About Me
Hi, there!
You are a strong, smart, capable woman. By all outward appearances, you’ve got your life together and know exactly where you’re going, but on the inside you’re starting to feel more stressed, resentful, and unhappy. You’ve got a sinking feeling that, even with all your success, you’ve just been going along with what other people want you to do. There has to be something more…right?
If this sounds like you, I am so glad you’re here. You’ve found the right place.
I want you to know, I see you.
-
You're starting to second guess every decision you make
-
You judge yourself based on what everyone around you thinks of you
-
You tie yourself in knots trying to be perfect, all the time
-
You say "yes" to everything, even those things you know you don't want to do
-
You are starting to feel resentful for having to do everything for everyone
-
You have zero time or energy to take care of yourself
-
You don't have any idea what YOU want your life to look like
-
You feel stuck
-
Your stress is settling in
Take a deep breath. I can help.
I'm Jean.
I'm a recovering perfectionist-people-people-pleaser and certified life coach.
I've been where you are and one thing I know for sure, it's not a fun place to be.
It's my passion to help strong, capable women, like you, figure out what you want, why you want it, and what you need to do to get it so you can...
Get crystal clear on what you want in every area of your life
Create your perfect, healthy life fit
Have a roadmap that shows you exactly what you need. to do to achieve your goals
Trust your decisions and believe in your own skills and abilities
Feel confident about yourself, regardless of what others think
Let go of the constant pressure to be perfect
Say "no" to adding things to your plate that you don't want to do
Set boundaries to create the time and energy you need to take care of yourself
I bet you’ve tried a lot of things...
You’ve probably tried to just ignore those pesky thoughts of “there’s got to be something more” and those unwanted feelings of stress, dissatisfaction, and resentment.
You’ve doubled down on your quest to be perfect and your determination to do it all. You’re probably trying really hard to make people like you because, when people like you, when they ask “how do you manage to do it all?” you feel better about yourself, if only for a moment.
You keep saying yes to the piles of work that keep getting pushed at you; the meetings and get-togethers and lunch dates and after work drinks that you don’t really want; the carpool duties, PTA meetings, and playdates; the projects, volunteer opportunities, and events that you only do because you feel like you “should”. You keep saying “yes” to all the things you think you “should” even though they take away your time and energy from the things YOU want and need.
You've felt guilty about these thoughts and feelings you try to push away. You’ve probably thought to yourself, more than once, “what’s wrong with me? I’ve got a good life. Family and friends I love. A job that’s good enough and pays pretty well. A vacation once or twice a year. Why do I feel like this? Why does it feel like something is missing?”.
Here's the deal...
You’ve tried to act like those feelings aren’t there. But they’re like grains of sand that have gotten stuck in your flip flop. Once you notice them, you can’t unnotice them. And eventually, you’ve just got to stop, take off your shoe, and take care of those grains of sand.
When you’re feeling stressed, dissatisfied, resentful, and pretty sure there’s got to be something more, getting rid of those grains of sand means:
-
Getting clear on your goals and creating your healthy life-fit
-
Building your confidence so you can let go of perfectionism, and people-pleasing
-
Taking back time and energy that allow you to take care of your own needs
I know. Because I’ve been there. I’ve been right where you are.
I’ve felt the guilt of questioning if “good enough” was really good enough.
I’ve felt that little hit of fear at the thought of maybe, possibly wanting something different. What would that mean? Would I have to completely turn my life inside out to find what I was looking for?
I’ve felt the overwhelm that came with trying to figure out where I should even start.
I’ve felt the frustration at my wheel-spinning and self-sabotage as I tried to make the changes I knew I wanted, and needed.
And, I’ve felt the elation at achieving a long-sought after goal that once seemed so out of reach.
I felt my confidence grow every time I made a decision or took a step towards something new, something better.
I’ve felt the connection with my family and friends improve the more I took care of myself.
I’ve felt the freedom that came with letting go of trying to please everyone and be perfect in everything.
I’ve felt the joy, gratitude, and appreciation for finally figuring out who I am and what I wanted.
Today, I’m not just a formerly perfectionist-people-pleaser who wasn’t sure what I wanted, I am a certified life coach, credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), who believes women deserve to feel empowered, confident, valued, and happy in their own lives!
I am living proof that you can learn to let go of other people’s opinions and expectations and embrace what you really want and who you really are. You can do it in ways that are big and small. You can do it without upending your whole life, unless, of course, upending your whole life is what you want to do.
Fun Facts...
Want to know a little more about me? Here’s some fun facts…
-
I’m obsessed with dolphins, pelicans, and sloths (and may be part mermaid 🧜♀️)
-
My husband has banned me from any pet finder websites - I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love and want to take home!
-
In acting school, I was in a show where I was on stage (for more than a hot second) in my bra and underwear (oh, to have the confidence of a twenty-something 😆)
-
On my 9th grade trip, I set off the smoke detector in the bathroom of an airplane by using too much AquaNet hairspray (in my defense, big hair was important back then and I wasn’t about to make a bad impression my first day in Washington DC)
