Hey hey!

I believe the second half of one’s life is meant to be better than the first half. The first half is finding out how you do it. And the second half is enjoying it.

~ Frances Lear

You’ve done everything “right”. You’ve checked the boxes, raised the kids, climbed the ladder, thrown the best birthday parties, traveled, support your friends through life, loved your partner, etc.

And yet…you’re left feeling there’s got to be more.

And you feel kind of guilty for feeling like what you have isn’t enough but…that might be the very thought that’s holding you back.

What if life isn’t about checking the boxes…at all?

What if life is meant to be fuller and richer? What if there IS more waiting for you to decide there’s more?

Do you go after it with the gusto of an overly confident, mediocre white dude? Do you ignore the yearnings and keep plugging away wondering if this is all there ever really is?

What inspires you into action? Is it the loss of a parent or watching a friend recover from a heart attack? A divorce? An affair? A random Tuesday in the middle of winter when it’s grey and dreary outside?

What if you make a powerful decision today that your second half is going to be even better than your first?

What then? What becomes possible in your world when you decide?

Let’s do this; I’m here if you need help cutting through the noise and clutter in your brain.

How Are You Making the 2nd Half Even Better Than the 1st?

Hey there! I'm Jen

I'm a magical mix of coach, perspective-shifting mentor, hair-holder, consultant, wing woman, get shit done'r, silver lining finder, & slightly annoying cheerleader

I used to roll my eyes at the notion of self love and loving my life because it felt so far outside the realm of possibilities when I'd spent decades...not.

But a perfect storm (my Never. Fucking. Again. moments) in 2015 had me wake TF up and heal my childhood ish. Along the way, I started to not only love but LIKE myself and I stopped wanting to escape from my life and instead, intentionally create my exciting future. That's saying a lot when you read my stories!

And now? Living my Fuck Yeah Life looks like helping women all around the world fall in love with themselves & their lives, and create the future THEY want while living & loving the hell out of myself and my life.

How cool is that?!?
