I had an aching, lonely, and closed heart at the time I sought out coaching.

I was also drowning at work and trying to navigate potential changes in my future for my career. I noticed that many repetitive patterns were showing up in my life regarding finances, relationships, and work. Throughout my life, I have always used therapy for introspection, but I was interested to see how coaching might be different.

Coaching with Devin allowed me to see myself with more clarity than I've ever been able to do before. I could see how everything in my life was reflective of how I felt about myself. My journey through self-love, compassion, and acceptance was transformative. I feel grounded and at home within myself, and I am able to access this with ease.

My heart has warmed and opened, and I am receptive to love. I am also receptive to me. I have worked hard, and my thinking is almost automatically shifted to providing kindness and compassion to myself during typical times of critique. I have accessed a special freedom, and that freedom is the safety of being me. Devin helped me get there, and she helped to illuminate this internal process.

When I started working with Devin I was feeling overwhelmed and uninspired in my business and finances. During the 4-months that we worked together, I experienced some incredibly powerful shifts in these areas.

Devin’s intuitive coaching style and loving support always provided the level of understanding and challenge I needed to go deeper in exploring my feelings, preconceived notions and negative self talk. She helped me navigate my limiting beliefs and find peace through the practice of being in allowance and showing gratitude for where I was in my life and business.

Working with Devin has helped me become a more confident version of myself. She helped me embrace my natural skills and empower myself to create healthy practices around celebrating the present and leaning into allowance mode. Devin’s powerful coaching questions and insights were so pivotal because they helped me rebuild my relationship with my higher self and experience true inner peace. Her ability to hold space and gently remind me how to celebrate my wins along with every step of my journey has equipped me with the tools and mindset I need to thrive in my life and business for years to come!

When I started coaching with Devin, I had dropped out of grad school, gotten laid off from my last job, and had no idea where I was headed.

Devin's approach lovingly blasted away the fears and insecurities I held around my career, opening space for me to explore what it was that I really wanted.

She worked with my innate strengths, demonstrated skills, and preferred lifestyle to help me identify a direction as early as our second call, and then she offered a wealth of support and tactical advice to get me there. Devin's holistic approach to career coaching left me feeling so full and heart-centered in my work and empowered to continue my career journey on my own. Her unique combination of professional know-how and life coach-style soul searching helped me find clarity and confidence in my career.

I left our 3 months together not only with a direction, but with a part-time job building community at a yoga studio and freelance-to-permanent role at a creative agency.

Working with Devin was a real gift and a really special experience. I started working with Devin when I was at a crossroads in life and my business. I just was not feeling like I was where I wanted to be in my heart.

Devin is such a light and she is just pure love in it just you feel it. It was a complete non-judgmental space to explore to look at hard questions, and to show up exactly as I was.

She helped me heal my relationship with myself as well with trusting other women and letting myself be seen by another woman. Which was a wound that I didn't even know how desperately that needed to be healed. She has a really special way of holding space for you to go exactly where you need to go …

She just goes above and beyond always thinking of you.

I had been in therapy for years and I had worked with many coaches and I had kind of written it off because I was let down by a lot of people in the field. But I trusted my instincts [with Devin], and I'm really glad that I did.

I would recommend her to anyone and I will continue on my journey and a really new way from a place of love and surrender and acceptance. It's a real gift to be able to work with her. So thank you.

“Devin’s been absolutely amazing. She and I worked together for a couple months during a really hard time in my life last year and into this year, and working with her, so much changed. Starting working with her, I was all about my resume, LinkedIn and wanting to get professionally perfect and by the end of our couple months together, everything had changed. 

I realized that my soul was really still in my business despite the fact that there was so much upheaval in my life and there was so much begging and tearing me away from what I knew I was supposed to be doing. 

I really found the courage and the resilience with Devin’s help to continue going. I started making more money than I've ever made in a month which is crazy and I just have not only the financial stability but the sense of self. I think that’s really really important. 

Devin really helped me realize not only what I wanted to be doing, but really more of who I am and the potential and possibility in a time of giant upheaval for me. 

I highly recommend her. Do yourself a favor and give yourself time to work with her. I promise you won’t regret it.”

During our time together, I tapped into my full potential.

We identified my natural gifts and what is most meaningful to me, which gave me the reassurance and confidence I needed to fully step onto the doula path.

Devin dared me to think expansively and not limit myself to simply what I’m used to and what I know.

Here, I felt my spark, my purpose, my unique contribution, the work that no one else could do. Then arose the question of what was holding me back from such greatness and beauty. Devin guided me in locating fears and apprehensions. Imposture syndrome laid at the root of it all. In experiencing this very real hinderance as simply just an aspect of myself, I was able to see where my fears stem from, and how my fears have controlled me. I grew compassionate for this side of myself.

Devin encouraged me lovingly listen to all the anxiety my fear held. I needed to not only identify but befriend what was holding me back and Devin guided me in doing so. We broke down the beliefs I held that supported these fears and began the process of re-writing them and creating a new mindset so that I may step into full embodiment of the woman that I want to be.

Devins compassion and wisdom helped me step out of my own way. She is creative and adaptable and so talented at seeing the string that connects the pearls.

After working with her, I have a completely different relationship with self limiting beliefs. I am walking the doula path with confidence, grace and determinism.

Because of my time working with Devin, I am creating my soul career and I am becoming the woman I always knew I could be.

“Devin's coaching has been a crucial aspect in my academic, personal and professional life.

