Listen Later

EP384: Today’s guest is Jane Kennard, a Canadian-born, certified anxiety coach. Jane's pivot from a 20-year teaching career at the undergraduate level and 15 years in pastoral ministry to anxiety coaching after retirement and is truly inspiring.

Jane shares her personal experiences with anxiety, which served as the catalyst for her vocational shift. She reflects how her own struggles and the modeling of this behavior by her mom led her this late-in-life interest to help others grappling with anxiety, overwhelm, and worry. 

In this episode, we talk about:

  • How she ended up coaching in the specific niche of anxiety and how her lived experience has led her here.
  • Her lack of awareness about how anxiety was affecting her life, until she retired and had time to reflect.
  • The three important steps in navigating through and overcoming anxious thoughts.
  • Discovering new purpose and fulfillment post-retirement
  • Her story resonates with those navigating similar paths, shedding light on the transformative power of self-awareness and resilience. She also opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped her career change, emphasizing the importance of faith, courage, and insightful guidance in her personal development.

    Be inspired by learning how Jane turned her own journey into a beacon of hope and guidance for those seeking to overcome anxiety and found new purpose later in life.
