Jennifer's bio:
Jennifer is the author of Permission Granted: Live Your Life Full of Joy and Peace, a book in which she shares 91 self-limiting beliefs that, as a result of being raised by a narcissistic mother and an enabling father, she learned growing up and realized as an adult that she needed to change to be happy.
She is also the Founder and President of Give Yourself Permission, which helps women create new rules for their lives, so they can overcome limiting attitudes that prevent them from achieving career success and finding happiness.
Jennifer’s narcissistic mother made her believe she was stupid and destined to fail. She had two eating disorders and was suicidal by the time she was 16 years old, and at 23, she suffered from imposter syndrome, which resulted in a psychological breakdown that prevented her from working for four years.
She attempted suicide a few years ago, and when this failed, she decided to turn her life around and is now a successful businesswoman and life counselor who is constantly striving to live the best life she can.
Jennifer is also a light worker, which is a person who has undergone a spiritual awakening and feels as though they are called to have a deeper purpose in this world, destined to help women who have attempted suicide find peace and joy.
Before becoming a transformational coach, she founded Prospecting Works, a successful business that assists salespeople in overcoming cold-call reluctance.
