It's 2022 and we're going through a transition from a global pandemic to some type of "normalcy." As we go through this transition, you have heard or seen people discussing living a Holistic lifestyle. 

Holistic living is a lifestyle that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. It is a way of looking at the bigger picture and connecting with one self. 

We speak with Jacklyn Sweet on living a Holistic lifestyle and how we can start this journey of a more conscious living. 

Jacklyn Sweet is a Certified Holistic Life and Wellness Coach, registered yoga teacher, and creator of vibes and safe spaces. Residing in sunny Los Angeles (by way of New Jersey), Jacklyn has always been a lover of health and wellness and leading a life lived well. Her passion and mission to empower women to live a life of authenticity through wellness inspired her to create “Sweet Life Sundays,” a lifestyle wellness brand founded by Jackie in 2016. Creating a sacred space that’s chill, inviting, and relatable for WOC to heal, release, and restore in their divine feminine energy is what Jacklyn prides herself in. One of Jacklyn’s favorite quotes to live by is, “Success is the child of audacity”. Live boldly!

I'm sharing my story of when I didn't hold myself accountable with an old friend. How I thought that everyone else around me was the problem. The resources that I learned to got me to the place of holding myself accountable.

When you become accountable for your behavior and actions toward others; you grow! 

Through self-love and self reflecting, I learned how to become the best version of myself. It allowed me to hold myself accountable in future situations and to hold other people accountable while understanding that were all on different levels of growth.
