In this episode Jen Schultz shares how every woman has what it takes to create their own abundance using the skills they have already acquired but maybe not recognized!

In 2010 Jen Shultz, Founder of The Non-Nine-to-Five™ found herself battling anxiety and depression.  During this dark time, she received an intuitive persistent message urging her to create a business and generate an income on her own terms.  That year, Jen went against all "safe norms", followed the call, and quit her full-time teaching job to become self-employed. 

For over 8 years Jen has been educating, training, and coaching conscientious high-level women who have a deep knowing they are not meant for the 9-5.  She leads the women she works with into successful and sustainable self-employment so they can tap into their unique skills and strengths, make a difference in the lives of others, generate an income on their own terms, and never go back to a 9-5 job.

Jen is a highly intuitive educator and coach as well as an international speaker on a mission to empower as many women as she can to stop feeling stuck in the 9-5 grind and strongly step into purposeful, successful, and sustainable self-employed work!

Jen holds a BA in Communication (University at Albany), MA in Special & General Education (New York University) and is a certified professional coach through iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching).
