Thank you so much for having me, Chuck, this is great. I'm excited to be here.

Excellent. And we definitely want to hear about the lifestyle because as I shared with you before we turn the mic on, you're definitely living the dream. And and so I think very, very inspirational as well. So I think a great place to start Jackie is you know, tell everyone your so I did the introduction light, you go ahead and tell your story. You know who you are and what you do. And we'll take it from there.

Excellent. So I am I come from 30 years or the restaurant background. And I did the whole go to college, get a degree started teaching for one year and was like not for me, God bless the teachers, I give you so much credit if you're listening. But I realized that that I needed something different and something. There's something else in the teaching in the mentoring coaching world and I didn't know then but the restaurant has kind of swooped me into it. And in that business, you work hard, you work a lot. You have no time freedom, no, no money, freedom, you're kind of, but none of that mattered because I love the piece of mentoring and coaching and helping people like have that gift of belief that they didn't have and getting them to that next level. I promoted 300 people and companies like Starbucks and TGI Fridays and different larger corporations and have so much fun. My dad always questioned me like why are you working so hard? And I started laughing because he was home construction company from Canada home construction company. And he worked his butt off for years and I'm like I got it from you dad, his work ethic review. But the last two years of that career something I took a challenge and I went into a corporate office position which is like a rat as an animal in a cage like putting me into a corporate office situation. But I learned a lot and it was challenging and I pushed me and it like it was resistant, but it pushed me. And so, about two months before I ended my 30 year career, I started in this coaching world, I saw something like my friend was doing. And I was like, What is this crazy thing called coaching? I only knew coaching as a football coach, soccer coach, those kind of coaches. But then when he explained it, he was like, you know, what do you love about what we do? Because he was in the business, too. And I went through all that stuff. He's like, What if you could do that and none of the other stuff. And I was like, Well, that sounds too magical. Like I could actually do what I love and not have to like work a million hours and yada yadi So long story short, I started training for the coaching for life certificate and health certificate and all that other stuff. And two months later, my job fired me. And they fired me in a way that was really like, it was, it was it was just nothing I expected. And I was escorted out of all my stuff was taken escorted out and I wasn't a troubled employee. But this is just their process. And I was like, what does happen? But I gotta tell you the duality of I felt this relief off my shoulders, because of how much how challenging the last two years were for me and how I was not aligned. But I didn't know what alignment at that time. And how much I was also scared, you know, I just lost my six figure income, what am I going to do when I got home and I, because I have these two months of what's possible. And that's so important to know what's possible in this world that I didn't really see beyond what I knew of my restaurant career and 30 years of that, that was what I was comfortable with. But I had seen two months of these other people doing these things like call coaching businesses and stuff and in going. So to make a long story short, I had to come to this crossroads, I was like, do I go back and get a job in this industry that I know. So well, I can get one like that. And I got three offers. So I did try. And another of doing my own business and betting on me. And there was one individual came into my life. And he interviewed me he got on an interview and you're someone I used to work with at a previous company, and gosh, how the universe God falls into right when you need them, right? And he comes into this interview. And he's like, I know you I don't need to interview you. I didn't realize it was you. He's like, I'd hire you right now. But he asked me one question was what are you gonna do with your life instead? And I was like, why are you asking me this? That's like, not a normal interview question. And I told him the coaching thing, I told him how excited I was, but I'm only two months in and I'm not ready to start a business and this and that. He's like, Great, how much money do you have? I was like, why are you asking me this? So he asked me, Do you walk me through? He's like, I was like, Well, you know what, I realized I had a year of money to try this thing out and see if it works. And he's like, great, if it doesn't work, come back to me and give me a job guaranteed no matter where I'm at. So he gave me permission. And so the permission to bet on myself at just was such a relief. And it was scary. But I did it. And I dove into six months. And this is funny, because when you work for 30 years, we only get one week off at a time. And you can never take more than seven days without having to ask for permission. I took six months off and I vacation to seven different places. And I like it had the taste of freedom. And I was like, Oh, I can never go back to a job now because I know what it's like to be able to control my time and do my own thing and not have to ask for permission. And then I decided I was like well I'm going all in I'm betting on me and I hired a coach and then I built my business and the rest is history where I am today. And now I call myself a freedom coach because I'm able to now experience and freedom freedom there's so many things it's time freedom, money, freedom, location, freedom, body freedom, food, freedom, choice, freedom, mental freedom, you name it, but what is it that we want more of? And I discovered when I started to taste all of these that I want everyone to taste this? I want everyone to experience this like what do you want more? What is it that you're missing in your life and so now I really help highly hyper driven successful women take that success in that wealth and fit it into the life they desire. We were taught the opposite. We were taught like go make your money be successful, do all the things but then we look up and we're like we don't have the relationships we don't have the with ourselves with others we don't have the travel the adventure and so now I want to help everybody create that and fit all the goodies inside and enjoy it. I call right now as you as you said I live in an RV that's my adventure life. So I say I want you to have more freedom and adventure. You don't have to jump into an RV to have adventure. But as my version of freedom and adventure right now and I never thought this was what was going to happen so be open to what's coming what's possible dream and then you know take that don't just live for the money live a retirement life now and make money doing it. That's my philosophy.

