Jen began coaching over 20 years ago as an acting and performance coach while pursuing a creative career on stage and screen. For the last decade, she’s mentored and empowered entrepreneurs and business owners while building multiple businesses of her own—including a top-performing direct marketing company and a female-focused creative studio.
At her core, Jen is a teacher, a strategist, and a fierce believer in women supporting women. She knows life can be hard—but we don’t have to do it alone. Her coaching combines personal grit, business acumen, and deep empathy to meet women exactly where they are and help them rise.
In 2023, Jen expanded her expertise by earning dual certifications in Health and Life Coaching through the Health Coach Institute, a CCE-accredited program by the International Coaching Federation (ICF*)—further grounding her work in proven tools for sustainable change and emotional well-being.
My bio bullet points would say stuff like this:
I’m a mom to one incredible kid after a 10-year journey through infertility and adoption.
I’m a “heart mom.” (If you know, you know.)
I’ve been married to my husband for 20 years.
I spent over two decades in Los Angeles—and just moved back to Chicago, where I grew up.
I’ve acted on stage and in TV shows you’ve heard of, and indie films you probably haven’t.
I co-founded a creative studio where I empower artists and produce female-focused projects.
I co-created a blog that invites women to share their “hard.”
I’m a serial entrepreneur (with the receipts).
I grew up working in my family’s health and fitness business—entrepreneurship is literally in my blood.
I’m in pre-production for a podcast: The Unexpected Way—real stories of the messy, magical road to and through parenthood.
I LOVE mentoring, coaching, and being your personal pep rally
