Clarity and confidence

It was late. My daughter sat at the kitchen table, college brochures spread out like puzzle pieces. I asked, gently, ‘What are you thinking?’

She looked up and said, ‘I don’t know. I feel like I’m supposed to have it all figured out, but I don’t even know what I care about.’

My heart broke a little. Not because she didn’t have a plan—but because she felt alone in the not-knowing.

That’s when I found I Am… Coaching.

Jill didn’t offer a checklist. She offered a compass. She helped my daughter name her values, explore her emotions, and build a path that felt like hers—not one shaped by pressure or fear.

Now, when my daughter talks about her future, there’s light in her voice. Not certainty—but confidence.

And as a parent, that’s all I ever wanted.

My path is clearer

For years, I’ve been juggling work, family, and the constant pressure to “figure out what’s next” in my career. Every time I tried to think about what I really wanted—whether it was a promotion, a new direction, or simply more fulfillment—I’d hit the same wall: I don’t know. Or worse, I don’t have time to think about this.

It wasn’t that I lacked ambition. I was just overwhelmed, stretched thin, and honestly a little disconnected from myself. I didn’t know how to sort through the noise without feeling guilty, selfish, or completely lost.

That’s when I found I Am… Coaching.

Jill understood immediately. She didn’t hand me a checklist or tell me what I “should” be doing. She created space—real space—where I could explore who I am now, what I value, and what I want my next chapter to look like.

And slowly, things started to shift. I began hearing myself again. I started using words like confident, capable, and ready instead of stuck or exhausted. I found clarity in places I didn’t expect, and courage I didn’t realize I still had.

I may not have every detail mapped out yet. But now, I’m not spinning. I’m moving. I’m aligned. And for the first time in a long time, I feel supported—not just by Jill, but by myself.

That has made all the difference.

Turning point

Zach came into my office looking stressed.  He had had discussion about college with his parents and they were pressuring him to make decisions. I asked how he was feeling. He said, ‘I’m scared I’ll pick wrong. I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up yet.’

I’ve heard that sentence more times than I can count.

As a guidance counselor, I see students weighed down by expectations—grades, applications, futures they’re not sure they want. They’re told to choose a path before they’ve had time to explore who they are.

That’s why I recommend I Am… Coaching.

Jill doesn’t just help students make decisions—she helps them understand themselves. Her platform blends emotional intelligence with structure. It’s private, warm, and designed for young people who feel stuck or scattered.

I’ve watched students go from anxious to anchored. From ‘I don’t know’ to ‘I’m figuring it out.’

Zach? He’s still full of dreams. But now, they’re his dreams—not someone else’s checklist.
