SPECIFICALLY, I LOVE SHARING MY KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, & EXPERTISE ON:

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

Showing up bold, courageous, & unapologetically myself - especially as I get older (I don't fear aging) which helps others give themselves permission to showcase their own boldness

✨ 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

Overcoming decades of loneliness & resentment and how I hit rock bottom even though life was pretty damn good

✨ 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

✨ Finally healing from childhood traumas and going from self-hating TO loving the hell out of myself & my life

✨ Losing both parents 9 months apart and how it unlocked new layers of healing and self-compassion

✨ 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

Meet Jen Vertanen ~ part coach, part consultant, part visionary ass-kicker, and part F-bomb dropping cheerleader. Jen is the strategic meets tactical meets HAVING FUN WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT magical pink-haired unicorn you’ve always wanted but never thought existed.

As the host of "Living Your Best Damn Life One 'Fuck Yeah I Did' At A Time," she's on a mission to turn your "someday...maybe?" into "Holy shit, I'm actually doing it!".

With 30+ years helping folks  - from Fortune 50 behemoths to scrappy start-ups to empty nesters wanting more from life - turn pipe dreams into realities, Jen can help YOU make your Bold AF Visions a reality. She’s your secret weapon against self-doubt, self-sabotage, perfectionism, and believing your inner critic.

Jen is obsessed with stories of old people doing super cool shit (sacred aging FTW!), poorly written smut, and living her best damn life as a homebody in her possibly haunted home in St. Paul with her hubby (they became empty nesters in Fall '23 after 33 years raising babies) and newfs bingeing Amazing Race while also honoring her paradoxical need for people and new experiences.

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 1970 Gen X baby but my kids call me a Millennial and I'm not sure how to take that lol

I love vintage Aquaman and extra 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ smut (hello, Bigfoot 👣), and if you hadn't noticed....I have a thing for b👀bs

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 to be exact) in a cishet marriage with a dude (Mr. V.). He's my person to do life with 💖

I'm a strategic project manager with 30+ years of experience and certified Life Coach. I blend the art + science​ 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 folks 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 🧠 and body 💃🏼 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 here to be one-note

on a more personal note...

I'm obsessed with challenging myself to only give the right 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

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

I rebuilt myself from the inside out (it really was that dramatic) in 2015 and went from hating myself 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

Fuck is my second favorite F word behind freedom. It's just so...🤌🏼