Well I love your philosophy and like I said definitely living the dream if I could leave this house right now and go full time RV I would I just don't have all my other family members quite sold on that concept yet so we keep going on the trips and stuff but but you know, I think the concept of oh my god, this is what Are we going to live forever? And so we're working on it, but totally get the freedom thing. And, you know, part of my story is that, you know, I was working in a corporate job as well, I found myself suddenly working from home. And when you get that freedom, when you get that taste of, I don't have to just work Monday through Friday, nine to five, or whatever I can, I can set my schedule. If I want to take a Wednesday off, I will write whatever that is. And at first, it feels like, oh, wait, this is wrong. It's Wednesday, I'm supposed to be working, right?

Oh, my gosh, I know exactly what you're saying.

Yeah, and that deprogramming that happens. But so it's so amazing to get that taste of freedom, and then to take that to the other level, and then decide that, hey, you know what, I'm really inspired by this, I want to help others with this as well. So I think that's really, really cool about your story. What I'd love to hear just a little bit more about is, so the the types of clients that you work with, when you talk to them at the beginning of this journey, when they start working with you, what are you hearing in terms of the struggle? Or the okay, you know, my life is like this, I'm moving away from this, I want my life to be like this, like what, you know, what is that point a look like? And what is the struggle the thing they're trying to move away from?

That's a great question. And I'll do this through examples. Because it's always easier to kind of set it in examples, you know, I've got a government employee, they're five years away from retirement now for because we've been together a year, four years away from retirement, and also owns a business very successful over a million dollar side business, and was working at four because part of its in the UK, part of it's in California is working like four in the morning, getting up and running, running the business and running her job and this and that, but sticking out those five years, because you get the package, you get everything you get the golden handcuffs, as I call it, right? And, and so I get it, and I'm not here to tell you to walk away from your job. A year later, she's like, I don't know if I can make it Jackie. She's tasting way more of the freedom of what she can do if she walked like how much more could she produce in her career and have more of a life in her businesses, because she's now developed two other businesses while in this process. But she's been able to do it in a capacity that gives her life and she's not working harder to create more revenue, streams of income. She's learning how to do it where like now those businesses run themselves because we built teams for them. And we've, we've we've set up people to do the work. So she's on the business versus in the business. And that's what I did for 30 years. With the restaurant business, I did all that structuring stuff. But until someone else we I like to say that we're in a jar, and you sometimes you need someone else to read the label on the outside of the jar, you know, we can't see everything that we want to see on our label. So I was able to see from the outside and take like the the person on the outside and see what else she needed to have done. So she could have, she wanted love, she had no relationship situation going on. But she had no time for it just don't have time for this. We created time for it. Because then we were freed up, we freed up the aspect of running the businesses. And every time we freed up one thing, she filled it with another. That's that mindset that you talked about earlier. With the the we've got to work harder. And that's shifted now. So now she's experiencing time freedom, she's exploring way more money freedom than she had. And she's experienced in this taste of like wanting that like that freedom to do what she wants when she wants whenever she wants without having permission from a boss. And she's four years away. So I'm not convincing her to quit, because there's a whole bunch of stuff there. But she's like, Oh, biting at the bit. Because Because she sees the possibility now of what she could do that could replace everything that she would get with that. That makes sense. So that's one example. And I also have other, I come from Virginia area before we went full time. And I have a lot of government and military that I work with.

