My name’s Jenn Gibson and I believe in dreaming big : I’m a life coach and the creator of Roots of She.
My mission for this go-round is this: To let you know that you are never alone.
I love yoga and the beach, am a photographer and writer, and am not above stealing snuggles from Bean the Boy Kitten.
Daily parts of my life are paper journaling, talking to her dear sweet momma & sky-gazing.

Alicia Thiede is a writer at Milagro Girl, a truth warrior, a revolutionary of all things feminine and a coach-in-training.
Somewhere in between junior high and her third tattoo she started to realize that the shimmer of life was losing its sparkle. The lies of life had become a forest she could no longer navigate. She began a quest for truth, which actually came quite naturally because she loves to soak up new information. The funny thing is that she couldn’t find the truth in the places she looked because it was inside her and she’d been carrying it all along. It just needed a little light to shine upon it.
She spent the last two years traveling this country in a home on wheels with her little gypsy circus and she left pieces of her heart along the way. She also collected stories and built a tribe that she will carry with her always. She loves the smell of sage and the feel of sea glass in her hands.
She longs for each of us girls to rediscover the fire inside, because it’s been there all along and we are the ones to bring it forth.

I’m Michele Lisenbury Christensen.
I fall in love on sight. Started at Vacation Bible Camp when I was four. But I’ve been a one-man woman since 1997. My husband and I have taken on fidelity as a spiritual adventure, not as a moral restriction. After years of sacrificing sensuality for stability in our relationship, we learned to stoke a steamy sort of domesticity (with two kids under 4!).
In another life, I could be polyamorous, bisexual, and maybe ambidextrous. In this one, I’m a wife, mama, and instigator of turn-on at every turn. I wear my huge professional ambitions and my passionate motherhood side-by-side, like merit badges on a red velvet Girl Scout sash. I’m leading the Turned-On Monogamy Revolution. It’s transforming the lives of people who’re called to committed love, but don’t want to sacrifice adventure, sensuality, or spiritual growth to have it. Monogamy is the hottest place on earth.
I was born in Colorado and grew up in Alaska. Not that any of us watch TV, but my dad’s business – where I worked for 11 years – is the subject of a History Channel reality show. The original Ice Road Trucker is Harry McDonald. He not only married my mom; he chose to be my dad. The song we danced to at my wedding said it all: “I’m everything I am because you loved me.”
On the first day of 3rd grade, everyone said one thing about themselves. Mine? “I’m psychic.” That was also the year I taught myself to meditate, inside a refrigerator box we used as a toy. Spiritual evolution – and the way everything, EVERYTHING is a mirror for our inner world – is my life’s throughline. The practice of Orgasmic Meditation fuels my body, spirit, and relationship. It’s the only way I’ve found to truly bring my gyroscopic mind to a standstill.
When I installed not one, but TWO, Venetian crystal chandeliers in my cozy office, my husband said, “They’re just like you: brilliant, sparkly, and a little over the top.” Fair enough.

I’m a storm tamer. I coach and move women through inner and interpersonal conflict while moving them towards peace with their truth.
I created Maybe Baby, a coaching journey for women ambivalent about motherhood but hear the whisper of “maybe” in their heart, after my own journey living that question.
I live on the Monterey Peninsula and coach and lead workshops around the world. I have a fondness for dark Belgian chocolate, sea otters, double entendres and storms at the oceans edge. I planned on becoming a midwife until I realized that calling was metaphorical.
I have a trove of coaching certifications and a cadre of degrees but my favorite tools are the trinity of intuition, wisdom and playful mischief.
And yes, I am a mama.
