​
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.
​​
The Goal
​I launched the Inspired by Jacqueline Podcast, to educate, spread awareness and equip women globally. Tune in to the Podcast, as well as the Breaking The Glass Ceiling book where I discuss my journey with infertility while being an entrepreneur.
Also check out the Becoming An Unstoppable Woman book, where I share my journey on how I changed my narrative as a shy introvert. My journey was featured in the Event Therapy Magazine, a magazine focused on building mental health awareness for event and entertainment professional.
​
My purpose driven goal is to be a part of a woman's healing journey in these three pillars: Entrepreneurship, Faith, and Infertility.
