Build Inner Confidence and Social/Emotional Wellness in Kids!
Do you know in your heart that your child is happiest when they have the courage and confidence to be their true self?
Do you wish they would follow their own, inner voice rather than listening to others?
Do you want your child to thrive in life, rather than merely survive or just get by?
Then you’re in the right place.
I Shine provides online learning programs, live group webinars, 1-on-1 and group coaching, and certification programs to guide you in supporting kids to build inner confidence, self-acceptance, and the courage to be their true, authentic selves so they can reach their highest potential.

The College Admissions Scandal: When the “At All Costs” Mentality Hurts Your Kid.
I’ve said on many occasions how there's nothing I wouldn't do for my son. I'm sure if I asked you you'd say the same about your kids. And while that may be a noble, heart-felt position many of us parents hold, knowing where to draw the line between “doing anything”...
My Love-Hate Relationship with High School

What the Passing of Dr. Wayne Dyer Taught Me about Living

Testimonials
My daughter (9 yrs old) and I have been seeing a child psychologist to help with her anxiety, low moods, friendship troubles, feelings of being unloved and overall resistance to everything I say. I knew if we were experiencing these issues now, we may be heading for a rough road through the teen years. Although we have made some progress with the psychologist, I still have feelings of helplessness, more questions and I feel dependent on each visit for answers. I also wonder how my daughter… Read more
I found Ms. Hope to be articulate, insightful, and could see her being a strong positive force in anyone’s life. Clearly, she is passionate about her work and has accumulated a tremendous depth of wisdom over the years. I would definitively recommend her program as well as her coaching!

Since using Jill’s Bully-Proof Self-Esteem system, all has been going so well. My daughter seems a lot more cheerful, lighter and less worried about making friends ever since we’ve started affirmations. She says hers with delight and confidence. In one of my visualization exercises I imagine my children being surrounded by other children who are very interested in them and what they have to say. I affirm this with words.
Well, a week ago I went to my daughter’s gymnastics school to pick her… Read more

I loved the honesty with which Jill talks of her personal experiences. This gives such a realness to her advice, which makes it more valuable. The biggest thing I learned from the interview series is to take ownership of my feelings as being separate from my childrens’ tantrums and acting out. Often I have negative thoughts running through my mind causing me anxiety, so when my children misbehave, I react badly. I’ve learned to calm down first myself to diffuse their behavior.

Jill is such a special woman and mother! I am so impressed by Jill’s unique stand to not just WANT our children to feel great about themselves and make excellent decisions, but to be one of the RARE individuals who actually DOES something about it. Jill is making our world a better place by bringing spiritual lessons for kids into the mainstream. Under Jill’s leading, parents will be offering their children the life skills we all desire.

Everyone is really nice and respectful and it really helps with self-esteem. At my age most girls don’t get to do these kinds of things and don’t understand how to help themselves, but this class helps with that if you were to send you kid to this class I would totally recommend it.

Thank you Jill so much for your 11 New Parenting Rules! It was amazing to listen to you teach these rules with down-to-earth explanations and examples! Listening to these 11 rules and allowing my mind to open was such a positive experience. I am looking forward to applying the rules to parenting my 9 year old son and also applying these 11 rules in managing my life. Thanks again Jill!
Julie Arnold, Andover, Minnesota
These workshops help me with my confidence and help me remember that I choose my reactions in difficult situations. It’s also super fun to learn with other girls.

It helps you express your emotions. It teaches you to love yourself and to forgive others. And it is never boring!

Our ten year old daughter had a “best friend” who she felt rejected her and picked a new “best friend.” Since the 3 girls were all in the same class, our daughter started acting like a bit of a recluse there and the other students watched the dynamic, which snowballed negatively for her.
I decided to try Jill’s Powerful Girl Within Program which reinforced concepts I knew to be right – I just needed to hear them again and in a different way.
This program really helped me to look at how I … Read more