Well, especially around that region, right? There's a tremendous amount of government and military in there. So not not terribly surprising. Well, I love the story that you shared because I think it made me think of so many entrepreneurs, you know, women and men that I know that you know, that's their journey, right? It's like, okay, I have this thing, but it's owning my life. It's owning my life, either. I want to let go of the job and go do this full time or I created this thing and it's owning me and I need the structure to be able to have that freedom but so in whatever scenario it's it's about having that freedom. How do we set things up in such a way where you can you can have the money, you can have the business, but you can all So have that time to play. And, and like you travel in an RV and live in a different city every night if you want to do.

Yes, and you know, I gotta tell you where it started, people think it has to take a lot of money to be able to do the dream or the life right. And something I did early on, I learned that like if you have to have the vision first and if you have the vision, then you can tap into the vision and pull it to the present and start to live in it now as if it's already happened. And one thing I would do is, I would take my computer and everything down to a lake because part of my vision is owning my own lakefront property with a Mountain View, where it's a large property and I can have, you're gonna laugh and RV park on one part, and dogs that I like board on another and take care of them and rescue you know, so we've got a boyfriend have a lot of little dreams we want to do with that property. But for me to feel like that's possible, I would take it and I'd go down to a lake. And I'd sit at a bit like a picnic table at the lake and pretend it was my lake. And so we get to, to put ourselves in that vibe in that energy that is already like it's already happened. And without that vision, and I gotta tell you, visioning is hard in the beginning, because we're in that in employee structured mindset that we have to get out of that and know that so much more as possible. But it just takes it takes some rewiring and rewriting and digging in to get there. But we tend to that we tend to want to live in that past all the past stuff that we can't change. So it's kind of a waste of time, right? We want to live in those future worries, we're like, what if it doesn't work? And what if this? And what if that? Well, that's that's the definition of insanity living in something that we can't control. So I like to help people live in that like, Oh, what do I want to do? What's fun? What's, what's my vision? What what what would be like, just playful and joyful and, and live there? Because that's way more fun. Way more fun.

Absolutely. I love that. And one of the questions I asked in my coaching is if you could wave a magic wand, and you could have anything, be anywhere, do anything, what would that be? And that goes really well with what you just said. And it's like, let's play let's dream. Let's allow yourself to go from this is what I think I'm capable of to let go. Right? Like what would be amazing. And some of the ideas that you hear is just so so cool when people allow themselves to play. So I love that how you're drawing that out. And just for our listeners, like if you've never experienced that, you should probably get on a call with Jackie and like actually experience that because it's so fun. It's so fun. And there's so much really cool energy that comes from that. So thank you so much for sharing about like what you do and stuff. Since the theme of the show is about collaborations and partnerships. I'd like to kind of turn the conversation a little bit to, you know, thinking about your business and how you've been able to grow and get your self established, and especially transitioning from that corporate world. And given such a great gift of like, okay, go take a year. And if it doesn't work out, come back. I was not given that gift. But that is so cool. So that gentle push, right? And so you go from okay, I was here doing this. Now I'm starting my business and I'm growing it. What are some of the collaborations or partnerships that you've had to bring into your business to kind of help yourself get established and get to that level that you're at right now?

