About Gail Kauranen Jones

WORTHINESS EXPERT FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONWe are all born worthy — and it’s time to help the next generation know that as early as possible (instead of years later working so hard to prove it versus starting out claiming it). Worthiness is an inside job.As a nationally recognized worthiness expert, author of three books, and intuitive coach, I’ve spent more than 25 years guiding people to claim their value and live from their greatness, not their wounds. My work blends applied neuroscience, energy psychology, and intuitive coaching with my gift as a wordsmith — creating customized mantras that spark immediate “aha” moments and lasting transformation.I’m the author of \"Born Worthy: Real Stories to Help Raise a Generation Who Knows Their Value\"(launched October 2025), a groundbreaking book for teens, young adults, parents, educators, mentors and leaders.Through real stories based on my interviews with teens and young adults, neuroscience insights, and empowering exercises and daily practices, Born Worthy shows how today’s youth can rise beyond the trauma and drama of the mental health crisis to reclaim their dreams, purpose, and self-worth.For more than 40 years, I’ve written and coached with one mission: to help people recognize their inherent worth and create lives of meaning, joy, and resilience. Now, I’m extending that mission nationally to the next generation — inspiring hope, healing, and a new culture of self-value. Core areas of expertise:• Worthiness coaching for teens, young adults, parents, educators & leaders• Applied neuroscience & energy psychology tools for transformation• High self-esteem coaching certification (parents, educators, kids)• Keynote speaking, workshops, and media appearances• Author, award-winning writer on mental health, and movement leader If you’re a parent, educator, or leader of an organization seeking to empower the next generation, or a media outlet looking for a fresh voice on youth mental health and worthiness, I’d love to connect.
