Getting to know Jen and The Driven Coach
Hey there! I'm a seasoned explorer of life's many paths, and every hat I've worn has uniquely prepared me to guide you on your journey. My passion is empowering you to find your unshakeable confidence, feel comfortable and strong in their own skin, and truly live their best life.
​
My Roots & Resilience
Born in a Chicago suburb, I'm a "Yankee by birth" who's spent most of my life soaking up the charm (and battling the summers!) of North Texas. Yes, I own more than one pair of cowboy boots, and I can actually ride a horse – a passion I've had since childhood, right alongside bowling. These pursuits taught me early lessons in discipline, overcoming challenges, and finding joy in movement. And like any true animal lover, my home isn't complete without the happy chaos of our two dogs and two cats!
​
​From Sidelines to Life's Big Game
My journey into coaching truly began on the sidelines, coaching my three boys' U6 soccer team. Today, I'm still cheering them on, even coaching my youngest in mountain biking. This experience, celebrating every small victory and navigating every challenge, ignited a deep fulfillment in me. There's nothing quite like witnessing that "lightbulb moment" when a client’s potential clicks into place! I'm here to celebrate your breakthroughs and compassionately guide you through replacing old habits with new, empowering ones.

My Personal Transformation:
From Struggle to Strength My own path has included a significant transformation. I once weighed over 260 pounds. With the aid of Wegovy, I've lost nearly 100 pounds and am within 10 pounds of my target weight. This journey has not only taught me the profound truth that "none of it is easy," but it has also deeply fueled my desire to get stronger, be a better, faster, all-around athlete, and help others who crave that same feeling of strength, vitality, and true comfort in their skin. It all comes down to one day, one choice at a time.

See that pic of me on the left? That was after a hard weight lifting session where I had several new personal bests. I am so proud of myself here! Messy hair and all! I like this picture of me because of how I remember feeling. I want more of pictures like that.
