Women Branching Out: Jenn Burton
Very happy to have dating and romance coach Jenn Burton of Have Him Your Way on the blog today.
Jenn helps single women rethink dating and romance through one-on-one coaching, her virtual training program: The Courage Kit, and E-rresistibility: a guide to dating online.
Here’s Jenn …
Tell us about your business. What do you do, who do you love to serve?
I help women create extraordinary dating adventures that lead to lifelong romance. These days I am working with strong career oriented kick ass SINGLE ONLY women who are ready to give up what’s not working for them and find the paradigm shift that will rock her world, and his.
Why did you decide to focus on dating?
Essentially dating is your soul’s prep time for attracting a mate and learning to create lifelong romance. It’s not a necessary evil as so many women like to think of it. It is however an amazing opportunity. An opportunity to work out her kinks, define what she wants, and learn the secrets of igniting romance anytime she likes. Too many women believe that just meeting their man is the answer. Truthfully, it’s just the beginning.
What’s the biggest myth women believe about dating and romance?
There are a few:
- Dating: that it is a necessary evil instead of an amazing opportunity.
- Romance: That romance is static and that it should be great all the time with little creative input from her.
- Men: That most of them don’t want a loving committed relationship.
- Or my favorite myth: that you have to rock his world in the bedroom to be memorable to him.
When women work with you to help them create epic dating adventures what can they expect? What makes your approach to dating and romance different?
I teach women to become comfortable with managing male attention, which in turns gives her the ability to let loose and not hyper focus on making it down the aisle with one man in particular.
I also show her how to explore what she really wants in a relationship before jumping into it. Specifically, my gals know how truly precious her exclusivity is and that settling is not an option. Women who work with me learn my method of Mantourage Dating which is dating more than one man at once.
This method of dating is a beautiful immersion into understanding her romantic potential and possibility. It also helps work out those kinks of that hard to break pattern of dating one man for several months… then doesn’t work out… feeling like a failure for several months or worse obsessing over him. And then starting the cycle all over again.
Mantourage Dating helps women permanently break this cycle and fully understand their role in creating everything they want romantically. The surprising side effect is that most women get what they want way before they expect it.
What changes have you seen in the lives of your clients after working with you?
I am a total romance junkie… not the romance novel kind. The I can’t wait to get up and read the true life romance going on with my ladies. So I am privy to the hot, the loving, and the truly magical.
For instance:
- Going from no dates in 10 years to married in a year & half.
- Jetting Setting Romantic Adventures (to India, France, England, Costa Rica, etc)
- Having multiple high quality men to choose from
- Being asked out on 6 dates in one day
- Having a millionaire playboy fall in love with her
- From never married at 45 to finding the love of life in 8 weeks
- And countless women ending a crappy relationship, feeling like they will never have what they want to incredible romantic adventures and relationships many including marriage.
But the biggest and my favorite is when a women I work with finally understands that she can create and inspire a man to adore her anytime she wants and over a lifetime.
How has the experience of coaching others to discover lifelong romance impacted your life?
Coaching actually enhances my romantic life because I get help so many women in their romantic creative process. So that over flows into mine;)
How has having your own business empowered you?
The coaching part has helped me improve my creativity.
The business part is a mixed bag. It definitely has helped me with my business courage. But having an online business is no easy feat. So my resilience and my endurance have improved tremendously. And I have much thicker skin than I did before. But truthfully, I don’t always feel empowered by it especially when I am feeling exhausted. We business owners are some tough chicas!
What change do you want to bring out in the world as a result of your work?
I want to mend the romantic separation going on between men and women. Strong women don’t have to give up who they are to have an incredible romantic life.
What did 9 year old Jenn want to be when she grew up?
LOL…. I am almost afraid to say… Mind you, I watched way too much TV on my own. Okay… I wanted to be a pregnant stripper… Oh my goodness I can’t believe I am saying that aloud.
My other dream was to create an acting school for the hearing impaired. (Not sure where that came from)
Finish this sentence. I believe …
I believe that every woman has within her the ability to be loved, adored, cherished, and supported by a man or men she is insanely attracted to.
Jenn Burton is the Dating & Romance Mastermind/Romantic Fairy Godmother of HaveHimYourWay.com. After years of dysfunctional relationships, crappy dating experiences, & a failed marriage she decided to take matters in her own hands. Jenn developed a method to help women create the most incredible dating adventures while learning how to go from feeling ignored to absolutely adored by men they find insanely attractive. Now she exclusively works with single women who want it all career, success, to be loved, adored & romanced…and who are willing change up the status quo in dating. Click here to learn how to go from ‘Ignored to Absolutely Adored’ in 26 minutes.

