​

Well that is just a glimpse of my BARE minimum.

​

Are you wondering if it makes me feel uncomfortable to be so open and vulnerable by sharing this information? Although I would have been at one point in my life, at this point I am just grateful and hope it can help someone going through a tough journey. 

​​​​​​

Why Inspired by Jacqueline?

Being vulnerable is one thing, but being strong enough to handle a situation where we feel like we've been dealt a bad hand is quite another.  

​

Inspired by Jacqueline was created from a place of vulnerability where I thought I would not survive each circumstance that seemed impossible to get out of, but I did.  That has turned into my purpose and a part of my core foundation.

​

This is a safe space. This is a place of transparency. This is a place where you will find tools and resources to help you feel like you are not alone. The goal is for you to reach the emotional wellness.

​

Whether the struggle is related to entrepreneurship, faith or infertility, you will find something here for you, whether it's on the podcast, journal, book, article or the resource page.

​

How Are My Three Pillars Are Connected?

​​​
I has been an entrepreneur and well-esteemed professional in the event industry for over 25 years. A life of entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart, which is one of the reasons why its one of my pillars.
​​
At the age of 28, I learned that my journey towards motherhood would take an unexpected turn into a journey with infertility. This is one of the reasons that lead me to advocate for other women.
​
Through all of my unexpected circumstances, my faith, though shaky at times, has kept me firmly grounded. Whether it was a challenge or a loss, my resilience and faith has allowed me to move ahead towards my purpose.
​
Other than being a Latina CEO, I am an Author, Speaker, Educator, Mentor, and Podcast Host. I am also described as being genuine, caring, resilient, patient, mindful, funny, empathetic, driven, reliable, trustworthy, curious, a survivor, and a realist.
​​​
I am always looking for ways to support & empower girls and women by mentoring and speaking at events that build awareness and encourage women to be curious and driven. As a supporter of women’s mental wellness, I created this community that offers life-changing tools and resources. This community was created with intention and purpose based on my real life experiences in all the three pillars: Entrepreneurship, Faith, and Infertility.
