Become Your "Masterful You" Through Life Coaching

When one is experiencing conflict in one or more areas of life, such as feeling stuck in a job or relationship, lacking motivation, or repeating the same negative patterns, a skilled life coach can help.

Jennifer Mandel, Certified Life Coach at The Masterful You, explains that “life coaching is different than traditional therapy in that it does not consist of speaking about the present as it relates to the past, it instead relates to the future.” A life coach works with the client to identify areas of dissatisfaction along with identifying desired feelings or circumstances. “Then the life coach helps the client to establish new goals and set action steps,” Mandel states. “Coaching is designed for concrete, immediate changes that simultaneously transform different aspects of a client’s life.”

For those interested in exploring how a life coach would help, Mandel offers a complimentary consultation, coaching readiness assessment and a future client biography designed for potential clients to share about themselves.

Jennifer Mandel is a Certified Personal Development Coach through the Certified Coaches Alliance, with experience in education and psychology. For more information, contact [email protected] or 732-991-0093. TheMasterfulYou.com.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
