A fundamental part of living a meaningful life is exploring.

This requires that we take risks, and dance at our growth edge. But we need a RESILIENT nervous system to do so sustainably. Otherwise, we risk burning out.

 

What brings your soul alive (that you’ve been avoiding or minimizing)?

Do you want to take the leap this year and launch that passion project that’s been calling you in for YEARS?

Have you been held back by old patterns and stories of not being good enough? Do you come from a family that didn’t encourage you to go after your dreams, or didn’t accept you for you who are? If so, you’re not alone.

In 1:1 coaching, I create the space for you to engage life at your growth edge and cultivate your Resilience Foundation - a foundation of self-worth, confidence, courage, and unconditional support. This container is your Safe Haven to process emotions, gain clarity, navigate challenges, build new habits and skills, and EXPLORE out in your career and in the world.

Claim what you’re here to do.
Take meaningful risks.
Learn how to steward yourself forward with grace and balance, through the wins and challenges (and everything in-between).

 

Learn how to be an equanimous, secure leader. Your greatest impact depends on it.

Emotional regulation + mindfulness are key when navigating the complexity of interpersonal communication.

In 1:1 coaching, I share with you how to integrate specific mindfulness strategies and secure attachment strategies into your roles in the world so that you can establish strong boundaries, compassionately communicate and get your needs met (while meeting their needs).

Ultimately, your capacity to steward collaborations and teams gracefully impacts your legacy: the impact you make, the work you get done, the connections you share with others, and the meaningful creations born out of your collaborations.

 

MY COACHING SPECIALTIES

 
  • I share with you how to apply mindfulness in all areas of your life for ultimate ease, clarity, creativity, and connection. I work with a system called Unified Mindfulness, which is a science-backed, secular mindfulness system designed by Shinzen Young that is designed to train your attention and cultivate deeper levels of happiness and clarity in all areas of one’s life. This system is great for

    • Cultivating and accessing into inner resources like confidence, worthiness, courage, and clarity.

    • Developing clarity about yourself, your desires and more.

    • Elevate your concentration and productivity

    • Process emotions skillfully

    • Decrease suffering and increase fulfillment

    • Show up with more spontaneity, authenticity and flow

    • Heal, self-attune and live with equanimity

  • Attachment theory is a psychological framework that makes sense of the ways in which you orient toward yourself and to the world (interpersonally). In theory, your attachment strategies as an adult may be determined by the way your caregivers (or important attachment figures) oriented toward you in early development. Attachment is adaptive and malleable. It can have a significant impact on our ability to be authentic with others, to go after our passions, to explore what’s most meaningful to us, to be willing to get our needs met in life, and to enjoy reciprocally meaningful relationships. I support clients in coming to understand the tenets of secure and non-secure attachment styles, so that they can move through the world with more awareness and skill. I also share ways to approach the healing of one’s attachment strategies to ultimately develop earned security and expand one’s capacity to explore what’s most meaningful to them.

  • Internal Family Systems Model informs the meditative work I do with clients, and the way we move through and beyond inner blocks, confusion or resistance.

    Parts work is rooted in the belief that there are multiple parts within each of us (and that that's completely NORMAL - not something to be pathologized). 

    For many of us, our 'parts' express themselves through emotions and attachment activations. They can impact our decisions, behavior and outlook on the world. 

    I’ll guide you in mindfulness approach (and emotional self-regulation strategy) to compassionately understand parts of yourself MORE.

    Not only that, but this process is designed to relieve the burdens that these 'parts' may be carrying throughout your life and business. We can learn how to meet our own needs and lead all parts of ourselves with compassion, curiosity and patience. This ultimately can lead to a more harmonious, integrated system.

    A whole sense of self.

  • High performance is defined as “succeeding beyond standard norms over the long-term.” In other words, consistently performing at your best. For 3.5 years, I worked in-house for Brendon Burchard, the world’s leading High Performance Coach, learning both high performance curriculum and managing the online course library/community for thousands of high performing clients. I bring to you the game-changing strategies and curriculum that are used to support leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, and creatives thrive in all areas of life. This system is designed to elevate your psychology, physiology, interpersonal skills, performance + productivity, and overall clarity.

  • Systems and workflows are the lifeblood of any sustainable endeavors. I provide my clients with effective, proven workflows, project management systems, my go-to platform/app recommendations, self-evaluation systems, and more (to support both personal and professional endeavors). Whether you’re looking to uncover your true purpose, greater productivity, stronger self-clarity and awareness, heightened concentration/focus, increased creativity, or less fear of authority figures or receiving feedback, I’ve got a system for you.

