PRAISE
Since 2013, people telling me what happened. Mentorship clients, people who took the classes, readers who found the book, and the teams I did the content work for.
Collected from LinkedIn, Facebook, Amazon, Goodreads and my own inbox. Every word is theirs. Where I cut for length, the cut is marked.
Mentorship clients
Some of this is writing coaching in the ordinary sense — a manuscript, a book proposal, a Substack, a body of work that has been stalled for years. Some of it is sovereignty work, which is harder to name until you are inside it. Most people arrive for one and find they came for both.
Jeanette is a loving and supportive writing coach, but she also calls me on my shit and kicks my ass to sit down and do the work now and then too.
Jeanette has the rare gift of shining a compassionate light on the truth underneath my words, and I have never felt as seen as when we work together. … She will gently yet persistently guide you there and patiently hold the space while you take it all in.
I was stuck with my writing and second-guessing everything I came up with. Her guidance turned my creativity switch back on.
Jeanette expertly guides writers to unlock their creative potential. She helped me access emotions and thoughts I didn’t know I possessed.
Jeanette LeBlanc is a life force, a woman who empowers those around her to meet their higher selves. I worked with her for almost a year to prepare a poetry book proposal to be sent in to a publisher. … I am forever changed by knowing her as a writer.
She gently pushed me to finish my short story and believed in the magic of my prose when I wanted to give up. She has a way of guiding you without pushing you.
In just six weeks she helped me unearth a project that has been inside me — haunting me — for over five years.
Working with Jeanette is a journey into your own soul. She is gifted at teaching you how to unearth the words you have been holding in you all along.
‘Stop apologizing.’ Those were some of the first words Jeanette said to me. Working with her helped me flip the script on beliefs that kept me limited.
She has a special skill in knowing when to push and prod and, truly magical, exactly how. It is her gift.
Jeanette is like a map and compass helping me to navigate unfamiliar territory with wisdom, humor, and powerful insight. … I often head into our meetings feeling discouraged by my slow progress and leave feeling inspired and energized to keep creating.
She creates a model for writing that took me from the surface and dropped me 3000 feet. It is like excavating the soul.
My experience working with Jeanette has been decadent. She extracts untapped creativity from my bones, and gave me a framework to evaluate my own writing.
I have a lot of trauma and wounding around words and writing from undiagnosed dyslexia. When I was unexpectedly drowning in words during lockdown, Jeanette supported me, trusting me to follow what was alive and to honour my own process.
She has inspired the writer in me who was hiding, self-doubtful and blocked, and is wonderful at helping me tease out the ideas lingering beneath the surface.
Each session brings new revelations, and the longer we work together, the stronger my writing becomes.
She unlocked creative ambition in me that I didn’t know needed a nudge, and helped me build strategies to stay committed to my writing.
She gets me! And in her getting ‘me’ I get me a little more me every day.
Her wise counsel is literally alchemical — she turned my incessant longing to write into a past memory.
Jeanette’s wisdom, talent, creativity, guidance, energy, and compassion helped launch me into next level, the next chapter in my life.
Jeanette is a full-throttle freedom doula. Before I met her, I knew parts of me existed that were unseen, unmet, and definitely unexpressed. She has been a catalyst for these various voices to join hands and climb out of the darkness of self-suppression.
Write your manifesto clients
I had been trying to give birth to my manifesto for years. I had tried programs of all kinds and none of them led me to my truth. So I called Jeanette and instantly felt seen, heard and so deeply supported. In just under two weeks I had not only a manifesto, but an invocation and a call to arms. She pulls out the gold and gives it back to you. She put my words together, not hers, in a way that everyone who hears them is brought to tears.
I went into Write Your Manifesto with very little confidence in my writing. Jeanette was a gentle guide, but she pushed me through my hesitant moments and didn’t let me hold onto the excuses I had been telling myself. It taught me that with the right prompts and practice, I can tell my truth in my own way with big impact.
Working with Jeanette is deceptively simple. She shows up exactly when you need her, with the exact medicine to make everything move smoother, but with the energy of a sister or friend — no rush, only trust. In three weeks we did more than successfully fund a $10,000 Kickstarter. We doubled my target audience, branded my content, and put more out into the world than I ever would have been capable of on my own.
The classes and courses
30 Questions in 30 Days, Wild Heart Writers, Write Your Manifesto, Unleashed. More than 800 people have written with me in a group since 2013, many of them again and again.
A course in writing from Jeanette is like staring yourself in the mirror all the way through to your own heart. The genius of her craft is how it calls us to connect with others by connecting deeply with ourselves.
Thank you for this beautifully made course. I’ve taken other self-exploration and writing courses and have always been left with a feeling of unmet wanting at the end — we may have half-heartedly scratched the surface, but nothing was pulled out. Today I sat at my desk and cried from a place I haven’t cried in a long time. And then I wrote. And for a few minutes, I was free.
I’ve participated in three rounds of 30 Q’s in 30 Days. Exposing myself in a group was terrifying in the beginning, and I was deeply touched by the responses I received. I felt seen and welcomed. It felt like the home I had always dreamed of. Today I know that my voice matters, and that means the world to me.
I am a very sensitive person and therefore very selective about where, and to whom, I open up my heart and soul. She creates a vessel of warm love and acceptance and rawness, and within it she teaches you how to mould your craft. Have you ever let loose and howled at the full moon? Then this course is for you.
