My goodness is this true! My foundational belief is this: life is happening FOR us, not TO us. There is a lesson inside every obstacle, a nugget of wisdom in every disagreement, a truth under every uncomfortable moment... and if we open our eyes and hearts to see these truths, they are revealed to us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👂🏼Couple things: 1. I just published a new solo podcast episode! - It's a LIFE UPDATE and it's about Quest Physics (more on this later). 2. I've missed doing solo episodes. More of these to come, as well. - Do you have requests on topics?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🕵🏼‍♀️ Also, after listening to the episode and my announcement... lmk if you are in Arizona! And, what are your recommendations? - Restaurants, stores, hangouts, hikes, happy hours, etc. I want to know all the things!💃🏼

Do you ever just want to hit the reset button? I get it. Some things I've hit the reset button on or am working to do so:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ the way I think about my success⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ the way I think about my body⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ the way I think about my relationship with ______⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ my money story⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ my health story⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ my belief around what I'm capable of⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ the shame I carry around not being further along⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ the guilt I carry around not being perfect⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ the fear I carry around what the future will hold⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ the doubt that I will accomplish my deepest desires (like writing and publishing a book, reaching a million women, etc.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm sharing this because we CAN reset. We can totally change our perspective and shift from a state of feeling powerless to feeling POWERFUL. Sometimes, though, we need fresh eyes and ears to help us do so.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm offering ten free 30 minute Reset Calls in the next week. You can book via the link in my bio that reads: 30 MIN. RESET CALL. If you've been feeling stuck like so many have, this is an invitation to get back in the flow. I'll lovingly hold your hand through the process.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's just as important to receive as it is to give. Allow yourself some space to receive. <3

How can I be kind to myself today? - That's what I

How can I be kind to myself today? - That's what I just asked as I felt my throat tighten and my back tense up.

The last couple of months, well, let's be honest, years, have been stressful. Entrepreneurship (both my husband and I). Lots of moves (something like 14 states). Living in an RV the last 8 months in less than 300 square feet with two adults and 3 dogs. Managing and building our businesses from the road without reliable internet... blah, blah, blah. I'm so fortunate to be living this life but sometimes it does feel like I'm drinking from a fire hydrant. It's felt like that a lot recently.

There is so, so much good in there, too, but I'm reaching a point where I need some stability. And now, we are moving to Phoenix and buying a car. (We've been sharing a Ford F350 dually since we sold my vehicle last August (how did households only have 1 car?!?!?!)) - Also, picture my 5'3 self driving a small semi and let yourself laugh your A off. It's comical, but I have to say, I'm pretty good at it. People definitely get out of my way on the road...

Anyway, back to kindness and taking care of ourselves. There are periods where it's really hard to slow down. I get that. I'm in one now, so, amidst all the obligations and stimulation, I'm asking how I can be kind to myself so that I avoid burning out.

✨Meditation
✨I'm going to spend some time on the chi machine (more on that later)
✨I'm going to get oily with my EO's
✨Putting my phone away because it makes my cortisol sky rocket
✨Breatheeeee

These seemingly little things add up and, even though this period is busy, make me feel like I am valuing myself.

Are you being kind to yourself?

Thank you @wearpact for being one of the leaders in this charge to provide high quality clothing that respects what the earth provides.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What kind of green vibes are you feeling today?!?!

Grace. I want to give it, I want to receive it. -

Grace. I want to give it, I want to receive it. - I had an awesome chat yesterday with my friend, @justalexrae, and we talked so much about grace. Here's why:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The subject of boundaries was brought up. A lot of you have asked me about boundaries recently. And when you are establishing boundaries, it's really normal that the people you are establishing them with give you some pushback. - Especially in the beginning.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why grace is so important. Grace for ourselves as we wobble through having better boundaries with others, and grace for others as they wobble through their own processes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What does this look like in action: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ giving people a loving pass when they are late once in a while⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ not getting upset when you have to remind someone of something a couple times when they are walking through a really busy season⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ saying "no worries" and meaning it when someone needs to reschedule because they are feeling over extended⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ not responding in anger when someone is angry with you, but instead, responding with grace⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ allowing someone the room to be frustrated with you for that boundary you laid, but not letting their frustration rule you because you know you are worthy of that boundary⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are all so human. We are all carrying so much on a daily basis. Grace allows us to move with more ease - in our relationship with ourselves and others. And like I mentioned yesterday - I'm into the simplest route these days. Little scenarios like I mentioned above aren't worth getting upset over.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am striving to give what I want to receive in my relationships and today my focus is grace. - Not to be walked over by any means, but to lovingly put myself in another's shoes and go from there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What does the word "grace" bring up for you?

"What is the simplest decision?" - I find myself a

"What is the simplest decision?" - I find myself asking this question a lot lately. Simplicity, in a world where chaos feels like the baseline, is a quiet act of sacred rebellion. Its sacred because our souls cry out for simplicity - for it is most often in the quiet that we can hear their voices.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Its going to UPS even though its a little more expensive because it will save you 20 minutes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ It's having a simple meal instead of cooking a time sucking creation when you are tired after work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Its reading a book instead of scrolling on your phone during lunch.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simplicity is smile-inducing. Simplicity is soft. Simplicity is sacred.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🦋 Simplicity creates space for joy - for the magic of every day moments we so often overlook.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌓 How does the idea of simplicity feel to you? What will you simplify today?

