Micro Shifts, Manifestation, and Building a Business Without Quitting Cold Turkey with Lena Khais
On this episode Coach Jackie welcomes Lena Khais, an intentional manifestation coach with a background in industrial-organizational psychology and 25 years in corporate healthcare/insurance, who helps business owners break through revenue plateaus by combining energy work with business psychology and the art of receiving. Lena shares moving to the U.S. in 1994 at 17, her corporate hustle mindset, and an “I got it” turning point when her six-year-old told her at the airport, “I’m gonna miss you,” prompting gradual change. She outlines three key shifts: empower your team instead of doing it all, find your “who” when you don’t know “how,” and focus on what you want rather than what’s broken. She explains bridging thoughts over toxic positivity and describes starting her business through “playing pretend” on Fridays, which eventually led to job elimination with severance and a full transition. 00:00 Meet Lena the Modern Fairy 00:30 Business Plateaus and Money Flow 02:15 Prom Fight to America 05:00 What I Got It Girl Means 07:42 Lena’s Hustle and Wake Up Call 12:27 Micro Shifts to Big Change 13:57 Three Shifts to Let Go 18:12 Stop Feeding Problems 20:34 Stop Fixing Problems 21:11 Double Down on Wins 21:42 Awareness to Action 23:01 Move Toward Desire 24:50 Thoughts Create Reality 25:30 Rewire Your Brain 26:17 Bridging Thoughts 27:49 Micro Shifts to Start 30:12 Practice Before You Quit 34:00 From Side Hustle to Business 34:43 Light vs Heavy Energy 35:29 Stay Connected Online 37:11 Live by Design 38:55 Final Thanks and Share You can find Lena Khais at the following places: website: www.atlas-paradigm.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lenakhais For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

Trauma, Communication, and Masculine/Feminine Energy Dynamics with Andre Paradis
On this episode Coach Jackie welcomes Andre Paradis as her first male guest, a Los Angeles–based relationship coach, NLP practitioner, and communication educator. Andre explains that healthy relationships require releasing childhood trauma and understanding how men and women process, speak, and listen differently, since miscommunication can escalate hurt and distance. Jackie shares her “I Got It Girl” story rooted in control, fear, and survival after her mother died when she was five, and how midlife helped her recognize the impact and learn to let go and receive support from her husband. Andre describes “coming online” around age five, how early meanings shape lifelong relationship patterns, and how he moved from a painful childhood to feeling alive through dance, eventually working with major artists. He outlines how unresolved safety wounds can push women into masculine survival energy, affecting attraction and intimacy, and offers resources through Project Equinox, including a workbook and a call to identify and release core imprints, encouraging listeners to think for themselves about love, marriage, and family. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:02 Andre’s Coaching Mission 01:23 Why Couples Miscommunicate 03:44 The I Got It Girl Story 04:58 Childhood Programming at Five 07:25 Midlife Wake Up Moment 09:45 Andre’s Origin Wound 11:23 Dance Saved My Life 14:49 From Dancer to Destiny 18:08 Gifts From Adversity 20:52 Masculine Feminine Dynamics 28:55 I Got It Girl Traits Today 29:58 Why You Attract Boys 31:20 Masculine Men Need Feminine 31:53 Radical Responsibility Shift 33:04 Letting Go Feels Unsafe 38:29 Keep Success Keep Softness 39:25 Recalibrating Feminine Energy 41:17 Proof And Invitation 41:42 Gifts And How To Reach 47:16 Action Takers Break The Loop 50:00 Final Nuggets Think Yourself 53:22 Wrap Up And Share For all things Andrea Paradis you can go here to his website: http://www.projectequinox.net For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