That's That's an awesome question. It's things that like, I never thought like, we don't know, we don't know. And I didn't realize how crucial it was to get support from a coach. And I am. I was even though I had the money back up and I had this like accumulation. It was still scary with no income coming in and watching like savings go down and credit cards go up and just having faith and trusting and then having to put money down and investing into somebody that's going to you know you think's going to help you you're really not sure but you're trusting, right? There's a lot of trust in this process. But I definitely that coach was with me for over two years. And she, she supported me she she helped me see things differently. So and I like I'd say that I love holding that gift of belief like she believed in me. When I didn't, I would borrow her belief I would borrow her. So the collaboration with someone that you genuinely are aligned with and that's really important in the process. I suggest to people to like you know, interview people and really get to know different people before you make that choice when you make that choice. Energetically, I'm big energy girl. It's got to feel good. But on the other side of that I collaborated with a bunch a couple different coaches throughout the process. There is a time where and this might answer, you know, a different question. In a different time, but that I overcooked myself, and I got beyond the point of the support, it became too many voices in my head. And what I lost, there was my own my own intuition, my own voice. And so there's, there's this sneaky little thing over time that's like, you've got all this confidence, like, like, just go for it in the beginning like you were when you were a kid and you had no fear and you just dived into anything, right. And then you get kind of good, and you you're making money and you're doing your thing, and then another level hits, and you're like, I need more people, I need more stuff, I need more support. And then you start to doubt your ability to go to another level, because you think you've got to do so much more than you've already done, which is not true. Either, you got to work hard or doubly harder to make double the money. That's not true. But that's where I got caught up into and I got to this point, just in last November, is last November, where I was like, I'm done with all the coaching, a coach is gonna go rogue, I'm gonna go rogue with no coach, which is so unheard of in the coaching business, what you're gonna go without a mentor, I knew I'd have one eventually. But I just went like two months without one because I couldn't hear myself. And from that, a new membership, first new new one on one clients at the at the level of where I really desired to be like, who I wanted to serve. And all this thing came out of that because I finally got quiet and listened to myself, and got in touch with me, and trusted my intuition. Because in the end, a lot of strategy out there, you can collaborate with a lot of people, but in the end has to be your strategy. It has to be your thing. It has to be authentic to you. And that's what I really love helping people is really get back to who were you, you can learn? like nothing's new out there. We're all learning the same stuff and the different things, but how are we? How are you going to deliver that and your magic to help people. And so collaboration was really important for me, on the support side. And then when it got too much, they're all wonderful coaches, to wonderful jobs. But you have to also trust yourself to collaborate with yourself.

Yeah, there's, there's quite a few takeaways, I think, from everything that you said, one, one thing that I heard you say was having too many voices, right. And so I am a huge believer in just following one voice. Whether that is I think we always have to follow our own voice. I think as as the foundation there is that sometimes our voice does get lost in the other voices, but you know, with with a mentor or a coach or whatever to follow one, I do know people who go out there, and they, they, all these coaching offers sound so good, right, and you meet these coaches, and they're amazing, and they have amazing energy, and you just want to be with all of them. The trouble is, if you're with all of them, each one of them have their own way of working with you. And if you're trying to do all of that simultaneously, like that's going to be super overwhelming. So so in the beginning, it is helpful to have all of that support, probably only need one. But then I love what you just said, and this is I firmly believe a huge form of collaboration. And that is collaboration with self, right and getting true with your self and getting in alignment with who you are and what you want to do. Because sometimes the business will take us in this direction, all these wonderful opportunities come into our world, and we want to say yes to everything. And oh yeah, let's go do this thing. Let's go to that thing. And sometimes it takes us off track takes us away from our true mission, our vision, that thing that really inspired us to start in the first place. And so I love that when you take that time to just be with yourself, you get to an opportunity to get reconnected with what that is. And now you have the direction. Once you have that direction, then if you if you need to collaborate or partner with someone to bring in a missing piece of the puzzle, you'll know what to look for with intention. Right?

Yes. And that happened. That happened. I ended December, January. I just got you know, I just asked I was like okay, what's next? Like I kind of just let go and let go the wheel and trusted and then this coach that I am mentoring an online coach. And this is a mentor that makes gosh, I think like 24 million a year but you wouldn't know it when you're sitting in in a zoom with her. You know, it's like this was what I needed more of the energetics of moving forward in a place that was more and more me and more and more like getting deeper in touch with me and I know it's funny because three years ago, if you told me that I would do anything woowoo or energetic are this and that, like, I've been like what? Like I was in like a 30 year full like restaurant very, very masculine energy dominated industry. And now I'm like, this is this is the pieces that were missing that helped me give the belief of like, what I'm worthy of and stuff like that. But in the beginning, like the one thing I want to really just make sure I hit on is that we do need another, we do need that support specially in those first year, a couple of years. Because that person like you don't know what you don't know. And I just did a post on that on Facebook. I was like, I don't I didn't know that. That was possible. Like what I could do, I didn't know that I was thinking certain things until someone else heard it, and helped me through it. I mean, so. So that's really important for that one voice that you said is really important to have to support you on the journey because another thing I thought I could do was I thought I could do this alone. And you don't want to do this thing alone, ever. So Oh,

