Kennelyn Mercado

“CJ is so easy to talk to. She has a style where she doesn’t make you feel bad if it’s been a slower month in your business. She’s very uplifting and motivating and you can tell she truly wants you to succeed. She works with your schedule and is very understanding of individual situations… I’m so thankful to have met CJ by chance as she helps me navigate my budding business endeavour.”

COLLEEN SHIPP

“I highly recommend CJ if you want to quit your job to become a full-time entrepreneur. I made the leap and it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but with CJ's unwavering belief in me and support helped me make the plan and actually hit “send” on my resignation letter. She believed in me when I had a hard time believing in myself and really helped me navigate life as a new full-time business owner, and made it a great transition.”

Joanne Dominico

“I had been following CJ on IG for a while and always loved hearing her tips and one day finally decided to connect with her. Not only was I blown away by her knowledge and experience, but she was super easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable immediately. I would highly recommend taking the step like I did, to just make that first call and see how her services can help you too!”

Amy Stevenson, client of Christen N James

AMY STEVENSON

“During our coaching sessions CJ gave advice, listened and challenged myself and the others in the group to think in different ways. She always brought the fun and energy to the sessions, which was especially important during the evening calls after we'd all had long days at our 9-5.
CJ has made me feel confident and ready to push my business forward!”
