your nervous system so you can in turn help yourself.
Many of my clients have come to me with the same complaint about getting help from doctors and therapists in the past. They say, “ Jen, I’ve been in therapy for years and I am not getting any tools to actually help or heal my anxiety or current state of mind.” I am not here to knock therapy by any means however, I will say that that is why you need a life or health coach along with therapy or in some cases instead of it…
I'm ready to do this!
Not only are my programs curated and guaranteed to change your mindset but also my clients are actually able to receive the education they need to help themselves and stop feeling like a victim to their own mentality or circumstance.
Jen and I actually met back in high school. We grew up in the same city and we both shared tons of mutual friends. As we grew up later on we continued our friendship as social media friends. Often commenting on each other’s photos and life updates, and occasionally reaching out as bigger life events occurred. That being said that is how Jen became my life coach.
Over the span of 6 years, I completely burnt out. I know what you’re thinking, “burn out” sure we’ve all been there and got over it. But there lay my problem, I could not get over “it” by myself. I cannot say I didn’t have a support system, my friends were there for me, my family was there for me, and so was my boy friend of many years. However, no one could comprehend just how burnt out I’d become.
It got to a point where I didn’t have the energy to feed myself, the simple act of showering and getting dressed was a huge chore and undertaking not to mention exhausting which left me with even less energy. No amount of sleep, or “relaxing” which wasn’t actually relaxing, made any difference. My lists of things I needed to get done kept growing, procrastinating was all I could do whilst laying on the couch napping and watching TV mindlessly just to avoid thinking about every single thing on my plate for the day/week/month and year. This all got to a point where I started avoiding my friends from shear exhaustion. The idea of talking to them about anything let alone to hang out drained me. So instead, I laid there letting my responsibilities pass me by with consequences naturally, crying of embarrassment and sadness of the person I’d become and the person I couldn’t get back to being.
This went on for about 2.5-3 years. As much as I explained it to those around me, no one could bring to wrap their head around just how far gone I’d been and how much help I truly needed. That’s where Jen stepped in.
I had seen Jen’s Life Coaching posts online, many of which resonated with me. That being said I would interact with them regularly. Upon doing so Jen would always reply privately in a supportive way, after some time she began bringing up her services to me. That’s when our journey began. Jen truly cares and wants to wake people up to life again especially amidst all the various stimuli and information overload around us in today’s society.
Off the bat, Jen and I dove into everything that’s been going on and how bad it had gotten. She reassured me we would get thru it together. And indeed we did, slowly but surely. Jen really took the time to get to know me as a person and what works and doesn’t work for me. Over the span of our time together I went from barely leaving the house to being up and doing life again by 10am regularly, cooking, cleaning, and surprisingly doing more little things for myself. This in turn turned into me doing more little things for those around me as well. Overall I began feeling like myself again. I wouldn’t say I’m 100% every single day, there are days where I feel like I am back to the bad days, however with all the work we put in, mentally I know that’s far from the case. And I refuse to allow myself to fall back into that physical and emotional state. My body is rejecting that state naturally and that’s exactly what the work with Jen geared me up towards feeling.
Overall, Jen helped me start getting back up on my feet. She truly took the time to understand who I am and how I operate. After each session I left feeling better about myself even if the day or two leading up to it I felt like I hadn’t progressed as much as I/ or we had hoped for that week. As much as I hate when people say what I’m about to say, she made it a safe space for me to be the most vulnerable I’ve ever been, without judgment and with nothing but genuine support and care for me. I can’t thank you enough Jen. I will forever be grateful to have had you be part of my life. I could not have done it without your nurturing and kind soul.
November 19, 2022. The day my father passed and flipped my entire world around. Since my dad’s passing I have went to therapy to deal with my grief but with that something just didn’t feel enough. I still felt so lost. It’s like I lost my dad and I also lost me. Feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, negative, unmotivated and angry all the time. I just couldn’t get out of that funk and I didn’t know how to.
May 2024 I was online researching and looked up anything to see who and what can help me. I came across life coaches and discovered Jen’s page. Did I know what a life coach was? Absolutely not. Did I think she could help me? I sure hoped so! I signed up with her and that night I prayed that she would be my answered prayer for the change and the help I needed.
Fast-forward to today, I must say I did not stumble upon her page for no reason. Jen has helped me in ways I never thought anyone could. When I say I was at my lowest when I met Jen I was deep in the trenches. My time with Jen has given me hope and the chance to be the best version of myself that I never thought I could be. The tools, insight and work she encouraged me to do these past few months has helped me be the best person to myself and my family. I have been able to reconnect my faith with God, strengthen my relationship with my husband and kids and also finally have been able to pour love into myself.
Jen, I cannot thank you enough for the guidance you have given me from the beginning of my journey to be a better, healthier me. Thank you for your authenticity, your kindness and support. I am so excited to see where this version of myself will take me. The glow up is real!! Thank you Jen!
My life coaching sessions with Jennifer began in September 2021 for the duration of 12 weeks. When I began my journey I was feeling somewhat lost on my path. I had 3 young children and was pregnant with my 4th child and knew I needed help with refocusing and reconnecting with myself to continue to grow as an individual person aside from my role as a mom.