I remember being so confused when I met her.

I was confused about my goals, field, and facing a lot of pressure from others within my personal life. She simply got me aligned. It was certainly a process and she took no shortcuts. Devin helped me with my admission essays, finding a job that fits my goals, intense interview prep, confidence and setting boundaries within my professional and personal life. And this is just 20% of what she has to offer through her coaching. Today, I’m in a top 20 Masters in Finance Program and just accepted a job as a Risk Analyst.”

I joined The Soul Career when I was in a huge transition in my life and unsure of what was next for me. I was feeling trapped, scared and hopeless.

Devin made it so easy to open up, I felt truly understood and supported in my journey and was given different ways to see the situation.

She made me aware of opportunities in places that I wouldn't have thought, gave me personal and detailed training on the technical side of a career search where I struggle the most and gently guided me with confidence and ease. I have never felt more supported and am now on my way to a more aligned path in my career, one that matches my values and needs!

I started The Soul Career because my job was sucking the life from me. TSC gave me the confidence to realize I deserved more than I was being given. It allowed me to regroup and work on what I valued and wanted out of my life and career. Working with The Soul Career has helped me find my passion and I never want to go back to how I was 3 months ago. I have grown so much and no one and nothing can take that away from me. Gaining that confidence and passion has meant the world to me.

“When I first came to Devin, I was unclear on what it was that "I wanted". After working with her the last few months, I've gained the clarity that

everything you want is already inside of you, you just need guidance to bring it out

- and that's exactly what Devin did. In the few short months we've been working together I've seen results in my business, personal life and she's provided me with the tools to move through life more purposefully.”

- OLIVIA / SAN DIEGO, CA

 

I came into the program feeling a bit "lost". I knew I was unfulfilled and unhappy in my job of 8+ years, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next. Over the course of 12 weeks with Devin and the other amazing women in TSC, I was able to tap into my strengths, get clear on what lights me up, and gain the practical skills to apply and interview for jobs in different industries. Devin gave me the confidence, guidance, and support to take the plunge into a new career path.

“I came into this coaching fed up that my high-achieving ambitions seemed to not want me to be happy; Devin helped me dance right through the storm.

Even though I had goal systems already in place, she helped me focus on the harder, underlying factors of my past and personality contributing to my pain and challenges. Her expertise and positive spirit helped me deeply and made the whole process great.”

- NINA / SAN DIEGO, CA

 

“When I first came to Devin, I was switching careers, and really lost. I didn’t really have a direction of where I was going. Career Coaching with Devin really clarified my values, my strengths, my likes and dislikes out of all the jobs that I’ve had. It helped me realize my worth and change my perspective…

She instilled a sense of confidence in me that I didn’t know that I had.

She helped me be unapologetically myself. Her intuition, her knowledge of the field and her amazing way to motivate and inspire you…that’s something really special. I just accepted a job offer and it’s everything that I could have imagined for myself.”

- NATALIA / CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA

 

The Soul Career came into my life at the perfect time. I was feeling lost, stuck and unfulfilled in my business and craving a team to work with. As someone who loves entrepreneurship, it was hard to imagine letting it go, even though I knew I was ready for it. The Soul Career showed me how to find the through line between who I am, what makes me unique and where I want to go, as well as how to get there. The mix of practical job hunting tools like writing a cover letter, preparing resumes and networking with softer skills like values and strengths made this a huge win for me. I will definitely come back to this material again when I am ready for the next step in my career journey.

Every time I leave our meetings I feel lighter. She helps me gain clarity and a greater sense of calm when it comes to thinking about my future.

Devin has a way of listening to my struggles that makes me feel like she is solely there to help me in that moment. When I’m talking, I can see her mind is at the same time formulating a creative plan that will push me in the perfect direction. When she speaks she offers advice, stories, and questions that are uplifting and thought provoking. I cannot express enough how much this woman has inspired, and embraced me with love. I have grown so much from my time with Devin and you will, too. If you are looking for someone to give you unconditional, positive support, care for your development deeply, and blow your mind, then I highly recommend working with Devin. She has a fun, creative, and loving way of helping you discover new and exciting things about yourself and your future.

Devin helped me discover my strengths and made my time working with her challenging but in a way that helped me grow in my natural strengths.

She encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zone and realize the power of my voice and imagination.

Being a woman in the workplace there are so many guidelines built by society saying who you can be and how you can talk. But by witnessing how Devin led, I realized that the world would be a dimmer place if we all dimmed our sparkle. Devin has a deep heart that seeks to understand others and to bring out the best in them. She helps people find the dream that they’ve buried under lies and imagined limitations and she speaks truth that helps those barriers melt away.

I cannot recommend her enough! Devin is a very talented coach and leader in her industry. She is super knowledgable and has connections everywhere! Not only has she greatly guided and assisted me in my career journey, but she also treats her clients and students like friends.

She has restored my confidence in my own business and has helped me realize my own strengths and ability to take my business to the next level.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a mentor that truly has a holistic and results (and relationship)-oriented approach. She is truly one of those people that leads by example and calls others to living through their strengths to be healthy and active, growing members in their industry and the community. You will not be disappointed!

Recently I attended an event and had the pleasure of listening to Devin Jones’ presentation on “Find your purpose.” As a military spouse, mom, and holding down a full time job you often get lost in the motions of everyday life. After listening to Devin it helped me reconnect with myself as a person and acknowledge my strengths. Most importantly how to improve my communication in my day to day life.
