We recently connected with Jasmynn Abernathy and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Jasmynn with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
I grew up watching my mom work harder than anyone I knew. Despite being a single mother of three children, she always seemed to muster up the energy to show up daily for work; she even managed to work overtime on the weekends. My mom was the definition of a hard worker. She always encouraged me to do my best. Watching her persevere amid adversity empowered me to strive beyond my limits.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
As a marriage and family therapist, I work with individuals and couples to find relational healing. I help them address old emotional wounds and traumas so they can show up fully and get the most from their relationships. As a relationship coach, I equip Christian couples with practical skills to improve communication with their spouse.
I’ve recently launched a 12-week communication accelerator course for Christian couples who have tried counseling to no avail or are simply seeking a new and highly effective way to heal their connection with their spouse.
All in all, I love to see relationships thrive. Healthy relationships drastically improve our quality of life despite navigating day-to-day challenges. Community is key!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Perseverance, faith, and discipline were the most impactful. Faith helps you persevere when you want to give up. You have to have faith in the vision that you’ve been given. That will get your far when doubt arises, and doubtful thoughts are bound to come up from time to time. Developing the proper disciplines will also take you far when you lack the motivation to continue the race.
How would you describe your ideal client?
My ideal client is someone who recognizes that they’re struggling in their relationships. This could be in relationships with friends, coworkers, family, or their spouse. They get anxious about how to make repairs after falling outs or quickly let a relationship go without attempting to reconcile. They lack the tools needed to communicate authentically and assert themselves with confidence. My ideal client is looking to revolutionize the connection in their marriage so they can enjoy it rather than endure it.
