I’m Jill Schmidt, Life Coach and I’m committed to helping you transform your life.
Starting over at age 50 wasn’t just scary—it was terrifying. First, I had to do the one thing I never wanted to do, the thing that hurt the most…I had to break my own heart and walk away from a long-term relationship that was unhealthy in more ways than it wasn’t. It wasn’t easy, and I fought every step of the way to convince myself that staying comfortable in my discomfort was the safest option. But deep down, I knew that if I wanted a chance at real happiness, I had to answer that scary call and step into the unknown.
And you know what? The life I’m living now is more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. The growth, the joy, and the freedom I’ve found on the other side of that leap has made every painful moment worth it. I spent every single day for over a year focused on myself and the role I played in my life. No more blaming, no victim mentality…I wanted to know WHY I was so willing to sit in misery and call it love. I found the why, healed the why and replaced it with the best version of myself I have ever been.
I learned that the things we don’t want to do, the things that seem to rip us apart, are often exactly the things we need to set ourselves free. The one thing I wish I had during those first few months is someone to prepare me for the unexpected losses that come with uprooting your life, the emotional roller coaster of leaving someone you believe you’re still in love with, and the powerful emotions that come with healing. That’s my new WHY. I’ve committed myself to helping other women (and men) navigate through major life changes, loss and healing.
If you’re ready to stop settling and start living the life you’ve been dreaming of, you’re contemplating a major life change, or you’re just feeling stuck, I’m here to help you. Not only through talking, I’m with you every step of the way. You deserve a life that feels good.

10 Things You Should Know About Me
1. I used to people please, overthink, and put others happiness before my own. And…I used to believe I could love someone “enough” to heal them and to be worthy of their love….THEN I took ownership of my choices and did the inner work to change my life. Now I get to TRANSFORM LIVES FOR A LIVING!
2. Before becoming a transformational life coach, I spent most of my career life as the Executive Director of nonprofit organizations. I’ve been an advocate for other people since I was a teenager.
3. I’m compassionate with a touch of sarcasm, and I listen to really hear you…not just to reply.
4. I’m a survivor of several of the horrible things most people don’t want to talk about. I’m no longer ashamed of anything that’s happened to me. If you’re a survivor, I’m committed to being a safe space for you.
5. I LOVE mentoring and coaching others. It’s my calling and there’s nothing that makes me happier than helping others reclaim their lives and achieve their dreams.
6. I’ve built boundaries around myself and my life that I maintain at all costs. Even if it means letting people go or removing people from my life.
7. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity become who they were before other people interfered with their sense of self. And I KNOW, with commitment everyone can remove old thought patterns and beliefs and become the best version of themselves.
8. I’m a mom of 5 children (four grown and one at home), grandma of 5 beautiful grandchildren, and have a crazy Westie named Oliver and 2 sweet cats, Nathan and Harriet.
9. I know first hand how hard taking the first steps to receive help is. I know how painful it is to discuss experiences that have hurt us, and how sad it is to let people that you love go....I also know sometimes it’s the ONLY way to move forward.
10. I swear (as in I will likely drop an F bomb or two) however, if swearing bothers you just let me know in advance and I will respect your preference.
