Have you been through every healing avenue you can think of, but still feel like there’s an invisible, undefined wall in front of you preventing your total healing?
You’re not alone.
Jill Monaco is a speaker, author, podcaster, professional ICF credentialed freedom coach, and founder of Jill Monaco Ministries, a non-profit that helps pursue the presence of God and find freedom in Christ. She helps people break free from their brokenness and authentically meet with God to be who He created them to be. But before the beauty and authenticity of her ministry came to pass, she experienced sexual abuse from a priest as a child, as well as inappropriate and unwanted behavior from a pastor as a young adult. Although sexual abuse is horrendous enough, the pastor then invalidated her experiences, accused her of seduction, and swept Jill’s statements under the rug. This denial of the facts and attempt to keep victims quiet is a prime example of Spiritual Abuse. Jill later discovered that the problem was more widespread, with several other women coming forward to tell their tales of his inappropriate behavior. If you want to read more about Jill’s experiences with sexual and spiritual abuse within the church, check out her blog through the links below.
Even after receiving counseling and coming to terms with the past, she found herself to be stuck in a loop of over-achievement, making the same destructive choices without addressing her hidden hurts. Through her own healing and self-discovery, Jill discovered that the mix of God’s truth, prayer, and coaching was the concoction many post-counseling clients were lacking.
A potential client may want to achieve their goals, but for some reason, they just can’t. Most of them have received counseling and have progressed through their healing, but they’re stuck and can’t quite pinpoint the reason why. While counseling helps a client deal with the past, Freedom Coaching® is designed to help a client achieve future goals. Sometimes they’re financial, business related, personal, or spiritual; it varies.
Jill’s goal is to help her clients identify the areas in which they have hidden pain, restrained forgiveness, and undisclosed fears. In doing so, they gain the tools to engage in the world and confidently move forward with their goals and aspirations.
