🔥The Subconscious Overhaul🔥
Because the beliefs you don’t see are running the show.

If you’re stuck, spiraling, or second guessing yourself—it’s not because there’s anything wrong with you.

It’s because your subconscious is driving the bus. You think you’re on the bus 🚍 to Disney but you’re actually on the bus from the movie Speed and you’re crashing into all kinds of things and waiting for a hidden bomb to explode. 🤨

This 1:1 session goes straight to the source—clearing the hidden beliefs that are keeping you small, stuck, or burnt out.

We don’t bandaid 🩹 it.
We overhaul it.
And we reignite 🔥your spark and stoke the fire within.

Ready? Drop a 🔥 or DM me “OVERHAUL” to book your spot.

You were trained to save lives, stay calm under pressure, and show strength in chaos.
But who taught you how to carry the emotional weight when the call ends?

After a lifetime in the fire service, I now help other first responders unpack those buried wounds as a trauma-informed coach and hypnotherapist.

You don’t have to carry this alone anymore. Healing is possible—and it starts by sharing your burden.

Let’s reignite the fire within.

Heading south chasing Spring 💐 and the Easter bunny 🐰 with the crew.

Sometimes it’s just a couch day. 👌🏻

Sometimes it’s just a couch day. 👌🏻

Coffee ☕️ in bed, 📕 in hand, 🐕 🐶 cuddled up, sunshine ☀️ casting shadows on the snowmobile trails on the frozen lake. 👌🏻

I’m currently working 3-4 days a week doing fire service curriculum development and spending the 5th day, evenings, weekends working on building my coaching, speaking & hypnotherapy business-which includes running my first online group program once a week for 10 weeks.

And there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

In the past, having so much on the go would’ve overwhelmed me. I didn’t have the capacity for it.

But it’s not just a matter of your capacity to hold new things, it’s also what you’re trying to hold onto or create.

I created this life because I wanted freedom and flexibility. I wanted to decide how much I’m worth and how much I make. (Maybe it’s the nonconformist in me but I never liked that an employer decides your income based on what they think you’re worth.)

Has it been easy? Nope.

I started this business building journey, this dream I was trying to bring to fruition, 7 years ago! 7️⃣!

My first start began in 2018 with teaching body language and nonverbal communications to fire department and municipal staff. (I’d gotten certified as a trainer after studying body language to overcome my social anxiety. And with my background in the fire service, that’s where most of my connections were and where the requests came from-all word of mouth. I was even invited to BC to speak at the fire chiefs conference! Nervous as hell but it was the best presentation I ever gave!)

I also went back to the fire service in 2020 and shelved my dream once Covid hit.

2024 I left the fire service again and threw myself into making my dream happen. I had a bunch more certifications, knowledge and skills and I was gonna make it happen!

Within 6 months, I’d blown through my savings and racked up a bunch of debt and found work again back in the fire service.

But I didn’t give up.

And the determination and perseverance paid off.

I love the women that came together for my first group program and I’m so damn proud of myself for bringing that dream into reality.

And I’m already creating the next one.

Stay tuned…

Three weird & woo things I did to change my relationship with money. 💵

1) Read the classics 📚 (some are old, some are new but are already classics.)

2) Talked to an empty chair 🪑. Something I learned from Gemma Gilmour, and as weird as it seemed, I was willing to give it a try! 🤷‍♀️

3) Used a tool I learned from the incredible hypnotist Paul McKenna that I saw him do in an interview. 👌🏻

(Don’t get me wrong, for the last several months, I’ve also been a lot smarter about spending, cancelling subscriptions I don’t need and saving where I can.)

But things really shifted for me after I brought in the woo. ✨

So much of our money story comes from childhood and the beliefs we picked up along the way. But until you investigate those thoughts and beliefs and realize they’re not written in stone 🪨 and don’t have to be true for you, you’ll struggle to change your relationship with money.

I’m by nooooo means a millionaire (yet) but I’m definitely changing the way I feel about and interact with money, and that’s all the proof I need.

I’m all about trying new things, because you just never know what’s gonna work!

Even talking to an empty chair! 😆

Want to know what books I read? Drop a 📕 below.

Want to know about the chair? Drop a chair 🪑in the comments.

Want to know the trick I learned from Paul McKenna? Go follow him because he’s the genius! 😆

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster day for me as I prepare to run my first online group program tomorrow with a group of 10 amazing women.

It’s taken me two years to get to this point and I’m so freaking proud of myself because I’ve had soooo many starts and stops along the way. 🥴

I’d take a step forward and then what felt like 10 back.

I’d experience success working with new clients and then I’d completely self sabotage. (Last summer I was awarded Practitioner of the Month for HeartHealing®️ (yay!!) and then I left the academy and didn’t renew my certification.) 😳 Fear of failure or fear of success?

