Why I Do This Work

Because brilliant, mission-driven women like you deserve better than burnout and self-doubt.


You’ve worked too hard to feel this stuck.


You’ve led others for years—but you’re not sure how to lead yourself out of this mess.

​

That’s where I come in.

I help women like you:

  • Figure out what the hell they actually want

  • Reclaim their confidence and leadership voice

  • Set boundaries that don’t crumble

  • Rebuild a work life that fits—not one that drains

Coach. Former executive.
Bathroom stall cry survivor. 

My Story

I’m Jennifer, founder of Flashlight Thinking—and if you’ve ever rage-screamed in your car after a board meeting, I see you.

​

I spent over 20 years climbing the nonprofit ladder, leading teams, developing strategy, driving impact. I was the Chief Mission and People Officer at a $150M+ organization.

 

On paper, I had “made it.”
But inside? I was exhausted, disillusioned, and wondering why all that success felt so damn empty.

​

Sound familiar?

​

That’s not failure. That’s a signal. And if you’re here, I’m guessing you’re hearing it too.

My Approach

I’m not here to give you fluffy affirmations or five-point life hacks.


I’m here to tell the truth, ask the hard questions, and walk with you as you build something better.


My method blends deep introspection, values work, and practical leadership development—so you don’t just feel better, you lead better.
