~ JWow

Transformed the way we taught our victim/survivor advocates.
E.J. Smith, MS, LPC, CCTP, NCC

TRANSFORMED THE WAY WE TAUGHT OUR VICTIM/SURVIVOR ADVOCATES.

 
When I took on a job at the rape crisis center, her principles transformed the way we taught our victim/survivor advocates to work not only with the survivors, but with law enforcement and hospital staff. We expanded our regional services, and I was personally used, as a SME, by the District Attorney and Sheriff’s department.

Helped bring this rather stubborn mountain woman kicking and screaming into the 20th century.
Raine Ford

HELPED BRING THIS RATHER STUBBORN MOUNTAIN WOMAN KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THE 20TH CENTURY.

 
Two of the most important lessons I’ve learned with JWOW are: 1) my monetary worth in the muggle world, thus changing my relationship and attraction with money. And more importantly, 2) if I want to get my medicine off the mountain, I need to meet people where they are, in the world of technology. She helped bring this rather stubborn mountain woman kicking and screaming into the 20th century by enticing me to embrace and utilize modern communication technology as an authentic and valuable mode of influence.

Consult on vision, operations, and strategy!
Liz Ugrin

CONSULT ON VISION, OPERATIONS, AND STRATEGY!

 
JWow is a brilliant professional with a remarkable capacity for vision formulation and implementation. Her technical writing skills are top echelon, her performance art and group facilitation abilities are inspiring. Any kind of organization would benefit by bringing JWow in to consult on vision, operations, and strategy!

Taught me the most radicalized version of empathy EVER.
E.J. Smith, MS, LPC, CCTP, NCC

TAUGHT ME THE MOST RADICALIZED VERSION OF EMPATHY EVER.

 
JWow taught me to stand in the nightmare — not as a savior, but as someone with a lantern who could help the person find their footing to lead themselves out of hell. She taught me the most radicalized version of empathy EVER — where you get so close to seeing someone’s perspective, it’s as if you borrowed their eyes.

What JWow Sees is invaluable.
Robin Sol Lieberman

WHAT JWOW SEES IS INVALUABLE.

 
JWow is made of enough love, wisdom, life, and depth that she — and only she — could save me in my darkest hours of book-writing despair. She is the safest human I know… making her ability to tell it like you need to hear it that much more impactful. I begin my book with a quote from JWow for good reason: she sees life like no one else, and what she sees is invaluable.”

Needed. Authentic. Relatable. Powerful. Transformative.
Raine Ford

NEEDED. AUTHENTIC. RELATABLE. POWERFUL. TRANSFORMATIVE.

 
This is an example of WHAT JWOW just DOES: Lives IN and CREATES realities of inclusion! This global movement towards Inclusion does Just That. Shows us we are NOT ALONE. When we have That Knowing deep in our bellies, we stand up more fully INTO our power. Together. I can say from the clarity of having traveled some beautiful depths with JWow, that this woman’s mission is Needed. Authentic, Relatable. Powerful. Transformative. The more this medicine is made visible, the better the world becomes.

A secular-spiritual BRIDGE to our world’s wellness.
Robin Sol Lieberman

A SECULAR-SPIRITUAL BRIDGE TO OUR WORLD’S WELLNESS.

 
JWow is a secular-spiritual, black-white, abundance-minded BRIDGE to our world’s wellness.

Instrumental in my personal and professional reinvention.
Maria Dowd

INSTRUMENTAL IN MY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL REINVENTION.

 
What JWow gave me: 1) Thinking bigger. 2) Branding. 3) Personal growth and increased confidence. She broadened my definition of meditation. She encouraged me to incorporate my play into the rest of my life. JWow was instrumental in my personal and professional reinvention.

I look at life in a less compartmentalized way.
Chase Price
Accupuncturist

I LOOK AT LIFE IN A LESS COMPARTMENTALIZED WAY.

 
I have learned to look at life in a less compartmentalized way by my association with JWow. I feel more empowered to assist and nurture folks with PTSD; I feel more connected to a community of folks doing “the good work,” i.e. dharma; I also have been inspired to be much less self-conscious in terms of asking for what I need.

Revolutionized the way I practice mental health counseling.
E.J. Smith, MS, LPC, CCTP, NCC

REVOLUTIONIZED THE WAY I PRACTICE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING.

 
JWow’s GCLOIE (Global Culture and Language of Inclusion and Empower-meant) has revolutionized the way I practice mental health counseling and facilitate spaces for healing from trauma to occur. I’m particularly lucky because she took me on as a mentee early on in my career, so I didn’t have any “bad habits” to undo. When I started meeting my first clients professionally, they received the JWOW-inspired version of counseling/psychotherapy. AND IT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
