Jane Donovan Coaching

Creations made with so much love ❤️

I have been in my happy place creating small pieces of art for Tara Garrett and Ethan Garrett wedding including painting champagne glasses, champagne bottles and 240 handmade personalised cookies. After the wedding, I couldn’t stop so I made some birthday cookies for a dear friend.

Next up is a kindness project I’m working on where I’ll get to continue creating each day..,I hope 🙏 A day where I create is one that has my lifeforce feeling vibrant.

How many times have you asked the same question to:

Your friends
Your partner
Google
ChatGPT

Yet somehow, you're still going around in circles.

Sometimes the answer isn't more information. Sometimes the answer is seeing something you've been unable to see for yourself.

We all need someone outside ourselves to offer that valuable insight. And that’s why I've created Ask Upstairs Management.

A new 20-minute clarity session designed to help uncover blind spots, hidden patterns, beliefs and perspectives that may be keeping you stuck.

The question isn't always:
"What should I do?"

Sometimes the better question is:
"What am I not seeing?"

Bookings are now open ❤️

I’ve witnessed this one self-sabotaging truth thousands of times with my beautiful clients. It’s so common that I wrote a book about it as it causes conflict, hurt and misunderstanding in relationships. It’s making inaccurate assumptions.

We create stories, fill in the blanks, and react as though our assumptions are facts.

However, a simple question can often prevent unnecessary pain.

If you don't know, ask.

Communication builds connection. Assumptions create separation.

Imagine carrying a heavy emotional backpack every day for 25 years. You become so used to the weight that you forget what it feels like to be free.

Yesterday, during an Inner Child Rescue session, a client released decades of grief, anger, sadness, disappointment and resentment that had been living beneath the surface since a painful experience many years ago.

Later, she sent me this message:
“Thank you, Jane, I feel happy for the first time in a long time. A weight has been lifted ♥️”

Moments like this remind me that healing isn’t about changing the past. It’s about freeing ourselves from the pain we’ve been carrying from it.

Twenty-five years of emotional weight released that no longer needed to be carried. It’s a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to heal. Never underestimate what can happen when we stop coping with our pain and start healing it 🙌❤️

It’s Friday so date night for many. First date nerves can be self sabotaging. Remind yourself of your worth and while you’re at it, remind yourself, ‘it’s just a date’. Many people say no to opportunities to get to know someone a bit better because of the fear of ‘leading someone on’. A date isn’t a commitment to anything more than, ‘I’m curious and would like to get to know you a bit more’. Go have fun being curious and playful and excited at the potential to connect with another. And ... if you don’t connect, you’ve had a new experience and valuable opportunity to practice dating and kicking those first date nerves to the curb.
