IT’S NOT A FIRST WORLD PROBLEM TO WANT MORE!
So what do you want?
Real Talk:
You have so much to offer, but have started feeling bored, restless, and lonely in mid-life. Some days, you wonder, “Is this all there is”? It’s hard to prioritize filling your cup when you’re trying your hardest to balance work, tend to the kids, care for aging parents, and manage household responsibilities.
I get it. I’m a middle aged mom of two kids (one with special needs) and I have been there, too! Having done my own healing, I’m here to be your thinking partner in redefining how you want show up in midlife. I’ll help you learn to hold yourself accountable by turning off the outside noise, reevaluating your priorities, and exploring what lights you up now.
I’m a natural intuitive with a lengthy background in human behavior and psychology. As a certified Clini-Coach, my superpower is asking the right questions to guide you back to YOUR confidence, and ignite your passion! You deserve to feel illuminated in midlife!
Life Coaching Services for Women
Life after 40 comes with big transitions, but it’s also an opportunity to redefine what fulfillment looks like. Whether you’re seeking more confidence, purpose, or a fresh perspective, life coaching can help you create a life that truly feels like yours.
I’M LOOKING FOR…
Greater confidence and agency
-
If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, you’re not alone. Confidence coaching helps women rebuild self-trust, silence their inner critic, and show up fully in work, relationships, motherhood, and life.
You don’t need to change who you are—you just need to believe in her again.
-
You’re not stuck—you’re ready for something more. Empowerment coaching helps women over 40 break free from self-doubt, take bold action, and step into leadership in work and beyond.
Whether it’s speaking up, making a big decision, or finally going after what you want, this is your time to own your power.
-
Motherhood, midlife transition, and entrepreneurship each come with unique challenges, but your mindset shouldn’t be one of them. If stress and self-doubt are holding you back, mindset coaching helps you shift your perspective and break free from limiting beliefs.
It’s time to rewrite the story you tell yourself and make it one to remember.
-
You’ve spent years putting everyone else first—now it’s time to focus on you. Personal development coaching helps midlife women rediscover their passions, set meaningful goals, and build the life they’ve always dreamed of.
This is your chance to grow, evolve, and step into the next phase with confidence.
Better relationships
-
Relationships shape so much of our lives. Relationship coaching supports better communication, stronger boundaries, and healthier connections of all kinds.
-
You don’t have to do it all alone. Life coaching for moms offers a supportive space to process, plan, and reconnect with yourself beyond the to-do list. Let’s make room for your needs, dreams, and growth.
-
Family dynamics and relationships can be complex, but you’re not the only one navigating them. Group coaching offers shared insight, support, and tools to create stronger connections at home and beyond.
Services available online or in-person at my Chicago (Bucktown) office.
Guidance through major
life changes
-
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a turning point! Coaching helps women 40+ embrace this season, reconnect with their purpose, and create a life that feels aligned, exciting, and truly their own.
-
It’s never too late to do work that lights you up! Whether you’re reentering the workforce, pivoting careers, starting a small business, or simply wondering, “What’s next?,” career coaching helps midlife women navigate change with clarity and confidence.
-
Change is inevitable, but how you move through it is in your hands. Transformational coaching helps you navigate life’s transitions with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Your next chapter is waiting. Let’s make it your best one yet!
A deeper connection with myself
-
You already have the answers—coaching just helps you hear them. Intuitive coaching blends mindset work with deep self-trust to guide aligned decisions, even during uncertain times.
-
You’re not just chasing goals—you’re seeking a deeper meaning. Soul coaching goes beyond surface-level change, helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom and live in alignment with your truth.
-
Ready to design a life that actually fits you? Lifestyle coaching blends habits, routines, and mindset work to support your goals—whether you're simplifying, restructuring, or starting fresh.

A SOURCE OF LIGHT, STRENGTH,
AND STABILITY
I worked with Jana for 2 years. She was such a source of light, strength, and stability during a stressful transition in my life. Jana is kind, compassionate, and really takes the time to see and understand the whole person. I still refer back to our sessions and the resources she gave me to navigate new challenges. If you get the opportunity to work with her, cherish every moment. She's one of the best out there!

WHAT IF OUR UNIQUE challenges HELD THE key TO OUR HIGHEST GROWTH?
Do you feel worried that your reality feels different than the one you expected?
Sometimes, the most well intentioned choices turn out to be a bust! Sigh. That’s a lonely place to be, often filled with regret, disappointment, and worry - especially if we’re unsure of where to go from here. Together, we’ll clarify your passion and purpose, combining YOUR values with the right mindset and intuitively-led action.
Do you regularly push off your own needs while saying yes to everyone around you?
When’s the last time you did something super fun or soul nourishing for yourself? If you can’t remember, that’s a red flag that you may be experiencing burnout. We’ll brainstorm how to better plan for doing the things that light you up by consistently scheduling time to FEEL GOOD!
Do you struggle with advocating for what YOU want and need or delegating tasks?
Maybe you’re trying to set healthy boundaries, but something just isn’t working. Whether you have difficulty communicating directly or struggle with saying no, developing firmer boundaries is crucial for protecting your bandwidth. Boundaries aren’t about controlling others, but are solely about how YOU choose to engage, react, and respond.
I know what “hard” feels like, promise!
I’m the mom of 2 school-aged kids, one of whom has special needs. I come from a lengthy background in human behavior and psychology, & currently host the top ranking podcast, “She, Illuminated.”
Like you, I know how overwhelming life can feel while doing my darndest to tend to “all the things” and keep life running smoothly. I’ve also learned the hard way that if I don’t slow down once in a while, I burn out. Thanks to years of engaging in my own mindset and soul work, I’ve learned powerful tools to infuse my life with calm, purpose, and joy.
Other fun facts about me: I love “reading books” on the Audible app, music & movement give me life, and I’ve become a real morning person in middle-age (with the help of coffee).
MY APPROACH:
PAUSE AND ASSESS
First, we’ll clarify the problem and investigate your roadblocks. Then, we’ll assess what YOU want and value most, ensuring we’re moving the needle towards your desired goals.
REFINE AND DESIGN
We’ll refine your roadmap with simple, systematic steps so you take aligned action from the start. You’ll release the thoughts, behaviors, and actions that are no longer serving you.
ENGAGE AND INFUSE
We’ll hold you accountable in routinely showing up for what matters most to you. You’ll make decisions with intention, confidence, and joy. And we’ll celebrate every damn win along the way.

I FELT COMFORTABLE WITH HER IMMEDIATELY
I have been seeing Jana for over a year and I couldn't recommend her more. She is extremely intuitive, and I always leave with resources from book recommendations to mindfulness tools to help with managing my stress. She is also incredibly culturally and socially aware, and does an amazing job responding to my specific needs. I felt comfortable with her immediately.
