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?

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.

The Great Awakening (My Perspective)

Fear or Faith: Which Will You Choose?
I talk about this a lot: If you focus on what’s wrong, what’s bad, what you’re worried about, and what you FEAR, you send your energy there...and make that which you DON’T want to GROW. And when you focus on what you want, on what possibilities exists for you, on what...

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....

Testimonials
I just want to say a few words about the Powerful Girl Within Program that my daughter attended. I can honestly say this program definitely helps give girls the tools they need to be confident in themselves and also in learning to appreciate who they are.
I love this approach, as it’s one I use myself! I find children today are more sensitive and can sense authenticity and a lack of congruency in their ‘teachers’
Today, parents and teachers need new skills, and we need to work together to create an ethos of empowerment around young people to unleash their potential. Congratulations Jill on getting it out there, as there is not enough of us supporting families in this way.

Since using Jill’s Bully-Proof Self-Esteem system, all has been going so well. My daughter seems a lot more cheerful, lighter and less worried about making friends ever since we’ve started affirmations. She says hers with delight and confidence. In one of my visualization exercises I imagine my children being surrounded by other children who are very interested in them and what they have to say. I affirm this with words.
Well, a week ago I went to my daughter’s gymnastics school to pick her… Read more

I have started a new job… just one of the many new changes happening in my life. It all started by working your Powerful Girl Within program. My daughter is having a much better year at school. Though she still has some anxiety, her confidence with peers has improved dramatically.
My daughter and I also joined girls on the run after listening to your recording. It has been amazing. I never knew my body could run a 5k ever! Saturday is our big run and it will be a celebration of so many posit… Read more
It is helpful and it is fun and a lot of expressing your thoughts. You do exciting activities like doing a vision board. It is fun!

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
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

My daughter was going through a tough time at school, including intimidation from some girls at school. Jill gave me seemingly simple insight into why this might be happening and how to change it. We pasted an affirmation on her mirror and almost instantly my daughter’s school experience improved. She is now friendly with the entire class, and even told me she’s much more comfortable being herself at school – no longer feeling the need to put on a persona.

I just can’t say enough about how valuable Jill’s 11 Parenting Principles have been for me. Each principle that Jill lays out makes so much sense and she gives such great examples of how to start applying them to your daily life right away. I have read so many books about how to live and parent in a more positive and spiritual way, and while I have been able to glean once concept here and extract another idea there, Jill’s 11 Parenting Principles trims all of the fat and clearly and concis… Read more

The Powerful Girl Within Program helped me review my look on self-esteem. I realized I needed to make peace within myself in order to be able to help my daughter see her own self-worth. In order to be a healthy role model, I realized I needed to be healthy in my thoughts first. The program helped define the real meaning of self-worth in our girl’s minds. It’s a wonderful program altogether.