"The longest journey we take as human beings is th

"The longest journey we take as human beings is the eighteen inches from our head to our heart." - Unknown
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we look around its so easy to see the disconnection - from nature, from each other, from ourselves.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We live in a society that is increasingly focused on "me, me, me," yet, when we take the journey from our head to our heart, the irony is, our heart is so often saying "you, you, you - how can I serve you?" Meaning, how can I serve those around me?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had an incredible conversation with Dr. Keith Campbell on a book he wrote called "The New Science of Narcissism." This man literally started the national conversation around narcissism years ago, and in our podcast interview (Ep. 64), we chat:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ The traits of narcissistic personality disorder
+ The ramifications of flippantly calling someone a narcissist
+ How social media can be dangerous when it comes to culture- wide narcissistic tendencies
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The beauty here is: we can turn this around. We can actively take care of ourselves and still serve others. We can choose to both love ourselves AND love the people around us to our fullest capacity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
<3 What's your favorite way to show someone you love them?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have several ways that I love, but my favorite recently has been with a thoughtful gift. - To show and say "I see you and I love you and I appreciate you."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I left L.A. yesterday.

I was there for an important meeting and I want to unravel several of the really cool things I’m discovering, and please, ask me your questions. We are on the self-discovery journey together.

+ as of tomorrow, I will have meditated 100 days straight. It’s no accident that some of the biggest shifts in my life have happened in the last 100 days.

+ we do not have to heal and grow alone. I used to think it was a solo journey, it’s not. It’s a solo decision to walk in the direction of healing and growth but teachers present themselves and if we are wise, we accept their help.

+ growth doesn’t have to be incremental. We can take quantum leaps and achieve well beyond the obvious. This requires a dramatic mindset shift, but these quantum leaps are available to all of us.

This healing, this growth - it’s the foundation of emotional freedom which translates into creating the life one dreams of. I’m watching it unfold before my eyes and simultaneously thinking “this is the truth I have been seeking. It’s been here all along.”

Easter is the day in which Jesus rose 🌹- we are invited to do the same.

You can book a Sacred Space one-on-one call with me via the link in my bio. You don’t have to wait or walk alone.

With so much love,
Jaclyn

I appreciate a curated feed and photo, but this is

I appreciate a curated feed and photo, but this is the real me. It's raw. It's sunset after a work day. I'm taking a hike and releasing the to-list hangover that sometimes seeps into my evening hours.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moments like these are my transition moments. They are the moments that help me center - that bring be back to my aliveness. I've been thinking about what makes me feel alive a lot lately and I've realized what it is: serving others.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And with that, I've decided, after looking at the impact my podcast, Self Discovery, is making to offer one-on-one coaching. I don't have a secret methodology. I don't have a 10 step program. But what I do have is a lot of life experience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My offerings are rooted in self-worth, because in my experience, every "obstacle" I have faced - in entrepreneurship, in relationships, in my health, in my bank account - has been clearly tied to feelings of self doubt, low self esteem, unworthiness, fear, and an attitude of "WTF am I doing with my life?!?!?!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are struggling, if you are ready to welcome in a new era, and if you are willing to let go of the bs self-limiting beliefs holding you back, then shoot me a text and let's get this conversation started: 480-531-6858.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yeah, that's really my number, and yeah, I'm really on the other end of the line. You will have to agree to opt-in, but I promise I will be the person you are speaking to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This world needs you in your you-est form - that's one of the many gorgeous reasons you are here. And if you need help stepping into that kind of life-altering, soul singing, powerful self-worth, I am one text message away.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With So Much Love,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I took my dogs for a hike yesterday, and Pippin, m

I took my dogs for a hike yesterday, and Pippin, my 4.5 pound Yorkie is a pill on long walks. She thinks she is the leader of the pack. She “muscles” her way around and keeps her nose to the ground like a hound on a scent. The problem is, her intensity, at times, makes her completely unaware of where she is heading. And yesterday, my dog Tumnus, (who is about 4x the size of Pip) somehow got a few feet ahead of her and was lifting his leg and peeing on a big rock. This is not unusual, but what was unusual was that Pippin in all her intensity did not see Tumnus peeing and walked STRAIGHT THROUGH the stream. Across her whole left side was a line of fresh Tumnus proof of what had just happened.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This reminded me of how we are as humans. We get so intense, so focused, that we forget to look up and around. This looking up and around allows us to take stock of our lives. I mentioned that I hired a healer. She is an intuitive acupuncturist that can read energy. She said to me, “Jaclyn, you must stop doing, doing, doing, and practice just being.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just being. I have been practicing it this past week and it has allowed me to take an aerial view of my life. I realize that so many of the things that I worry about have very little importance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being alive is important, and if we are caught up in the intensity of living, it’s really hard to feel alive. In a world where shootings (Atlanta, Boulder) are common place, this concept of being is even more important. Life is PRECIOUS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is my open prayer for the families of the victims lost in these shootings. Join me if you feel led… I pray that these families feel enveloped by love and a deep knowing that they will one day be reunited with their precious loved ones. And that in this time of grief, they would allow themselves the space to just be. And like Johnnyswim sings “if it’s fragile and it shatters, let it matter, let it matter.”
