Hi, I’m Yanilsa Pijuan, but you can call me Yani.

I help ambitious women create balanced, aligned lives and businesses that reflect their true purpose—without burnout.

My journey has been anything but linear, but that’s exactly what makes me uniquely qualified to guide you. From my early years in retail to becoming a makeup artist and licensed esthetician, to earning my degree in nutrition and wellness, and balancing life as a mom of three and an army wife, I’ve experienced the challenges of juggling multiple roles. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that success isn’t about doing more; it’s about aligning your energy with your goals and creating systems that work for you.

My Journey: From Army Wife to Wellness Advocate

Before marriage, I spent my teenage years in retail, learning the value of hard work and building connections. At 18, I married my husband and became an army wife. During deployments and relocations, I discovered my passion for beauty and wellness, becoming a certified makeup artist and licensed esthetician. This journey allowed me to help others feel confident while navigating the complexities of military life.

By 22, I was a mother to my first son, followed by my daughter two years later. Balancing motherhood with a growing career in beauty, I learned how to navigate the challenges of being a mom while staying committed to my professional goals.

When my husband left the military, I decided to pursue a degree in nutrition and wellness while raising my three children. Juggling school, family, and personal growth was tough but transformative. This experience deepened my understanding of how wellness, mindset, and success are interconnected.

From Soap Business to Coaching

Little before completing my degree, I started a small soap business, combining my passion for self-care, wellness, and entrepreneurship. Running my business while raising my family gave me firsthand experience in balancing professional and personal life, all while helping others prioritize their well-being.

From Loss to Purpose

Perhaps the most transformative role in my life has been serving as a guide for my little brother during his battle with cancer. I became his advocate, supporting him with nutrition, wellness, and emotional guidance as he prepared for death. His strength and the journey we shared gave me a profound understanding of life’s preciousness.

One of the last things he said to me was:
“You are meant for this.”

Those words have stayed with me, fueling my purpose in life and guiding everything I do. They’ve become the core of my coaching approach—helping others align their lives with their natural energy and purpose. What once came naturally, from love and intuition, now serves as the foundation of my mission.

My Commitment to You

I created The Poised Boss because I understand the struggle of balancing multiple roles—especially as a woman. I’ve been there, and my journey has taught me that true success isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning your work with who you truly are. I want to help you create a life and business that reflects your unique gifts, without burnout.
