If your audience craves bold, honest, and wildly engaging conversations about courage, clarity, and building a life that screams HELL YES...
I’m the no-topic-off-limits, truth-with-heart guest they didn’t know they needed but won’t stop thinking about.
I bring deep insights wrapped in humor, real talk grounded in empathy, and the kind of identity-shifting perspective that makes listeners say, “Damn… she just got me.”
Your audience won’t just feel inspired, they’ll feel activated to rethink who they are, what's possible, what they want, and what bold action looks like next.
I'd love to be on your PODCAST or speak at your event!

Speaker. Coach. No-B.S. Transformation & Thought Partner. Jen Vertanen is an expert guide for progressive, impact-driven, RESTLESS women ready to live a life that leaves a mark faster, louder, and unapologetically THEM.

SHORT & TO THE POINT
Jen Vertanen believes legacy isn’t just what you leave behind but how you show up every damn day.
With 30+ years of experience in speaking, coaching, and developing her signature BE. DARE. CREATE. framework, Jen helps high-achieving overthinkers and perfectionists stop stalling, trust themselves deeply, and make bold, identity-aligned decisions that change the whole damn game.
She’s the go-to thought partner for progressive, impact-driven women who are done waiting and ready for more - more joy, more fulfillment, more hell yes moments. Through deep identity work and courageous action, Jen helps her clients become the version of themselves who makes it happen faster, louder, and more powerfully than ever before.
Known for her compassionate tough love, Jen blends truth-telling with empathy, humor with heart, and doesn’t hesitate to drop a well-placed F-bomb while helping women break through the B.S. and own their worth because no more proving yourself required.
Her most important transformation? Rebuilding herself in her 40s from decades of self-loathing and loneliness into the joy-filled, aging-shamelessly powerhouse she is today.
When she’s not helping women create lives and legacies that leave a mark, she’s planning Disney trips, hanging with her husband and old-lady Newfies in St. Paul, sipping dry red wine, and watching The Amazing Race reruns.

values alignment
Black lives matter. Trans men are men & trans women are women. Human dignity & decency is non-negotiable. All abilities are needed. American Exceptionalism & Christian Nationalism are harmful AF. Climate change is real. All genders are valid. Love is love. Abortion is healthcare. No one is illegal especially on stolen land.
If you disagree, my work & expertise is not for you.
the PODCAST
be. dare. create.
Unfiltered, unapologetic, and wildly motivating.
This is your go-to for expert convos, bold strategies, raw, real AF stories that don’t just get you into action…
but help you become the woman who makes it all happen.
