Hi, I’m Jen.
I help ambitious-but-anxious leaders kick imposter syndrome to the curb and own their brilliance—like they freakin' built the place.

I help women become the bold, confident, feminist witches they were always meant to be.

Not because I have all the answers—
But because it took me 52 years to finally ask the right question.

I had role models. I had ambition. I had feminism in my bones.
And I still shrank.
I tried to be “good.” Palatable. Impressive. I twisted myself into someone else's version of leader.
I burned out. I doubted myself. I waited for permission.

So now?
I help you skip the decades of self-abandonment and start where I wish I had:

What do you want?

That’s where your leadership begins.
Not in some five-year plan or polished LinkedIn post—but in the clarity of finally listening to yourself.

Let me back up...

I’m Jen. I’ve worn a lot of hats—author, coach, creative, leader, daughter of a veteran, friend of misfits, mentor to badass women.
I was always the “high achiever” with a rebellious streak. Smart, responsible, put-together... and quietly drowning in pressure to be everything to everyone.

For years, I tried to out-work, out-smart, or out-perfect my way into confidence.

It didn’t work.

What did?
Getting radically honest.
Unlearning the bullshit.
Reclaiming my power.

Now I help other ambitious-but-anxious women stop performing and start leading—on their own terms.

What I believe

  • You don’t need another certification. You need to trust yourself.

  • Imposter syndrome is a lie designed to keep brilliant women small.

  • Burnout isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a warning sign.

  • You are allowed to take up space. Loudly. Unapologetically.

  • Leadership isn’t about having the answers. It’s about asking better questions.

  • You already have what it takes. You just forgot how to feel it.
