Let’s talk about doing this business thing differently, shall we?

Welcome to SUSTAIN, a foundational coaching community for people doing business (and life) differently.

This is a community for the creatives, multi-passionates, rebels and deep feelers. Here, we’re neuro-spicy and compassionate— and we tell the truth. That’s the place we come from as we grow our businesses together, all while questioning the rules and supporting each other’s bravest visions.

GATHER

Build community with people who understand where you’re at.

Every SUSTAIN member is here because they’ve hit that point in their business where they’re tired of the BS. They want to build something that helps them live a beautiful life without burning out. Surrounding yourself with that energy is a game-changer.

NOURISH

Access workshops & guest expert sessions to get you unstuck.

Running a business alone is challenging. Doing it with support is much easier. Get access to high-energy, possibility-expanding workshops with Jenni and other guest experts, plus a learning library full of tools that will help you set up a business that lasts, step-by-step.

PIVOT

Ask big questions about what success and growth mean to you.

In this community, we question every “should” and obligation. We share what’s working for us, even (especially!) when it’s non-traditional. Rather than accepting the established systems, we create our own, one brave step at a time.

“The time I’ve spent in SUSTAIN with Jenni is, hands down, the most valuable time I’ve ever spent on my business. The community cost has already paid for itself (by 10x!) with the learnings I’ve implemented.

And most importantly, being in a dedicated space with other successful, innovative solopreneurs makes me *feel* like a confident business owner. That alone has changed everything about how I’ve operated my business, charged clients, set boundaries, and leveled up in the last three months. I can’t recommend it enough!”

— Alexa Nizam, Copywriter & Marketing Strategist

SUSTAIN is a gathering place for solopreneurs moving differently.

The SUSTAIN membership includes…

  • SUSTAIN includes live learning sessions each month. These typically occur on the 2nd or 4th Tuesday of each month at 10 am PST/ 1 pm EST. (This timing may be adjusted on holiday weeks.)

    These sessions are live, hosted on Zoom. They are also recorded and ported into the private SUSTAIN podcast, which you can access at any time. Our members live all over the world, so this program is built to be asynchronous!

  • You’ll also be invited to one live conversation with an innovative, forward-thinking, business-building expert each month, typically on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 10 am PST/ 1 pm EST. (This timing may be adjusted on holiday weeks.)

    All guest expert sessions are hosted on Zoom and recorded. They can also be accessed at any time on the private podcast.

  • Join the SUSTAIN crew 2x per month to implement everything you're learning in SUSTAIN. These sessions foster incredible community while also helping you see measurable results quickly.

  • SUSTAIN is hosted in a protected online space where you can meet other self-employed creatives and ask questions. Members workshop pricing, provide feedback on each other’s proposals, share work opportunities and so much more.

  • All SUSTAIN members get access to a learning library full of resources related to finding clients without coercion, building a unique brand that doesn’t feel like effort, getting your finances in order without shame, and embracing a more proactive mindset. You'll find short sessions from Jenni, as well as templates, workbooks, and beyond.

  • Upon joining SUSTAIN, you’ll be invited to a new member chat (these happen every 2 months), where you’ll meet other solopreneurs. You may also request to be paired up for a coffee chat any time, and will be able to set up promotional swaps, referral relationships, and beyond with others in the community.

“Jenni brings a unique mix of skills I have yet to encounter in any other coaching professional. In addition to being an excellent listener and creative problem solver who has firsthand experience with the challenges of the solo business owner life, she also addresses the emotional and spiritual blocks that can create barriers to success. I love that she's adept not just at seeing the practical solutions to a problem but also helping her clients work through the self-sabotaging beliefs and fears that can hold us back.

SUSTAIN isn't just a collection of people who want to up-level their businesses. It's a warm, supportive community where I've formed meaningful connections. I'm so grateful to Jenni for creating this container for us!”

— Pam Moore, Intuitive Eating Coach & Comedian

A look into the resources

In this program, we approach work from a humanity-first perspective. We will not talk about your business without talking about your life, too. We also never assume that a business rule or “trick” will get us to where we want to go. Still, foundations can be a helpful starting point for building a harmonious business that’s in right relationship with your life and needs in this current season. The SUSTAIN library is built to kick start your progress and give you ideas for moving forward with your business in a non-extractive, holistic way.

Immediately when you sign up, you’ll get access to a library of resources related to innovative thinking on the below topics.

Get your infrastructure in order by creating a business model, setting up an LLC, creating a contract, and beyond.

Figure out who you help, and how, then create an epic offer that works for you and serves your people.

Get clarity on your financial goals, design a workflow to help you track your earnings each month, and interrogate money mindset blocks.

Define your unique brand perspective and land it on a new or refreshed website, as well as creating some stellar content.

Create a marketing plan that doesn’t feel extractive or anxiety-provoking, then set up rhythms to support audience growth and authentic connection.

Create an onboarding and offboarding system, consider your own energy patterns and make mindful choices about the tools you use.

Audit your clients, set new boundaries and create SOPs for common questions and issues.

Snag bonus meditations, worksheets, special workshops and more.

What else is included:

Each month, we learn from guest expert sessions like Alex Leviton (making time for creativity), Andrea Reeves (rebellious systems), Dara Wilson (sustainable offers), Jamie Cox (hell yes branding) Amanda Laird (just enough marketing) and so much more. All past guest conversations can be found on the private SUSTAIN podcast.

“Joining Jenni’s community was the best investment I’ve made yet in my growing business.”

“SUSTAIN gave me the ideas and frameworks I needed to ask for more money, set firmer boundaries around my time, and feel calm, grounded, and successful as a business owner who is also a present mother to my young daughter. Jenni creates a vital community of trusting, smart, like-minded people who are building businesses that serve their lives, not the other way around. Her leadership gave the group direction, and most importantly, she generously shares her deep understanding of embodiment and mindset work in a way that feels truly liberating for business owners who want to work sustainably.”

-Brittany Wilmes, Writer & Editor

Upcoming focus areas

Each month, we choose a focus area for the SUSTAIN curriculum based on what folks need at the moment. Here’s the upcoming curriculum:

  • Systems & Productivity: As we get into spring cleaning mode, we’ll look at where you can refine, automate and streamline your processes to open up more space for creation.

  • Sales & Marketing: Not the pushy, sleazy tactics that make your stomach turn, but authentic connection that brings the right clients to your doorstep.

  • Client Roster Refinement: Because who you work with shapes everything about your business experience—from your daily energy to your bank account balance.

  • Integration Month: This month, we're creating space for you to actually DO the things. No theme, two group coaching calls. Let’s do this!
