Hi there, I'm Jolene, the heart and soul behind Cashmere and Matcha.
I've walked the same path many of you are on right now – trying to figure out who I am, what I want, and how to get there. In the midst of life's tumult, I found solace in unlikely places – the soft embrace of cashmere and the soothing ritual of sipping matcha. Despite facing significant challenges, including surviving trauma and battling mental health issues, I was determined not just to survive but to thrive.
Over the past decade, I've cultivated a successful full time career as an engineer, carved out a cozy corner in homeownership, embraced the joys of pet parenthood, and even explored the liberating art of pole dance instruction for two fulfilling years.
Through my journey, I've gleaned a crucial insight: mere advice isn't enough; we crave understanding, support, and connection.
That's why I founded Cashmere and Matcha. It's more than just a coaching service; it's a community built on empathy, authenticity, and real talk. I bring to the table not just expertise but also a deep understanding of the challenges we face in today's world.
Your voice is worth being heard.
