I was raised a simple, small town girl shaped by faith, hard work, and borrowed grit. There were years when I needed help just to make ends meet. I was a single mom in college, working full time with no margin to breathe.
By day, I worked in a demolition pit disposing of ammunition to pay my tuition. At night, I picked up overtime in the paint department. Still, I felt made for more, more purpose, more peace, not more stuff.
Eventually, I graduated and moved into accounting, building a new chapter one long day at a time. Later, I met the man I would marry. Life kept moving, and so did we. Sixteen moves in my adult life, each one its own classroom in resilience and reinvention.
Today I am a mom to two wonderful girls and a bonus mom to two more amazing kiddos. I now live debt free, empty nester in training, semi retired on paper but still on fire in spirit.
Watching my own children struggle with change, leaving home, learning the life skills schools do not teach, and facing the pressure of dating is what led me here. I have seen how hard it is to transition into adulthood with limited resources and too much silent pressure. I have walked beside friends and loved ones navigating mental health challenges. I have lived the loneliness of being a single college mom trying to make it, wondering if I was enough. If I had just had someone I could trust to whisper “you are going to make it,” the days would have felt lighter. I walked through life alone and independently, and it was not easy. Let me be that voice, that friend, that steady support for you or the young adult you love.
I am Jennifer, a southern belle who was always told I was too extra, smile softer, want less, take up less space. I learned to hide parts of myself to make others comfortable. It worked until it did not. The emotional roller coaster wore me out, and I finally decided there had to be more to life than performing. So I went to work on myself.
For five years I studied habit science, nervous system basics, faith practices, emotional wellness, boundaries, and real life leadership. I tested everything on my own life first: money, health, relationships, relocation after relocation. I kept what worked and tossed what did not. The result is a simple method that brings mind, body, and soul back into alignment.
Today, I am done hiding.
Just Jenn means the volume is up and the integrity is high. I am southern, strong, tender, direct, and joyful on purpose. You can take the girl out of the South, but not the South out of the girl.
I coach, yes, but I do more than coach. I walk with you. I pray with you. I send the tough text and celebrate the tiny win. We raise standards, protect peace, and build rituals you can actually keep. When your energy lines up with your truth, happiness leads, and the right people follow.
Lavish is a feeling, not a price tag.
My why did not come from textbooks or certifications. It came from real life. It came from years of surviving, rebuilding, and learning to trust myself again. It came from living paycheck to paycheck and fighting my way into financial freedom. It came from doubting everything, then falling to my knees in hope when nothing made sense anymore.
It came from watching my own children struggle with change, college pressure, dating, and the life skills no one teaches. It came from the fear, the guilt, and the helplessness of wanting to fix things I could not fix. I have been the mom fighting for her daughter in court. I have been the woman learning how to build a healthy home with his, hers, and ours. I have raised four kids, loved them through their heartbreaks, and learned the power of meeting people where they are with grace and truth.
It came from seeing friends and loved ones battle mental health without support, feeling lost with nowhere safe to fall apart. It came from walking through life alone, juggling school, work, kids, and bills, praying for strength I did not have, wishing someone would whisper, “You are going to make it.”
It came from working twelve and fourteen hour days until my office became wherever I needed it to be. From the exhaustion of doing everything myself to the peace of finally building a life that fits the woman I was always becoming.
My why is simple.
I do this because I know how heavy life can be.
I do this because I wish I had someone who saw me, believed in me, and walked beside me.
I do this because no one should ever have to fight their way through change alone.
If you are willing to do the work and step into the best version of yourself, I will be here to support you, cheer for you, pray for you, and celebrate every small win along the way.
This is my purpose.
This is my calling.
This is why I created The Lavish Method.
