Daily Inspiration: Meet Ms. Jacquetta (Jackie) Allison

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ms. Jacquetta (Jackie) Allison.

Alright, thank you for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, how did you get started?
I was born and raised on the south side of Atlanta. My parents were blue-collar workers making ends meet the best way they knew as a school director and truck driver for the Coca-Cola Company. Both parents were functional alcoholics for all of my life, there were good and bad days, but my mother ensured I was raised in the church to ensure my foundation was set. She ensured I was at Sunday School, Morning and Night Services, Bible Vocational School, Watch Night Service, and, let’s not forget, Wednesday Bible study. You would think my being at church all the time with God would exempt me from sexual abuse and attempting suicide, having functionally depressed, being married/divorced twice, and being overweight. You may be thinking or asking yourself how she turned from a caterpillar to a phoenix in 6yrs. First, it was God. Then I decided I wanted more in 2016. I put myself in individual and group therapy, read self-help books, watched motivational videos, moved to a better community, and had weight loss surgery. The journey was not made easy. It was hard as hell. But I remembered that my mom laid that solid foundation in me that I could always hold on to in my rough times. My passion and skill set for children led me to work with women, especially mothers with young children. I especially wanted to pour back into children who may have gone through similar experiences as I did growing up as a child. Helping them find their voice as powerful individuals. One important lesson I live by is being the best version of oneself. You must start by being authentic, taking care of yourself by putting on your mask first. Keeping your cup full, so that when the overflow comes. You are serving the masses from your saucer, not your cup.

Now, as a fifty-plus woman, I have lived and seen 5 decades of change. The biggest change I have seen is Me! My story is not unique to the next child or mother going through their own personal hell. I want the adolescent, teenage or woman that is reading this to know you are not along in your journey. You, to will make and become history. You see, I am my own black history being the first in my family to be an Author of several books, speaking on stages, coaching women and men. And owning my business called Mums Wake Up And Win. If I came through 5 decades of storms, hail, waves, setbacks, losses, no friends and self-isolation to become the women I am today. I say, let them see your wings powerful Phoenix it’s your turn to fly.

I am an emerging world-renowned Transformational Coach, Mindset Speaker, Life Coach, Coaching Program, Published Children’s Author of 2 Children’s books with more to come, A Parent e-Book, 2 Published Affirmation and Prayer Journals. I have a blueprint passion that will take the world by storm. That will aid the uprising of the generation of women and children. As a midwife to the world, I come to cultivate and develop humanity, to make sure it doesn’t just keep spinning but that the world keeps growing in every area of life.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been smooth?
My journey has not been smooth, but if I had not gone through..sexual abuse, attempted suicided, being overweight, depression, low self-esteem, self-identified and being a people pleaser. The woman I am today would not exist, so what I thought was meant to kill me was preparing me to be a t Transformational Midwifery to the world.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Life/Family Consult and Coach
I work with families and individuals to help them see life differently. The glass is not empty. You have to fill it with your purpose and calling. I specialize in New mothers and New Babies. I help parents with the joys of parenthood, finding the right path for their family through different resources that I provide in my services. We live in a world of filters and make-believe, and the truth of the matter is parenting is not always easy. What sets me apart from others doing the same in my profession is I listen to hear their heart, not tell them what’s in them. I watched many mothers not talk about what they were experiencing daily, from mother caparisoning, body shame, postpartum depression, infertility, and miscarriages, Which led me to open Mums Wake Up And Win. Letting families know every day may not be perfect, but you are still a good parent. I am most proud of waking up every day and doing what I love coaching, teaching, and helping women worldwide embrace themselves completely.

Any big plans?
One of my big changes will be moving my family to Phoenix, Arizona, this year. Just because you are raised in one place all your life does not mean you have to die there. You may ask, why Arizona? Well, the first time I visited Arizona was with a client I was working with, and I knew right away it was the place to retire. The mountains were breathtaking. The temperature was amazing, and no bugs like in Georgia. As a coach/teacher, I can only preach to others if I’m willing to step out on faith and live to my fullest potential. Sometimes that means leaving your comfort zone for a higher level. Because comfort and destiny do not live on the same street, they are in different neighborhoods—plans to write more children’s books, 7-step mindset e-books, coaching mindset programs, and speaking engagements. My biggest plan for the future continues to serve the masses with more than just motivation but equip the masses with practical tools that can be used daily for everyday life.
