Welcome to LIVING with Jacquelyn!
We offer family, couples, and personal life coaching, and we are passionate about helping our clients feel empowered to envision the life they want to live and grow towards that vision.
​
We believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, but sometimes, we need a little help to get there. That's where we come in.
​
We believe that self-empowerment is one of the most important keys to success. When you feel empowered, you are more likely to take action and achieve your goals. We will work with you to identify your strengths, opportunities for improvement, and goals and create a personalized plan to help you achieve them.
We also believe in the power of vision. When you have a clear vision for your life, you are more likely to stay motivated and on track. We will help you envision the life you want to live, and then we will work with you to create a plan to make it a reality.
Additionally, we believe in the power of growth. We know that change is not always easy but essential for growth. We will support you through the challenges of change and help you grow into the person you were meant to be.
​
We are committed to providing our clients a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where you can be yourself and share your dreams. We believe everyone deserves to be LIVING the life they envision, and we are here to help you make that happen.
Personal/Individual Life Coaching
Are you someone who is constantly putting the needs of others before your own? A mom who feels like there are not enough hours in a day to get everything done? Do you feel like you don’t have enough time for yourself? Do you feel like you need to catch up on some of your interests, dreams, and goals? Maybe you're experiencing empty nest syndrome or feeling lost in the hectic daily shuffle of work or kids.
Whatever the reason, you're not alone. Many people need help organizing their lives in order to feel comfortable prioritizing themselves and making not only time for the things they need to do but also the things they want to do. This could feel challenging, especially when other demanding commitments exist.
Taking time for yourself, reorganizing your life, and rediscovering yourself is essential. You deserve to be a priority. You deserve to care for yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You deserve to have time for the things you love. And you deserve to feel good about the life you’re living.
I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and, dare I say, a little disconnected from self. But I also know that it's possible to redefine that priority list and put ourselves at the top. After learning this for myself, I now know what it feels like to make myself priority number one and feel confident and worthy of doing so.
As a personal life coach with lived experience in this area, I would work with you to help you reconnect with yourself and make yourself a priority again. Together, we can explore ways for you to set boundaries and create time for your needs so you can live the life you envision.
As your certified personal life coach, I would assist you with:
• Identifying your values and priorities.
• Setting goals for yourself.
• Create a plan to achieve your goals.
• Overcoming obstacles.
• Creating boundaries.
• Building confidence.
It is our pleasure here at LIVING with Jacquelyn to be able to assist you with reaching your goals and your life's vision. We will be with you throughout each step of this coaching journey as you feel empowered to start LIVING the life you envision.

Family Coaching
So many of us envision creating family life often in a romanticized way. When it doesn’t seem to be turning out quite like what we’ve envisioned, we try different methods to reach that vision; read numerous books, scroll through an abundance of professional social media posts, and try many other techniques in hopes that we find information or inspiration on how to reorganize or change the path that we somehow, unknowingly, moseyed our way onto. When we don't get the desired results, it can get a bit frustrating, stressful, and sometimes flat-out discouraging.
We deserve to have a vision for our family. We deserve to have a vision for ourselves within that family. When the vision is not being reached, we deserve to be able to reach out for assistance that would enable us to succeed.
I remember, many times early on while raising my family, how the feeling of depletion or deflation hit me. I had a vision for how I wanted my family to feel and function and how I wanted to feel personally. But let's be honest, family life moves like a flash of lightning sometimes, and the thought of slowing down to reorganize can seem daunting and unrealistic.
One day, I finally decided to hit the pause button. Sitting frustrated, I said to myself, if I am not good, if I am not creating the space I need in this family to feel fulfilled, to feel joy, then it was going to be pretty tricky and unrealistic for me to help create that space for anyone else in my family. I decided to put myself as my priority; focus on me! It took a lot of trial and error. Unfortunately, life coaching was not well-known in the early 2000's. I may have just totally aged myself there with that.
Once I created a plan, got the hubby and family’s input, and then readjusted the plan, there was no turning back. Of course, there was much readjusting along the way, but because we were communicating about a mutual goal and vision, it empowered us to communicate and move differently; we were all being heard.
This amazing experience with my own family empowered me to implement specific strategies with my actual business, which was like my extended family.
Throughout the last 20+ years of partnering with families through my Family Childcare business, I have learned that each family's needs are as unique as the family itself. I have learned that listening to parents without judgment is necessary. I have learned that creating a trusted space to share is imperative. I have learned that being of service to others allows for a space for an abundance of growth.
That’s why our partnership excites me. Knowing that another family will get the chance to grow and reach its vision is truly awesome. In our time together, we are able to share and collectively put a plan of action in place that is personalized for your family and the specific vision you have. A plan that will not just bring your vision to fruition for now but will provide you with the tools you can take with you as your family grows.
As your certified family coach, I will help you to:
• Identify your priorities and create a plan to achieve them.
• Develop practical time management skills.
• Delegate tasks to your family members.
• Create a system for managing your household and keeping it organized.
• Learn how to set boundaries and say no without feeling guilty.
• Find ways to rest, relax, and recharge.
We will also partner together to identify ways to:
• Reclaim your identity as an individual.
• Build your confidence and self-esteem.
• Find your passion and purpose in life.
You may have a vision for your family that requires all of these above, you may be envisioning something different, or you may not have a vision for your family right now at all, and that's okay. That's the benefit of partnering with me as your Family Life Coach. We will work together to help your vision become clearer for your family. We will create the personalized plan that is just right for you and implement realistic strategies for your family, empowering the family to reach their goals and start LIVING the life you all envision.

Couples Coaching
Are you looking for ways to improve your relationship? Do you want to feel more connected to your partner, both emotionally and physically? Do you want to communicate more effectively with your partner? Do you want to feel more cared for, maybe even more of a priority? Are you looking for ways to better create and manage your work-life boundaries?
Many couples find themselves in these situations at some point in their relationship; I know my husband and I sure have. Being married for 25 years, I can say that we have grown immensely in each of these areas. There were times when he was better in certain areas and times when I was in other areas. It took a lot of trial and error for us; our resources were limited.
Couples coaching was not as popular or well-known early in our marriage, so we were winging it; we were on our own. I can’t help but think how beneficial it would have been at that time in our lives to have access to a couples coach. Couples coaching could have provided a safe and comfortable space for us to develop better communication skills and a clear mutual vision for our marriage.
That is exactly what I, as a couple’s coach, hope to have the opportunity to assist you with—helping you spend more of your time in growth and moving toward your vision for your relationship. With couples coaching, you can learn techniques and gain tools to create a strong, fulfilling relationship.
Couples coaching can help you and your partner identify the areas in your relationship where there’s an opportunity for improvement and develop a plan to strengthen your communication, boundaries, conflict resolution, and intimacy.
