Brenda Scott Wlazlo:

Actor & Audiobook Narrator

"Jennifer's coaching is a game-changer! Like many artists, I have a lot of education and experience in creating my product and very little in doing business to support it. Because of Jennifer's background and expertise, she immediately helped me build a framework for my business approach and helped me identify clear and approachable steps I can take to increase my income and the quality of projects I'm hired for. Her exercises gave me a clear insight into what works for my business and where I should focus my attention to grow. I can't recommend her enough!"

Tina Wolstencroft:

Audiobook Narrator

"It’s been really challenging for me to both figure out what fulfills me creatively and then also build a strategy to fulfill me financially in the constant hustle and bustle of life. After my first session with Jennifer, she has helped me to discover what truly sparks the most joy in my work and which tools can help motivate me to be more thoughtful, find confidence, and feel empowered when making decisions about my business. Her experience, attentiveness, and guidance has been very comforting to me while I tune-in to what I truly enjoy doing, make my vision board a reality, and what I need to better take control of my business by putting on my freaking bossy pants."