Lipstick and Life Lessons: Monica Walls' Journey to Empowerment
In this episode Coach Jackie interviews her friend and peer, Monica Walls the owner and creator of Keca’s Usna on letting go, receiving support and building her own lipstick brand. Monica, an HR executive turned entrepreneur, met Jackie through Polka Dot Powerhouse, to discuss the launching of Monica’s lipstick company Keca’s Usna (named from her teenage nickname and the Croatian word for “lip”) and the personal growth behind building it. They explore the “I Got It Girl” mindset—fierce independence rooted in control, fear, and survival—and how it can keep people at a distance, limit receiving help, and affect relationships, especially in male-dominated corporate environments. Monica shares how learning to ask for support, letting women in through community, and doing mindset/body-based work, helped her shift toward trust and surrender. She highlights three key practices: release control, stop carrying the past, and trust the process, and invites listeners to connect with her on social and discover her inclusive, timeless beauty brand. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:43 From HR to Lipstick Startup 01:52 Permission to Take the Leap 03:34 Making the Brand Personal 04:24 What Is the I Got It Girl 06:29 Monica on Independence and Control 08:47 Letting People In and Real Support 11:54 Women Supporting Women 12:38 Corporate Culture and Being the Only Woman 15:44 Learning to Trust Women Again 17:00 Polka Dot Powerhouse in Action 18:20 Seeing People Again 19:42 Strength Meets Softness 21:14 Learning To Receive 23:12 Help In A Hard Year 24:29 Enneagram And Energy Flow 25:16 Top Three Growth Shifts 29:03 Where To Find Monica 31:47 Ask For Help Takeaway 32:43 Final Thanks And Share You can follow and connect with Monica Walls at the following places: https://www.instagram.com/kecasusna/ https://www.facebook.com/kecasusna https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicawalls/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/keca-s-usna/ https://www.tiktok.com/@kecasusna https://kecasusna.com/ For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

Legacy and Learning: Building a Future Beyond Survival with Tanean Schaller
Coach Jackie welcomes entrepreneur and paralegal Tanean Schaller to discuss shifting from the “I got it” survival mindset into thriving through trust, surrender, and receiving support. Tanean shares launching Pink Seal Notary after realizing notaries can build independent businesses through loan signings, remote online notarizations, and field inspections, while maintaining her career and focusing on her legacy as a mom and “Gigi.” They talk about asking for help at home and in business, hiring support like website help and cleaners to reclaim time, and letting go of others’ opinions and permission-seeking. Tanean explains setting boundaries with family after resentment signaled misalignment, using therapy tools to say no and empower her daughter’s independence. Key takeaway: move unapologetically in silence and stop asking for permission, including from yourself. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:01 Meet Tanean Schaller 01:24 Notary Side Hustle 03:14 Family Legacy Why 05:15 Start Before Later 06:16 I Got It Girl 09:07 Letting Others Help 11:47 Outsourcing For Freedom 22:19 Stop Asking Permission 23:08 Handling Pushback 25:27 Thank You For Loving Me 26:18 Love From Afar Boundaries 27:11 Not Responsible For Others 28:40 PARRR and Radical Responsibility 31:49 Saying No To Family 32:46 Resentment As A Signal 36:29 Body Knows Alignment 41:08 Scary Versus Misaligned 42:18 Connect And Follow Tanean 43:16 Move In Silent Confidence 45:45 Final Thanks And Subscribe You can contact Tanean Schaller at the following places: Instagram: ts_pink seal notary Website: pinksealnotary.com Email: tanean@pinksealnotary.com For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

Stop Doing It Alone: Let Go, Ask for Help, and find Community with Divorce Coach Mardi Winder
Coach Jackie welcomes Mardi Winder to the I Got It Girl podcast to discuss moving from survival-driven independence to letting go of control, asking for help, and building supportive relationships. Mardi, a strategic divorce consultant and high-conflict divorce coach, shares key turning points where she learned to reach out—after losing her adoptive parents before age 20, during her divorce, and after caring for and later losing her second husband. They explore how women’s support networks, masterminds, and “take what you like and leave the rest” thinking create better solutions than going it alone, and how corporate scarcity and information-hoarding can limit growth. Mardi explains finding community in a rural Texas farm life through yoga, volunteering, classes, and trying new activities, and outlines her path from mediation and domestic violence work to divorce coaching. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 01:01 Mardi’s Farm Life 02:00 What Is an I Got It Girl 02:19 Jackie’s Survival Story 03:40 Learning to Let Go 04:07 Mardi’s Early Losses 05:38 Divorce Wall and Support 07:49 Masterminds and Real Advice 09:34 Take What You Like 12:13 Stop Hoarding Information 14:40 Corporate Scarcity Mindset 17:04 AI Won’t Replace Humans 17:34 Finding Friends After Loss 18:53 Yoga Grief Release 20:43 Try New Communities 22:21 Identity Beyond Work 24:47 Career Path to Divorce Coaching 27:31 Everything Connects Later 29:55 Mindset Lessons From Hard Years 32:05 Where to Find Mardi 33:04 Ask for Help Early 35:09 Closing Thanks and Subscribe You can find Mardi Winder at the following links: Website: https://www.divorcecoach4women.com/ Podcast: The D Shift: Redefining Divorce and Beyond LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mardiwinderadams/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divorcecoach4women/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Divorcecoach4women YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@divorcecoach4women For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

