I Got it Girl Podcast

In this episode Jackie welcomes Kristi Parry to the I Got it Girl podcast, describing her as a vibrant light whose sparkle reflects authenticity. Kristi shares her background as the second youngest of nine, her 31+ year marriage, four children including two adopted, and her work as a self-care coach and speaker focused on helping people step into their light.

The conversation centers on Jackie’s “I Got It Girl” concept—moving from control, survival, and fear into thriving, love, trust, and surrender. Kristi discusses parenting a challenging autistic son, codependent rescuing patterns, shame, and a pivotal 2017 therapy moment that reframed responsibility from “horizontal” self-burden to “vertical” trust in God or a higher power. They explore boundaries as compassion, feeling emotions as strength, giving others back their burdens, Kristi’s CPR method, and her Sparkle Reclamation program, retreats, and workshops.

Trauma, Self-Love, and Learning to Receive Support with Robin Carr

On this I Got a Girl podcast, I get to welcome award-winning international speaker, author, and Thrive Unapologetically founder Robin Carr, who describes her lifelong “I got it” mentality rooted in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and trauma.

Robin shares taking on responsibilities early after her mom’s diagnosis and dad’s travel, not disclosing sexual abuse at 15, and later experiencing abuse in relationships, including leaving her first husband after he hit her.

The conversation explores how “no big deal” thinking and fear of being a burden shape coping patterns, the difficulty and release of emotional awareness (including crying), and how Robin’s awakening began with deep depression. Robin credits Rhonda Byrne’s The Magic gratitude practice, mirror work, boundaries, and self-respect as key to healing, building true confidence, and learning to receive love and support.

On this episode Coach Jackie gets to interview my friend and peer, Carol Koppelman. She is an Arizona-based book editor, 13-time international bestselling author, and host of the Silver Linings Resilience and Remarkable Rebounds podcast.

We explore the “I got it” woman archetype: fierce independence, control, and self-sufficiency that can block receiving love and support, and how letting go shifts life from fear and survival into trust and thriving.

Carol shares being a “para parent” as the oldest of four, divorcing in her early 50s, returning to dating in her 60s, and remarrying at 61 to a trusted, traditional, kind partner. They discuss fears of losing independence (especially financial), learning safety through caregiving experiences, identity changes in later-life chapters, dating advice (coffee dates, know what you want, avoid old patterns), somatic healing, and the reminder that you’re not alone.

Coach Jackie welcomes Valentina Escobar Gonzalez, founder of Beyond Engagement Social Media Solutions, who shares her 14-year journey in social media marketing and her recent move from the South to Pennsylvania, where she had to rebuild community and business from scratch. They discuss the “I Got It Girl” shift from survival-driven independence to receiving support, trust, and surrender, including Jackie’s experience letting her husband support her during family health crises. Valentina describes putting herself in uncomfortable networking rooms, leveraging sisterhood groups like Polka Dot Powerhouse and the Junior League, and using curiosity to form connections. Business growth themes include investing in education, authenticity and storytelling, and practical visibility strategies—especially that LinkedIn comments can outperform posts for reach—plus choosing one “happy place” platform and defining consistency in a sustainable way.

Building a Business With White Space and Trust

Coach Jackie welcomes small business attorney, author, speaker, and Wise Owl Academy founder Cheri Andrews, who shares her background as a wife of 41 years, mother of three, and grandmother of three.

They discuss the “I got it girl” mindset—rooted in survival, control, and perfectionism—and how it can block love, trust, and receiving support. Cheri describes growing up as the oldest of seven in an abusive alcoholic home, then later carrying responsibility through motherhood and work.

After losing her corporate job in late 2019, launching her law practice in March 2020, and facing ongoing financial pressure during COVID, she burned out, then intentionally redesigned her business to create white space, prioritize health and family, and let referrals and speaking drive clients. Key takeaway: taking care of yourself matters more than business or money. Links mentioned: cheriandrews.com.

Coach Jackie welcomes Dr. Heather Tucker to the I Got It Girl podcast to discuss business and life harmony, shifting from survival and control into trust, love, and receiving and living the Aloha life. Heather shares her path from earning a PhD in human-computer interaction and working at the Army Research Laboratory—successful outwardly but depressed inside—to leaving government work, discovering coaching, and helping entrepreneurs create peace, energy, and momentum.

She explains her sailboat vs. speedboat vs. raft analogy for navigating life and highlights major relationship shifts rooted in childhood trauma, including molestation, her grandfather’s murder, and later her husband’s heart attack, which intensified anxiety and fear. Both discuss how suppressed emotions drive control, the value of feeling and healing, co-creating with God, and embracing one’s uniqueness: “You’re so much more than who you think you are.”

Coach Jackie welcomes licensed mental health therapist, wellness coach, bestselling co-author, and Rise, Reclaim, and Renew podcast host Joanie Elizabeth, whom she met through the Brave (formerly Fave Lifestyles) organization. Jackie explains the “I Got It Girl” mindset—strength born from survival, fear, and control—and her own shift toward surrender, support, and thriving.

Joanie shares childhood trauma, abandonment, and growing up feeling unseen, which shaped beliefs about not mattering and having to figure everything out alone, later contributing to abusive relationships. She describes a major turning point recognizing and leaving a narcissistic marriage, developing boundaries, learning to receive support, and inviting safe people into her life.

They discuss healing the subconscious, releasing anger and “backpacks,” avoiding self-abandonment, empowering rather than enabling, and Joanie’s takeaway: you hold the pen and are the CEO of your mind and life.

Coach Jackie welcomes entrepreneur and speaker coach Caterina Rando, who shares her mission to help women thrive economically through entrepreneurship by selling authentically, using speaking to grow influence, and hosting retreats and masterminds.

Jackie explains the “I Got It Girl” mindset rooted in childhood independence and how control and fear can block love and receiving. Caterina describes rebuilding after her husband depleted her accounts and created debt, learning to trust herself, choose possibility-focused action, and prioritize financial empowerment because financial distress limits women’s choices.

They discuss boundaries, avoiding rescuing others financially, curating aligned client communities, and making non-salesy offers by asking permission. Caterina shares resources at caterinarando.com/links, her podcast Expand Your Fempire, free monthly Zoom workshops, and a monthly Polka Dot Powerhouse dots speaker group connect.

On this episode Coach Jackie welcomes Lena Khais, an intentional manifestation coach with a background in industrial-organizational psychology and 25 years in corporate healthcare/insurance, who helps business owners break through revenue plateaus by combining energy work with business psychology and the art of receiving.

Lena shares moving to the U.S. in 1994 at 17, her corporate hustle mindset, and an “I got it” turning point when her six-year-old told her at the airport, “I’m gonna miss you,” prompting gradual change. She outlines three key shifts: empower your team instead of doing it all, find your “who” when you don’t know “how,” and focus on what you want rather than what’s broken. She explains bridging thoughts over toxic positivity and describes starting her business through “playing pretend” on Fridays, which eventually led to job elimination with severance and a full transition.
