Butterflies Are Liars (The Surprising Truth About Healing)

By: Jennifer Joy Jiménez

Updated: August 25, 2025

the truth about healing and transformation

Butterflies are liars.

They float past us like grace incarnate-sugar-winged and sunlight-soft-pretending they’ve always known how to fly.

But they forget to mention that once, they crawled.

They don’t flutter through the garden whispering about the hunger of caterpillar days, or the quiet ache of inching across the earth, belly to soil. They don’t show you the parts of their becoming where everything they ever were… dissolved.

No Instagram post ever says:
“Hey, just liquefied my organs today! #TransformationJourney”

Butterflies never post from inside the chrysalis.

But if…

Updated: May 22, 2022

How to quiet your inner critic and increase your confidence

“You’ll never stick to that exercise program, why do you even bother?”

You don’t cook healthy meals because you’re lazy. That’s why you always end up ordering take out.”

Does this sound familiar?

If you’ve heard these phrases (or other ones like these) inside your head, you’re not alone… or crazy! 

This is your inner critic, and it’s one of the ugly secrets many women feel carry that subconsciously keeps them stuck in…

Can you truly “have it all”?

Is it possible to succeed at your career without sacrificing your personal life?

So many women think of work-life balance as a ‘holy grail’ – a desired ideal that only a few achieve.

Perhaps that’s you – wishing to not be exhausted all the time, but not knowing how to make balance happen.

3 Easy Steps That Busy Women Can Take to Overcome Burnout and Become Vibrant & Healthy

By: Jennifer Joy Jiménez

Updated: April 17, 2022

Easy steps that busy women can take beat burn out and overwhelming

As we go through life, we hear so many stories about success and how it should look and feel like. And while a lucrative career is usually our default solution, it’s not always aligned with our soul mission and purpose.

Underneath the surface, it’s not really a job we’re looking for. We’re seeking a way to create a life we love — one of joy, freedom, fulfillment and peace. 

Many of the incredible women that I serve in my transformational health and wellbeing coaching practice often come to me feeling extremely burned-out and not…

3 Simple Ways to Be Calmer, Relax, and Reduce Stress

By: Jennifer Joy Jiménez

Updated: April 3, 2022

Simple ways to be calmer, relaxed, and reduce stress

How to identify stress symptoms and find the blessings in stressful situations.

“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.” – Leonard Bernstein

I love the Leonard Bernstein quote above because it highlights something that we don’t often talk about — certain stress can actually be beneficial.

5 Simple Ways to Be Your Own Valentine

So many of us have been taught to believe that we need to rely on someone else to feel cherished, honored, or loved – especially on Valentine’s Day.

I have so many clients who tell me how they just dread Valentine’s Day because they don’t end up feeling the way they would love to feel. They don’t receive gifts, beautiful flowers or cards, and if they’re single, they especially dread this day because it’s “in their face” that they don’t have a romantic partner. 

But what if Valentine’s Day could have a whole new meaning, and…

3 little ways to stand up for yourself and set heathy boundaries

Have you ever said yes when you really meant “no”, and you absolutely regretted it later?

Many incredible women ask, “How do I set healthy boundaries? I take care of everyone else (my work, my spouse, my parents, my children, etc.) and I’m putting myself on the back burner…”
