Things I Say to My Friends About Relationships
Conversations with any of my friends inevitably turn to our relationships. With the isolation/lock down, we all have more time with our significant others or more time alone.
Approximately 10 years ago I blew up my marriage. I decided I was done, and I wanted out. My marriage had been based on my illusion of ‘how to do a marriage correctly.” It was a steady build, over years, on a faulty foundation. I eventually came to see that what I wanted wasn’t going to happen and I knew what I had was no longer sustainable. Reality could no longer be denied. Being alone and starting over was terrifying. I was in an emotional melt-down free-fall and I lived literally one minute at a time, putting one foot in front of the other doing everything in a state of anxiety. There was nothing to go back to, all doors were closed. There was only forward into a big, dark, scary unknown.

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.
