Hina Pitroda Jorgensen, MA, NBC-HWC | I am a certified holistic health coach and a certified mindfulness meditation teacher. Since moving back to Chicago from Singapore, I have created Bloom&Belong to support women in becoming resilient and balanced. I believe that you are the foundation you must make whole and strengthen so you can connect to the outside world with honesty and authenticity. When you operate from your true self, everything you do has a special lightness, serenity, and confidence. This authenticity supports your health and happiness. On this journey, compassion for oneself is what fills your cup, so you can give to others with kindness. Giving and sharing foster the connections that are essential to whole health and wellness. I find that this support is especially important for mothers-to-be and mothers, who are raising the next generation of human beings who will go out and impact the world. Mothering is full of constant changes and shifts, which can bring doubt, fear, overwhelm, and other stressors that women are conditioned not to express. We can do it all, all the time, for everyone! However, unacknowledged negative stress can lead to disease and ill health. Women/mothers need to be supported, seen, heard, and validated so they can be their own versions of a thriving mom. Because kids learn not from what you say, but your actions, and how you treat yourself. |
Carol Jungman | I’d like to tell you a bit about me and what has shaped JungFire Consulting and Coaching. One of my core values is exploration. Having lived and worked overseas as a young professional, I carved a path of cultural exploration. Cultural relativism allows me to see beyond the norms and myths of my upbringing. As an Organization Development practitioner, I’ve honed “self as instrument” and have learned to follow my curiosity and intuition, change lenses as needed, and name influences that are causing unhealthy dynamics. I see and analyze the interconnected layers of individuals, teams, departments and how the whole is interdependent with all of the parts. A core value that I’ve developed over time is authentic communication through deep listening, empathy, clarifying assumptions, owning my perceptions. These are key skills I utilize as a leadership and interpersonal coach. Because I’ve done a lot of inner exploration, I can hold space and keep clients in the center of the coaching experience. When teaching or training, I emphasize connection and agency: learning through and with each other and having choice. Adults learn best through sharing experiences, making meaning, testing assumptions and choosing how to engage. Workshops and courses are highly interactive, experiential and connective. As a facilitator, I value growth and learning through inquiry. We can’t know exactly where we will travel when a group of curious minds come together. Open and flexible design allows for an emergent process with important actions summarized. I’ve been deeply moved by facilitating racial healing circles which have helped me to heal from the harm of stereotypes, separation and dominance (an ongoing process). Just like culture, once one sees through an equity lens, there is no going back. I believe organization change work must assess the systems and structures which either create equity—or don’t—and the impact on stakeholders, communities and the environment. Centering those most affected and/or historically marginalized is paramount to shift society toward equitable outcomes for all. I am a continuous learner, and one of my joys is learning together with clients. Always mutual. |
