My Journey

Hi, I’m Jenna, the heart behind Wildchild.
I’m so glad you’re here.

Up until about ten years ago, I was a people pleaser. I ignored red flags, gave too many second chances, and let love and loyalty drown out my own instincts. I thought I was being kind, but really, I was abandoning myself. Without boundaries, I slowly lost connection to who I was.

Everything changed when I left an abusive marriage while seven months pregnant. I walked away from everything I knew. That decision took more strength than I thought I had, but it was just the beginning.

The years that followed were all about survival. I fought to protect my son and myself inside systems that were supposed to help us, but often didn’t. I navigated the court system, advocated for my son’s complex medical needs, and held everything together while falling apart on the inside. I was exhausted, heartbroken, and stretched far too thin. Falling apart wasn’t an option, so I kept going.

Until life forced me to stop.

In April 2022, everything collapsed. On the floor of my living room, in complete exhaustion, I broke down and in that moment, something shifted. I realized that my struggles weren’t just things to survive. They were shaping me. Every heartbreak, every setback, every moment of doubt was asking me to pause, reflect, and realign. To return to who I really am.

That’s what Wildchild was born from, a place of deep truth, reflection, and hard-won wisdom. Healing, for me, hasn’t been a straight line. It’s a constant process of checking in, coming back to myself, and choosing authenticity over approval. I’ve worked with incredible therapists. I’ve learned to sit with uncomfortable emotions. I’ve returned to joy through nature, movement, laughter, and connection. I’ve let myself be silly and soft again. I’ve learned that boundaries are not walls. They’re bridges to healthier, more honest relationships. And that joy comes not from performing, but from living in alignment with your truth.

As I unmasked and reconnected with myself, I noticed a part of me that had long been buried starting to reawaken, my creativity. I’d always had a natural eye for design and a strong sense for words and messaging, but I didn’t realize how much of that had been tucked away while I was just trying to survive. Once I gave myself space to breathe and be seen, this part of me came forward. What started as personal healing grew into helping others express their truth, shape their ideas, and step into new chapters with more clarity and confidence.

Now, Wildchild holds space for both personal and creative transitions. Whether someone is navigating identity shifts, healing relationships, or redefining their voice through a new business or offering, I walk beside them through it. This work is rooted in holding space, seeing what’s often hidden, and helping people move forward in ways that feel honest and sustainable.

As I grew more honest, present, and self-respecting, my relationships began to shift too. Most beautifully, I witnessed a change in my son. The more I aligned with my truth, the more grounded and joyful he became. The space I was creating in myself opened up possibility and peace for both of us.

And as I continued on this path, I found myself seeing others more clearly too; their strengths, their softness, and what inspires them, even when they can't yet see it in themselves.

Now, through Wildchild, I offer what I wish I had during those dark, uncertain times.
A space that is safe, grounded, and honest. A space where you can explore how you’re showing up in relationships, with others and with yourself. A space to reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with clarity, compassion, and courage.

I’m not here to tell you who to be. I’m here to walk beside you, shine a light on your strengths, and help you reconnect with your voice, your boundaries, and your joy, whether that’s in your life, your work, or your relationships. This work isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. It’s about living outside the boxes society built for us and making room for the messy, beautiful truth of who you really are.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be willing to come back to yourself, again and again.
