Deep healing.
Lasting breakthroughs.
True growth.

I'm Connie Jones.

Welcome to your evolution!

I guide heart-centered, mission-driven business owners to create powerful transformations inside and out.

With over twenty years in a thriving therapy practice, I use my X-ray vision to see what you can’t—and hear what you’re not saying—to create lasting change in your business and your life.

Where a therapist sits taking notes while you unravel the ball of yarn that makes up your life, as your breakthrough coach, I help you knit the sweater you’ve always dreamed about.

I apply mindset practices, nervous system reconditioning, and habit re-patterning to help you create the magical balance of flow, ease, and alignment.

We dig into that sweet spot where inner work meets business strategy, releasing the tensions of hustle and grind and getting you exactly where your heart and mind are leading you.

Let’s go way beyond–to where you’ve never been before.

My Story

I was sitting where you are. Exhausted. Perpetually overwhelmed and frustrated, questioning myself, thinking, ‘I’m here to create so much more.’

For most of my life, I lived with that huge gap between my reality and the dreams that burned inside of me. I strived for years to achieve and to feel like I was enough. I knew I was gifted at what I did, and I was capable of so much more, but I always fell short. Despite working longer and harder, my frustration only grew as I didn’t see the results I was working so hard to achieve.

And it wasn’t lost on me that my internal struggle with fear, self-doubt, caretaking and people-pleasing was only making things feel even harder. There was an unspoken internal resistance to unlocking the success, ease and enjoyment I KNEW was available to me.

And then…you probably saw this coming…I entered full-scale burnout and breakdown that forced me to create REAL solutions to close the gap that had haunted me for years.

I discovered the path to reconnecting to my heart and aligning with my TRUE ESSENCE – my power, my magic, and my purpose.

I learned to cut through the clutter, chaos, and noise to hear my inner Wisdom and learn to trust my instincts. I learned how to live and lead from a centered, regulated and resourced place within.

I started managing my energy and priorities, creating a framework beyond servicing clients into working on my business. I became nourished by my work beyond what I ever imagined.

And now I’m here to teach you to do the same.

Working With Me

Buckle up! Our work together goes well beyond—and far deeper—than your run-of-the-mill personal development and cookie-cutter business strategies and is always…

holistic

We work through the lens of your business, but the real work is personal and spiritual development, creative business strategy, and attuning to your body and heart’s needs and desires. It’s elevating your mindset, priming your nervous system for thriving and accelerating your magnetism.

Compassionate

Most of the time? People know what they want. But they’re stuck somewhere else, and don’t believe they can have what they want. They don’t see how to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Making that happen takes love and kindness. Our work together is rooted in shifting from self-abandonment to self-devotion.

profound

When you want real change, real breakthroughs, you’ve got to dig in – to your processes, your structure, your beliefs, and your survival patterning and conditioning. Your spirit self is nurtured and evolved while you step into strategic, tactical implementation of the principles and practices to optimize your leadership and grow your business. The result: Thrive in a new level of success and impact.

Strategic

As your mindset shifts and your Personal Why and Business Why are identified, digging into the nuts and bolts of growing your business takes center stage. We’ll examine and crystallize your unique strategy for expanding your outreach, engaging and attracting new clients, and building a business that thrives. Is there work to be done? Absolutely! Can it be enjoyable and fulfilling? You bet.

What my clients have to say…

I sought out coaching with Connie when I felt fearful, stressed, overwhelmed in the executive position I was in at the time, and thought I wanted help with becoming a better CEO. What I needed was help seeing how misaligned I was in that position. I’m now free from the toxic corporate position and I’m connecting with the authentic “me” and living my best life. I’m also learning that I’m not a failure because I couldn’t fit into a toxic environment. I needed to let go of trying to be perfect in the eyes of others and learn to love myself enough to walk away. Working with Connie has helped me make these breakthroughs and after just six months, I now have a healthier job and am excited to be exploring the bigger dream in my heart. I’m more connected than ever with my husband, and I’m happier and inspired overall. Connie keeps me grounded and brings me back to my truth when the rest of the world is shouting other things at me. She helps me see my way out of stuck places, and her guidance has given me the confidence to believe in myself and dream big. Now I understand that you can either flounder by yourself or you can work with Connie and align with your true essence and gain clarity much quicker. Connie “gets me” and she held a container of hope for me until I could hold it for myself. She is clearly aligned with her highest purpose, and I’m grateful she is helping me align with mine.

Erinn Harris HeadshotI sought out coaching with Connie because I was frustrated. I wanted “me” back. I wanted to spend time with my family and enjoy life rather than working long hours and feeling stressed out. I also felt emotionally stuck in several areas and was fearful about some changes I knew I needed to make in my business. Connie put me at ease and incited hope in me as I felt cared for and comfortable in her presence. Her God given intuition is what makes her a powerful coach. I could feel the Holy Spirit speaking through her. And the results were amazing. I spend more time with God, my family, and myself, and my business grew 511% in two years. I am now starting a second business and considering a third. My marriage has flourished, and I actually like and accept who I am. Professionally, I sharpened my skills and am a confident business woman. I love this new and improved “me”. It’s awesome to look back on my goals in the beginning and see that I’ve been able to accomplish them!

