Building a Business With White Space and Trust with Cheri Andrews
Building a Business With White Space and Trust Coach Jackie welcomes small business attorney, author, speaker, and Wise Owl Academy founder Cheri Andrews, who shares her background as a wife of 41 years, mother of three, and grandmother of three. They discuss the “I got it girl” mindset—rooted in survival, control, and perfectionism—and how it can block love, trust, and receiving support. Cheri describes growing up as the oldest of seven in an abusive alcoholic home, then later carrying responsibility through motherhood and work. After losing her corporate job in late 2019, launching her law practice in March 2020, and facing ongoing financial pressure during COVID, she burned out, then intentionally redesigned her business to create white space, prioritize health and family, and let referrals and speaking drive clients. Key takeaway: taking care of yourself matters more than business or money.

From Burnout to Life Harmony with Dr. Heather Tucker
Coach Jackie welcomes Dr. Heather Tucker to the I Got It Girl podcast to discuss business and life harmony, shifting from survival and control into trust, love, and receiving and living the Aloha life. Heather shares her path from earning a PhD in human-computer interaction and working at the Army Research Laboratory—successful outwardly but depressed inside—to leaving government work, discovering coaching, and helping entrepreneurs create peace, energy, and momentum. She explains her sailboat vs. speedboat vs. raft analogy for navigating life and highlights major relationship shifts rooted in childhood trauma, including molestation, her grandfather’s murder, and later her husband’s heart attack, which intensified anxiety and fear. Both discuss how suppressed emotions drive control, the value of feeling and healing, co-creating with God, and embracing one’s uniqueness: “You’re so much more than who you think you are.” 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:04 Heather’s Harmony Mission 01:49 From PhD to Purpose 03:58 Discovering Coaching Path 05:20 Raft Speedboat Sailboat 07:06 What Is the I Got It Girl 10:08 Relationship Shift and Fear 12:28 Childhood Trauma Revealed 15:37 Choosing Trust After Crisis 17:51 Healing Awareness and Integration 20:11 Self Development Shift 21:27 Healing Through Marriage 22:31 Control Versus Trust 23:48 Aloha And Feeling 25:23 Coaching And Emotional Release 26:19 Living Aloha Mindset 26:58 Where To Find Heather 27:57 Co Creation And Faith 29:56 Trust God Trust Self 33:01 Final Message Stand Out 35:03 Be More Love 35:41 Wrap Up And Share You can find Dr Heather Tucker at the following links: Website: www.AnotherLevelLiving.com YouTube: www.YouTube.com/@AnotherLevelLiv LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drheathertucker/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnotherLevelLiv You can find all things Coach Jackie, Your Freedom Mentor at the following link: https://destinymakers.net/links This includes links to connect, her small group programs, free intentional goal setting and so much more!

Healing, Boundaries & Reclaiming Your Life with Joanie Elizabeth 
Coach Jackie welcomes licensed mental health therapist, wellness coach, bestselling co-author, and Rise, Reclaim, and Renew podcast host Joanie Elizabeth, whom she met through the Brave (formerly Fave Lifestyles) organization. Jackie explains the “I Got It Girl” mindset—strength born from survival, fear, and control—and her own shift toward surrender, support, and thriving. Joanie shares childhood trauma, abandonment, and growing up feeling unseen, which shaped beliefs about not mattering and having to figure everything out alone, later contributing to abusive relationships. She describes a major turning point recognizing and leaving a narcissistic marriage, developing boundaries, learning to receive support, and inviting safe people into her life. They discuss healing the subconscious, releasing anger and “backpacks,” avoiding self-abandonment, empowering rather than enabling, and Joanie’s takeaway: you hold the pen and are the CEO of your mind and life. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:53 Meet Joanie Elizabeth 02:08 What Is the I Got It Girl 05:02 Joanie Childhood Survival Story 07:55 Beliefs and Family Dynamics 11:32 Jackie Reflects on Healing 13:27 Forgiveness and Backpack Release 15:38 PAAR Framework and Anger 18:53 Letting People In Again 19:52 Recovering I Got It Girl 21:01 Healing and Boundaries 22:08 Love Bombing Warning Signs 22:48 Naming Narcissistic Abuse 25:27 Grief and Getting Free 27:01 Letting Safe People In 28:02 Manifestation and Identity 30:48 Receive and Self Care 32:01 Stop Enabling Loved Ones 33:24 Freedom Comes Within 36:54 Find Joanie and Final Takeaway You can find Joanie Elizabeth, her coaching and podcast on her website https://www.wellnesswithjoanie.com/ And on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1Cq1HQCBDZ/?mibextid=wwXIfr You can find all things Coach Jackie, Your Freedom Mentor at the following link: https://destinymakers.net/links Don’t forget to subscribe or follow and share with someone who might need the power of this conversation.

Coach Jackie welcomes entrepreneur and speaker coach Caterina Rando, who shares her mission to help women thrive economically through entrepreneurship by selling authentically, using speaking to grow influence, and hosting retreats and masterminds.

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!
