The Mindful Ascent
Life coaching at the intersection of mindfulness, attachment theory and high performance studies with Unified Mindfulness Lead Coach, Jess Lipman.
In this 6 month container, I help people become more heart-centered, equanimous, and courageous so that they can most skillfully make their impact. Intentional living and earned secure attachment resides at the intersection of clarity + action.

Here’s why people come to me for coaching
#1. Here’s one reason why people seek me out. The truth is, my clients are already doing big things in the world. They’re managing impact projects. They’re leading teams. They’re badasses in their own zone of genius. But it feels like something is missing or misaligned.
My coaching container is for people who have accessed success in life, and are now looking to continue stepping into alignment in their life and career. Maybe they feel like something is missing, or they’re not truly living into their authentic calling and vitality. They’re looking to develop new habits, engage that next meaningful journey, step out courageously, and build the support systems within and outside of themselves.
#2. Here’s the second reason why people seek me out. My clients have attachment injury from early adolescence or challenging experiences in life, and as a result, have insecure attachment strategies that activate throughout their adult lives. Maybe there’s a deep fear of abandonment that lies beneath decisions, relationship dynamics and daily life actions. Maybe there’s a painful perfectionism, procrastination, corroded self-worth or hyper vigilance that negatively impacts your career, relationships and access to your creativity. Or maybe there’s a fear of intimacy that’s stunted one’s ability to engage in relationships of depth, alignment and mutual reciprocal support (or drives them into dysfunctional relationships that eat up a lot of energy).
My clients are interested in developing more self-mastery around attachment, gaining clarity about their attachment style and tendencies, as well as learning the core pillars of secure attachment and how to earn secure attachment through meditative strategies, behavioral changes and interpersonal strategies.
Why heal attachment? Insecure attachment strategies can inhibit our ability to explore what’s most meaningful in life, and it can stunt our capacity to development meaningful, reciprocally supportive relationships. Life can feel small, safe and dissatisfying within these conditions.
I help my clients go after what’s most meaningful to them, and cultivate the safe haven, self-worth and interpersonal skill sets to resiliently take meaningful risks in life.
Impact makers and creatives are inevitably going toward their growth edge, facing challenges and paving new paths. Contending with this kind of change and exploration can be emotionally disregulating, leading to burnout, stalling out and freezing up. This reality necessitates that they have strong well-being practices, healthy tools for emotional self-regulation and co-regulation, and consistent clarity-development practices in place. That next level and sustainable engagement with one’s growth edge requires compassionate, effective and holistic strategies. Otherwise, people burn out, stall out or go back to what’s safe (and less meaningful).
That’s where I come in.
As an innovator, you need to take risks in order to create long lasting solutions.
But you need a RESILIENT nervous system
to do so sustainably.
Do you want to take the leap this year and launch that passion project that’s been calling you in for YEARS?
What brings your soul alive (that you’ve been avoiding or minimizing)?
Are you ready to unlock a part of yourself that’s been laying dormant, but not exactly sure how to?
What’s that next big venture that’s calling out to you?
What’s holding you back from feeling aligned in your relationships, passions, career and spiritual journey?
Ready to dive into life - your relationships, passions, new ventures - but don’t have the resilience and equanimity to do it well?
In 1:1 coaching, I create the space for you to engage life at your growth edge and cultivate a foundation of self-worth and support.
Leading people and working in dynamic teams calls for elevated skills.
Maybe you’re leading a team of 5 to 20 people (or you’re working within that team).
Do you find that you’re in need of skills to demonstrate more compassion, empathy, and influence within these team efforts?
Do you find that you’re triggered by certain situations or people, and no matter what intention you set, you can’t seem to figure out how to RESPOND skillfully in those moments?
Do emotions arise during the day, hijacking your attention and productivity?
Emotional regulation + mindfulness are key when navigating the complexity of interpersonal communication. In 1:1 coaching, I share with you how to integrate specific mindfulness strategies and secure attachment strategies into your roles in the world so that you can establish strong boundaries, compassionately communicate and get your needs met (while meeting their needs).
Ultimately, your capacity to steward collaborations and teams gracefully impacts your legacy: the impact you make, the work you get done, the connections you share with others, and the meaningful creations born out of your collaborations.
Here’s some common challenges my clients
face prior to participating in coaching…
ANXIETY, ANGER, FEAR, RESENTMENT…
You do awesome work in the world, and maybe you’re even leading up teams and big efforts to support brands and impact. With big work comes the necessity to know how to emotionally regulate yourself. When emotions arise throughout your day, do you suppress them, or do you know how to process them completely? I help my clients learn how to emotionally self-regulate and co-regulate, so that they can be most skillful in the world and relieve as much suffering as possible.