From “I Got It” to Calm: Wendy Taddeucci on Letting Go of Control, Connection, and the Calm Advantage
On this I Got It, Girl episode, Jackie interviews Wendy Taddeucci a Life Coach and Soul Protector for high-achieving women. Wendy shares how she helps overwhelmed women move from anxiety and burnout into ease, flow, and what she calls the “calm advantage,” where opportunities and money show up without pushing so hard. She opens up about growing up after her father died at six, learning to survive through control, self-sufficiency, and emotional shutdown, plus shame around finances and feeling different. A turning point came when she isolated herself before a conference talk and bombed on stage, prompting her to choose connection, community, journaling, and coaching. Wendy describes shifting from professional organizer to coach (fully in 2017) and emphasizes the key takeaway: “You get to” choose what you desire by slowing down, breathing, and allowing support. 00:00 Meet Wendy Taddeucci 01:30 Calm Advantage Coaching 02:35 Strawberry Shortcake AI 03:46 What Is I Got It Girl 05:02 Turning Point Conference Bomb 09:36 Isolation To Connection 12:16 Childhood Loss And Control 15:45 Learning To Feel Again 19:23 Binge Eating Wakeup 19:50 Journaling Breakthrough 22:11 Releasing Old Journals 24:17 Shame and Self Reliance 28:26 Hiring First Coach 30:38 From Organizing to Coaching 33:16 Entrepreneurship Growth Lessons 34:43 Divine Nudges and Surrender 38:58 Problem Solver Identity 39:42 Where to Find Wendy 40:50 You Get To Takeaway 42:28 Final Wrap and Subscribe You can find Wendy at the following links: https://coach-wendy.com/ https://www.facebook.com/WendyTaddeucci/ https://www.instagram.com/wendytaddeucci/ https://coach-wendy.com/subscribe-now For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

Dance With the Mess of Stress: Letting Go of Control, Healing, and Nervous System Regulation with Eileen McDonald
Coach Jackie welcomes guest Eileen McDonald, who helps women reconnect with their internal wisdom and “dance with the mess of the stress” so it doesn’t derail their health or performance. They discuss how “I got it” control patterns can develop, by sharing Jackie’s childhood experience of becoming fiercely independent, and Eileen’s story of pushing through motherhood and work until her body shut down, leading to an autoimmune disease and the difficult practice of asking for and receiving help. Eileen shares how her healing journey led her to explore how emotions affect physiology, stress and the nervous system, and tools like biofeedback to make the invisible visible. They offer practical micro-practices to release tension (shoulder rolls, progressive muscle squeeze-and-release, breathing, sighing, rubbing around the ears, humming) and emphasize pausing to create space between events and reactions, bringing more ease at home and in life. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:37 Eileen’s Mission With Stress 02:25 What Is the I Gotta Girl 03:58 Eileen’s Breaking Point 09:25 Learning to Receive Help 12:31 Control Perfection and Nursing 13:34 Emotions and Autoimmune Healing 17:43 Biofeedback and Body Awareness 19:12 Daily Stress Release Tools 19:56 Release Muscle Tension 21:15 Meditation Without Sitting 22:32 Quick Nervous System Tools 24:06 Learning To Slow Down 26:50 Self Care Sets The Tone 29:33 Ripple Effect Of Calm 31:22 Pause And Take Space 34:21 Transition Home Intentionally 36:24 Closing Reflections And Farewell You can find Eileen McDonald at the following places: www.eileenmcdonald.com Facebook: @Eileen Mullins McDonald LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eileenmcdonald Instagram: @eileenmullins.mcdonald For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!
