We recently had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Burwell of Mother + Founder Co. at our fourth Pro Bono Day in Mesa, Arizona on Dec. 3. Jen brought with her a booth filled will inspiration, motivation and a path toward healing for anyone who came to our event. Her business specializes in “helping women master the and“. Her virtual and in-person coaching courses focuses on the ability to heal as a person, grow as a mother, and develop your own career at the same time.
1. Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do.
My name is Jennifer Burwell. I am the Founder of Mother & Founder Co. I help people who are going through change and want to experience healing, growth and transformation. I have been helping individuals and teams understand themselves for 13 years. I am a mother to three beautiful humans, two boys and one girl. Our house is always very busy and loud. In my spare time (ha!), I love going for a run in the morning while I listen to my latest favorite on Audible. I am always looking for ways to learn and evolve. In 2020 I was recognized as the Tempe Chamber of Commerce Business Woman of the Year. It was an incredible honor and a funny year to be recognized. I am an avid ice tea drinker and coffee hater. My favorite thing in the world is holding up a (metaphorical) mirror for others so they can see how amazing they really are. It never gets old.
2. What inspired you to start your own business, Mother & Founder Co.
I was inspired to create Mother & Founder Co because of a few things. The first is, as a working mother I quickly realized how difficult it is to have ambitious professional goals and be the mother I wanted to be. I constantly felt like I was ok at a lot but great at nothing. I just kept thinking there has to be another way. My other way was entrepreneurship. I set out to create a business that was more sustainable and respected my & (and). I am a mother & a founder. I am both, where one starts and the other begins is hard to say and I wanted to build a company where one didn’t have to begin and end. I was allowed to bring my whole self to my clients and colleagues. The second, is through all of my work and helping hundreds of businesses, I felt a strong pull to help fellow women believe in themselves. I absolutely love being the accountability partner to a woman who has a dream. During our sessions, I give permission to dream a little bit bigger. to get quiet and listen to their inner voice. For many this is the first time in a long time they have listened to what their subconscious mind is whispering. Fundamental to my personal and professional growth was healing from my own long history of trauma. I helping others do the same was my life’s work. I received my Trauma Integration certification and have been guiding others through the trauma healing process since. It has been an incredible experience and I am so grateful for the trust my clients have in me.
3. What services do you offer?
I offer Trauma Healing services (virtual and in-person), an online Clarity Course to help you reconnect to yourself and purpose, break old patterns and create new habits, 1:1 coaching and Strategic Planning for small business owners.
4. Who needs the most help?
If you are a human, you need some type of personal development. We all need a safe space to process painful events, receive feedback and share our biggest dreams. People who are really ready to find a way to move forward tend to benefit the most from Mother & Founder services.
5. Where can we find more information on your packages and availability?
