Today, I welcome back Rev. Jenilee Goodwin. On a previous show, Jenilee shared the journey of being on the mission field and their neurodiverse family journey in missions. A lot has happened in her marriage and family journey since then. Today, we talk about neurodiverse marriage and missions as well as abuse and handling that under the lens of being in ministry.
About Our Guest:
Rev. Jenilee Goodwin
Professional Life Coach
As a certified professional life coach (ICCI), a certified autism coach (NCDD), and an ordained minister (AG), Jenilee has over 20 years of career ministry experience. Serving in stateside churches and overseas missions, Jenilee brings lived experience, problem-solving skills, compassionate support, and creativity into each coaching session. Jenilee asks hard questions while listening, guiding, and coaching clients in their unique life situations. Jenilee is trained in the Equipping Profile, a personal development coaching tool that helps discover growth points and possible barriers to growth. Through one-on-one and group coaching, Jenilee uses the Equipping Profile, book studies, and even some homework to establish personal development plans, helping clients move forward healthily.
With many in her immediate family on the autism spectrum, Jenilee has a special call and place in her heart for moms of kids on the spectrum and for NT wives going through the difficulties of ND marriages. Even more specifically, I have a passion for these women who are also in full-time ministry or missions. There are very few places to share the full story. In coaching with Jenilee, you can share every single page of the story.
In addition to the above skills, Jenilee loves reading, writing, coffee, going for walks, and watching history documentaries.
