Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know about coaching with Rise With Jen.
What is confidence coaching?
Confidence coaching is a specialized form of life coaching that focuses on helping you build genuine self-trust, overcome self-doubt, and take action aligned with your values. It's not about 'faking it' - it's about doing the inner work to actually believe in yourself.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Therapy focuses on healing past wounds and treating mental health conditions. Coaching is forward-focused - it's about where you want to go. I work with people who are mentally healthy but stuck. If therapy would be more beneficial, I'll always recommend that first.
Do you only work with women?
Not at all! While many of my clients are women, I work with people of all genders. Self-doubt doesn't discriminate.
How do virtual sessions work?
All sessions happen via Zoom video call. You'll receive a private link before each session. All you need is a quiet space and stable internet. I serve clients nationwide from Kansas City, KS.
What if coaching doesn't work for me?
Coaching works best when you're willing to be honest and do the work between sessions. I can't guarantee specific outcomes, but I can promise that if you show up with openness, you will grow. If after our Breakthrough Session you're not sure, there's zero pressure.
How long does coaching take?
It depends on your goals. Some clients see meaningful shifts in 4-6 sessions. Deeper transformational work often takes 3-6 months. We'll talk about realistic timelines during your Breakthrough Session.
What happens during a Breakthrough Session?
It's a free, 30-minute conversation where I listen to what's going on, ask a few questions, and we figure out together whether coaching is right for you. It's NOT a sales call. If coaching isn't the right fit, I'll tell you.
Can I change packages?
Absolutely. You can upgrade, downgrade, or switch packages at any time. Your coaching should fit your life, not the other way around.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment options are available for coaching. We can discuss pricing and an arrangement that fits during your Breakthrough Session.
Are digital downloads refundable?
No. Instant-access downloads are final sale once purchased. For help applying a paid product, email support@risewithjen.com within 30 days. Each paid order includes one complimentary 30-minute Product Support Call with Jen.
Can I get a refund for a workshop or replay?
Workshops, replay access, mini-trainings, and other low-ticket digital offers are generally non-refundable once access is granted. Report technical access issues within 7 days of purchase so we can help.
What is the refund policy for self-paced courses?
Self-paced courses have a 14-day conditional refund window. You must show genuine effort by completing the required first-step material, such as the first lesson, workbook exercise, or reflection assignment.
Are coaching sessions or group programs refundable?
Live coaching, group programs, private coaching packages, and other live containers are non-refundable once the program or coaching relationship has begun. The existing 24-hour rescheduling terms still apply.
Can I cancel a payment plan?
A payment plan is an arrangement for the full purchase price, not a cancel-anytime subscription. All scheduled payments remain due unless otherwise stated in writing.
How do I request refund help or an exception?
Email support@risewithjen.com with your name, purchase email, order number if available, and a brief explanation. Limited exceptions, including unresolved access issues, duplicate purchases, or circumstances required by law, are reviewed case by case.
What's your cancellation policy?
I require 24 hours notice for rescheduling. Late cancellations may forfeit the session fee. Life happens - if there's an emergency, just communicate with me and we'll figure it out.
Are sessions recorded?
With your permission, yes. Momentum and Transformation package clients receive session recordings so they can revisit key moments. You can opt out at any time.
What's the difference between 1:1 and group coaching?
1:1 coaching is fully personalized to your specific situation. Group coaching provides community, shared learning, and the power of realizing you're not alone. Many clients do both.
I'm in crisis - can you help?
If you're in crisis, please contact a licensed mental health professional, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or go to your nearest emergency room. I am a life coach, not a therapist, and am not equipped to handle mental health emergencies.
How do I prepare for my first session?
Just show up as you are. I'll send you a brief intake form beforehand so we can make the most of our time. But there's no homework before session one - just an open mind.
Do you work with corporate clients?
I primarily work with individuals, but I do offer leadership confidence coaching that's popular with professionals. For corporate workshops or team coaching, please reach out via the contact form.