Yeah. And you know, I started off I was a chronic do it yourselfer. And so it was always and this is what I saw at a very young age, I grew up around farmers and what did they do, they woke up and before light, and after dark. And so and everything in between, there was work, work, work, work, work. And so guess what I did, when I started my business, I did the exact same thing, because that's what my programming was. And and of course, chronic, do it yourself. And my dad and my grandfather used to always say, if you want a job done, right, you need to do it yourself. complete BS, complete BS, love them both. But that is a belief that I do not need anymore, I get so much done more done by getting other people's information. Like if there's something I want to do I go and find someone else who's done it and say, Hey, can you teach me how to do this, because I want to do that, too. That's so much easier to do, right. And so

Let's say I had the same family lineage or something because like my dad was from Canada, farm boy, had that like, the struggles, went through the struggles, man, third grade education, pulled off the farm, and then came to this country and built his own business, and then had to raise six kids, my mom passed away when I was five, and I'm the baby of six. And he had to raise six kids and run a construction company. And, and so it was, like you said, he's always up at four or five o'clock in the morning, and then come home at eight, nine o'clock at night. And so, with that being said, I learned a lot how to do a lot of things on my own really quickly. Because that work ethic wasn't whole much to do to spend much time with me for me to ask questions. So I was like, alright, let's figure it out, figure it out, figure it out. So I became the ultimate I got it girl, like, to the point of like, No, I can carry me on luggage, you know, I can open my own door, like, I can do this. And I can do that. And I can buy the house myself, and I can do all this stuff myself. And I did. And now I'm like, Oh, it's so nice to have other people in your world and let other people in your world, you know. And I mean, don't get me wrong, I had friends and I had like, you know, circles and stuff like that. But I still was the I got it like no funny story when I was doing trying to get clients like when I was still in that employee mentality, rapid fill my whole schedule, and fill everything up. And I was busy, but I wasn't making any money. Nobody was enrolling with me. And then And finally, my, my client and I were assessing my calls and my, my the one on one calls with them. And she's like, are you making an offer? And I'm like, I guess not. And so I guess if you don't make an offer, they're not going to be able to enroll with you, right? But what we figured out was that the story I was telling myself as they gave me money, they were helping me. And if no one I don't need any help, because I'm gonna gotta curl. Don't make me to help me Don't help me become successful. I can do this on my own. Well, how silly is that if I can't take money for business, and I gotta go back to a job. So it was such a funny, sneaky little story that I was telling myself. And as soon as I found that out, and she was able to help me discover that, like, I started getting clients, and I started building my business. And then she also challenged me you'll laugh at this one from someone who comes from that go go go doo doo doo. She September. I remember clearly tember 2019 She said, October you're going to do nothing more than what's on your schedule. Like what? She's like, you're going to add nothing else. And I was like, What are you talking about? So I did, and my schedule got less and like what do I do with all this time and she's like, go for a walk with your dogs. Listen to music, do whatever you want. I was like, that's crazy. But I made more money than I ever made. And she's like, let's do it again. So October she said November you're gonna do nothing. I'm like do nothing. That's weird. So everybody that want to do something I have to book them out like three months from now and two months from now and like my lesson my scheduled lesson I scheduled I made more money. I kept doubling my income. So that's October, November, December. I ended up tripling my income by December and it was because I was be I was I got out of doing and having all the time and I started to learn how to be. That was one of my biggest aha that I can tell any entrepreneur learn how to be. Don't just do and have and do and have and do and have, because that's what we're taught in society, we go work to make money, we work to make money, but if you be, it gets easier.

Yeah, I love that and great transition into this next piece that we want to do in this show, before we bring this episode to a close, and that is that personal development piece. And, you know, like, like you said, it's not about doing it's about being. And for me, I always look for teachers, I always look for resources that can help me be more that can be or whatever it is that I want to be, and at whatever level I want to be at. And so I always look for that inspiration, as I've had so many great teachers. In my, in my journey, I'd love to hear from you, who has been the most inspirational or impactful teacher or guru or expert or whatever, that has really helped you in your journey.

