Locked Doors, Opened Eyes, & New Beginnings

From CORPORATE MACHINE To PURPOSE DRIVEN and PRESENT

Would you believe that I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up? As an adult, I was always dedicated to my career but in the end it always felt like just a “job” and I didn’t feel like I was doing enough with my life.

It was past 10pm when I pulled up to my house one night after operating like a machine for most of the day. It wasn't uncommon, but to my surprise this time, was a first.

I had come home to a locked door.

Deep down, I always knew there was more out there for me that I hadn’t explored yet, and this definitely was not it.

Most days, I was stuck on default, working harder for a company than the owners were. And that's no exaggeration. You could find me putting myself and everything connected to me, on the back burner. Family, friends, marriage, kids, health, or even remembering to eat.

Then one special and eye opening night, I came home to that locked door. Realizing that my husband and kids had learned to never know when I’d be home. And there it was, my breaking point. Now, I see that’s what needed to happen for me in order to grow the way I did.

Going From Being Curious To Creating

Eventually, I went from being curious about living a better life, to actually creating it. I began to believe that if I could run 3 departments for a monthly 7 figure business, then I could change my own life.

The change didn't happen when I learned how to de-weaponize the harmful thoughts, and transform them into powerful tools to cultivate new self-esteem, self-love, self-acceptance, and wisdom in any moment.

Once and for all, I learned to finally drop the struggle of enough-ness, comparison, and the vicious cycle that came with it. I was both excited and scared, constantly learning how to unlock the power of my own thoughts and exactly how to create a mind that served, empowered, and encompassed my life, career, & future - as a whole.

Today, I’m no longer a child dreaming of what I want to be when I grow up. I’m a WOMAN deciding everyday who I am and discovering who I get to be. I’m a life coach, an entrepreneur, a mom, a wife, a step-mom, and a daughter. As a woman I’ve decided that these are only roles, and yet, important bits and pieces of the woman I choose to become, and then some.

I’m the woman who’s here to let you know that there is more to explore, become, and experience in your life! There’s more outside of the lane you’ve kept yourself in and there’s more than outdated expectations that have been turned into limiting guidelines to live by.

Hi...I’m Jess, I've become the woman you come to when you’re ready to start your journey.

But How Did I Find My Way? And How Can I Help You?

How did I get here?

How did I decide that coaching was the path that would allow me to do this?

After my own breaking point, I found my own coach that I connected with. This is where the self-work began for me. Working with her helped me take my curiosity and hopes to a new level of action and accountability.

This became pivotal to leaving my corporate career behind in order to fully transition into helping women like myself facilitate this real and necessary change.

Within the year while working with my own coach, I was able to monetize my exit strategy from the company that owned so much of my time. After the buyout of that company, I contacted the new administration, proposed and negotiated a contracted position for what I was already doing. I was confident to know the company transition would crash without me and the knowledge I acquired.

Fiercely believing in myself, I learned to fight for my potential, my value, and my time. With my fists clenched, you can imagine I was floored when my ambitious proposal was accepted pretty easily. This new company saw what I dared to see in myself. They knew what I could bring to the table, what I was worth, and that my boundaries were to be respected. And setting those, was probably harder than asking for more money!

I ended up earning more money in a shorter amount of time than I had ever done with the prior ownership of the company. My self-work led me to find more confidence, more time, and more meaningful relationships at home. I was able to gain a new perspective and set boundaries that I’d never set before.

New Boundaries, New Me

" it would be hard before it was easy, that

I would be confused before I was confident, and that I would be a skeptic before I believed."

I learned that there were other choices that were possible with the redirection of my focus.

In order to have a better life, I had to be willing-to-want the journey ahead of me. Coaching helped me in “wanting to want it” enough to make the change permanent. Wanting to want it meant knowing and accepting that it would be hard before it was easy, that I would be confused before I was confident, and that I would be a skeptic before I believed.

Corporate Leader Turned Certified Life Coach

In an inspirational turn of events, I took the coaching and lessons I learned to the next level with my commitment, training, and certification within The Life Coach School. After doing the work alongside my coach while creating amazing results, I chose the same program that helped her. A program created by one of our shared mentors, Brooke Castillo. It's an exclusive and elite program created for people who take life coaching seriously and want to continue being an example of what's possible by building professional coaching practices with integrity and high ethical standards.

After 6 months of training, I completed my certification while being a present mother, wife, and working full-time in my corporate position! A surprisingly doable task when you're held accountable for managing your mind. I appreciated their guidance, tools, resources, accountability, and follow up. I knew I wanted to utilize this training in order to help more women the way I had been helped. As leaders in the corporate world, we know change is only possible with structure and strategy in place. It was completing an in-depth program on thought-work and coach training that helped me identify the SOP's for the kind of women who need a solid plan to follow.

When clear steps were set out ahead of me, I could focus on one task at a time to conquer any goal I had, which helped me turn inspiration and transformation into a teachable process. In no time I had my first product, The Goal Approach.

And this is where you have found me! At the end of one journey, and the beginning of another. Following my own process of The Goal Approach, I have taken THEE leap of courage. I have officially left the corporate life ENTIRELY. Can you believe it?! Full time Purpose, Passion, and Presence; sacrifice and insecurities are now a thing of the past.

Now, I’m on a mission to help women create the change they’ve always wanted, and I get to be proof that it’s possible.

I'm grateful that you're here. That somehow, you found me. Make no mistake that I've built this for us to be able to find and support each other in this life we get to live. What will you do to make the most of this gift? Well, you’ve learned more about me, I’m ready to learn more about you!
