Build Inner Confidence and Social/Emotional Wellness in Kids!
Do you know in your heart that your child is happiest when they have the courage and confidence to be their true self?
Do you wish they would follow their own, inner voice rather than listening to others?
Do you want your child to thrive in life, rather than merely survive or just get by?
Then you’re in the right place.
I Shine provides online learning programs, live group webinars, 1-on-1 and group coaching, and certification programs to guide you in supporting kids to build inner confidence, self-acceptance, and the courage to be their true, authentic selves so they can reach their highest potential.

Fear or Faith: Which Will You Choose?

The College Admissions Scandal: When the “At All Costs” Mentality Hurts Your Kid.
I’ve said on many occasions how there's nothing I wouldn't do for my son. I'm sure if I asked you you'd say the same about your kids. And while that may be a noble, heart-felt position many of us parents hold, knowing where to draw the line between “doing anything”...
My Love-Hate Relationship with High School
I’m in a love-hate relationship with the independence that comes with high school. My baby just started his Freshman year. I love that in 2 days he’s seemingly mastered the art of making his own lunches, is already a wiz at getting around Chicago on public...
What the Passing of Dr. Wayne Dyer Taught Me about Living
By Jill Hope I’ve never cried over the death of a public persona before – someone I didn’t know personally, but only through his work, his art. But that’s exactly what happened when I heard the passing of someone who was very influential in my life – Dr. Wayne Dyer....

I really believe you have helped redirect our relationship along a much better pathway. I remember with gratitude how you really helped me to look at my son, Alex, and the way I was interacting with him, in a new light which I really believe has helped redirect our relationship along a much better pathway.

I reached out to Jill when my oldest daughter was getting ready to leave for college and we were going through a painful separation process. She helped me see how much of the pain was coming from my own issues and not really what was happening with my daughter. Once I was able to focus just on my daughter and improving the connection we had it was so much easier. I wish I would have started working with Jill when my daughters were younger….but I know it is never too late to improve your relati… Read more

After each one of these workshops I felt more confident with myself, like I could do anything. One of the things I learned helped me focus before a math test! You should definitely check it out.

I am registered! When I made the payment I realized how grateful I am for this opportunity to learn how best to support my daughter. When I compare the cost of the class to what I have spent on her camps, classes, and clothes — all to make her happy, help her feel good about herself, connect with friends, feel like she fits in, etc., I realize what an excellent investment this is. The Powerful Girl Within Program is something that will long outlast a new outfit because she will wear it on the in… Read more

These workshops help me with my confidence and help me remember that I choose my reactions in difficult situations. It’s also super fun to learn with other girls.

The Powerful Girl Within was shared with my daughter at just the right time in her development. She felt inspired and centered as she enters puberty. She received tools to help understand and balance her feelings and aspirations. Her leader Celeste Kelly is a soulful guide for the girls to ignite their own unique inner power and peace. It’s a true gift for growing. Our whole family appreciated the program and we believe others will too.

Jill’s coaching and time was so worth every penny, I got bigger “ah-ha’s” than I ever did in any counseling session or any other program I’ve done (and there have been many!) It’s so helpful to have someone to serve as a witness, who isn’t emotionally invested per se, someone who can help me see more clearly or help me see a new perspective that I just couldn’t get to all by myself. I have been waiting for years to find a coach/mentor I could work with that wouldn’t just hold my hand, but also … Read more
The workshop was REALLY fun and I recommend to tell your friends and do it with them. It has made me feel more confident and gave me tools to handle my life. And my teacher Ms. Celeste was an amazing teacher. She’s actually my friend’s mom which is really cool. Do this workshop! You’ll love it!

I had the privilege of being a part of the I Shine Child Self-Esteem Bully Proof program. My daughter, at the time, was only 14 months. I was not sure how helpful it would be at such a young age, but I discovered that I was able to start with a healthy foundation for her right from the start.
Using Jill’s suggestions to encourage my daughter with what she was doing well, with clear language, such as, “You followed directions”, instead of my typical response, “Good girl”, helps my da… Read more
