How Kristen Left a Secure Job & Built a Thriving Coaching Business with Confidence

How Kristen Left a Secure Job & Built a Thriving Coaching Business with Confidence

September 24, 20255 min read

When Kristen first stepped into the Transcendence Mastermind, she was teaching full‑time and studying to be a coach. She had one foot in education, the other in her calling, but neither felt fully hers. She didn’t know how to run a business. She didn’t even believe she was allowed to dream that it could look different. Two years later, Kristen has built offers, clients, confidence-and most of all, a business that matches who she is now. This is what real growth looks like when someone is held, stretched, and never asked to hide the discomfort along the way.

Case Study: Kristen’s Journey Inside Transcendence Mastermind

“Before I started, I had no clue how to run a business. Now, I have a plan, clients, and the confidence to know I’m actually good at this.” - Kristen

Meet Kristen

Kristen is a meditation therapist and inner growth coach working with women and children, specialising in mindset and confidence.

When she first found Transcendence Mastermind, she was still working as a teacher while studying to become a coach.

“I had one foot in each camp. I knew there was more for me, but I had no idea what it was. I didn’t have any clue how to run a business. I felt stuck. Almost panicky. Like if I don’t do something now, I’m going to be staying in the same role forever.”

Even though she loved teaching, Kristen couldn’t ignore the inner nudge that kept whispering there was something more.

Why She Chose Transcendence

“I knew that working with Jess was going to be the right decision because she understood the modality, she understood the people, and she understood what it takes to build a business around this kind of work.

It was a no-brainer for me. I felt aligned because someone finally understood where I was at.”

What It’s Like Inside

“Being inside the Transcendence Mastermind space is almost like a holistic experience.

You have the nurturing, the energetic and emotional support, while you’re navigating a world that feels so foreign when you first begin. Even for women who are seasoned experts, it’s hard.

Having someone to call upon, to answer questions, to give acknowledgement and encouragement when it’s hard - and to understand what’s really behind our struggles - that’s invaluable.”

She adds:

“I definitely felt like an imposter when I started. I had zero knowledge. I didn’t even know what a session would look like. But over two years, Jess has met me where I’m at, stretched me each step of the way, and helped me keep growing in confidence.”

The Power of the Group

“Having the peer-led environment has been a beautiful addition. I’ve been with the same women for nearly two years now and I would happily say we’ve become friends.

We message outside of calls, we help each other out with business and with life. It’s a lovely, supportive network. You start off with Jess’s support, but you end up with a whole new support network of women who get it - and who are genuinely excited for you.

There’s no ego. Everyone is vulnerable. And when there’s vulnerability, there’s beautiful connection.”

Being Mentored by Jess

“Jess is such a nurturing mentor. She’s incredibly kind and caring when you feel vulnerable, but she doesn’t let you wallow.

There’s no room for victim space here - you keep going, but you never feel humiliated. Jess holds the space with such generosity and presence.

Knowing I could turn to her when I was feeling frustrated and raw was everything. She has been my champion.”

A Defining Moment

Kristen remembers the day she decided to leave teaching.

“My husband and I had been talking about it for 15 years. I’d been studying for five. But through conversations with Jess, stripping everything back to ‘what do I want, what impact do I want to create, what kind of life do I want to see’ - I finally made one of the biggest decisions of my life.

I left a secure, well-paying career where my whole identity was wrapped up. It felt brave, it felt invigorating, and it was stepping into the unknown. But I knew I would be supported.”

Tangible Business Shifts

“The number one shift is I have a business now.

I have a client base. I’m working with women and children. I’m being invited to workshops and retreats. I have a 90-day plan, I evaluate, I adapt - I’m no longer throwing spaghetti at the wall.

I have structured offers, well-priced programs, an ecosystem for my clients to move through. I’ve built a website. I’ve run ads.

And most importantly, I have confidence. At the start, I had none. Now I can say: I’m actually pretty good at this.”

Personal Transformation

“Before, I was always seeking outside of myself. Now, I know how to sit with discomfort and shift my energy. I’ve healed patterns that were running my decisions. I’ve redefined how I see myself in the world.

I never saw myself as a leader. Now I know I am one.

And the biggest gift? Freedom. I used to be ruled by school holidays. Now I can run my business from my laptop, travel, and feel a full-body experience of freedom every day.

This is bliss.”

Who Transcendence Is For

“Transcendence is for the woman who has that little internal voice saying: there’s something more for you.

It could be someone just starting out, or someone already deep in business who wants to heal their own stuff while they grow.

If you want a full holistic experience - where you build a business but also do the inner work first - this is the place.”

And if someone was on the fence?

“Trust the little nudge. You will not leave without value. You will not leave without growth. 100% you should do it.”
