Jennifer Joy Butler — Love & Empowerment Coach

Most people probably know me from two things. One is being a relationship coach with my own practice. The other one is WomenAndTravel, which originally was my pet project but then grew to be as important to me as my coaching business.

I’m going to be completely honest with you — I’m not claiming that things were absolutely perfect in my life. In fact, in my first marriage — which, by the way, lasted for 10 years — I was extremely unhappy, but I just didn’t see a way out. Only when I finally mustered the courage to leave, I felt that I could help other women. Whether they have been wronged by men, are looking for a way out of a failing relationship or marriage, or are struggling to find the right partner, I feel like I can be helpful to them.

Originally, I only helped women in personal sessions.. But then, I discovered that men are essentially suffering from the same things as women do. They can also be single and unhappy about it, but struggle to find a good partner. This is where I realized that I can help both women and men. This is how WomenAndTravel was launched. On this site, I teach men to overcome their fears and find a girlfriend or even wife without feeling confined to their own city. I believe that international relationships are the future.

Although I’ve always had an interest in interpersonal relationships, I didn’t always know I would become a relationship coach. My first degree was a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from New York University. When I later realized what exactly I wanted to do with my life, I graduated as a communication and life mastery specialist from Bennet Stellar University. I’ve also completed several prestigious courses in relationships and dating, and spent the past few years further learning about international dating and how two people from completely different cultures can make it work.

Of course, and I’m especially proud of two of them. The first one is with Oliver Lewis from NewBrides.net. We met at an international dating conference and instantly clicked, so when Oliver suggested I join his team as a relationship expert and reviewer, I instantly said yes. The other one is with Irene Stevens of DatingScout.com, where I also contribute to reviews and dating guides. Irene and I actually go way back — I was in awe of her writing long before I founded WomenAndTravel, so I couldn’t refuse a chance to collaborate with such a fantastic writer.
