We are Betsy Burns, PhD and Saundra Jain, MA, PsyD, LPC - a licensed clinical psychologist and a licensed psychotherapist, and certified coaches, and the creators of Hello Heart Coaching. Between us, we have more than 75 years of combined clinical and coaching experience.

Our most important qualifications aren’t the degrees and certifications. It’s that this isn’t just our work. It’s our story.

Betsy’s Story

I spent years being extraordinarily good at adapting. I was thoughtful, accommodating, attuned to what others needed.

Right up until the moment I realized I’d adapted so thoroughly that I’d lost track of what I actually thought, felt, and wanted.

I remember the recognition landing quietly and clearly: I don’t know who I am when I’m not being what someone else needs.

That was the beginning of my own journey home.

Saundra’s Story

Like many women, I tried to keep my vulnerability hidden. I presented as capable, composed, together. It felt safer that way. I didn't fully realize what that safety was costing me.

Underneath it all, I had a quiet but persistent sense that life was happening to me.

The shift, when it came, was not dramatic. But it was real. I began to soften. To trust. And slowly I came to see that life wasn't happening to me. It was happening for me.

That realization changed everything. For the first time in a long time, I began to recognize myself.

Your Journey Home is the Signature Program of Hello Heart Coaching

Over and over, we kept seeing the same thing: women over 40 who were functioning well by every external measure, but who were quietly and persistently disconnected from themselves.

Not in crisis. Not necessarily needing therapy. But needing something. Needing a clear, supported path back to who she is.

What we knew she needed didn’t exist. So, we created it. It's called Your Journey Home, built for women in midlife and beyond who feel disconnected from themselves and are ready to find their way back.

Our Approach

The patterns that caused you to become disconnected were learned. While they once made perfect sense, they no longer do. What was learned can be unlearned.

We don’t tell you who to be. We help you remember who you already are.

Come Home

This work is personal for us.

Every woman who finds her way to Your Journey Home — Hello Heart Coaching's signature program — reminds us of the women we once were: capable, accomplished, and quietly searching for something we couldn’t quite name.

We found our way back. We know you can too. And we would be honored to show you the way.
