Jennifer White is a Clarity and Consistency Coach and the founder of Clearing For Launch Coaching, where she helps people hear their own voice and build a life they genuinely love. After 23 years of living by other people’s expectations, she lost her mother, and the grief sent her into what she calls “the pit.” There she battled depression, came to grips with her ADHD and created her own clarity process. A certified mastermind facilitator based in Kansas City, Jennifer now helps clients break free from feeling stuck and take steady action toward the lives they’ve been putting off.
In this episode, Jennifer White shares how, as a young jazz singer, she turned down invitations from Ray Charles and bassist John Clayton, letting her mother’s and husband’s cautious voices drown out her own. She describes how grief, meditation and a “summer camp for grown-ups” led her to coaching. She then explains her clarity framework: say what you truly want in a judgment-free space, speak it out loud, then take action that sharpens your clarity. Jennifer reflects on chronic pain as the inner voice trying to be heard. She also shares the story of a client who kept saying she wanted to adopt her niece without hearing herself say it, and who later won custody in court. Finally, she introduces Consistency Lab, her hybrid coaching program for ADHD women in midlife, built on creating your own systems and having a second one ready when the first gets boring.
