About Jill
My name is Jill Vyn, and I am a Certified Adult Chair® Coach. I love to support others on their own journeys so that they may discover their voice and feel empowered, seen, validated, and supported.
I have been a stay-at-home mom, therapist, and business owner. In addition to being an Adult Chair® Coach, I’m the co-founder and co-director of DisArt (2014), a nonprofit organization that pushes Disability culture forward through art and culture production, podcasts, and strategic coaching for businesses and organizations.
“Today I choose courage over comfort. It starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen. It’s owning your story and loving yourself and the best part is that courage is contagious.”
- Brené Brown
I love feeling lighter and want others to experience the lightness as well. I also know that it takes courage to ask for help. I know this because it took me years to build up the courage to go to therapy.
I was a very high-functioning depressed person for a long time until I wasn’t. I got very good at hiding my pain from others outside my immediate family until I couldn’t.
It’s because of my lived experience with depression, suicidal thoughts, and grief that I am passionate about supporting anyone who is “young at heart” with their mental health.
I can now honestly say that life doesn't have to be so hard and that you don't have to suffer in the shadows. I have been in therapy on and off over the past 20 years to find my own voice, to be empowered, and to "sparkle.” Instead of “trying” to do better and be more, I have learned to trust my journey, show up for myself, believe that I am enough, ask for help, and make time for play.
The Adult Chair® model provides a roadmap for supporting clients where they are and guiding them in such a way that they will begin to trust that the answers they seek are within them. I will support and guide you so that you too may get to the root of what has been holding your back so that you may live a life you love.
“Love the life you live. Live the life you love.”
