- Frequently Asked Questions -

A: No. Most insurance and job benefit plans don't cover life coaching as a service, so most likely this will be an out of pocket cost to you.  However, sometimes employers offer wellness stipends that use a client reimbursement model. We'd be happy to provide the necessary invoices for that.

A: In a nutshell there are difference between the 2 methods.  Choosing the right one for you/your situation can be confusing.  We truly believe that you can benefit from both simultaneously.  Coaching is most effective when you are committed to making change in yourself and your relationship.

The International Coach Federation (ICF) use this analogy:

“A coach is like an athletic trainer while a therapist is like a medical doctor specializing in sports medicine. Both draw from a shared body of knowledge that includes anatomy, kinesiology, nutrition, and the like. The trainer works from the assumption that the athlete is essentially sound in body and is focused on improving fitness and performance. The trainer will refer the athlete to the team doctor if there is reason to believe they have an injury. Similarly, coaches and therapists work with the same material but with different skill

Yes!

At least, we think so. Most of the time, couples therapy isn't able to offer you much for support, feedback, or accountability checks in-between your weekly or bi-weekly sessions. This can result in momentum that drops off, or builds only very slowly, thus not getting couples the results or changes that they'd like... at least not very quickly.

Additionally, couples therapy doesn't usually include a lot of deep and essential relationship education. Sure, you might be experiencing improvements but do you know why? What's happening? What are you doing? How can you do more of it?

Our programs are designed to empower you with the information and tools that we ALL need to be more effective and successful in relationships... (skills which, if you ask us, should really be part of our primary educational curriculum!)

In fact, as a PhD trained Couple and Family Therapist with over a decade of work in that role, Dr. Jeni has VERY intentionally helped to build our programs in such a way that they meet the needs that therapy so often doesn't, while also creating enough of an additional value that even people who are still going to and finding success in therapy can still benefit from working with us, without getting a lot of repeat in the type and "flavor" of the support and resources they're receiving.

Thus, our programs are a wonderful alternative OR addition to couples therapy and counseling!

So, if you're looking for a more effective solution than your standard couples therapy/marriage counseling only path... you're in the right place!

This answer depends a whole lot you. If you can really put yourself into this work, you can significantly improve your experience in your relationship in about 3 months (or less sometimes). However, we see those results more often in our higher-level program where there is more direct support from us.

Still, even in our lower-level support programs (like the PowerfuLove Success System), we offer a ton of resources and support, and so if you are the kind of driven "doer" who will choose to use these supports, we KNOW that you'll experience change far more quickly than you'd expect, because what we teach you truly is SO life-changing. 

That said, we will add that the people that are most successful in seeing fast and dramatic healing and transformation exhibit  what we call, the 3C's.  (You can check out a video from Jeni on our home page where she talks more about what these are and why they're important.)

First, Commitment.  This means a commitment to the relationship to be sure.  But commitment also refers to the time and energy you commit toward engaging in the material, showing up to calls, doing the integration exercises, using the support, resources, and community, and being consistent in it. We recommend that our coaching clients find at least 2-4 hours a week to prioritize this work. The  more you put in, the more you get out... Also, we know life happens. ;)

Second is Courage.  Courage is about your ability to look at yourself and the situation with the honesty and vulnerability it requires.  Courage is also important when you try to do something you have never done, tried, or might be afraid of or resistant toward. Your nervous system's self-protection responses play a BIG role in what doesn't go well in your relationship... and doing something different can also feel really vulnerable and uncomfortable. This is where courage becomes so important. It's choosing love over fear.

Finally, the third C is Coachable.  This refers to your ability to receive, trust, and integrate new learning, skills, tools, into your way of being in the world and in your relationship.  You can't take in new information with the door closed.  Additionally, learning is just a step on the journey of change. Practicing, applying, refining, incorporating feedback, showing up and using the resources we offer and suggest is part of being coachable.

If you believe you have these qualities and are motivated to make your relationship everything it can be, then we are here for it! And we expect the transformations you seek will not be too far along.  

Yes... and no.

We offer a money-back guarantee if you purchase one of our digital courses. 

If you determine we aren't the teachers for you, we offer a 14-day money back guarantee provided less than 25% of the course offerings have been consumed.

If you are paying for a membership monthly, you can cancel simply cancel at any time.

There is a very intentional reason that we don't offer this "money-back guarantee" on our higher-level coaching programs... and it has everything to do with setting you up for success. (Remember, we understand how human psychology works!) 

We want you ALL IN! Because we know that's the mindset and commitment you need to really succeed in turning things around quickly.

That said, if you embody the 3C's (commitment, courage, coachability) for 6 months and you see no improvement in your relationship, we will give you another 6 months of support for FREE.
