Embodying Your Main Character

Who is Jaci Marie?

I am a multi-faceted, multi-passionate woman and lover of life! I am a mother to one handsome, brilliant son who keeps my life full of joy, curiosity and fun. I enjoy working out, self-care, personal development and experiencing new hobbies.  My professional work is as a life & relationship coach and healthcare consultant, which both bring me so much joy being able to help and support others.

How did you make the move from nursing to coaching women, what sparked the

inspiration for the change?

I haven’t fully exited healthcare, as all my work embodies mind, body and spirit.  My own personal transformation sparked the inspiration to shift into coaching women.  I made a decision to be more intentional with my fitness and exercise after my son was born, and that journey led me to stepping onto body building competition stages and truly embracing a new level of health and lifestyle.  It was during that time that I was able to understand how powerful our minds really are.  I realized as I was working out, that my body was not going to do anything my mind didn’t direct it to do.  That realization was mind blowing!  From there I dived fully into personal development and mindset work.

Why has working with women been your main focus? What magic do you see in

women that they often fail to see in themselves?

Women are the creators of life! Period, end of conversation. 

Just kidding, but seriously, the magic women possess, embody and radiate is unmatched.  We as women can and do wear so many different hats… as mothers, daughters, wives, sisters, business owners, and excelling in our careers, the list can go on and on.  Shifting from role to role, identity to identity is where I see women leave out pieces of themselves. 

As an example, a woman who has given birth for the first time has now taken on her new role as a mother.  With that beautiful addition and new identity, it is not necessary to give up on the women she once was prior to becoming a mother.  Her new role as a mother is an addition to who she already is, yet this is where I see women fail to see the entirety of themselves and they tend to lose themselves in the process.

Walk us through the Mindset, Magnetism, and Main Character tenants of your

coaching (love that it’s called the Main Character!)

Your inner world creates your outer world! What you believe to be true, how you embody that truth about yourself and how you move about in the world owning your truth. 

Activating your Main Character encompasses it all, mindset and magnetism. I take my clients through a 4-step process which can also be found in my Magnetic Woman Playbook.

The steps are:

1. Decide- claim your power

2. Embrace- own your story and essence

3. Embody- become HER now

4. Integrate- make it your natural state of being.

What is one act of self-care/wellness that you absolutely love that you think

everyone can incorporate into their routines?

Positive self-talk.  Speak to and about yourself like you love and adore yourself everyday!

What does sisterhood and community mean to you?

A profound power arises when women come together and support other women.  When we unite in sisterhood and community, create spaces to feel safe and be seen, deep healing occurs and anything is possible.  In a community, women can bring together an array of different perspectives, skills, wisdom, and experiences.  Coming together in such a way can also be energizing and motivating for all involved. 

Empowering women empowers us all.

What piece of advice do you have for women who are looking to step outside

their comfort zones?

Focus on the best-case scenario and remain positive.  What is the best thing that could happen??  Most of us have heard, “what’s the worst that could happen?”, which keeps us focused on the worst, so my advice would be to flip it and focus on the best.  Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be exciting when you adopt a positive mindset.
