What People Are Saying
Honest and Vulnerable
Jeanette has been our guest speaker on several special occasions at our church. She has a very sweet countenance about her that appeals to our ladies. She is honest and vulnerable yet with a contagious sense of humor. Her subject matter is always well thought out and presented in a professional manner.
Encouraging and uplifting
“Jeanette touched the hearts of many with an open heart revealing the trials of her life changes, and she shared encouraging and uplifting stories of how to survive what seems like the impossible. Her presentation gave hope to others who might have felt overwhelmed or discouraged.”
Infused with joy and warmth
“Jeanette’s speaking, teaching, and writing are infused with joy and warmth, along with a dash of dry humor. There’s an emotional and spiritual depth to her work–an authenticity that captivates. I’ve learned to listen carefully to her and always come away encouraged and refreshed in so many ways.”