CHASING DOWN RELIEF
And, in order to slow the thinking or get away from yourself, you do things like: have a glass of wine, binge Netflix, scroll through your Instagram feed, embrace workaholism (I’m just your normal Type A!), chase adrenaline, drama bond with your coworkers, or [insert maladaptive coping mechanism here]. You find yourself taking refuge in some solutions outside of yourself (that are short-term and maybe on the lower vibration side of things…)
REACTION VS. RESPONSE
Are you triggered by certain situations or people in life, and no matter what intention you set, you can’t seem to figure out how to RESPOND skillfully in those moments? You react, say some things that you maybe regret, and now you’re in a shame spiral and chasing apologies… rinse and repeat. I help my clients create SPACE between that inner reaction and the response, so that you can live intentionally and with integrity.
SURFACE LEVEL SPIRITUALITY
You know that mindfulness is the answer! And you listen to guided meditations sometimes when you can squeeze it into your schedule. But you find that you’re still feeling anxious regularly, you still feel caught in thinking. Maybe you find that your practice feels really distracted or aimless, like you’re doing something, but you have no idea what skills it’s cultivating inside of you, or when to expect results from your practice. You’re missing context and a framework!
THINKING SPIRAL
Do you live predominantly in your head? For many creatives, innovators and leaders, thinking is their superpower! But it can become imbalanced and painful. Perhaps thinking runs the show, the moment you wake up, to the moment your eyes shut at night. Compulsive thoughts. Ruminating about a work project. Maybe you wake UP working (in your head) in the morning! It’s exhausting. I help my clients work with thinking and relieve the underlying emotions (so that they can be more present, easeful and feel safe.)
CREATIVITY IS DRIED UP
Your ideas and innovation are low in quality, but your work and your creative life call for stronger muscles in that area! Maybe you’re a creativepreneur (like me!) and need to provide strong strategy to others (so if creative juice turns off, you’re screwed!) Or maybe you feel called to come up with new ideas that will help business pivot at this time and meet the needs of our current culture and marketplace. Perhaps you are thinking, but it’s more on the side of worried thoughts, and rumination on the past or future. It’s not the kind of thoughts that lead to that next big idea (but you crave that so much!)
MY COACHING SPECIALTIES
-
I share with you how apply mindfulness in all areas of your life for ultimate ease, clarity, creativity, and connection. I work with a system called Unified Mindfulness, which is a science-backed, secular mindfulness system designed by Shinzen Young that is designed to train your attention and cultivate deeper levels of happiness and clarity in all areas of one’s life. Whether you’re looking to increase productivity, elevate your concentration, or relieve resentment, this system can support you with your targeted goals.
-
Attachment theory is a psychological framework that makes sense of the ways in which you orient toward yourself and to the world (interpersonally). In theory, your attachment strategies as an adult may be determined by the way your caregivers (or important attachment figures) oriented toward you in early development. Attachment is adaptive and malleable. It also can have a significant impact on our ability to be authentic with others, to go after our passions, to explore what’s most meaningful to us, to be willing to get our needs met in life, and to enjoy reciprocally meaningful relationships. I support clients in coming to understand the tenets of secure and non-secure attachment styles, so that they can move through the world with more awareness and skill. I also share ways to approach the healing of one’s attachment strategies to ultimately develop earned security and expand one’s capacity to explore what’s most meaningful to them.
-
Systems and workflows are the lifeblood of any sustainable endeavors. I provide my clients with effective, proven workflows, project management systems, my go-to platform/app recommendations, self-evaluation systems, and more (to support both personal and professional endeavors). Whether you’re looking for greater productivity, stronger self-clarity and awareness, heightened concentration/focus, increased creativity, or less fear of authority figures or receiving feedback, I’ve got a system for you.
-
High performance is defined as “succeeding beyond standard norms over the long-term.” In other words, consistently performing at your best. For 3.5 years, I worked in-house for Brendon Burchard, the world’s leading High Performance Coach, learning both high performance curriculum and managing the online course library/community for thousands of high performing clients. I bring to you the game-changing strategies and curriculum that are used to support leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, and creatives thrive in all areas of life. This system is designed to elevate your psychology, physiology, interpersonal skills, performance + productivity, and overall clarity.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is an awareness and a practice. The practice is comprised of techniques that anchor your attention in the present moment (which you can perform while sitting with your eyes closed or even while you’re going about the activities of your day). In practicing, you are cultivating concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity (the core attentional skills that elevate the quality of your focus, performance, capacity to connect, creativity and more). I support my clients with integrating mindfulness strategies into their daily life in ways that work for them and that support their specific goals, powered by the Unified Mindfulness system as well as an attachment-healing meditative approach. There’s many ways to practice mindfulness and leverage it for greater contentment and impact. I’ll help you identify what works best for YOU.
