episode Dance With the Mess of Stress: Letting Go of Control, Healing, and Nervous System Regulation with Eileen McDonald cover

Description

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 [http://www.eileenmcdonald.com] Facebook: @Eileen Mullins McDonald LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eileenmcdonald [https://www.linkedin.com/in/eileenmcdonald] Instagram: @eileenmullins.mcdonald For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links [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://coach-wendy.com/] https://www.facebook.com/WendyTaddeucci/ [https://www.facebook.com/WendyTaddeucci/] https://www.instagram.com/wendytaddeucci/ [https://www.instagram.com/wendytaddeucci/] https://coach-wendy.com/subscribe-now [https://coach-wendy.com/subscribe-now] For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links [https://destinymakers.net/links] You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

Understanding and Overcoming Burnout with EFT Tapping with Nancy Linnerooth

Coach Jackie welcomes Nancy, a former lawyer turned therapist and now coach, to discuss how women business owners can clear subconscious “rules” that drive overworking, burnout, visibility fears, and money blocks. Nancy shares her path from Harvard Law School and nine years of practicing law to 17+ years as a therapist, then building a coaching business by releasing hidden beliefs like needing to work hard to be valuable or loyal. They explore the “I Got It Girl” pattern of control and survival, how burnout can repeat in sneaky ways, and why rest and “being” must come before doing and having. Nancy explains EFT tapping, how she identifies underlying rules by rating their emotional charge, and how tapping helps break fear-based subconscious connections.

Embracing My Villain Era with Victoria Sexton: Letting Go and Living Authentically

Coach Jackie welcomes her friend Victoria, host of the “My Villain Era” podcast, to talk about leaving people-pleasing behind and putting yourself first. Victoria shares how a breaking point tied to family conflict and enforcing boundaries led her to release relationships that weren’t aligned and step into a more authentic life. Together they discuss how growth can shift your “vibration,” why friendships change over time, and how grief can include mourning what you hoped relationships or careers would become. Victoria describes finding greater peace, reduced mental chatter, and manifesting as she practices letting go. She highlights tools and influences like Joe Dispenza and Neville Goddard, and emphasizes the importance of a supportive “girl gang.” Victoria also previews her upcoming Main Character Collective community. 00:00 Welcome And Introductions 01:08 My Villain Era Origin 04:08 Boundaries Break The Spell 06:52 Losing People Gaining Depth 09:15 Energy Vibes And Timelines 13:55 Grief Letting Go Peace 17:48 Golden Handcuffs And Chatter 24:15 Practices And Girl Gang 30:55 Main Character Collective 33:14 Wrap Up And Where To Find You can find Victoria’s podcast at https://linktr.ee/myvillainera [https://linktr.ee/myvillainera] For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links [https://destinymakers.net/links] You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!

episode Finding Your Voice and Prioritizing Your Values with Executive Coach Lisa Condon artwork

Finding Your Voice and Prioritizing Your Values with Executive Coach Lisa Condon

Coach Jackie welcomes executive coach and international speaker Lisa Condon to discuss the “I got it girl” experience of appearing to have it all together while living from survival, control, and fear. Lisa shares growing up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with a “don’t talk about feelings” culture, experiencing childhood sexual trauma, and losing her voice in a male-dominated corporate newspaper career despite conventional success. A pivotal moment came when a publisher tried to withhold earned commissions from Lisa’s team, prompting her to speak up from an integrity-based place and catalyzing her shift toward consulting and building community impact work, including creating “Nonprofit Palooza” at a Vermont music festival. They explore recognizing resistance, head vs. heart alignment, identifying core values, the importance of having coaches, and Lisa’s key lesson: you don’t always value your priorities, but you can always prioritize your values. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:47 Meet Lisa Condon 01:51 What Is the I Got It Girl 03:06 Corporate Success vs True Dream 04:17 Finding Her Voice 08:16 The Integrity Showdown 11:35 Saying Yes to Consulting 16:05 Nonprofit Palooza and Heart Space 17:50 Cards and New Energy 18:33 Heart Space Work 19:25 Childhood Clues 21:06 Annual Why Audit 23:01 Coaches Need Coaches 24:27 Resistance Vs Ease 25:35 What Alignment Means 29:17 Core Values Shift 33:04 Prioritize Your Values 35:49 Connect With Lisa 36:44 Wrap Up And Subscribe For all things Lisa Condon https://lisacondon.com/services-1 [https://lisacondon.com/services-1] For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/links [https://destinymakers.net/links] You will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!
