Hi! I’m Dr. Jennifer Jackl, and I wanted to share my story of how Love Wins came into being…
After almost a decade of working as a college professor and teaching relationship communication to hundreds of curious, engaged, and wonderful students, I decided to take a leap of faith and try education in a different way. When I launched Love Wins Relationship & Communication Coaching, I had one goal: Help those who wanted help.
Since founding the company in 2021, I have been doing just that! When I was a professor, I really looked forward to the moments (inside and out of the classroom) when students felt safe and empowered enough to come directly to me to discuss their communication and relationship struggles. Working with them to unpack the details, the history, and the hope for the future, we could get to the bottom of the challenge and work to solve it. I wanted more of that, and I didn’t want to be limited to just the students enrolled in my undergraduate classes. Love Wins was born from that space; filled with hope, desire to help, and curiosity about how non-college-students would change my approach to educating and coaching.
I have discovered that working with couples, as well as individuals, in a personal setting, and getting into the deeper details of how communication is rocking the “relationship boat” and then formulating plans and approaches for how to “right the ship” has been the most intensely rewarding journey of my professional life. Working with adults with years of relationship history, while they juggle family life, work life, and the world is extraordinarily complex, but, at the same time, simple.
I know it must seem like some relationship hurdles cannot be overcome, but in my experience it all comes down to one answer: Do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to stay stagnant? Growth takes effort, but the rewards are innumerable. I’m here for those who want to learn and grow. Let me help you to see what the work is, give you strategies and tips for how to do the work, and then be your guide and cheerleader on the sidelines as you practice, and do the work. I take the coaching title and metaphor seriously. I cannot do the work for you, just like your sports coach cannot. But I can lay out the plan, give you the environment to understand the plan, watch you practice, give some tips to adjust, and continue to stand back, observe, and encourage you as you make it happen.
I am immensely grateful I get to do this work, and I am so proud of the work my clients have done with me as their coach. One session at a time, one relationship at a time, communication coaching is changing lives. I look forward to bringing what Love Wins has to offer into your life, too. Let’s get going!
Less of a story, and more of a resume, here is my bio for those who like to know these things! 🙂
