Bisi MacGregor on Awakening the Liberated Woman: Outgrowing the “Should” Path, Trusting Inner Knowing & Building Fear Freedom

In this podcast conversation, the Jackie interviews Bisi MacGregor—founder of Fear Freedom and creator of the Live More Fearless methodology—about helping women who have built a good life create a great one by stopping overthinking through life coaching, mindset coaching, and mentorship. Bisi shares her concept of the “Liberated woman,” shaped by growing up in Nigeria within a prescribed path for children and women, and explains how choosing her own path created ongoing family tension. She describes leaving a 22-year corporate finance career in 2019 to build her coaching business, discusses how inner knowing gets quiet under social “normal” pressures and fear of loss, and defines “outgrown” as when an old life can’t hold the new you. They explore support, uncertainty, surrender, receiving love without losing identity, and Bisi’s advice to follow the inner pull and partner with skilled support.

Embracing Challenges: The Gift of Adversity in 2024

Coach Jackie shares why 2024 became her “SmackDown year” and how adversity brought unexpected gifts. After she and her husband paused their nomadic RV life in Gypsum, Colorado, she returned to New Jersey when her stepmom was hospitalized and she learned her dad had early-onset dementia. Jackie became his primary caretaker for two months, learned she couldn’t do it alone, and ultimately helped place him in memory care. She also returned to advocate for her stepmom’s care, helped and witnessed her shift from control to surrender before she passed in November 2024. Jackie then supported her stepdaughter through a surgery after being hit head on the evening of our wedding. Spending 8–9 months away from home helped her deepen her marriage and reinforced her mission to help women release fear-based control. She introduces her PAR framework: Pause, Assess, Respond, Receive, Release.

From Survival & Control to Trust, Love, and the Freedom Life

Coach Jackie launches the I Got it Girl Podcast after years as a guest on other shows, sharing her mission to help women (and anyone who relates) feel less alone and move from survival, control, and fear into trust, surrender, love, and joy. She explains how losing her mom at age five and growing up with a busy father and much older siblings led her to raise herself, become fiercely independent, and build a successful life, including a 30-year leadership career in the restaurant industry and funding her own college. Jackie describes how self-development and starting her own business in 2019 helped her release control, receive support, deepen her marriage after years of guardedness, heal abandonment and financial control patterns, and reconnect with a higher power. Future episodes will feature women’s “I Got it Girl” stories and practical shifts into thriving and fulfillment.

Have you ever said “I got it” . . .I’m fine, I’m good, I’ve got this. . . while silently holding everything together with sheer willpower and exhaustion?

Yeah… same.

Welcome to The I Got It Girl Podcast, a space for recovering I Got It Girls who are tired of surviving on control, hustle, and self-reliance, and are ready for something different.

Here, we talk about the moment when having it all together stops working.

This podcast shares real, raw stories from my own journey and from other women who have lived successful, responsible, “good” lives… yet realized they were living from survival instead of trust. Control instead of freedom. Fear instead of love.

Together, we explore what happens when you loosen the grip. When you stop muscling your way through life. When you surrender not to give up, but to finally thrive.

Expect conversations about:

• Letting go of control without losing yourself
• Moving from chaos to peace
• Releasing the identity of “the strong one”
• Learning to trust life, love, and yourself again
• Finding freedom in the middle of real life—not a perfect one

This show is for you if you want more ease, joy, and authenticity but aren’t quite sure what that looks like yet, or how to get there.

Hang out with me. Learn through real experiences. Take the pressure off having it all figured out. And discover that you’re not broken, you’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone.

Hit follow so you don’t miss the powerful little nuggets that remind you that it gets to be different and you don’t have to do it all by yourself anymore.
