    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!

    Magnetic Desires: Letting Go of Survival Mechanisms

    Coach Jackie introduces a new weekly “Freedom 15” segment (5–15 minutes) focused on the freedom to be you and releasing “I got it girl” survival mechanisms to move from surviving to thriving. She explains that many survival patterns form in early childhood and shares her own story of becoming fiercely independent after her mother died when she was five, learning to care for herself and working extensively to pay for college. Jackie distinguishes head desires from heart desires and says you can’t be magnetic to true desires while operating from fear, worry, and survival identity (like constant problem-solving). She describes how 2024 adversity—caring for her dad with dementia and advocating for her stepmom in the hospital—forced her to surrender, reduce work, close her membership, and allow her husband’s support, deepening their relationship. She invites listeners to identify their default patterns and shift to trust, receiving, and “we got it.” To check out the Destiny Makers Membership she spoke about in this episode click this link: https://destinymakers.net/dmm2025 00:00 Freedom 15 Intro 01:09 Survival Mechanisms Explained 02:51 Desires Head vs Heart 03:44 I Got It Girl Pattern 06:08 From Fear to Thriving 06:48 2024 Adversity Lesson 08:36 Letting Others Support You 09:54 Find Your Default Pattern 11:11 We Got It Girl Shift 11:58 Wrap Up and Offers 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, retreats, one on one coaching and so much more!

    Coach Jackie’s Freedom Roadmap (Vision, Beliefs, Mindset, Money & Support)

    Coach Jackie shares the origin of her “I Got a Girl” concept, growing up fiercely independent after early loss and learning to survive through control, while realizing that this mindset can block love, connection, and true fulfillment. She explains how many people stay stuck for decades in jobs, relationships, or locations that no longer fit, feeling resentment, frustration, and unfulfillment, and how surrendering control can shift life from surviving to thriving. Jackie introduces how her Freedom Roadmap that she takes clients through was built from seven years of coaching and includes a vision plan, belief plan, mindset plan, financial plan, and support plan tailored to each person. She encourages taking small, stackable steps and emphasizes that action creates clarity and momentum.

    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!