I’ve had many times where I doubted myself and felt like an imposter and I even walked away from it all for 6 months and returned to doing work in the fire service while I figured things out.

I’ve gone from survival mode 🛟 where I felt like I was just keeping my head above water to thriving mode where I now have the capacity to do more and hold more.

This journey has tested me in ways I never would’ve imagined but it’s also shown me I’m far more capable than I ever gave myself credit for. 🦸🏼‍♀️

I’ve taken so many of the skills and experience developed in the fire service and I use them to inform my approach in the coaching world, like staying calm in the face of heightened emotions, leading with compassion and integrity, resilience and adaptability, goal orientation and mentoring and development.

A big part of massive growth is also knowing when to slow down and enjoy the moment you’re in and the journey you’re on.

As the sun sets on this day, I’m grateful for every step of the path I’m now on. (And for another gorgeous Kenogami sunset.🌅)

In 2024, I took my first solo trip - to return to Banff and be a team lead for the intensive 10 day Heal Your Life®️Coach & Workshop Facilitator Training run by the incredibly talented @victoriajohnsonauthor @healyourlifecanada.

When I did the training the first time in 2023, it was an incredibly difficult and powerful journey because I was still carrying so much unhealed grief and trauma.

It was also the catalyst for me to begin to follow the path I’m now on. ✨

Returning in 2024 showed me how much I’d grown, the deep healing that had taken place, and how resilient and capable I’d become.

This is why I do the work I do.

I’ve gone from being someone who believed that I wasn’t worthy, that there was nothing special about me, who didn’t connect easily with others, and would never achieve the dreams in my heart and would always struggle in life to someone who has no doubt that I will accomplish every single thing I set out to do, who sees her worth and her value and who knows she’s here to help others find the same in themselves.

This sh*t works, but you’ve gotta be open and willing to do the work.

If you’re ready to take action, Jen’s the name and healing sh*t is my game. 💪🏻

I’ve spent the last two days narrating slides and I gotta tell you, I’m loving it!!! (I know, I’m surprised too! 🤣)

Teaching online can be a challenge but adding your voice, your humour, and your insights takes it to a whole new level.

Even better if you’re on camera too! (I’m not on camera for this particular project but I do enjoy seeing the one speaking if I’m doing an online course and being on camera if I’m the one teaching or speaking.)

Did you know that eye contact creates oxytocin (the bonding hormone) and fosters connection?

Plus hearing someone’s voice and/or seeing their face engages more senses than just having someone read through slides on their own (hello Dale’s Cone of Learning! 😉) which makes for a far better learning experience.

I’m so happy to have stumbled upon the easy joy I feel of narrating slides and presenting content!

It’s another transferable skill I’m taking from life in the fire service and applying to my coaching work. 👌🏻

Use what you’ve got and love what you do! You never know where past knowledge and skills can come into play in your next adventures.

Today’s a narrating slides kinda day! 🎙️

I’m working on the final pieces (yay!) of a huge project for Southwest Fire Academy and I’m nearing the finish line!

It’s amazing how many skills I learned in the fire service (from responding to calls and dealing with all kinds of situations to building engaging courses and content) have helped me out and supports me in building my coaching business.

This is what taking action on my dreams looks like for right now. Doing contract work AND building my business.

One foot in fire 🔥 and one foot in 👠.

If you’re trying to create something new in your life and have moments where you doubt your journey, let me be the one to tell you, it’s never linear and there are no wrong steps.

It all matters and it’ll all come together just like a big ol puzzle. 🧩

Just keep at it.

That image in your mind and dream in your heart that only you can see is there for a reason.

Just keep showing up for it.

I once had a psych nurse tell me that “the cards were stacked against me” because I had childhood trauma, a family history of mental health issues and siblings with drug and alcohol issues, and I was by nature a very anxious person. This was the first mental health practitioner that I’d ever talked to about the childhood trauma I’d experienced. That was back in 2007.

I also had a psychiatrist diagnose me with 5 different mental health disorders (major depressive disorder, general anxiety, social anxiety, ptsd and pmdd) and that I’d likely be on meds for the rest of my life. That was in 2013.

I was also told while in college taking fire protection engineering that women can’t be firefighters. That was in 1996.

I was told by a volunteer fire chief when I asked about joining the fire department that a woman’s job is in the kitchen. That was 1992.

If I listened to the mental health professionals or those in the fire service, I wouldn’t be where I am today and I wouldn’t have achieved all that I have.

🌟 I had an amazing career in the fire service where I did everything from dispatcher to firefighter to public educator to inspector to instructor over the course of nearly 30 years.

