Hi there! I am Jennifer Tardy, a Healthy Relationship Activist! Simply stated, I’m always sponsoring, speaking, or facilitating programs that support and encourage healthier relationships in our communities. It’s my passion! Although today I’m happily engaged, things weren’t always this way in my life. I discovered this passion several years ago after I was knocked down by a relationship with my then love and best friend of almost a decade. Three weeks after moving to a new state, giving up my lucrative job to start a new one, and giving up my place to move in with him, he confessed to me that he no longer wanted to be with me and was in love with another woman. Even though I was devastated, it was at this time—my lowest point—that I was able to discover who I was in the midst of all I had gone through. I was able to see that at the center of all of my relationships—standing there was ME. This was such an empowering moment that I immediately began researching relationships, conducting surveys and ultimately writing about them—and my life evolved from there. Now, let's talk about who I am today! Ready?
I am a RELATIONSHIP ADJUSTMENT COACH. Did you know that maintaining healthy relationships is as simple as adjusting your very own perspective? As a matter of fact, one of my favorite quotes is by Dr. Wayne Dyer, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.” It’s a passion and gift that I have for being able to assist others in finding positive solutions to their most challenging relationship woes. My specialty differs from many other coaches because my focus expands beyond romantic relationships. I also facilitate the guidance of my clients into healthier relationships with family members, friends, co-workers, business partners, and even strangers, (can you believe it?). Many relationships we thought could never be mended—really can! Our initial meetings will start with helping you to create a healthier relationship within –and all other relationships soon follow in our meetings. Aren’t you ready to live a more harmonious lifestyle? I know that I’m ready to assist you.
I am also a Contributing Writer. My ability for success in coaching others has led to many opportunities, in writing and speaking about relationships. I’m a contributing writer for CharlotteStyle Magazine for their Love & Relationships column. I also write for Examiner.com as a Dating Rules Examiner for Charlotte, NC and Ezine as an Expert Author, with many other relationship articles, such as How I Contributed to my Own Singleness: 24 Confessions of an EX-Single Female, having been spotlighted on nationally syndicated radio programs. I am also an Author to and owner of TardySmith Publishing, LLC. “Naturally discovering who you are—one book at a time.” That is our motto and our books are published by this!

I am a former native of Virginia where I graduated from Gretna High School. I then went on to receive both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. Although there are many facets to my Healthy Relationship Activist movement, there are none more important than my relationship with family, circle of friends and clients. I currently live in Charlotte, NC with my fiancé, Isaac, and two bull mastiffs, Bishop and Bella.
