"Jenn is skilled at opening the doors and peeling back the layers so that I could access the answers."
Dana A., Greenville, TN
“I would highly recommend working with Jenn. I have full responsibility for an aging parent, and it has become difficult to deal with. As an only child living far away, I felt a lot of guilt, stress and helplessness. Through my work with Jenn, I was able to come up with some ideas and strategies to help. To be able to know that I have it in my control and to have someone to help me through the challenges was really great. Awareness is the first key, and Jenn is skilled at opening the doors and peeling back the layers so that I could access the answers. I found working with Jenn to be incredibly rewarding.”

I Wish I Knew What to Do for My Parents...
Can Coaching Help?
Maybe you want to help your parents downsize, but attempts to declutter inevitably result in your mom giving you things you don’t want or need. You can’t refuse them without upsetting her, but you can’t accept them without feeling frustrated and resentful. How do you handle this?
Maybe you believe that caring for your father, who suffers from dementia, has become too difficult for your mother and, despite her protests, you think it’s time to move him to an memory care community. You want to respect her feelings, but you’re concerned about their safety and well-being. How hard do you push? And what if your siblings disagree with you?
Maybe you dread visits with your parents because their house is always 95 degrees, and the TV is permanently set to their favorite news station (at full volume!). You love them and know they won’t be around forever, so spending time with them is important to you — you just wish you enjoyed your time together more. Isn’t enduring miserable visits better than staying away and feeling guilty about it?
These are complicated issues, and there are no right or wrong answers! Your friends may be quick to offer advice, based on their own experiences, but it’s not necessarily the best advice for you.
The Good News Is.... You Can Find a Solution YOU Feel Great About!
You can’t control what your parents and other family members say and do, and there will always be circumstances you can’t change. But you DO have control over your own actions and reactions. And by shifting your approach, you have the power to find the solutions that are best for you and your family. There’s no need to settle for “the lesser of two evils” – there are tools, strategies, and methods you can use to come up with the right answers for you, and I can help you find them.
My job as a coach is NOT to tell you what to do. My role is to partner with you, creating a judgement-free space where we’ll meet for 45-minute sessions via phone or video conference, for as many sessions as you choose to book. Clients often find that nine sessions over a three to four month period is ideal for a deep dive, while fewer sessions may be perfect for addressing a very specific situation. Together, we’ll define specific goals and consider options for approaches and actions you can take, and we’ll develop an action plan to help you achieve those goals.
You’ll receive all the support you need as you put your plan into place, discovering what’s working and what you need to tweak. You’ll walk away with newfound insight and tools that will not only serve you in your current situation, but that can bring you more joy in all areas of your life.
Imagine the Possibilities!
It’s natural to think that dealing with others would be easier if they understood us better, if they appreciated us more, if the circumstances were different, or if we knew what the future held in store. What if you could feel great about the choices you’re making, knowing that you’ll stand behind them despite these challenges? When you feel better about the part YOU’RE playing, setting and maintaining boundaries becomes easier, difficult situations feel manageable, and thoughts of the future bring excitement. Ultimately, everyone benefits.
Replace Overwhelm with Clarity
Imagine that, rather than feeling like you have to either give in or suffer the consequences, you take a deep breath and realize there’s an option that allows you to take care of yourself, while still supporting the people you love.
Discover the Connection You Want
Imagine that, rather than the frustration of constantly being at odds with each other, you smile with the satisfaction of feeling like you’re on the same team.
Truly Enjoy Your Time Together
Imagine that, rather than bracing yourself for a stressful visit and preparing to bite your tongue, you realize you’re actually looking forward to spending time together, laughing, chatting, and enjoying each other’s company.
Why Work With Me?
Throughout my life, I’ve been passionate about helping people feel more connected to their family members, significant others, friends, and co-workers, and I’ve incorporated that passion into the various jobs, roles, and positions I’ve held. Several years ago, as I approached life as an empty nester and contemplated what the next chapter of my life would look like, I wondered whether I could make this “what I do,” rather than just a byproduct of something else.
I’ve had a lifetime of experience with relationships, and I’ve supported loved ones through major transitions in recent years. Through losing my dad to Alzheimer’s and helping my mom with a move that involved major downsizing, I’ve learned a tremendous amount about myself and about how important it is for me to feel good about what I’m bringing to these relationships.
I found myself noticing, while chatting with friends and acquaintances, that many other people were struggling with situations similar to mine. I felt good about being able to share my experiences, but I wanted to be able to offer more. Because talking with a coach helped me to sort through my feelings and figure things out, I knew the value of working with a professional.
I enrolled in a coach training program through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) where I received my certification as a Professional Coach and also as an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner. I now help give others clarity and confidence on their own journeys with aging parents, partnering with them to create plans that work. I would be honored to work with you!
