“If you are looking for a place to imagine and gently grow your business while honouring your humanity, this is it. There is an abundance of resources to dive into, which are deeply supportive with no hustle culture or one-size-fits-all nonsense in sight. Jen leads by example and encourages us all to center self-compassion along this wild entrepreneurial journey!”
I joined YS&SB because I was transitioning from working on my own in a more traditional/structured practice (insurance-based occupational therapy) into a more creative, integrative way of supporting folks navigating chronic health issues. There was so much I didn’t know and I felt quite alone out there in the entrepreneurial wilderness! I had followed Jen’s work for a while and knew that her approach was gentle and human-centered, which aligns with my values and the work I do.
YS&SB has been instrumental in helping me learn the foundational processes of building a service-based business in a non-dogmatic way.
From creating a business vision at the very beginning to becoming more consistent with writing a newsletter and launching group programs, Jen has created many supportive resources for it all.
I love that YS&SB is set up with a lifetime model. This really helps me, a recovering perfectionist, breathe and take it at my own pace. It’s a space that honours that everyone is at a different place along the journey and is spacious (ha, of course!) enough to support us all. I really love being able to pop into Slack for the weekly check-ins or to crowdsource ideas from other people. And I love that there’s no judgment if life happens and I drop off for a bit! Jen is there steadily tending the fire for us.
