Hello there, đź‘‹
I am Magdalena Jensen, a transformational coach, certified NVC conflict mediator, certified Women’s Circle facilitator, creative director and consultant in the music industry… and I am a woman excited to have rediscovered my joy in life.
I was born in California and grew up mainly on the West Coast of the US, moved to Poland at 18 and spent my adult life (save a few year degree stint at the University of Vermont) in Europe. I spent most of the last ten years on the road in some form or another - having left radio journalism to focus on the music industry full time, starting off as a tour manager. spending a few incredible, unregrettable years of my life squeezed into a van touring Europe, graduating into co-founding my own agency in 2016. The travel did not stop there however, I just moved up to budget airlines and a lot of hotel rooms, promoting artists as well as working for a variety of clients in the music business, including Converse, The Orchard, Music Norway, Dohop and many more.
Besides management and strategic consulting, I have always been passionate about peer-to-peer education. As an NVC conflict mediator and trained group facilitator, I use these skills to design workshops and programs for developing industry professionals - the kinds of things I would have liked to have to support my growth in the music industry.
I have a lot of positions on my CV - from co-founding and running a music agency to Creative Director in a record label (I co-own Balance It Out and Chimes Agency) to being a founding board member of a pan-European NGO that supports music managers (EMMA) as well as the educational lead for a womxns network (Keychange)… I have even named a couple of buildings in Warsaw’s budding financial district as a copywriter. I thrive off of variety and am passionate about many things. Like most humans, I love a good story and the nuances of language. I like to be busy creating and living with intention (and not just talking about it).
While I do LOVE being a multi-faceted woman in this modern world, my ambition and drive twisted into hustle and grind and I burned out badly in 2018. Having recovered physically after a bout in the hospital, it took until mid-2020 for me to really come back to myself. I switched directions and trained and certified as a, ICF-accredited transformational coach with Animas. In 2021, I was called to join a 7-week initiation ritual in the art of Women’s Circle facilitation with Global Sisterhood and am now a certified Women’s Circles facilitator.
A bit more about me...
How do I work?
I am fascinated by the human brain; the influence one’s actions, behaviors and thoughts can have on it and how it supports or hinders us to thrive in our lives.
As a transformational coach, I support you, founders with a fast-paced, ROI- and KPI-oriented life to slow down, reconnect with your values and tap into your inner power to really live the life you want (not the one you “should” - who says you should!). I work with you in conversation, employing tools, models, questions, intuition and a few bits and bobs from mindfulness disciplines. I find the power of the breath over mind and body to be astounding and will likely ask you to tune into your breathing at least once during our session. Guided visualizations have opened up a whole realm of possibilities for me and I create that experience for you, knowing that it is such a key support to not only relax your nervous system, but also visualize your future as well as re-program your subconscious to help you step into it.
Above all, my role as a coach is to hold a space for you that supports you to discover and align your values, step out of your comfort zone and trust that you are creative, resourceful and whole as you progress, develop and thrive with confidence.
Why did I change careers?
Remember how I said I like to be busy? That got on top of me and I experienced a prolonged burnout that caused me to reevaluate my life. I needed to find my joy again.
The past 2 years have brought a lot of unexpected changes to this world… in the midst, I was forced to slow down, turn inwards and surrender control. I was sick of feeling exhausted, moody, angry and overwhelmed. For my adult life, I was so career-driven that I had swung so far into my masculine energy that I was out of balance and totally burned out. And so I made A LOT of changes to re-discover the divine feminine power within. I’ve gone through quite a few ups and downs to find my balance - and I am constantly holding that delicately in place with regular practice and attentiveness to my needs.
This journey of self-rediscovery in my early thirties has brought me to coaching - as if I knew this is the work I am meant to do all along and simply had to tap into a vision of my future self to find out. I love people - I thrive off of human connection and interaction and self-reflection and complexities and conflicts and… I could go on. Because of my entrepreneurial background, I am super passionate about supporting high-achieving founders to connect better with themselves, their intuition and deep inner knowing. I am totally turned on by seeing others step into their power!
What is my mission?
I am on a mission to support high-achieving founders to live your best life. I support the rise of the divine feminine to restore humanity and the planet.
I want to live a life filled with love and joy and support others to find their joy and lead with love. The world needs us now more than ever!
I want to feel energized and purposeful in everything I do and build communities with others who feel the same. I want to contribute to a world that is rich in diversity, tolerance, compassion and grace and filled with abundance. I want people to know themselves better, surrender to the Universe more and feel a greater sense of fulfillment.
I am so excited to support the rise of the divine feminine in the collective consciousness - let’s rise together and restore balance to society and the planet! I believe this is THE ANSWER for humanity and Mother Earth. ✌️🌎❤️
