Hidden Gems: Meet Jen DuBois of Jen DuBois Coaching

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jen DuBois.

Hi Jen, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Hello! I’m Jen DuBois, an international certified Life, and Empowerment Coach as well as a lifetime learner with an extensive collection of training and certifications that I use to support and guide my clients in moving forward in the life they truly desire.

I am passionate about empowering women to be the best version of who they truly are with purpose, clarity, confidence, and personal power.

Before I became a certified Life Coach, I was stuck, spinning in circles going nowhere fast! I was busy all the time yet, constantly overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted because I was not moving forward on any of the things, I deemed most important. I would procrastinate, make excuses and avoid. Then, came the guilt and negative self-talk for not doing the “important things”.

I was living on this constant loop day after day for decades. Why was I so indecisive? Why was I striving for perfection when logically I knew there was no such thing? I had so many ideas and so much to offer yet, I could not get out of my own way to take action. I would allow fear to take over and retreat into my not-so-comfortable “comfort zone” and the entire loop would start over again. At the time, my 2 young teenage sons were needing me less and less.

I had always held part-time jobs around my husbands’ career so, I could be at all the boy’s games and events. As they were getting older, I was losing myself because my #1 identity was being a mom. I was 40 years old and felt lost. I had no idea who I really was and what I wanted to be when I grew up. The next chapter of becoming empty nesters was coming quickly and I felt panicked.

I began to take a deeper dive inward and took inventory of all the amazing qualities, skills, tools, talents, and knowledge I had gained over my 40+ years. I have always been a personal development junkie since I was a child and realized I had been using my superpower all along! Looking back, I was always a magnet for people to ask my advice, share their deepest secrets as a trusted confidant, and come to me for support, help, guidance, and kindness. A friend of mine from high school recently told me that I was a life coach 30 years ago before we even knew what that was.

This was my superpower and I had been taking it for granted all of these years! I began to uncover this over the course of the next few years, little by little. I knew I was tired of writing and rewriting the same dream over and over again… I was ready to finally take action. It all took off in 2019!

I had just returned home after flying to Denver to lead a Vision Board Workshop where at the last minute I decided to add the ‘word of the year’ activity into the workshop. I had chosen the word FEARLESS. No reason. It just came to me and I had no idea what it meant until September of 2019. I was attending a women’s retreat in Kansas City and a Fearless Living Coach spoke. It all came together and clicked.

Shortly after that, I started training as a Life Coach. During that process, I uncovered and mastered my own process and learned how to help others do the same.

As a professional Coach, I have had the opportunity to witness my clients going through their journey gaining purpose, clarity, confidence, and personal power. My clients are amazed how quickly things began to shift for them with these newfound skills, and their willingness to commit to themselves.

Fearless Living was my launching pad and I continue to teach those tools as well as others I have learned through additional programs and coaching processes.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My road to becoming a Life and Empowerment Coach has been a long and winding one yet, without the twists, turns, and bumpy terrain I would not be where I am today! A few years ago, I decided to start a business around my love of curating photos in books, keepsakes, and memorials.

I loved working with my amazing clients and the creative process yet, what I came to realize was this was NOT the business I was called to do. My true calling was to become a Life Coach and impact the lives of other women. I learned when you are on your authentic path, magic truly does happen!

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Jen DuBois Coaching LLC?
I help women who are overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with a life transition find their purpose with clarity and confidence to get their groove back!

I specialize in supporting women:

• Gain clarity and focus on who they want to become.
• Establish boundaries and get their voice back.
• Build a foundation for new habits with tools and skills to overcome obstacles that have been holding them back.
• Improve time management and organization by identifying top priorities and core values to align with their best self.
• Understand their unique process to get beyond anxiety, self-limiting beliefs, overwhelm, negative self-talk, and into their personal power to ignite their passion and move forward in their best life.

People tell me what sets me apart is my compassionate heart, my intuitive gifts, and my life journey. I can relate, resonate, and empathize with my clients because I was once where they are now. It’s my greatest pleasure to support my clients and give them hope, courage, and accountability to reach their goals, dreams, and desires one step at a time. My Intentional Vision Boards are a unique and tactile tool to create and anchor their plan of action. These are powerful tools and very different from your typical “vision boards”.

My services include:

• Individual coaching.
• Small Group Coaching.
• Workshops.
• “Fuel Your Fearless Fire”- 12-week small group coaching program to learn your unique process so, you can move from stuck to FREE!
• “Ignite Your Vision”- 4- hour workshop to release the old and, bring forth the new with a variety of exercises to create a visual representation of who you wish to become.

I am also excited to collaborate and work with amazing women and small businesses this year hosting retreats, workshops, and classes! There is magic and synergy when like-minded women come together! I’m really looking forward to sharing some amazing things this year!

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
I believe the Coaching world will explode over the next 5-10 years! I also think it’s extremely important to do your due diligence when searching for a Coach making sure they are certified through a reputable program. I have a Coach and I believe the best Coaches have Coaches.

Coaching is becoming more mainstream and those that have a Coach are thriving vs. surviving especially in these wonky world times we are living in. Coaching has become a wonderful partnership with those in therapy as well and I believe that will continue growing over the course of the next few years.

Therapy works with your past struggles, trauma, etc. where Coaching meets you where you are currently and supports you moving forward. Both provide incredible value and can work beautifully in tandem.

In the next decade, I anticipate Certified Life Coaches being a strong component in corporate America as one of their wellness offerings! I am SO grateful to be of service to those that really want to stop spinning in circles and start living a life they truly desire!
