Check out all my podcast interviews here...I'm an engaging guest and not afraid to go there (which happens to be the name of my first podcast)
have me on your show
SPECIFICALLY, I LOVE SHARING MY KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, & EXPERTISE ON:
โจ Making your Bold AF Visions inevitable with my unconventional approach to getting shit done that's been fine-tuned over 30+ years as a strategic project manager and years coaching & consulting both personally and professionally
โจ Why we should look to the future instead of our past to start LIVING the lives we WANT and more importantly, I'll share how
โจ Overcoming decades of loneliness & resentment and how I hit rock bottom even though life was pretty damn good
โจ Almost walking away from the one person (my husband) who'd always had my back and loved me no matter what and the subsequent rebuilding myself from the inside out
โจ Finally healing from childhood traumas and going from self-loathing to loving my damn self & my life
โจ Losing both my parents 9 months apart and how it unlocked new layers of healing and self-compassion
โจ And all the stories in between. I'm in my 50s and have a LOT of wisdom and experience to draw from
I'd love to talk!
official bio
Jen Vertanen, Women's Empowerment Coach, Make Your Bold AF Visions Inevitable Consultant, & host of She Gave Herself Permission, loves to talk about all things loving the hell out of yourself as you create your Fuck Yeah Life one Bold AF Vision at a time and brings her 30+ years of strategic project management, coaching, and personal experiences to help women actually make those dreams happen.
Obsessed with stories of older women doing super cool shit, poorly written ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ smut, and being a homebody in her possibly haunted home in St. Paul with her hubby (they became empty nesters in Fall '23) and newfs bingeing Amazing Race despite her paradoxical need for adventure and new experiences.
Jen is fiercely committed to helping women uncover their own unapologeticness and live their Fuck Yeah Lives. Her signature charming awkwardness, bright pink hair, and kimonos elegantly paired with ripped jeans follow her everywhere along with her laughter, love of F-bombs, huge smile, and absolute JOY at feeling truly alive as she brings her own Bold AF Visions to life (if you read Jen's backstory, you know what a big deal this is).

I live in a possibly haunted home built in 1905 in the heart of St. Paul (Twin Cities, MN) with my husband and 2 drooly newfs. We became empty-nesters in Fall '23 and thankfully, still love and like each other after all these years (we did a lot of work on that!)
I'm mama to three adult kiddos. I love them deeply and mothering them helped heal ME from a shitty childhood though motherhood didn't come easily or naturally. I'm a Gen X'er but my kids call me a Millennial and I'm not sure how to take that lol
I love vintage Aquaman and extra ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ smut (hello, Bigfoot ๐ฃ), and if you hadn't noticed....I have a thing for b๐bs
I don't do clutching your pearls, playing the woe is me victim, all the reasons why something won't work for YOU, anything and everything MAGA, or an unwillingness to 'go there'
I identify as queer (pan if we're being exact) in a cishet marriage with a dude (Mr. V.). I love him deeply ๐
I'm a strategic project manager with 30+ years of experience and certified Life Coach. I blend the art + scienceโ of getting shit done; I know how to motivate and inspire people and break big concepts down into teeny tiny actions which is why I not only help women do the work to love the hell out of themselves but also, bring their Bold AF Visions to life
I have an ADHD brain and Type 2 Diabetes. I've done a loooooot of work to make sure my brain ๐ง and body ๐๐ผ stay well-supported though I'm far (far) from perfect
I'm pretty good at making gold from the shit & lessons to learn but I also have an aversion to toxic positivity, love & light, positive/high vibes only. You can miss me with that harmful, gaslight-y bullshit. There's gold in both the light & the darkness and I'm not willing to be one-note
I don't take for granted the privilege I have as a straight-passing, middle-aged, white women from a middle-class background. I have my own shit but don't have to worry about my safety, putting food on the table, being pulled over by the cops, or getting my family's needs met
on a more personal note
I'm obsessed with challenging myself to only give the right amount of fucks which means I protect my energies and boundaries so I can show up in all my roles as the person I choose to be which is kind, genuine, and funny with a lil' tough love thrown in because we're all adults
Fuck is my second favorite F word behind freedom. It's just so...๐ค๐ผ
I rebuilt myself from the inside out (yes - it really was that dramatic) in 2015 and went from self-loathing and trying to escape my life in all sorts of unhealthy ways TO living and loving the hell out of myself and my life. I know intimately how hard this work can be which is why I get so much joy helping others build deep self-belief so they can live their Fuck Yeah lives too
