SHORT & TO THE POINT

Jen Vertanen believes that legacy isn’t what you leave behind but how you show up for yourself and others daily.

With 30+ years of experience speaking, coaching, and developing her signature BE. DARE. CREATE. framework, she helps high-achieving, overthinking, perfectionists stop second-guessing, trust themselves implicitly, and make fearless decisions that change the whole damn game when it comes to their life and the legacy they're creating.

A master of compassionate tough love, Jen isn’t afraid to drop an F-bomb (or three) while guiding women to break through their own B.S. and take bold, messy, courageous action without continually trying to 'prove' yourself.

Additionally, Jen rebuilt herself from the inside out after decades of self-loathing and loneliness into the unapologetically joyful, aging shamelessly powerhouse you see today.

Jen blends joy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of “get over yourself because the world needs your magic” energy into everything she does.

When she's not helping others change the world, Jen loves planning Disney trips and cozy nights at home in St. Paul with her hubby and old-lady newfs, watching reruns of Amazing Race and a deliciously dry bottle of red.