🌟I overcame severe social anxiety and went on to speak at conferences, became a provincial fire instructor and taught body language and nonverbal communications to fire department and municipal staff.

🌟 I broke the pattern of depression 2 years ago for good and I’ve gone on to achieve certifications in life coaching, wellness coaching, healing and hypnotherapy, and then built a business based on those skills.

If I’d listened to what any of those people told me, my life would look nothing like it is today.

When the voice on the inside becomes louder and clearer than the voices on the outside, your life truly becomes your own.

Sometimes it’s a quiet voice or an inner nudge that tells you there’s a different way or a better way. And you know that somehow, you’ll find it.

And other times it’s a louder and clearer voice that supports you in making decisions about your life in real time.

Always listen to the voice within. ♥️

Today during ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training), we had the opportunity to role play offering support to someone who’s contemplating suicide.

In the past, doing something like that would’ve meant that I’d get all up in my head worrying about what I’d say or how I said it, or if I said the right thing or the wrong thing. It would’ve triggered a lot of anxiety for me. 😫

But today I realized that I don’t have that old response anymore to situations where I am practicing skills in front of others. 🙌🏻

This is so huge for me because any kind of skills demonstration or testing would’ve caused me so much grief on the past! (Btw, the fire service is full of skills testing with every course you take so trust me when I say I fought a lot of anxiety during my career!)

And when I did the role playing and the instructor had tips for being more direct in my questions, I welcomed the feedback and was happy that others were able to learn from it too.

This is what happens when you feel confident in who you are.

And just for the record, this is also relatively new for me.

Not being afraid to speak up, or take risks, or do something you’ve never done before is a natural byproduct of reconnecting with the truth of who you are, and it’s honestly a pretty damn cool feeling.

And even if the odd thing comes up, (like when I shared something personal and then had a brief moment where I wondered if I overshared 😬 lol), I’m able to easily dismiss the thought and be present again.

This is why I’m so passionate about the work I do. I’m a living example that it works.

PS I highly recommend the ASIST training whether you’re in emergency services or not. It’s like first aid training, everyone should have it.

This is so huge for me because any kind of skills demonstration or testing would’ve caused me so much grief on the past! (Btw, the fire service is full of skills testing with every course you take so trust me when I say I fought a lot of anxiety during my career!)

And when I did the role playing and the instructor had tips for being more direct in my questions, I welcomed the feedback and was happy that others were able to learn from it too.

This is what happens when you feel confident in who you are.

And just for the record, this is also relatively new for me.

Not being afraid to speak up, or take risks, or do something you’ve never done before is a natural byproduct of reconnecting with the truth of who you are, and it’s honestly a pretty damn cool feeling.

And even if the odd thing comes up, (like when I shared something personal and then had a brief moment where I wondered if I overshared 😬 lol), I’m able to easily dismiss the thought and be present again.

This is why I’m so passionate about the work I do. I’m a living example that it works.

PS I highly recommend the ASIST training whether you’re in emergency services or not. It’s like first aid training, everyone should have it.

Last September, I found myself feeling burned out 😔 from all of the things I was trying to do and build and create in my business and realized I had to step back.

(Burnout was a pattern I’d experienced in my job as a fire instructor and I didn’t want to continue down that path again.)

So I took time away to focus on taking care of myself and to work on some other projects, but my heart ♥️ has been leading me back to my soul work and I couldn’t be happier!

If you’ve done a HeartHealing™️ session with me before, or if you wanted to but didn’t get a chance, or if you’ve never heard about it and are curious, I can’t wait to hear from you!

Sessions are normally $555 but since I’m returning to the work, I’m offering sessions at $333 for 3 people.

Hit me up if you’re interested! ♥️

My adventure continues….🥴🤣

My adventure continues….🥴🤣

Life’s been a little crazy 🤪 lately but I’m here for it.

I left home last Wednesday to come to my daughter’s and help out with the baby while she and her husband were sick. (That in itself is a biggie because I’m such a homebody and if I’m going to be away, I generally keep it to a week. Thanks to my previous job, I got comfortable with being away from home way longer than I was comfortable with.😅)

But then I got sick 🤢 and not only was I no help with the baby, it took me days before I got my appetite and energy back. 🥴

But like anything else, it passed and I got back on my feet and have been getting in some babysitting time with my wee babe Ellie.

I’ve also been working on completing the final steps of a fire 👩‍🚒 service training project, I’m launching two 10 week courses - one is online and the other is in person - and I’m about to head to Mississauga for two days of suicide prevention training with @bootsontheground__ .

In the past, having all this on the go would’ve sent me into overwhelm and I would’ve defaulted to my “cancel everything” stress response. 😣

But now? Not a chance.

