I Got it Girl Podcast

In this I Got It Girl podcast episode I get to shine the light on my business peer and dear friend Jennifer Nichols, who shares how a lifetime of coping alone, shaped by being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at eight and managing family crises including her father’s illness and death, fed an “I Got it Girl” mentality that made it hard to ask for help.

Jennifer recounts a traumatic period beginning in 2010 when she was harassed and effectively stalked by a man, leading to fear, isolation, business shutdown, court involvement, and a moment where others finally stepped in to support her, including getting a protective order. She explains how surrendering control, speaking up, and accepting help helped her reclaim her voice and power, and how the experience led her to build an accidental social media business focused on simplifying marketing and helping others stop hiding. The key message: don’t be silent!!

Finding Ease: The Art of Letting Go and Trusting the Journey with Veronica Norwood

Today we interview Veronica Norwood, a longtime hairdresser and entrepreneur with experience in home-based and network marketing businesses who now focuses on coaching, team building, and transformations. Veronica shares how her coaching often shifts from “doing” in business to “being,” helping clients remove internal blocks through self-love practices like mirror work so outer results can flow more easily. Jackie and Veronica discuss how business is “20% strategy and 80% mindset,” and how inner work can improve multiple areas such as relationships, health, and finances. Veronica explains her own shift from control and resistance to trust and receiving, which contributed to meeting a partner through online dating and feeling safer than ever in a relationship, while learning to self-soothe triggers with reminders like “you’re safe.” They cover tools for navigating chaotic “gap” moments—breathing, tapping, meditation, journaling, supportive relationships—and the importance of practicing regulation skills before crises. Veronica closes with lessons from bodybuilding about the mind-muscle connection, presence, accepting a new identity, and remembering you’re a master creator.

Trusting the Journey and Discovering Personal Freedom with Shawna Rasch

In this episode I get to interview my friend and longtime client Shawna Rasch from Houston, Texas about her seven-year personal development journey. Shawna shares how hearing about life coaching at a work conference led her to work with her first coach who helped her recognize that her intense need for control that was rooted in a chaotic childhood, was driving burnout, strained relationships, and 60+ hour workweeks. Through coaching, parts work, and learning to set boundaries and say no, she began healing and experiencing major shifts in her marriage and relationships with her children. In 2022, despite fear and no job lined up, Shawna resigned from a role she once planned to retire from, moved into flexible contract work in her own consulting business, Rasch Innovative Solutions, and later launched her nonprofit Biscuits Cat Haven and invites listeners to connect and donate to her mission.

From Survival Mode to Self-Trust: Meghan Stockman on Reinvention, Human Design & The Rules Aren’t Real

Jackie welcomes Meghan Stockman to the I Got It Girl podcast to discuss Meghan’s reinvention path—from Air Force weather and space weather forecaster to aerial photographer, to creating Kid Space (a STEM-focused indoor playground with a planetarium and espresso café), and now coaching high-achieving women. Meghan shares how COVID shutdowns and $50,000/month overhead pushed her from intuitive trust into hyper-control, anxiety, and “forecasting” worst-case scenarios, leaving her nervous system depleted even after Kid Space rebounded with its best year in 2023. She explains how returning to the present moment and using tools like human design helped her reconnect to her natural operating style, stop looking externally for answers, and rebuild self-trust. Meghan outlines her “four core stories” method for identifying the narratives that block intuition and change, emphasizing her key message: the rules aren’t real—and you can unlock the cage you’ve built.

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.
