Imagine grabbing a bacon cheeseburger at a fast-casual restaurant - not just settling for a cup of water.

Imagine a relaxing weekend away with a glass of red wine and a fairy romance novel—and not being anxious about your next meal.

Imagine meeting your colleagues at a random restaurant you've never been to before - and eating a delicious pasta carbonara.

And imagine being part of the group for once - instead of always feeling left out.

It's all possible when you trust yourself and harness the power of community.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably dealing with the same issues my clients faced post-diagnosis.

👉 You stress out trying to plan everything eating outside your house (Spontaneity? Don't know her.)

👉 Your heart races when it's time to talk to a restaurant server (Wait, they can't guarantee it's safe? Did I say enough? Am I annoying?)

👉 You find yourself getting so emotional with food (Crying in the bakery aisle of the supermarket while staring at the cupcakes, or getting mad at your husband bringing home dumplings from the Chinese restaurant!)

And the cherry on top of this gluten-filled cupcake you can't have is...

👉You're the only one doing this.

Your partner, family, and friends might be supportive of your new gluten-free diet.

But they don't really get what it's like eating this way.

That's because celiac disease is like being a star basketball player who's always on the bench, and never in the game.

You're at work -

You overhear a colleague who bought lunch for everybody. You get so excited about the possibility of free food, and think, "Maybe it's something I can have!"

....Until you get to the break room.

Sitting on the table are 3 boxes of pepperoni pizza. 

Disappointed, your heart sinks as you take out the sad kale salad you brought from home. 

Someone offers you a slice, and you say "No thanks", stabbing greens with your fork, feeling defeated.

You're out shopping...

You stop at Target to get a new moisturizer. Heading to checkout, you spot a group of teenage girls with Starbucks cups and pastries.

Then you remember those blueberry muffins you used to get that were your absolute favorite.

You'd grab one with your coffee every week before work on Fridays. And it took only seconds to order.

Suddenly, knowing you can't eat those muffins anymore, and how awkward you feel now just ordering a freaking coffee..

You feel jealous of these girls.

So you pay for your moisturizer and leave Target as quickly as you can, silently wishing you never stopped in the first place.

You're at home...

And your partner decided to get a Quizno's sub for dinner.

As they open the crinkly paper on the kitchen counter, you see an enormous sandwich on thick, toasted, gluten-filled bread...

You become irrationally angry.

You yell, "How could you?!"  as your partner tries to reason with you that it's "Just a sandwich".

But it's not just a sandwich.

And you feel like this diet will never get easier.

Sound familiar?

If you can relate, you should know:

Your feelings are 100% valid. 

In fact, studies that show being socially excluded increases anger, anxiety, depression, jealousy, and sadness.

Always being on the bench instead of playing in the game...

Always having to watch everyone else do things so easily that are 10x more complicated for you...

It adds up.

Because being left out around food doesn't happen to you once in a while.

These situations are happening to you every single day.

Celiac disease isn't just avoiding wheat, barley, & rye (and oats, if you skip those too.)

It's a complete overhaul of how you interact in day to day life.

So if you're not doing something to balance that daily exclusion you encounter...

Then holding up the line to get a gluten-free bun, asking for no croutons on your salad, or even telling your uncle you can't have his "gluten-free" chocolate chip cookies..

All of these moments will only get harder.

You'll become more & more anxious that eating gluten-free is a bother to those around you.

Your anxiety will increase, and you'll find yourself saying "sorry" all the time.

Going out to eat anywhere will feel impossible, so you'll stay home.

You'll avoid birthday parties, family dinners, weekend trips - anything where food is involved, because it just feels too hard.

And you'll sink deeper into feeling sad & alone.

But you don't have to live this way.

Because here's the thing:

We get it. We do.

We know why the pizza in the breakroom hurts and why your salad feels so boring.

We get the jealousy of the Starbucks girls casually eating their blueberry muffins and buying coffee without having to ask a bunch of questions.

And we certainly have been angry with our partners for bringing home gluteny foods that we can't have (and asking them "Can I just smell it? Ha!")

Because we have celiac disease too.

And we understand you on a level your partner, friends, and family never will.

So if you're tired of celiac feeling so challenging -

But you want to get back out there in the world without this constant anxiety eating around other people...

To do things like...

Enjoy a bachelorette weekend...

Attend a spontaneous dinner party at a brand-new restaurant...

Go to a birthday party with ease..