 

Walk away with:

  • Cultivate an open hearted, compassionate, kind and patient attitude (so that you can be in acceptance of the people around you without the urge to change or fix them)

  • Develop adaptive, empowered inner dialogue (self-talk) and learn how to stop beating yourself up. Step into true self-leadership, navigating your inner talk and emotions with patience, love and respect.

  • Set and maintain aligned boundaries (to protect your energy, time, and values) and access more fulfillment from living with high intention.

  • Be more creative and tap into your flow (so that you can focus more on the process, and be less burdened by outcomes).

  • Learn how to be productive, focused and create work/life balance within remote work environments (the new normal).

  • Decrease anxiety (and learn how to process challenging emotions and pain)

  • Tap into your sense of PURPOSE, powered by clear values, a personal mission and self-reflection systems to keep you on track.

  • Manage stress more effectively ( facing information overload, the enormity of your position at work, your multifaceted role at home!)

  • Develop new ways to emotionally self-regulate and access more balance and equanimity (so that you can surf the waves of life without getting knocked over).

  • Navigate life changes, transformation and uncertainty with grace and confidence

  • Uncover your authentic self (your desires, core passions and purpose) and end the people-pleasing or dismissive behaviors that keep you from shining your authentic light.

  • Increase concentration (so that you can access the FLOW state and get the most out of every moment, whether you’re on a walk in nature or on a work deadline!)

  • "As someone with past trauma, the level of safety and curiosity I have been able to cultivate has been instrumental in my healing process. My work with Jess has allowed me to know myself better and I'm so grateful for it!"

    “Working with Jess both in virtual group meditations and one-on-one sessions has allowed me to finally commit to a regular meditation practice after years of trying to meditate. Our work together has allowed me to confront and clear my blocks around meditation. This may sound simple at first glance but it's actually quite profound - after years of avoiding certain thoughts and feelings I now feel comfortable sitting with it all. As someone with past trauma, the level of safety and curiosity I have been able to cultivate has been instrumental in my healing process. My work with Jess has allowed me to know myself better and I'm so grateful for it!

    Furthermore, meditation no longer feels like a "should" but a "want" and I now look forward to my daily sit. I can’t speak highly enough of Unified Mindfulness (the system she works in) - it is approachable, dynamic and honestly quite fun!

    If you find yourself with unhealed trauma, addiction issues, wanting to shift your attachment style, and/or hoping to get clearer on your goals and really commit to yourself, I highly recommend checking out Jess’s work and considering booking a one-on-one with her. I also find her weekly meditation groups to be deeply nourishing and a wonderful way to stay connected in this time of isolation. I feel so grateful for Jess and the work she is doing in the world!”

Hi! I’m Jess Lipman, and I’m so happy you’re here.

I’m a Unified Mindfulness Certified Trainer + Coach, and my mission is to help you live your life and fulfill your authentic calling resiliently and sustainably. It’s time to optimize your whole human system and holistically embody your purpose.

I am founder of The Mindful Nest, Co-Founder of Being Resilient, Editor-in-Chief of PersonalBrand.com, and co-founder of Recovery Dharma.

With over 15 years of mindfulness practice and deep knowledge across multiple psycho-spiritual frameworks including Unified Mindfulness, Attachment Theory, IFS, and High Performance studies, I support people in elevating their lives holistically. My two main teachers are Shinzen Young (Founder of Unified Mindfulness), and George Haas (Founder of Mettagroup).

I hold a Masters degree in Critical Studies from USC School of Cinematic Arts, and now apply critical analysis, deconstruction and theory to the human inner system + consciousness (within my mindfulness-based life coaching approach).

I offer a unique fusion in my approach to the intersection of mindfulness and career. I have professional experience leading business and marketing efforts in major personal development and wellness brands over the last 10 years. I served as Managing Director for Brendon Burchard (NYT Best-selling author and High Performance Coach), as well as Creative Director for Jim Kwik (NYT Best-selling author and Memory Coach). My diverse background helps me effectively support professionals and creatives who are interested in elevating their productivity and impact, deepening their fulfillment, accessing their authenticity and skillfully navigating interpersonal dynamics - all while elevating their leadership skills and career growth.

