Feeling Powerless?
What Can You Control in the Midst of the Uncontrollable?
How are you doing? Really?
As things around us continue to be uncertain, I feel anxious most of the time. When I need to venture forth outside of my personal bubble, that anxiety increases.
As the media, social and otherwise, would have us believe, we are far from safe and mostly powerless. This has tripped my survival instinct into hyper-drive. Thoughts of the future makes me nervous. I try not to let myself project too far into it.
I know that feeling powerless makes me feel like a victim. So, I ask myself, what can I actually do to help myself?

Hi and Welcome!
I am Jennifer Washington, a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach, as well as an Integrative Mental Health coach. I'm the creator of What Now Life Coaching. I have run many Vision Board Workshops and Connections Groups and has been coaching 1:1 for over 10 years. |
Why I Became A Life Coach
A few years ago I woke up inside myself. Some would describe it as a mid-life crisis or a meltdown. I knew I needed help, but I didn’t know how to start. The closest I could come to activating a search engine investigation was “What Now?” I came to a cruel realization that I had done everything I was ‘supposed’ to do and I was miserable.
Fast forward to the present, after Life Coaching entered my world. I now describe that melt down as my awakening. I’ve discovered my inner guidance, how it works and I can teach you!
If you are at a point in your journey where the most resounding question you have is “What Now?” please email: coachjenniferwashington@gmail.com

"I think what you do when you are listening to me during our sessions is listening for meaning behind the stories...the content is kind of the 'noise.' I see now I have choices in my life (therefore freedom), to make the best ones I can with what I have, to take responsibility for outcomes, 'forgiving myself. Letting others make their own choices. Having a choice about how to feel about outcomes. Not taking responsibility for other people's choices. You do good work, Sistah!

I never thought I was the type of person that would ever need or want a life coach figuring I could always sort out everything by myself - that was what I had always done.
I had a certain amount of pride in that. However, my life was starting to unravel, a little bit at a time. I was starting to wonder who I really was and how the rest of my life was going to play out. Even more importantly I could feel I wasn’t living a very authentic life and was definitely not living to my potential. Nor was I living the creative life that I yearned for. I had several projects on the go, some failing, some barely started, but nothing felt right. I knew I wasn’t moving in the right direction. And really, on a whim I called Jen. What could it hurt I thought? The truth is it didn’t hurt, and it was easy compared to how I was trying to sort though challenges on my own. The most important thing that Jen has done is to give me the tools I need to manage problems and even my relationships. She has helped me to see past my old habitual ways of trying to ‘fix’ problems and people. Just a little shift in my thinking and perceptions has produced amazing results. Jen is intuitive, nonjudgemental and positive. I look forward to our sessions. Every week I see real life results. Today I look forward to the future with energy and a happy expectation.
