Welcome! 

I'm a relentless believer that you can thrive in these wild times.

Hi!

my story

More importantly, I practice what I preach.  I show up in this life to make it better, to be of service.  I've been through hard times, and know what it's like when you desire something more.  I believe  in relentless gratitude and joy, having a dream, getting after those limiting beliefs - even when the world seems upside down, and action, action, action.

I believe in asking the right questions, and helping people surprise themselves with the answers of what they would really love.  I'm all about experiences that will leave you feeling inspired about your life AND equipped to make the progress that you've always stopped making, a framework to help you transform.  Did I mention, I'm also a fanatic about journals, workbooks, bullet pages to capture your inspirations and plans?

No need to fly to Bali for this experience.   I'm a Minnesota girl who believes you may just need a little space for this decadent life to be designed, for momentum to start.

Living with joy and intention, thriving in a world of chaos and disruption is no joke!  However, after you learn some tricks, life can get better and better!  

I'm Jill Saunders.  Let's be honest, I've had my share of broken moments.  From miscarriage, divorce, job loss, financial struggle, depression, and being raped.

And, I've had thriving success.  Over the past two decades, I’ve coached and facilitated leadership development and team performance workshops for thousands of leaders and employees in Fortune 200 companies, like Ceridian, Wells Fargo, Cargill, General Mills, Mosaic, UBS Bank, Hilton Hotels, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and CHS.

I have developed coaching expertise with a coaching certification from the Hudson Institute and coursework from the Coaches Training Institute. I became a certified HeartMath® coach and trainer, integrating science-backed tools for regulating our nervous system and improving brain performance.

I’m a mom of a 24 year-old ginger, Tyler. I love him to pieces and am so grateful for our relationship.  He started med school in 2025, so proud of him!  We love to explore Hawaiian islands .

I love my morning practices.  Starting the day in heart and brain coherence + gratitude + coffee sets me up for success!

I’m a Minnesotan. I was born in St. Paul, and have spent my adult life in Minneapolis. I own and operate a snow blower. For over 50 years of my life I have visited this special lake, Lake Marquette, every summer.