Do I still feel a little bit of the… 🫨…”whew! I got alot going on…maybe I need to take a moment here…”? Totally! 😅

And you know what I do when I feel that way?

I remind myself that any discomfort I’m feeling is just 𝚐𝚛𝚘𝚠𝚝𝚑 𝚒𝚗 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎. 🙂

And then I let myself sit with it, and eventually the edges soften, and my capacity for holding more expands.

I remind myself that I do have a lot going on and these are all good things and I’m doing stuff I’ve never done before.

Acknowledging this is huge because the way you talk to yourself determines the direction you go in and being compassionate and supportive will get you where you want to go way faster than beating yourself up ever will.

So if you have a lot going on and you’re feeling a little whew! yourself, try just taking a pause, sitting with everything and see if the edges soften for you too.

Being kind to yourself in thoughts and actions is such a powerful gift you give yourself anytime you feel a little 🥴 and it’s how you expand your capacity to hold more of all the good stuff!

No more hiding. 🫣

No more sitting on the side lines. 🙅🏼‍♀️

It’s time you start to play the lead in your life rather than a supporting actress or even worse, a nondescript extra.

You know you have potential but you’ve lost connection with who you are so you struggle to even know what makes you happy.

Or to remember what happy actually feels like.

You want the confidence to try new things and take risks and not be afraid to fail.

But confidence comes from who you are not what you do, and it happens naturally when you know who you are.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, learn to trust yourself in order to make decisions and take action and have that confidence to finally do the things you’ve been quietly dreaming of doing, then you’re a perfect match for my upcoming 10 week online group program.

It’s time to stop living someone else’s version of your life and start living your own, exactly the way you desire it to be.

You’ll know it’s your life because you’ll feel passionate and purposeful no matter what you’re doing. You’ll feel present and engaged instead of disconnected and empty.

This will be a journey to releasing old wounds, clearing relational attachment patterns, finding lost pieces of yourself and healing your heart.

You’ll find yourself setting small goals, achieving them and creating momentum to go for bigger goals and dreams.

Life will start to feel happier, more relaxed and joyful because you’ll be creating long term, sustainable change from within.

If this sounds like you, join me and a small group of women who are seeking the same thing for this beautiful and powerful 10 week program.

✨ 10 weekly recorded zoom calls
✨ private fb group
✨ q + a support
✨ meditations
✨ deep healing
✨ conversation, connection, community
✨ based on the work of Louise Hay and yours truly
✨ plus a surprise added guest session

April 2023 I went to Banff, Alberta to do the intensive 10 day Heal Your Life®️Coach and Workshop Facilitator training, and let me tell ya, I had no idea what I was in for!

I’d done a lot of self work over the years and I was surprised to see I still had SO much I was carrying. 😕

At the end of the first day, our lead trainer said she didn’t think I’d make it back for the second day never mind all 10.

And honestly, neither did I. 😫

But, if there’s one thing I am it’s determined and so I did the only thing I could do and that was to just keep showing up.

And it turns out, that was enough. 🙂

I kept unpacking stuff and letting it go, I opened up to the love and support of the people around me, and I leaned into and loved practicing my new coaching skills and I had an incredible life changing experience.

And thank god my husband had gone with me because if it wasn’t for his support and encouragement every evening after class, I’m sure I would’ve given up and gone home.

That experience left such an impact on me that I went back the following year and got to be a team lead! But that’s a whole other post for a different day. ☺️

I was so inspired and motivated after the training that I couldn’t wait to start working with clients when I got back home.

And yet, the reality is that it’s taken me until now to do it.

Sometimes things just take time. Turns out I still had a lot of healing and growing to do and that’s just been part of my journey. And I’m totally ok with that. I believe that things happen when the time is right for them to happen.

And sisters, that time is now! 🥳

So if you’re curious about all this, or if you’re a lover of Louise Hay’s work, or if you’re ready for your own beautiful, soul soothing, heart opening, healing and growth experience with an intimate group of kindred spirits, come join me for my upcoming 10 week group program.

I’m running it online starting April 8 and in person if you’re in the Kenogami, Ontario area starting April 9.

This is what you’ve been waiting for. Time for you to take care of you.

And this experience is here waiting FOR you.

Happy Birthday to the one who’s seen me at my highest highs and my lowest lows, the one who’s willing to go on all my wild adventures with me, and the one who holds my heart in the palm of his hands. You are an incredible human, a proud papa, a loving family man, a phenomenal fire chief, an amazing sourdough maker and I’m blessed to walk through life with you. And even though this is the first time we’ve been apart for your birthday in the 18 years we’ve been together and I’m not there to celebrate with you, at least I remembered to get you a gift before I left. 🤣 @fireguy_1 Love you baby!
