We recently connected with Jennifer Hooper and have shared our conversation below.

Jennifer, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

I truly believe that you have to be willing to take risks in order to reap the rewards that life is willing to offer.

I’ve taken several risks in my life. One, was when I left the safety net of my corporate job and decided to launch a business. I could no longer take the corporate “9 to 5.” I’d always been curious about starting a business but I knew that I’d never do it if I didn’t give myself a strong motivation, and quitting definitely provided that motivation! It also required dipping into my retirement funds at times to either pay some bills or invest in training, but I have no regrets! More recently, after I got married for the second time, I sold my house, all my belongings, and jumped into a camper van with my husband and dog to travel around the country…during the pandemic. That journey led us to relocate to a beautiful part of Arizona with a moderate climate year round. We couldn’t be happier!

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I am certified in International Coaching Federation (ICF), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy ®, Hypnotherapy, Meditation, and Reiki.

I impact women by helping them transform deep emotional trauma into strengths, capabilities, and empowerment through a service I call a Personal Breakthrough.

A Personal Breakthrough is a highly customized coaching service that guides clients to break free from old, negative habits of thinking and feeling that once protected them, but no longer serve them. Using Time Line Therapy ®, I gently guide them to release unresolved negative emotions and vulnerable thoughts they have about themselves. They replace these negative patterns with new, positive learnings from their unconscious mind so they are able to take new, inspired action steps from their intuition.

A Personal Breakthrough helps each client break free from unconscious patterns and negative thoughts in a very short amount of time, typically 10-12 hours (broken up over several sessions). As each woman experiences their own profound healing, they are then capable of positively impacting and influencing their families, communities, and businesses. This ripple effect extends healing and empowerment throughout the world.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

My best advice for growing a client base is to create long lasting, personal relationships with everyone you meet. You never know when a contact might offer a referral or turn into an actual client. Almost all of my clients have come from nurturing relationships over time. This strategy requires that you’re willing to let go of any preconceived timelines or outcomes about when clients show up. It’s not easy, but it allows you to be “of service” without giving off a desperate energy of needing or wanting new clients, which is common when you’re just starting your business and need the money! Looking in the rear view mirror, I can see that I definitely came across as “graspy” in the beginning of my business. Now, I’m just happy to meet people, get to know them, and be the right person at the right time, whenever that is. It’s so much easier and more fun!

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

I have fallen down countless times, and I always find the energy and motivation to get back up and keep going, usually forging my own path rather than following what’s “conventional.”

After my divorce, for example, I was devastated. My identity was shaken to its core. I struggled to know who I was without the labels of “wife” and “full-time mother.” I love my beloved home (I couldn’t afford it on my own), and my financial house of cards crumbled, forcing me to declare bankruptcy. After a year of grieving, I finally got tired of waking up at 2:00 AM questioning who I was, second-guessing every decision I made, and feeling angry, ashamed, and guilty.

I decided to create a life I loved instead. Since that time, I have launched my business, traveled independently (domestically and abroad), and relocated to a warm climate. I became remarried to a man who adores me. I take time to travel and explore, and I serve clients at a deep, healing level. My resilience has allowed me to transform myself from insecure and unhappy to feeling peaceful and more alive.
