    Hidden Money Shame & the “Million-Dollar You”

    Hidden Money Shame & the “Million-Dollar You”: How Somatic Healing Revealed What Was Still Holding Me Back Coach Jackie hosts a solo episode of the I Got a Girl podcast about how healing happens in layers and why old wounds can resurface at new levels. She shares a recent experience where her husband offered a $150 gift card to a pricey store, but she felt anxiety, resisted receiving, and later cried in public without initially knowing why. Jackie traced the trigger back to growing up unable to afford or fit expensive clothes and a high school job experience at Fendi where she was told she didn’t fit the brand, leaving lasting shame and a belief that she didn’t belong. After journaling and reflecting on her “million-dollar version,” she returned, chose $250 Oakley sunglasses, and began rebuilding identity around deserving, belonging, and abundance. She explains talk coaching vs. somatic work, invites listeners to envision their next-level self, and shares her Destiny Makers membership, inner circle, retreats, and coaching. 00:00 Welcome and Topic Setup 00:30 Why Healing Keeps Returning 01:36 Gift Card Trigger at the Store 04:06 Tears and the Realization 04:45 Old Shame from Short Hills 05:37 Fendi Job Rejection Story 08:08 Rewriting the Million Dollar Identity 10:37 Somatic Work and Ongoing Growth 12:34 Your Million Dollar Self Reflection 13:54 Closing and Ways to Work Together You can find all things Coach Jackie, Your Freedom Mentor at the following link: https://destinymakers.net/links This includes links to Connect and coffee chat, her Destiny Makers Inner Circle mastermind, Destiny Makers Membership, Free intentional goal setting video, Freedom and Adventure Retreats, How to work with her in one on one coaching containers and so much more!

    Psychological Safety & Holding Space: Creating Powerful Containers for Women

    Psychological Safety & Holding Space: Creating Powerful Containers for Women Coach Jackie shares a solo episode of the I Got it Girl podcast about creating “psychological safety” through intentional containers where people can fully be themselves without masking, softening, or fear of rejection. She connects this gift to her decades in restaurant leadership and her coaching business (Jackie Cote Coaching, launched February 2019 after being fired in August 2018), explaining how her memberships, group coaching, workshops, and retreats quickly help women feel safe enough to share and release emotions. She describes a recent feminine-energy gathering in a networking group and contrasts “doing” (masculine) with “being,” as well as a 2023 retreat where one question—“Why are you here?”—led to life-changing vulnerability and support. She invites listeners to connect via links, join her $222 Destiny Makers membership with four live Zoom calls monthly, and support the podcast by liking, subscribing, sharing, and leaving reviews. 00:00 Welcome Back Update 00:24 Psychological Safety Explained 01:11 Coaching Journey Origins 03:16 Why Groups Feel Magical 03:58 Feminine vs Masculine Energy 05:28 Creating Space to Feel 06:42 Destiny Makers Membership 08:27 Retreats and Holding Containers 10:40 Invitation to Connect 12:46 Podcast Mission and Wrap Destiny Makers Membership https://destinymakers.net/dmm2025 Destiny Makers Inner Circle https://destinymakers.net/dm-inner-circle Florence Italy April 2027 https://destinymakers.net/florence2027 Glacier National Park Montana August 2027 https://destinymakers.net/keuka2027 You can find all things Coach Jackie, Your Freedom Mentor at the following link: https://destinymakers.net/links This includes links to Connect and coffee chat, her Destiny Makers Inner Circle mastermind, Destiny Makers Membership, Free intentional goal setting video, Freedom and Adventure Retreats, How to work with her in one on one coaching containers and so much more!

    Authenticity and Empowerment: Living Your Light in a Sparkle Revolution with Kristi Parry

    In this episode Jackie welcomes Kristi Parry to the I Got it Girl podcast, describing her as a vibrant light whose sparkle reflects authenticity. Kristi shares her background as the second youngest of nine, her 31+ year marriage, four children including two adopted, and her work as a self-care coach and speaker focused on helping people step into their light. The conversation centers on Jackie’s “I Got It Girl” concept—moving from control, survival, and fear into thriving, love, trust, and surrender. Kristi discusses parenting a challenging autistic son, codependent rescuing patterns, shame, and a pivotal 2017 therapy moment that reframed responsibility from “horizontal” self-burden to “vertical” trust in God or a higher power. They explore boundaries as compassion, feeling emotions as strength, giving others back their burdens, Kristi’s CPR method, and her Sparkle Reclamation program, retreats, and workshops. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:51 Kristi Sparkle Story 03:26 Authenticity Over Outfit 04:50 What Is I Got It Girl 07:02 Parenting Crisis Mode 09:37 Therapist Wheel Breakthrough 13:22 No Fire Check-In 17:32 Origins of Fixing 22:52 Emotions and Reclaiming Power 23:51 Stop Numbing Feelings 25:13 Adversity Builds Joy 26:14 Vices and Vulnerability 27:31 Burden and Letting Go 29:23 Love What Is 29:38 CPR to Reawaken 30:38 Give Back Their Stuff 36:02 Boundaries Are Love 38:37 Confidence Feeling Emotions 40:36 Programs Retreats and Farewell You can find Kristi Parry at the following links: https://www.facebook.com/share/19wsTqoxbU/?mibextid=wwXIfr, https://www.instagram.com/coachkristiparry?igsh=MXdsNWQ0emdlazg2ag== https://www.coachkristiparry.com https://www.youtube.com/@kristiparrysparkle https://www.tiktok.com/@coachkristisparkle?_r=1&_t=ZP-95A7OJ45ggI https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachkristi/ https://tidycal.com/coachkristiparry/freecoachingcall20240501051258 https://coachkristiparry.myflodesk.com/sparklemeditation You can find all things Coach Jackie, Your Freedom Mentor at the following link: https://destinymakers.net/links This includes links to Connect and coffee chat, her Destiny Makers Inner Circle mastermind, Destiny Makers Membership, Free intentional goal setting video, Freedom and Adventure Retreats, How to work with her in one on one coaching containers and so much more!

