In this deeply personal and full-circle episode of Building HER, I’m sitting down with the very first coach I ever hired, Coach Jennie, the woman who helped shape the version of me that built this business, this podcast, and this life. I'll let her introduce herself:
Jennie of Jennie + Meredyth here. We work with people with impatient ambition…people - like YOU - who have done great things, but want waaay more, and it's not happening fast enough. We help you actually accomplish what matters most to you so that you can get farther, faster! We run our growing two-woman empire from the road full-time in our beautiful 28' Airstream trailer with our trusty, little, 4 pound sidekick, Sadie.

Before the clients, before the income, before SheEO…
There was a version of me who felt stuck, lost, and unsure of what was next.
And this conversation?
It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what actually shifts everything.
This is not just about coaching.
This is about identity, self-trust, and the decision to finally bet on yourself.
In this episode, we get into:
- The real reason you feel stuck (and why it’s NOT lack of strategy)
- What coaching actually is - and why so many people still misunderstand it
- The mindset shift that allowed me to leave corporate and build a 6-figure business
- Why “financial oxygen” might be the smartest move you make (especially in the beginning)
- The truth about building a coaching business in a “saturated” market
- How to stop overthinking and start signing clients (without needing it all figured out)
- The difference between learning about business vs actually building one
- Why your inner critic isn’t the problem - and how to work with it instead of against it
- How to create momentum even when you only have pockets of time (hello, mom life)
This episode is for you if:
- You’ve been thinking about becoming a coach… but haven’t said it out loud yet
- You feel stuck in your 9–5 but don’t know your next move
- You’re consuming content but not actually taking action
- You’re questioning if coaching is “too saturated”
- You’re ready to build something of your own but fear keeps creeping in