Read MoreWomen Branching Out: Cara Citrowske
Very excited to have wellness coach and certified tobacco treatment specialist Cara Citrowske of Kick It Catalyst™ with us today.
Cara helps women quit smoking. To date, she’s helped over 500 women (and hundreds of men) kick the habit and become smoke-free hotties.
Welcome Cara …
Tell us about your business. What do you do, who do you love to serve?
Do you remember that bad boy you liked who you knew was bad for you but you just couldn’t resist him? Well, for many women, the bad boy is nicotine. My business is Kick It Catalyst™ and I love helping women gain the confidence to break up with cigarettes and become smoke-free hotties™.
Why did you decide to focus on smoking?
Smoking actually decided to focus on me. In 2006, my husband and I moved back from Turkey (he’s in the military) and I went to a job interview to be a corporate wellness coach. I have a Master’s Degree in Education and a bunch of health certifications so I thought, “I got this.”
Then, the interviewer told me the job would focus on tobacco cessation and asked me what I knew about it. I paused and blurted out, “Well, nearly every woman in my family smokes and I have nagged my mom to quit for the past 25 years.” I am not really sure if that counted as being qualified but I got the job (I would soon become very qualified).
Fast forward a few years later. After helping nearly 1000 “strangers” break their addiction to tobacco, I lost my aunt to lung cancer and another very close family member was diagnosed with it. I started following one of my health mentors, Kris Carr, and through one of her Facebook posts, I learned about a multi-passionate entrepreneur, Marie Forleo. She teaches people how to create socially-conscious online businesses and I said, “I’m in!”
I knew creating Kick It Catalyst would be the way I could help other families avoid losing loved ones to tobacco like I am.
When someone hires you to help them quit smoking what can they expect? What makes your approach to kicking smoking different from other approaches?
When you sign up for the Kick It Kickstart, I am 100% committed to your success. Crabby, sad, excited. I’m here for you no matter what. You will get a series of 1:1 coachings (phone or Skype) for 30-90 days depending on your needs. You’ll learn the real reason you want to be smoke free, how to kick cravings without gaining weight, and what you absolutely must do to prevent relapse. Oh yeah, you also get spoiled with surprises along the way.
My coaching program is different because it combines evidence based tobacco treatment with cutting edge behavior change techniques so you gain the confidence to break up with cigarettes and become a smoke-free hottie. No fear tactics or nagging included. If you want want to learn more about how I can help you, I am happy to offer 15 minute freebie coachings. You can sign up for a Kick It Quick Hit today.
Is there a secret to success for ladies who want to quit smoking?
Yep and I’ll tell ya when you sign up for the Kick It Kickstart (and it’s not willpower!)
What changes have you seen in the lives of your clients after working with you to quit smoking?
I’ll let my hottie, Angela, answer this one.
Cara has supported me 100% in a way that I have never experienced before. I can’t really share my fears and challenges with my friends or family – they don’t smoke and just don’t understand the love hate relationship I had with cigarettes.
Cara was totally in my corner and provided me with a whole new way of looking at the relationship I had with cigarettes and the way to let it go. Cara has been there for me to celebrate little successes and showed me how to build upon those and make the mental and physical transformation into a smoke free hottie.
There is absolutely no way I would be feeling the freedom and certainty I have now without her insight, compassion and encouragement and I know I will never go back to the pack mentality. I want to add that my family and I have faced a huge upheaval in the past few weeks that has injected an enormous amount of stress and tension into our life. But I haven’t smoked. And that is a total previously unimaginable miracle that I know has been achieved because of Cara and her program.”
How has the experience of coaching others through this challenge impacted your life?
It’s not nicotine but through coaching my hotties, I realized I’m a sugar addict. The “eat half a bag of cookies, throw the rest away, and then dig them back out of the trash” kind of addict. I couldn’t believe something could have that much control over me. It’s very similar to what my Hotties go through EVERY day. It’s shown me compassion, forgiveness, and persistence. I am proud to say I’ve been sugar sober since April 15 (my longest stretch yet!).
How has having your own business empowered you?
Quite simply, I am learning there really isn’t anything I can’t accomplish as long I am willing to ask for help and put in the work. This shift in perspective benefits my work and my family life.
What change do you want to bring about in the world as a result of your work?
While training at the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center to become a Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist, I was shocked to learn that if you try to quit smoking on your own, you only have a 5% chance of success and most people relapse within 3 days. Those statistics suck. I said, “enough is enough”. There has to be a better way.
This issue is so much bigger than bad breath and wrinkles. There are smart, creative, passionate women like my mom and aunt who are getting sick and dying because of cigarettes. I want every woman to know that if you want to be smoke-free, I am the girl to get you there.
What did 9 year old Cara want to be when she grew up?
A doctor. I guess I found a different way to help people heal.
