For thirteen years, I struggled with binge eating. I would cry myself to sleep asking, “Why do I keep doing this? Why don’t I have any control over myself?” I had tried willpower, rules, and promises to myself, but nothing seemed to work. I had completely lost trust in myself.
Then, one day in the middle of a binge, I decided to pause. I gave myself permission to keep eating if I still wanted to, but first I got curious: What is happening inside of me? What’s behind this behavior?
I discovered that I was angry. I was allowing people to take advantage of me, and I was angry with myself for not protecting myself. I needed to set some boundaries. And when I understood that, something unexpected happened: I no longer wanted the chips. The urge to binge was simply gone. After thirteen years of trying to force myself to change, curiosity had done what willpower never could.
That experience changed the way I understood myself. I began noticing how often my thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and even resistance were trying to tell me something. I started calling this process Self-Partnership—learning to listen to myself with curiosity and compassion instead of criticism and force.
It became something I practiced in the ordinary moments of life, too. When I struggled to get out of bed, instead of calling myself lazy, I asked what was underneath the resistance. When I felt stuck, I became curious about what I needed. Over time, I discovered that I could trust myself—not because I would always make the “right” choice, but because I knew I would listen.
That is what I’m most passionate about sharing with others.
I don't believe I have all the answers. I’m just a person who has experienced what can happen when you stop fighting yourself and begin listening to the part of you that has been there all along—the Friend Within.
I’m deeply passionate about this work because I understand how easy it is to feel frustrated, stuck, or disconnected from yourself. I don’t judge people for the things they do. I’m curious about what’s underneath them. And I trust that you are the person who knows your needs best.
The work I do today through Self-Partnership, Soul Restoration, and The Soul Integration Method™ has grown from that journey. I’m continually learning—especially about the body, nervous system, and the ways our experiences shape how we move through the world.
But at the heart of everything I do is a simple invitation:
What is happening inside of me?

When I’m not talking about self-partnership, you’ll probably find me at my country home in Kansas—planning my next adventure, curled up with a good book, practicing yoga, playing outdoors, taking photos, or hanging out with my two dogs. But my favorite adventure so far has been building a life with my husband since meeting him in 1996—including playing in our rock band, M31, together.
I’m having a lot of fun practicing what it means to Live Soul Aligned in my own life—experiencing, learning, and appreciating who I’m becoming with each step. I’m deeply grateful for the journey of being Jenn, and I’m excited to see what’s still to come, knowing I’ll be there for myself along the way.