Doug PictureBefore working with Connie, I was feeling stuck and trapped in a mindset that was creating anxiety and guilt. Through coaching, Connie has helped me let go of what is not serving me and be free to be me instead of who I think people want me to be. As a result, I am much less critical of myself. I now know it is okay to say “No” and allow myself room to grow and thrive! Connie has also helped me gain freedom from my mind. I now like to think of my thoughts as bars in front of me and when I feel like my thoughts are keeping me stuck or trapped, I walk around the bars. When negative thoughts enter my mind, I don’t allow them to dictate or limit my actions, and I release the ones that don’t make me better. Connie is a great listener and will help you discover your true self and set you free from the “not enough” programming that limits you. I love being able to be vulnerable and have someone listen with complete attention and no biases. Connie has not only overcome her own emotional struggles but truly understands how you can get stuck or locked up in your "stinking thinking" mindset. She truly wants to help you become your best self and manifest your dreams into your reality.

Joyce Beverly HeadshotWhen I began coaching with Connie, I felt overwhelmed with responsibility in my work and wasn’t best utilizing my unique skills. I desperately wanted change but could not see how to break free to do what I wanted. Connie listened to me and gently helped me see my self-imposed roadblocks, as well as my gifts. I loved that she understood the psychological conflicts I needed to overcome to change. With Connie’s help, I “went for it”. Now I have a business that allows me to do work I enjoy and am uniquely qualified to do, one that fits my “why” and a life that supports my natural rhythms. I have honed existing skills and learned many new ones. I overcame an overactive sense of duty and responsibility, and I shattered my “shoulds” to do what I was created to do. I have also learned how to deal with discouragement, the nagging voice in my head that tells me I can’t do it or I’m not worthy. When she’s too noisy, I take her for a walk and drop her off a few miles from home. It’s the best feeling in the world! It’s been a transition for sure, but worth every moment of anxiety. Now I am free to make the most of my life in every aspect. Connie walked me through it all and kept me on path. Everybody needs Connie. Her unfailing encouragement and coaching was always there to remind me of how far I’ve come and how much MORE there is ahead.

John Snow PictureCoaching with Connie helped me get my life back on track! With Connie’s help, I took my life back with hard work and determination. I got out of a toxic relationship and moved to get a new start. I was promoted to Art Director for a premier television series after feeling “stuck” as an Assistant Art Director for years. Now, I’m enjoying traveling internationally to lead and manage the set and the show. I am now free from what felt like crushing debt, and I am buying my own home in a quaint village I love. Eating healing and running every day has resulted in me losing 55 lbs. Connie was one of the few people that recognized the toxic relationship I was in and believed in me when I had trouble believing in myself. It’s all crystal clear to me now! I am grateful!

There are so many good things to say, I don’t know where to begin! Coaching with Connie has grown me tremendously! When I started, I felt lost personally and professionally. I had some hard emotional things to work through as I was lacking confidence, not choosing healthy relationships, and having a hard time managing my staff. Connie helped me weed out bad seeds in my life to make room for the good ones, so I enjoy healthy relationships. Now I confidently walk away from things that don’t serve me. I have more confidence in myself and my business, resulting in my salon growing and thriving! My ability to lead my staff and be assertive has greatly improved, and my income has increased as I am charging what I’m worth without feeling guilty. Coaching with Connie was the best decision I ever made!

When I started working with Connie, I had lost my passion for life and had multiple self-destructive patterns that were controlling my existence. I was on unemployment, had alienated myself from all that loved and cared for me, and had little meaning in my life. Now ten years later, my life and business are thriving, I'm married with two beautiful children, have discovered my calling from God, and having developed healthy coping mechanisms and habits. All that being said, I feel that I'm truly an asset and not the liability that I used to be. Through the years, Connie has helped me breakthrough the bondage of my past. The lies I believed since childhood have been replaced with truths. I've grown from the victim mindset to a self-aware, principled individual who takes ownership of my actions. I've also developed a true understanding and acceptance of God's will for my life. In addition to working with me, Connie also coaches our team. It’s fun watching my employees respond to our coaching sessions with breakthroughs too.

When I began coaching with Connie, I felt so stuck in a continuous battle of searching for validation in all the wrong places. I was at such a crossroads, and needed to resolve some struggles regarding family, faith, and personal stability. Connie helped me release all anger and resentment and find my voice. I now have a closer relationship to the people that mean the most to me, and I learned how to stop being a people pleaser. I have learned to let go and live aligned with my top priorities, my happiness and health! She has empowered me to feel free to be myself. I can now live my life to the fullest because of Connie and her coaching. She took the time to learn my struggles, find out what methods worked best for me. She truly cares about all of her clients and wants them to succeed in every area of life and work. She is patient and attentive. If there is ever an area of struggle, she will build such confidence that makes you feel like you can conquer the world. Her approach to tough situations allows you to discover your true self by navigating through some of life's toughest obstacles. Connie is the real deal! I can honestly say that Connie's coaching was the best decision I ever made personally and professionally.
