“Before I ever had the priviledge of meeting Jackie I saw  her in action. She was speaking at a rather large event with thousands of women and you could have heard a pin drop. She wasn’t even the main speaker at the event. I found it interesting that after the event everyone was discussing Jackie and not the key note  speaker! I had no way of knowing that a year later our paths would cross. Jackie is a cancer survivor with a totally different take on her experience.  She has taken the lessons earned through tackling breast cancer and transformed them to use in our every days lives! The tools she originally developed to help her deal with her biggest challenge can now be used for ALL of us. So what’s your biggest challenge? What fears are holding you back?  Jackie is here to bust through all of that and help our readers begin to THRIVE!” ~Karolyn
