Hi, I'm Jen V. I'm a lifelong mentor turned software development project manager turned skillful life coach who combines mindset with getting shit done and my infectious belief in you so you can't help but take courageous action towards living your Fuck Yeah Life (what's A Fuck Yeah Life you ask? Right this way...)
I mentor women of all ages how to give themselves permission to acknowledge what they want, believe it's possible, & bring it to life through intentional & purposeful action
I lovingly but firmly challenge the assumptions and beliefs you hold about yourself and what's possible in your life and offer you new perspectives to try on for size
We unravel all the ways society has taught you how to think about yourself...who you should be, how you should behave, what your roles should be, what you should want in life, how you should live your life, what you should be grateful for, etc. and...
...we turn that into unapologetic honesty & deep belief that what you want is possible and find irrefutable evidence to support it because believe me...there's plenty out there when your brain is looking for it
What YOU want, what YOU need, how YOU want to show up in the world, what matters most to YOU
And with that new, exciting vision, we get to work on how to make it happen because belief + action actually make it possible
Know what's super extra cool about doing this work? Younger generations watching you be an example of what's possible when you're loving your life so they can do the work sooner rather than later
Going back to school for the career you've always wanted instead of the one you thought you should have but literally makes you want to poke your eyeballs out?
Writing the novel you can't stop creating characters for in your head even if no one else reads it?
Having the adventure of a lifetime as you retire to the mountains of Ecuador only to finally find YOUR people as you quickly shed 50 lbs. with all the walking you do through city squares full of vibrant, rich culture like you've never experienced before?
Being the woman who's up for anything whether that's learning a new instrument, taking a trapeze class, slinging clay on the pottery wheel, scuba diving in Bali, organizing a retreat, or all of the above because she's a grown-ass woman who prioritizes new experiences & loving her life?
Starting the non-profit that's been on your heart since forever and being a leader in your local community as you do good, important work alongside others who care deeply too?
Becoming a mentor for single moms because you once were a single mom without a lot of support and you know how hella lonely that can be?
Surrounding yourself with deeply rich and meaningful relationships...your ride or dies...that make you laugh so hard you almost pass out and hold you when you cry without judging the reasons why you're crying?
Bringing your full self to how you mom / wife / partner / sister / daughter / friend / leader / whatever else roles you play and seeing your most important relationships thrive...including the most important one of all...your relationship with yourself?
Filling your days with meaning & purpose as you make those long held dreams a reality (like finally putting your art out there?)...the ones you've squashed down as you did all that adult-y stuff?
Riding the waves as a small business owner as you build your team, become the boss you've dreamed of, and create your legacy?
High-fiving yourself while you yell, "Fuck yeah, I did!" as you bust through what you used to think wasn't meant for you time and time again?
what becomes possible when you deeply believe in yourself & unapologetically own what you want?
Your hard won wisdom. Your Never. Fucking. Again. moments. Your desire to leave the world a better place.
I help you design your own, unique version of A Fuck Yeah Life that is boldly & unapologetically YOU and then go after it one courageously tiny or bold action at a time
This is all epic shit my clients have done except Ecuador...that was my mom. I def. get my love of adventure from her!
WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE WHEN YOU USE IT ALL AS FUEL TO STOP FIXING & START DESIGNING THE LIFE YOU WANT?
We've all Been through some shit
Divorce/break-up, shitty childhood, loss of a loved one(s), having an accident, losing your job, receiving a scary health diagnosis, passed over for a promotion, an empty nest, milestone birthdays that have us questioning what the hell we're doing with our life, too many "laying on the bathroom floor crying" moments, life's general fuckery...
We can either let it all define us and drag us down OR we can do the work to rise from the ashes. I choose to rise and if you're here reading this, you do too. I love that for us.
Hi! I'm jen
I help women become their most real, most authentic, most unapologetic, most favorite selves and from that energy, do epic shit & live lives they love the hell out of
MY APPROACH TO LIFE
Living A Fuck Yeah Life is an inside out job which means your relationship with yourself is the most important one so we always focus there first before going outwards
No one else gets to say what your unique version of A Fuck Yeah Life looks like, feels like, sounds like, etc. OR how it fits into your existing life and responsibilities
Who you become along the way is infinitely more important than some mythical final destination
Feelings > action. It's so much less about what you do and so much more about how you feel as you're showing up day to day living your life
Your past does not have to dictate your future because you have a choice each and every moment you're alive. Who you've been has gotten you to where you are now and that in and of itself, is extraordinary. Who you're becoming is just another stunning iteration
Your dreams and desires are on the other side of doing some things differently than you've done in the past and instead of letting this scare you, you excitedly use it to propel you forward
Progress over perfection. Life is going to life...it's how you keep going that defines who you're choosing to be
Life never needs to be "just so" for you to feel deep levels of fulfillment, contentment, joy, meaning, purpose, etc. You are a nuanced creature capable of holding a multitude of feelings, experiences, and truths no matter how sucky or joyful, mundane or exhilarating
You do NOT need to burn everything down to have what you want unless what you want is a clean, fresh start
Stop fixing & start DESIGNING. Decide who you want to be and then decide what actions you're bravely willing to take to become her so you can have the life you want to have.
Be. Do. Have.
Thank you for showing me the mirror and allowing me to finally see and acknowledge the fear that I have been living with. This fear has been so deep that it is literally preventing me from moving forward. It is because of your warmth, kindness, and ability to “go there” with me. You held me in such a safe space that I was able to finally see myself and know that I was going to be okay. You have an incredible gift.
I'M ABLE TO FINALLY SEE MYSELF AND KNOW I'M GOING TO BE OK
"Working with Jen feels like coming home at the end of a long day, whipping off your bra & getting into your pjs, sinking down into a comfy chair with your cozy blanket and a glass of red, and taking the deepest breath you've taken all day...and then she drops an innuendo that has you laughing your ass off...."
