Hello sister! My name is Jenny Sklar Gilbert and I’m a certified holistic life coach, spiritual mentor, and educator.
I’m a multi-passionate person—in addition to coaching amazing clients and leading courses and workshops, I’m also a writer and a flight attendant!
What else? Oh, and I have bipolar disorder!
Can you Relate?
My wellness journey began 17 years ago when I had my first manic episode as a college senior. Shortly after, I plummeted into an unbearable depression. My family dragged to the psychiatrist who took one look at me and my family history and stamped me with the B word.
For the next 8 years, I was trapped in a vicious cycle of extreme mood swings, isolation, and shame.
Life felt like bungee jumping between a sordid version of heaven and hell. During my (hypo)manic phases, I was on soaring chaotically on top of the world! And then when I inevitably plummeted into depression, suicide seemed like the only way out.
The Way Out…
Thankfully, just as I was about to give up, I crossed paths with an Ayurvedic practitioner. She taught me all about Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of health, which is all about creating balance in body, mind and soul.
I also discovered that at the root of my misery wasn’t just a lack of knowledge, but also a deep lack of love for myself. And that if I ever wanted to stop the war with bipolar, I needed to accept myself as I naturally am.
It wasn’t easy, but through changing my mindset, and doing lots of healing work, I reached a place of accepting, and eventually loving my bipolar body, mind, and soul!
Learning to love my bipolar self was so life changing that I just had to share my process with others.
So I became certified as a holistic wellness coach in 2020 and jumped right into coaching. And before long, leading bipolar women’s circles and courses!
Watching the transformation of my clients these past years has confirmed that this was what I was meant to do on this planet—-support my sisters to live their best bipolar lives!
Let’s be real, having bipolar disorder is never easy. But by having a healthy lifestyle and living my purpose, I’ve reached a place where I truly love my life. And wouldn’t want to be anyone else but me— bipolar brain and all!
And I’m passionate about helping every woman with bipolar get to the same place!
Are you ready to go from barely surviving bipolar to fricking grateful that you have it (trust me it’s possible!!!)
To love yourself regardless of whether you’re (hypo)manic, depressed, or stable?
And use your gifts and talents (yes you have tons!! I promise) to do something that lights you up?
If so, I invite you to come work with me!
You’re ready to live your best bipolar life!
But how the heck do you get there?
Ready to Soar?
We’ll begin with a holistic consultation where you will feel safe and supported to share where you’re at now. And where your soul is yearning to be!
Each week we’ll check in, and I’ll hold space for you to share about your wins and challenges. I’ll ask powerful questions that help you access your inner truth. And share activities and resources that help guide you towards more peace, inspiration, and power!
You will start feeling more love for yourself, ALL of yourself, than ever before. You’ll start OWNING your bipolar and feel inspired to use your bipolar gifts in service of the world.