I found Jeanette’s writing at one of the darkest, most tumultuous times of my life. I felt like she was speaking directly to me. When I saw she was leading an online writing workshop I jumped at the chance — I needed to write myself out of the emotional hole I had dug. What I got was nothing short of transformative. I was able to access and release dormant feelings, and access my deepest truths. She is part muse, part mystic, part mentor, and all heart.
Her thoughtful writing and well-crafted questions brought me deep into my true self. Through the 30 Day courses and Unleashed, I uncovered memories I thought I had lost forever. I am writing again, and that is her gift to me. She doesn’t hesitate to challenge you with a new perspective.
The daily questions took me to my soul and asked me questions that, even if I wasn’t writing them down, made me think all day long. It was life changing. She is an extraordinary shaman of the written word.
Writers, poets and editors
Jeanette has one of the most compassionate voices I’ve heard, so fully tender, and lit with gratitude.
Jeanette is a modern day prophet and an experienced word alchemist. She knows too well how to transform words into worlds and at the same time walk you through the fire of your own artistic manifestation. Her writing is therapy. Her art is healing.
Jeanette’s writing is deep, true, passionate. Beautiful. With a fierceness and cracked openness.
Jeanette makes me want to stay up all night, creating until my fingers bleed and my heart’s open, raw and howling. She channels my creative fangs and soulful cackle. She elevates. She delivers. She ignites.
She takes everything you think you ought to know about writing and flips it on its neat, perfect and boring little ass. She gives you all the permission you will ever need to do it your way.
Readers of You Are Not Too Much
I did not expect the book to travel the way it has — bought in eights and twelves, mailed to friends going through something, read out loud on retreats. Eighteen of them here, from Amazon and Goodreads.
Jeanette writes the deepest truths imaginable, things you don’t know are true for you until they break open your heart and it sighs, “Yes!”
Not your mother’s self-help book. Her words bring you back to the moments when you felt lost, and remind you that you survived them. They catch you, like falling into a feather bed.
LeBlanc weaves her way into the DNA of feelings — heartbreak, forgiveness, love, grief, all of it. She pours her heart out so we can see parts of ourselves we didn’t know existed.
A friend handed it to me and said, “I accidentally ordered two; you have one.” I’d lost my self-confidence and my joy. I felt very small. Then I started reading, and found myself circling, underlining, shouting yes over and over.
She has a deep and smokey wisdom that is equal parts soothing as it is sage and insightful.
It remains beside my back door, not my bedside table. I pick her up and gently allow the words fall into me. It’s for lovers of words, random thoughts and easy moments.
I am only on page 40 and I love this book. Honestly, I am trying to pace myself and soak up the beauty of it — the same way I do when I see something spectacular in nature.
I often feel as if each page was written just for me. My adult daughter and I take it on retreats, pass it around, and everyone picks a page to read.
Poetry is a language I speak in my heart with the people I love most, and her work has given me a more robust dialect.
This book puts into the most beautiful words the shared experiences of love, loss and forgiveness. Jeanette gives you wild permission to be you.
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows; it’s real, it’s raw. It’s comfort when I need comfort and a kick in the rear when I need that.
It took me nearly two months to give it the time it needed. It made me feel brave, wild, unapologetic, creative, and seen.
I gave this as a gift to my daughter. She was half through the book and bawling by the time she boarded the plane home.
The last few months I had felt uninspired and overwhelmed. Who am I to put my voice into the world? Then I started flowing through this book and her words made me feel like I was not alone.
This book gave me full body chills. I truly felt seen and heard for one of the first times ever.
The words are alive, and they have such deep meaning from day to day and person to person. I’ve bought eight of these to give as gifts, bookmarked and annotated so each one is personal.
I hold this treasure in my hand, close my eyes, let my heart reveal what it’s curious about and open the book. So far, each time, it has brought me to tears.
The pain, the heartache, and an inability to name fully the vastness of grief have been flooded open in each of Jeanette’s words.
Content consulting and strategy work
Manifestos, launches, brand voice, whole content programs — for solo founders and for enterprise teams at CVP and Infusionsoft. If you are here about content concierge, this is the register that matters.
Not only is my manifesto halfway done, we also now have the layout for my opt-in, copy to call in my tribe, 50+ topics for blog posts and the draft of my first course. Jeanette’s skills go way beyond copy — artisan, illuminator, strategist and word muse.
Jeanette’s words are like magic. She is a big idea person who also takes in every detail. I’ve enjoyed working with her on launching my new business venture.
She easily taps into a reader’s emotions and takes them on a journey with her. Open to feedback and collaboration, she thrives when she has enthusiasm around her projects.
Jeanette’s a builder of story systems, a protector of brand soul, and one of the sharpest content strategists I’ve worked with. At CVP she brought cohesion, depth and resonance to our brand voice. If you’re a leader looking for someone who brings bold ideas and can execute without hand-holding, Jeanette’s your person.
A dedication to getting the message out, the ability to coach writers on content, style and tone, and a deft touch in helping reticent writers find their voice.
Thoughtful, innovative and creative — she brought an esprit de corps to every effort. Her contributions were instrumental in rebranding the full enterprise.
What most impresses me is her capacity for expansive and creative thinking. Adept at both ideation and execution. Do yourself a favor and hire her already.
Not only a talented writer, editor and communicator, but a strategic thinker with a keen eye for marketing and branding.
She is a master storyteller who does a great job providing actionable advice small business owners can implement.
As seen in
Every one of them started with a thirty-minute call where they had nothing figured out yet.
Thirty minutes, free, nothing to prepare. We find out whether we should work together.
