Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jennie Lynn. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jennie, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?

After a lot of personal development work on myself, I kept feeling like I was meant to create something in my life to support others. When I first started having initial ideas, I wrote “transforming heartbreak” in the notes section of my iPhone. I didn’t entirely know what it would become, a book title, a program name, but it felt part of what I was called to create. Fast forward 6 months later, I started my Coaching business. I initially kept more of a broad focus and used my name as my brand name; “Jennie Lynn”. As I began coaching so many women, I started to see that relationships were the area that I was supporting them the most. Not only that, it lit me up the most inside when guiding them to heal from past relationships and grow into deeper levels of self-love. I knew that my long term vision was a love-themed brand centered around self-love and healing. I created a vision board with a good friend one summer day, and cut out the words “relationship” and “wellness” separately. Once putting them next to each other, I realized that was the speciality of my brand that I was creating. I love the term “relationship wellness” and the journey of having healthy relationships with yourself and others.
Evolving Heart – Relationship Wellness for Women was officially born on that day!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

I have been a Nurse for over a decade and I initially became a Nurse to support women, working in GYN-Oncology. As I started to create a successful career in healthcare, I found I always struggled in relationships and wondered why. It felt like every other area of my life I could find success in. I reached a point where I wanted to start over, and with a new job opportunity I moved to San Diego, California. Within only 2 months of moving, I experienced yet another heartbreak. It felt like the straw that broke the camel’s back…I had moved to start over and yet I soon had the same pain. I decided to look in the mirror and ask myself what my part was in these hurtful experiences. I opened my mind and started hiring mentors and began a self-love and healing journey that opened me up to the beginnings of my authentic self and my first healthy relationship.

During the pandemic, and new into a healthy relationship, I found myself with a lot of fear coming up around my past and struggled to believe this person actually cared about me. It was something I constantly questioned and felt anxious about. It wasn’t until the relationship ended, that I realized my past was blinding me from the newness of my present and what was in front of me.

Knowing I had much deeper to go in my healing journey, I continued to hire coaches and explore deeper layers of myself. It’s through my own experiences of love, heartbreak and lots of learning that endless wisdom and inspiration came through to support other women. It’s my mission to help women learn the true meaning of self-love, find freedom from their past and open their heart to the love they deserve.
My primary service is 1:1 Relationship Wellness Coaching, which is a personalized 4-month journey that supports women who are both single or in a relationship. My clients have had incredible results in my program such as— letting go of unhealthy connections, entering into their first healthy relationship, dating from an empowered place, connecting more deeply with their partners, communicating in new healthy ways that brings them closer to their partner, embracing vulnerability, and loving themselves like never before. It’s an honor to give back to women in this way.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

I’ll add to to the heartbreak I experienced shortly after moving to San Diego. At that time, I truly felt as if things would never get better in my life. I think after having so many disappointments in my relationships when living on the east coast, moving 3,000 miles away only to end up with the same type of guy was so defeating, but it did force me to open my eyes. I could no longer blame my location for my experiences. I can specifically remember looking out my window in San Diego at a gorgeous ocean view, and had a realization that everything on the outside could look perfect but it won’t bring me happiness. Over the next week, I felt like so many aspects of my life shifted in huge ways. I lost friendships, started a new role at work, and began rebuilding myself from the ground up. I stopped spending money on things that I thought would make me feel better about myself, and started investing on my healing and growth. While that journey never ends, it’s certainly the most fulfilling one as the transformation on the other side is so worth it. I am so grateful for all I’ve been through because it’s what’s given me the wisdom and empathy to support so many other women who are experiencing the same pain I was.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I’m not sure if this is a lesson or just a belief I adopted growing up, but for most of my life I believed that if I was as nice as possible to everyone, that one day they’d realize how great I am and see that I’m worth it. I think many women can relate to being told to be “nice” and agreeable, but I think I overcompensated and would overextend myself for friendships, relationships, etc. that did not reciprocate or see my value. It would seem like the more I gave, the less important I’d feel. When diving deep into my personal development, I realized that draining myself for other people was not serving me and was essentially repeated self-abandonment. Of course it’s great to be kind and go out of your way for others, but I learned that I would chronically do this at the expense of myself, and for people that didn’t treat me well. Unlearning people pleasing and learning healthy boundaries is what supported me in creating respect and ensuring my cup was full. This is also how I created incredible friendships and changed my dating experiences as well. I learned that boundaries are a framework for how others can treat you and without those, anything goes. It’s so worth asking yourself what you’re available for and consider yourself first!
