“If you are at all thinking about doing this, DO IT! I was really feeling stuck in my life and needed to change something. Jackie gave me the tools to realize what it is I need to do to move forward in my life. We all get stuck in our routines and life sometimes, and this was a way to evaluate and work on real plans to move forward. Not to mention the wonderful women who were a part of the group chats. If you are finding yourself curious and are willing to put some time into you, then do not hesitate to sign up.”

“If you’re considering doing this, click the registration button and go for it! You can do nothing but benefit from learning practical tools for self reflection and self care and hearing the real stories and experiences of the other folks taking the journey with you. Take it from this extreme introvert, a little discomfort in sharing your own thoughts and emotions and forcing yourself to be vulnerable with a small group of complete strangers won’t kill you. You can’t grow and be comfortable at the same time. So sign up and get to growing!”

“This revealed things I hadn’t acknowledged about myself. By acknowledging these things, I’ve come to a much better place mentally. I now have new tools to feel confident in decisions and new directions I may go in my life.”

“This exceeded my expectations! If you participate fully, you will walk away with excellent tools that you will have learned how to utilize, and with inspiration to go forth and conquer, even if you don’t know what you’re going to conquer!”

“Thank you! This has truly been life-changing!”

“Your future self will thank you for making room in your life for this experience.”

“This program was great and I highly recommend it. The tools I now have to use will help me go through my life with design not by default. Thank you so much Jackie! <3"

“In The Artist’s Journey, best-selling author Steven Pressfield describes what comes after the resurrection and upon the return of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey. “The hero returns to the place from which he originally set forth. But he does not come home empty-handed. He brings a transforming wisdom, an ‘elixir’, that he donates to the wider community, to save it and bring it peace.” In my estimation, that is a true and accurate description of Jackie’s JUMPstart program, ‘A GIFT FOR THE PEOPLE.’ Wherever you find yourself on your hero’s journey, there are tools and toys to support you — from someone who has walked the difficult path and returned with jewels of hard-earned wisdom. Come and play, won’t you?”

YOU ARE AMAZING. I definitely want to travel with you again! Keep hosting these trips and retreats – I’ve been telling everyone about my experience and how rewarding it was. I thank you so much for planning this for us. I’ve come home inspired and hope to keep that with me for a long time.

I want all the women in my life to have this experience, because it was so transformational.

I’ve traveled a few places but Ecuador was by far the best. Jackie you really know how to bring out the best in people. Thank you for the tools to help me become the best person I can be. Did I mention I’m unstoppable?

Thank you so much for hosting this retreat. Meeting you and the other ladies, listening to everyones stories, and conquering challenges that I never thought I could, has changed my perspective on things in a way that I can already see is changing my life. To paraphrase from the aliens in Toy Story 2, “You have changed my life. I am eternally grateful.”