Hi! I’m Jess Lipman, and I’m so happy you’re here.
I’m a Unified Mindfulness Lead Coach, and I live to help people fall in love with their life.
I am a mindfulness coach, business coach and marketing consultant for creative, trailblazing, purpose-driven individuals and brands. I am founder of The Mindful Nest, Co-Founder of Being Resilient, Editor-in-Chief of PersonalBrand.com, and co-founder of Recovery Dharma.
With over 15 years of mindfulness practice and deep knowledge across multiple psycho-spiritual frameworks including Attachment Theory and High Performance studies, I support people in elevating their lives holistically.
I hold a Masters degree in Critical Studies from USC School of Cinematic Arts, and now apply critical analysis, deconstruction and theory to the human inner system + consciousness (within my mindfulness-based life coaching approach).
I offer a unique fusion in my approach to the intersection of mindfulness and business, with over 15 years of meditation under my belt, and experience leading business and marketing efforts in major personal development and wellness brands. My experience in business and the personal development helps me work effectively with professionals and creatives who are interested in psycho-spiritual approaches to deepening fulfillment, authenticity and interpersonal dynamics.
I’ve worked with and have been trained by some of the best in the industry including Brendon Burchard (NYT Best-selling author and High Performance Coach), Jim Kwik (NYT Best-selling author and Memory Coach), Shinzen Young (Founder of Unified Mindfulness), George Haas (Founder of Mettagroup), Commune and more.
I’m not very ‘woo’ when it comes to mindfulness (but I respect more spiritually-centered frameworks and approaches). I ground the application of mindfulness in the practical: my interest is in helping you train your attention and build emotional regulation skills that directly strengthen your role as a professional, innovator, family member, partner, creative, friend and human. My goal is to provide you with the psycho-education, space for clarity to arise, and targeted strategies to help you live from a place of secure attachment, compassion, love and skill.

“Jess makes me feel powerful, calm, and loved and inspires me to shine. These days, I’m making choices based on new revelations brought up during our coaching sessions and reflection, instead of fear.”
— Hannah H., Creative Agency Manager,
Minneapolis, MN
“Before working with Jess, I didn’t believe that I could have the life I so badly wanted. I was so accustomed to hiding my authentic self from the world and honestly...myself. Despite being professionally successful, I had no sense of direction or motivation because I was making choices in my life based on what I believed others thought was best for me. I would frequently wake up in the night with a feeling of anxiety. I had a million things to do, yet none of them really excited me. I never wanted to admit that I wasn’t happy. Deep down, something told me there was something more I needed to do with my life…more meaning, more purpose. And I didn’t even know where to begin to uncover this.
That’s when I called Jess!
Since working with Jess, I stepped into a major role in building a company (something I never thought was possible) that now provides great work/life balance and true excitement. I’m more present in my relationships, and I beat myself up a lot less. I’m more willing to be an honest, authentic version of myself without obsessing about what people are going to think. Jess makes me feel powerful, calm, and loved and inspires me to shine. These days, I’m making choices based on new revelations brought up during our coaching sessions and reflection, instead of fear. I am more confident in who I am than I have ever been and have been using my voice and shining my light in the world.
Instead of feeling like a victim of circumstance, I finally feel like the creator of my own life and it’s all thanks to the bright and brilliant soul that is Jess Lipman! If you ever get the chance to work with her - I HIGHLY recommend that you do!”
— Hannah H., Creative Agency Manager, Minneapolis, MN
“Jessica helped me successfully navigate two job transitions with great results.
I was at an impasse with a long time employer due to compensation and culture. I needed help to pull the trigger and make some changes.
I am not typically a “self-help” enthusiast, but Jess’s method is grounded and logical, and ultimately fit my needs perfectly. She helped me realize my value and convinced me to take the risk with another employer. While, the new employer turned out not to be a good fit, she helped me identify it as the learning experience that it was and try again.
She coached me through the tough conversations I would face and gave me the tools to believe in myself and negotiate for what I needed. She showed me that it’s all about focusing on what you can offer while staying true to your own needs. She was a great advocate.
My next move resulted in a 30% more compensation, increased responsibility, upward mobility, and even company-paid grad school. I am very grateful for her coaching!”

“Jess’ impact on my life has been immense.
Before I met her, I was caught up in co-dependency, living in cyclical patterns and denying my own truth. Jess helped me to see all of this with deep compassion and patience. She held my hand as I struggled to break free of my patterning, and believed in and celebrated with me at every new step into freedom.”
“I have a lot of respect for Jess’ knowledge and guidance.
She approaches situations with kindness and wisdom and really makes you feel like she’s on your team. If you need a compassionate guide to transition you into a better, more aligned life - she’s the one you want.”