I ground the application of mindfulness in the practical: my interest is in helping you train your attention and build emotional regulation skills that directly strengthen your role as a professional, innovator, family member, partner, creative, friend and human. My goal is to provide you with the psycho-education, space for clarity to arise, training for self-leadership, and tactical strategies to help you live from a place of secure attachment, compassion, love and skillfulness.

My Approach

 

 

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is an awareness and a practice. The practice is comprised of techniques that anchor your attention in the present moment (which you can perform while sitting with your eyes closed or even while you’re going about the activities of your day). In practicing, you are cultivating concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity (the core attentional skills that elevate the quality of your focus, performance, capacity to connect, creativity and more). I support my clients with integrating mindfulness strategies into their daily life in ways that work for them and that support their specific goals, powered by the Unified Mindfulness system as well as an attachment-healing meditative approach. There’s many ways to practice mindfulness and leverage it for greater contentment and impact. I’ll help you identify what works best for YOU.

“I feel more clarity in my vision, confidence in my mental toughness, and confident on my journey.”

“Jess's mindfulness and business coaching has been the biggest blessing for me in 2020. Beyond just teaching me the Unified Mindfulness System (which is awesome!), she genuinely cares about my personal and professional problems and how I can use mindfulness strategies to get me closer to my goals. I feel more clarity in my vision, confidence in my mental toughness, and confident on my journey. 100% recommend Jess to every dream chaser, entrepreneur, and big thinking out there trying to do big things. You're the best Jess!”

“Jess makes me feel powerful, calm, and loved and inspires me to shine. These days, I’m making choices based on new revelations brought up during our coaching sessions and reflection, instead of fear.”

— Hannah H., Creative Agency Manager,
Minneapolis, MN

“Before working with Jess, I didn’t believe that I could have the life I so badly wanted. I was so accustomed to hiding my authentic self from the world and honestly...myself. Despite being professionally successful, I had no sense of direction or motivation because I was making choices in my life based on what I believed others thought was best for me. I would frequently wake up in the night with a feeling of anxiety. I had a million things to do, yet none of them really excited me. I never wanted to admit that I wasn’t happy. Deep down, something told me there was something more I needed to do with my life…more meaning, more purpose. And I didn’t even know where to begin to uncover this.

That’s when I called Jess!

Since working with Jess, I stepped into a major role in building a company (something I never thought was possible) that now provides great work/life balance and true excitement. I’m more present in my relationships, and I beat myself up a lot less. I’m more willing to be an honest, authentic version of myself without obsessing about what people are going to think. Jess makes me feel powerful, calm, and loved and inspires me to shine. These days, I’m making choices based on new revelations brought up during our coaching sessions and reflection, instead of fear. I am more confident in who I am than I have ever been and have been using my voice and shining my light in the world. 

Instead of feeling like a victim of circumstance, I finally feel like the creator of my own life and it’s all thanks to the bright and brilliant soul that is Jess Lipman! If you ever get the chance to work with her - I HIGHLY recommend that you do!”

— Hannah H., Creative Agency Manager, Minneapolis, MN

“Jessica helped me successfully navigate two job transitions with great results.”

“I was at an impasse with a long time employer due to compensation and culture. I needed help to pull the trigger and make some changes.

I am not typically a “self-help” enthusiast, but Jess’s method is grounded and logical, and ultimately fit my needs perfectly. She helped me realize my value and convinced me to take the risk with another employer. While, the new employer turned out not to be a good fit, she helped me identify it as the learning experience that it was and try again.

She coached me through the tough conversations I would face and gave me the tools to believe in myself and negotiate for what I needed. She showed me that it’s all about focusing on what you can offer while staying true to your own needs. She was a great advocate.

My next move resulted in a 30% more compensation, increased responsibility, upward mobility, and even company-paid grad school. I am very grateful for her coaching!”

— Joseph A., Environmental Division Manager
Philadelphia, PA

“Jess’ impact on my life has been immense.

Before I met her, I was caught up in co-dependency, living in cyclical patterns and denying my own truth. Jess helped me to see all of this with deep compassion and patience. She held my hand as I struggled to break free of my patterning, and believed in and celebrated with me at every new step into freedom.” 

“I have a lot of respect for Jess’ knowledge and guidance.

She approaches situations with kindness and wisdom and really makes you feel like she’s on your team. If you need a compassionate guide to transition you into a better, more aligned life - she’s the one you want.”


— Jessica M., Co-Founder and Vice President, Oneness Tribe Portland, OR
