Courtney is a mom to three girls, Army spouse, and the owner of Simple Mama Virtual Assistance.

She felt like a phony looking like the epitome of health and fitness when she was anything but fit and healthy.
 
When she and her husband decided to start a family, she made the heart wrenching decision to leave competing to heal from the years of putting her body through extremes.
 
Stepping away from the stage allowed her to step in to her new purpose and passion, guiding women towards creating results from a place of balance, self-love, and sustainability.
 
Danielle’s mission is helping women tap into their unlimited potential by first feeling in control of their bodies.

At twenty-two years old, Jackie found herself as a divorced single mom. She remarried the love of her life when her daughter was thirteen. At forty, Jackie became an empty nester. For five years she lived with no real passion or purpose. Jackie was now at a place where she could live a life that was just for her. The problem was, she did not know who she was outside of her titles and roles she had been living from. Jackie realized that after all the years of taking care of her daughter, being a wife, and a business owner, she had spent virtually no time taking care of herself and/or asking herself what she wanted.

Until...she had a moment when she decided ‘I couldn't live like that anymore’. Jackie, now 57— fifty-heaven— is living out this whole new chapter that she is designing, and she is living with more passion and purpose than she believed possible!

Now, Jackie has been helping women re-ignite their passions and map out their new dream life, and start living it. Jackie Armstrong is your dream consultant, expert guide and goal strategist for women that consider themselves in their midlife.

She has developed a proven process for taking women in midlife who have found themselves burned out wondering where their passion for life and their dreams went. She not only believes but knows that you have a purpose and a life to live outside of the roles you've been currently living from. Jackie has a proven process to help you realign and reignite your passions and your dreams by connecting with your true authentic self.

"Everyone is fighting for a better life, some sitting in a chemo chair & others on the daily grind at work or home...the question you have to ask yourself, is how do you actually MOVE FORWARD & get the life you're fighting for."

It was January 2015 when the words “it’s cancer” were uttered. It was a road never travelled before. Although many would think it was a nightmare, Desri knew it was a journey with a destination of survival at the other end. Throughout the journey, Desri learned the beauty of having a solid plan, the power of positivity, the importance of being your own advocate, the value of a supportive community, and what courage really looks like.

Training under the world’s #1 high performance coach, at The High Performance Institute, Desri is a highly motivated leader and certified coach, who builds and retains high performance teams by recruiting, developing, engaging, & inspiring skilled professionals. She knows how to engage people, energize organizations, & turn potential into performance.  Desri has a well-rounded background in corporate and association leadership, medical (having a Doctorate in Pharmacy), entrepreneurship, real estate, and, of course, survivorship. She has a passion for leading people and has created teams people want to be a part of. She has been in the real estate industry for over 10 years and has been a broker, owner, and high producing real estate agent. In 2019, Desri was North Dakota’s REALTOR® of the Year.
