I'm Jen Hughes, founder of The Hughes Method and your behind-the-scenes operations partner.
I help women's health and wellness coaches reclaim up to 10 hours a week by stabilizing their backend operations and installing simple systems that actually work.
You stay in your sweet spot, coaching and serving your clients. I’ll handle the rest.
In 2018, I began working in the backend of online businesses run by passionate, impact-driven women. From the outside, these founders looked placid and put together, with impressive client rosters and growing teams.
But when I pulled back the curtain...
There was a season when I gave too much of myself to my work. It got to the point where I was even solving work problems in my sleep. My brain refused to shut off, and I'd wake up exhausted from working through problems that weren't even urgent.
I didn't realize it at the time, but I was completely burned out.
One day, I hit a wall and had to make a choice: keep pushing and risk losing myself and the people I love most, or step away and heal.
I chose myself and my family.
I walked away from the role, the paycheck, everything I thought defined me. I entered an intentional season of recovery where I simplified, streamlined, and found a balance I didn't know was possible before.
When I came out the other side, I saw my own story reflected in so many of the wellness founders I wanted to serve.
These were women teaching others how to take control of their health while quietly running on fumes themselves. Women who felt out of alignment and knew something had to change.
That's when it clicked: purpose without support leads straight to burnout.
Today, I partner with women's health and wellness coaches to stabilize their backend operations and install simple systems that actually work.
Systems designed for the humans who touch them: the founder who finally gets her time back, the team who can do their work feeling supported and clear, and the clients who receive a top-notch experience.
My clients tell me time and again that the streamlined operations I create translate to so much more than extra hours on their calendar or dollars in the bank.
They no longer fear that their business will come to a screeching halt the moment they step away.
1) I’m a Christ-loving wife + homeschool mama who has re-discovered a love for learning right alongside my kids.
2) I notice typos in almost every single book I read. I was blessed/cursed with an eye for ALL the details.
3) I'm mildly obsessed with personal growth assessments. My Kolbe-A score is 8-8-2-2, Myers-Briggs is ESTJ, DISC is high SC, and Enneagram is 1w2.
4) I’m still on the hunt for the perfect margarita…rocks, no salt. If you’ve found it, I will travel.
5) I live to cross items off of my to-do list. I’ve even been known to write items down I’ve already accomplished juuust for the satisfaction of crossing them off.
6) I believe life looks about 92% better after a good workout. My favorites are biking, hiking, and yoga.