Um, I would say the biggest I mean, I've I've dabbled in a lot of the ED my lats and like, you know, those, I have one YouTube guy for the World Within, and it's just so inspirational, it gives me that like energy when I'm like, you know, and I need a little. But honestly, that coach Kenny, Michelle, Kenny, Michelle was the one who that was my coach for the first two years, she inspired me so much during those years to help me get to where I am now. And now that I'm at a new level, where like, oh, there was a new level new devil. But there was a different level of mentorship or different direction that I needed to go in. And I just trusted it. And now I'm working with a woman named Melanie, Melanie and Leia. And it's just a completely different energy and vibe. And so these are two people that I still very connected to Kenny, and they're not these world famous people that think they're experts, and yet changed my life, and helped mentor me, and helped me see what that what was possible, and has helped me get to where I am today. And so sometimes it's not the expert, it's the people along the journey that inspire me more.

Well, you know, they say that when your intention is clear, the you know, the teacher will appear. And so maybe it's somebody famous, but maybe it's not, those people came into your life in in the right way and at the right time, and helps you with the right phase with where you're at. I think that's amazing. I think that's amazing, as I've learned from so many non famous people that you would never heard of, and so, so I love that. I mean, there's always the big names, right, but I love that that you know, the right, the right coach, the right support for you at the right time, I think is such a great takeaway for anyone listening to this, you know, be open, be open to that, like, what is it that you need, and who is the best person to help you with that. And so I love that recommendation. And the other thing I like to do is I like to recommend books, I don't read really well. But I do audible I have probably learned more in the last five years since I got onto audible, I've consumed all sorts of content. For some reason, when I read a physical book, I can't focus really well, but so much learning in a small amount of time. But, but I have a huge like closet full of books, I always buy the books, but I because I was want what's in them. But you know, it wasn't until audible that I was able to really consume that was in them. But some people are readers. And so there's lots of different ways you can consume great content nowadays. If there was one book that you recommend that our entrepreneurial audience reads or listens to or consumes in whatever format it's in, what's that go to book that number one recommendation that you would recommend everyone reads?

Well, first of all, I want to say I'm the same exact way reading one page in 10 pages, I'm asleep, so I can't do the books, I will stay awake. So Audible has really helped me engage in a lot more. And one of the ones I would say instead of the biggest impact and it's actually one that I've I've done group courses and put my people through is illusion of money by Kyle Cece. And it's you think it's about money and other money book, but it's not it was a little tricky for me when I heard I was like this isn't about money and Kyle sees is an old comedian. So it's actually funny to listen to. He does his own audible books. So it's a great one to listen to. But the biggest takeaway from that book is that it's not it's we always have this external thing that we're trying to make us internally happy. So whether it's the 10,000 a month, whether it's the weight goal, whatever it is, we have this external goal that we go for and then we get there and we're like, that didn't work. Why am I not happy? Why am I not satisfied? Why am I not you know, joyful about this? like you get that minute of like, yeah, hit it. And I'm still not happy, right? And his point of the whole book is he really walks you through how to go feel internally, because everything like we know, but everything comes back to love, safety, belonging, and all of the way we think and the way you feel. So we can get ourselves to this point of feeling him one of his questions. And one of the chapters is like, if you're How do you feel safe? Being on a park bench in New York, and you have nothing? Well, can you? Can you feel safe in that moment? Can you feel like secure in yourself with like, nothing? And like, it just makes you think like, Huh? And everybody goes, well, of course, because then I can go recreate it, I can do this, I can do that. And like, Well, exactly, like you have all those like abilities and resources. But can you feel internally safe, totally loved, and know that you belong, with no external source, giving you trying to fill the hole that's missing? Can you fill your own holes of love, safety, belonging, and he does exercises at the end. So if you do audible, you kind of have to stop and then like, do the writing and stuff like that. And some people get the book that a lot of my clients got the book after we did the audio together. So

Awesome. I think that's a fantastic recommendation, I have actually never heard of that book. And so I'm gonna definitely check it out.

So so that's fantastic, Jackie, if you're going to leave our audience with just one final piece of advice, final piece of wisdom, what would you say?

Hmm? Well, I there's so many, right, like, how do you pick them, but one I would say is see the feet, feel the fear and do it anyway, you're gonna feel fear and anything you do, you're gonna feel discomfort. But in reality, there's discomfort staying where you're at, and not going for what you want. And there's discomfort and going for who you want. So choose your discomfort. And I will always choose the discomfort of moving forward. But there's discomfort on both sides. So you get to choose and go forward. She does that when it's way more fun.

That does sound like more fun. And it definitely is anytime I've done that, Jackie, thank you so much. And to our listeners, thank you for tuning in.