Jennifer instantly made me feel like I could open up to her and I always knew she genuinely cared about my feelings, she took notes to help me to remember where I came from and the steps I needed to take for myself to rediscover my inner strength.
Jennifer gave me the tools to help me with my health issues around my pregnancy. She encouraged me to engage in healthy habits, to be aware of the processes of my body. With my previous pregnancies I had gestational diabetes and was expecting it to happen again with this pregnancy. To my surprise and delight, following and using the tools given to me by Jennifer, I was able to circumvent diabetes during this pregnancy.
Jennifer encouraged me to journal each day and she even sent me a gratitude journal which I have been using daily and it has helped me tremendously to stay focused on what is important and to be grateful, happiness begins with gratitude. I love how she included meditations into our weekly sessions, this is something that she discovered about me and then made an effort to include it in our sessions; this showed me how devoted she is to helping others to find their inner peace and wellness.
In my 11th session I had an “aha” moment. The question posed to me by Jennifer was, “What do you want to accomplish in this lifetime?” When I sat and pondered this question it came to me that I wanted to connect with other moms going through their own motherhood journeys and help them to refocus and find calmness in their own lives. I am now in the process of creating a wellness retreat for mothers. I have obtained a business partner and we are well on our way. I truly thank Jennifer from the bottom of my heart for helping me to find my way and to continue to grow as a human.”
Working with Jen has been nothing short of amazing! Right from our first session I knew this was the best choice! I never felt any judgment and was comfortable with Jen, which made it easier to open up and really be honest. She held me accountable (which I very much needed) and if something wasn't working for me, she easily found another way.
By the end of the 90-day program, I had many tools to use in my life and a very open mind and understanding of the power I have within myself. Jen knows her stuff. Every session was full of lessons and action steps. She is the best! I couldn't suggest her more for anybody looking for a life coach!
I was low, really low. Loss on every level had me depressed, afraid, and hopeless. I had never been without hope. Until that first few minutes of talking with Jen… "All you need is within you,” I heard. “Critter brain is hijacking your thinking, making you believe you can’t change because change is thinking beyond where you are now,” said she. “There is a program, and you need to show up and do the work, but I guarantee it will bring you results, get your life back into your control,” and I felt a twinge of the old me bubbling up with….HOPE. I started, with no judgment, shame, or blame; I began to work with Jen. Each time I fell a little backwards, compassion and encouragement met me from my coach. When I rocked through a week with successful outcomes, Jen cheered me, and supported me, with reminders it WAS all within me, and I was showing up to do the work. Yes, but one needs guidance, perspective, and compassion along a path of self-discovery, in changing old thoughts and habits. One needs Jen! I have been blessed working with such an amazingly skilled, knowledgeable, and self-aware coach, and my life has completely changed. Talk with Jen-that’s all you need to do to begin your path, but it takes commitment, work, and the willingness to be raw with yourself and your coach. I cannot recommend Jen highly enough, and I feel completely confident in her ability to guide you, too, towards your next path. Just begin with one conversation…
As a person who suffers from crippling adult ADHD I have seen many therapists, specialists, and counselors through my life. Taking the first part of Jennifer’s program really got through to me a lot more than any of the doctors I’ve seen. It helped me realize my potential as a functional adult, and that no matter how difficult it seems, I can reach it with the right tools. She helped me open a part of myself that I don’t see clearly, she helped me with my nervous system regulation, and that in itself is one of the biggest challenges I face in my day to day life. I’ve always had difficulty controlling my impulses, and my reactions to external circumstances, while doing these sessions I’ve found myself feeling less reactive and more open to seeing other people’s criticisms through a constructive perspective, and realize that I am the one in control of my own emotions, life, and ways of dealing with difficult situations. I am forever grateful for what I have learned and excited to start the second program. Jennifer is so well rounded, and easy to talk to, I would 100/100 recommend her for everyone who feels stuck. She will help plant the seed, and lead you on the path to growing a beautiful flower!
I am a 25 year old Moroccan girl that was depressed, extremely anxious, and pessimistic about life that felt lost for years... Lost between my problems (which I didn't know how to solve) and my goals (which were getting away from me day by day), until I got to know Jennifer, that is when my life changed forever!
At first we met, I was miserable... I had no incentive to even get out of bed, read my schoolbooks, or to face this life at all. I couldn't help but watch myself, my goals, and my life crack and fall between my hands, but when I started my 90 day journey with Jennifer, I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. She worked with me and slowly, day by day; I couldn't believe she was able to bring this tremendous change to my personality and my life. With just a daily routine and a shift of thinking, she lifted me out of the loss I was living in for years.
Despite working from a distance, between the tools she taught me, advice and guidance she gave me, and the tracking of all over the 90 days, but most important: the trust she put in me, and the love and acceptance she gave me, I was able to succeed - finally sensing the taste of life again and coming back stronger, wiser, and determined to achieve my goals, whatever the circumstances and with all the excitement to start another journey on my own! But I could not have gotten here if it weren't for Jennifer helping me. Thank you my guardian angel.
