Jordan Garcia’s story is one of reinvention, resilience, and hard-won purpose. After a 20-year corporate career that included leadership and strategy roles at Target, Google, and Charles Schwab, Jordan reached a personal crossroads. Following a painful divorce and his transition as a trans man, he began rethinking not only his own life, but the ways modern families break down under the weight of conflict, silence, resentment, and unspoken expectations.
That turning point led him to found Side-by-Side Wellness Coaching, where he helps parents and couples navigate relationship conflict, divorce prevention, co-parenting, and major life transitions with more clarity and emotional honesty. Jordan blends corporate-level strategy with lived experience, helping clients slow down reactive patterns, understand what is really happening beneath the arguments, and make healthier decisions for themselves and their children.
As a divorced dad, successful co-parent, and trans man, Jordan brings a deeply personal perspective to conversations about masculinity, vulnerability, emotional labor, communication, and family legacy. His work is rooted in the belief that life’s most painful chapters can become a catalyst for growth—and that when adults do the work to become more honest, grounded, and emotionally aware, their children inherit something better.