    Trauma, Self-Love, and Learning to Receive Support with Robin Carr

    Trauma, Self-Love, and Learning to Receive Support with Robin Carr On this I Got a Girl podcast, I get to welcome award-winning international speaker, author, and Thrive Unapologetically founder Robin Carr, who describes her lifelong “I got it” mentality rooted in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and trauma. Robin shares taking on responsibilities early after her mom’s diagnosis and dad’s travel, not disclosing sexual abuse at 15, and later experiencing abuse in relationships, including leaving her first husband after he hit her. The conversation explores how “no big deal” thinking and fear of being a burden shape coping patterns, the difficulty and release of emotional awareness (including crying), and how Robin’s awakening began with deep depression. Robin credits Rhonda Byrne’s The Magic gratitude practice, mirror work, boundaries, and self-respect as key to healing, building true confidence, and learning to receive love and support. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:42 Robin’s I Got It Story 02:03 Recovering Control Mindset 04:04 Early Responsibility and Trauma 07:33 No Big Deal and Burden 09:30 Losing Your Voice 13:27 Awakening and Depression 15:35 Crying and Somatic Release 19:22 Love and Relationship Walls 20:44 Father Wound Origins 22:27 Abuse Pattern Repeats 22:58 Leaving First Marriage 24:05 Learning To Receive Love 25:39 Surrender And Support 27:41 Gratitude Rewrites Story 31:31 Confidence Through Self Love 33:42 Mirror Work And Boundaries 35:42 Where To Follow Robin 38:07 Self Love With Grace 40:26 Closing Thanks And Wrap You can find Robin at the following link: https://linktr.ee/TheRobinCarr You can find all things Coach Jackie, Your Freedom Mentor at the following link: https://destinymakers.net/links This includes links to Connect and coffee chat, her Destiny Makers Inner Circle mastermind, Destiny Makers Membership, Free intentional goal setting video, Freedom and Adventure Retreats, How to work with her in one on one coaching containers and so much more!

    Finding Love, Trust & Safety in a Second-Chapter Relationship with Carol Koppelman

    On this episode Coach Jackie gets to interview my friend and peer, Carol Koppelman. She is an Arizona-based book editor, 13-time international bestselling author, and host of the Silver Linings Resilience and Remarkable Rebounds podcast. We explore the “I got it” woman archetype: fierce independence, control, and self-sufficiency that can block receiving love and support, and how letting go shifts life from fear and survival into trust and thriving. Carol shares being a “para parent” as the oldest of four, divorcing in her early 50s, returning to dating in her 60s, and remarrying at 61 to a trusted, traditional, kind partner. They discuss fears of losing independence (especially financial), learning safety through caregiving experiences, identity changes in later-life chapters, dating advice (coffee dates, know what you want, avoid old patterns), somatic healing, and the reminder that you’re not alone. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:23 What Is an I Got It Girl 02:39 Carol’s Independence Story 04:15 Dating Again and Remarrying 06:09 Learning to Receive Support 08:51 Trust Built Through Caregiving 10:45 Independence Fears and Boundaries 16:53 Money Independence and Partnership 18:20 Advice for Dating Later in Life 19:15 Ditch the Bad Boys 21:07 Coffee Dates and No Pressure 21:30 Somatic Healing and Control 23:24 Make the Values List 25:35 Kindness Over Checklists 28:23 Psychological Safety in Love 31:32 Second Chapter Identity Shift 35:40 Where to Find Carol 37:41 You Are Not Alone 39:01 Closing Thanks and Share You can find all of Carol’s stuff here: https://linktr.ee/carolkoppelman You can find all things Coach Jackie, Your Freedom Mentor at the following link: https://destinymakers.net/links This includes links to Connect and coffee chat, her Destiny Makers Inner Circle mastermind, Destiny Makers Membership, Free intentional goal setting video, Freedom and Adventure Retreats, How to work with her in one on one coaching containers and so much more!

    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.