Order food without freaking out..

Date someone new & feel good about it..

And even get back to pre-celiac levels of happiness & health..

Navigating your gluten-free life alone is keeping you stuck.

You're missing out on making delicious gluten-free MEMORIES.

You're shrinking into the shadows instead of taking up space with PRIDE.

But it's time to break free.

Introducing...

A community empowering celiacs like you to use your voice & have more freedom in your gluten-free life.

CCC is the #1 place where you'll finally feel normal & like yourself once again.

It's like the exhale of relief you feel walking into a 100% gluten-free bakery knowing you can eat ANYTHING on the menu!

That's what it feels like to be a member of this group.

But instead of feeling that way only once in a while...

You can feel that way anytime, anywhere - 24/7.

Having that space to connect will make all those tough social situations with gluten ten times easier.

It's how you'll go from shutting down in a restaurant when your order isn't going as planned..

To ask the damn questions & have a safe meal!

It's how you'll go from apologizing profusely for taking a few extra seconds to get something made gluten-free ...

To stand tall & proud in that moment knowing you're worthy of taking up space like everyone else!

And it's how when you overhear someone else has a dietary restriction...

You won't be afraid to say something because you know that their needs, just like yours, are important.

CCC members are eating confidently & enjoying their gluten-free lives!

Whether it's traveling, spending time with friends, or having dinner with family - these women are making it HAPPEN.

And you can do this too.

It's all possible when you have a space to come back to, time and time again - where you are accepted with celiac disease just as you are.

Then, going out in the gluten-filled world becomes easier, and speaking up for yourself becomes routine.

And each time you do...

You're spreading awareness for the entire celiac & food allergy community & making our world a safer.

CCC is the only online space that actually gives you the tools you need to advocate comfortably with celiac disease.

These include:

-Mindset Mondays: Reframing uncomfortable social situations into supportive lessons to build resilience & self-trust

-Pre-Written Scripts: Practical, easy-to-memorize phrases to keep yourself safe & protect your energy

-Video Trainings: Step-by-step tutorials for how to order food in a restaurant, take a vacation, or attend an event on a gluten-free diet

Hey there, I'm Jen!

I'm a celiac coach, blogger & educator who has helped hundreds of celiacs speak up for themselves.

I spent over a decade suffering from anxiety & illness - all because my doctor told me "Just go gluten-free" back in 2009. 

I had no clue back then how celiac would affect me not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

But as soon as I stopped worrying about what other people thought of my diet & found other celiac friends I could relate to...

I was able to heal my body, travel the world, and feel good in my own skin again. And I'm here to help you do that too.

As a member of CCC, you'll see a huge boost to your self-esteem...

But you'll also see a positive change in YOU.

Sharing your political opinions without fear of backlash from family.

Asking for help with household chores from your partner without worrying about bothering them.

Taking time for yourself to binge Bridgerton's new season and rest if you get sick - without the guilt.

Tapping into your intuition, giving yourself grace through tough moments, and living more boldly - WITH celiac disease.

Trusting yourself with celiac disease happens in three simple steps:

Step 1: You connect. You join our Zoom calls, share your gluten-free food finds, cheer each other on, and meet other celiacs both online and in person, so you don't feel so alone.

Step 2: You practice. You utilize the scripts, trainings, and mindset lessons inside CCC to work on using your voice, one food situation at a time, so asking questions doesn't feel scary.

Step 3: You advocate. You feel empowered by speaking up for yourself. And knowing others are doing it too, you keep doing it. As you keep advocating, it gets easier and becomes routine.

And then one safe meal out becomes two - then three, or four!

You finally take that bucket list trip to Belize with your best friend. (Yes, CCC members have actually done this - safely with celiac!)

You attend your cousin's wedding having plenty to eat and check "Yes" to your friend's baby shower invite!

Your social life comes back because you have a way to balance the harder gluten-filled moments with more moments of gluten-free FUN.

How much is my membership?

Membership is $65/month and you can cancel at any time if the group is no longer serving you! 

I already follow influencers in the celiac/gluten-free world on social media. How is this any different?

Following an influencer or someone you like on social media is great! But as much as it might feel like you "know" them...you don't. It's a one-sided relationship!

This is an actual place to make REAL friendships with celiac disease that will go beyond our group chat & Zoom calls. 

Members of CCC have gotten together outside of this group all around the country, including Boston & Connecticut, Chicago, Denver, & more!
