We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jennifer Giugliano a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jennifer, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.

Coaches’ Wives Night Out is just that. It provides a wonderful opportunity for coaches’ wives, fiancés, girlfriends, and retired coaches’ wives from all sports to interact with other ladies with similar stories and provide encouragement. A n event full of shopping, raffle prizes, wonderful speakers, and amazing fellowship. Founder & Chair of CWNO, Erica Hardin, wife to Blair Hardin, River Bluff football head coach and athletic director, had a vision when moving to Lexington, SC to bond the ladies in the area. With one child at the time, working a full-time job, and a husband with a busy schedule, she saw the need for a night for women in a similar position. With the help of Co-Chair, Jennifer Giugliano, wife to Anthony Giugliano, a River Bluff football coach, and Kohl’s national divisional training coach, these two ladies were able to bring their vision to life. This year our event has grown and we are honored to have a committee team to help us carry out the planning and prepping process of CWNO.

Jennifer, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

CWNO means everything to us, we pour our hearts into every detail and aspect of the event. Our heart’s desire is that every lady that attends feels encouraged and possibly gains new connections with other ladies that get the coaching life. As we prepare, we also are juggling our own lives, and sometimes we can get discouraged or weary but through those times that’s when it helps to have a partner. We encourage each other in those moments and remind ourselves why we do this. Then the event is over and we are immediately so amped up that we start to plan for next year.

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

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

That being a coach’s wife is amazing, hard, and lonely all at the same time. Many don’t get this coaching life and by building this community it makes you feel like you aren’t alone.
