My name is Jacquelin Brooks and I am a wife, mother, and life mentor. I was previously a Middle School Counselor for 5 years and loved guiding young adolescents to seeing all of their potential. After becoming a mom, I quickly realized that leaving my baby was one of the most difficult things that I would face. I had this big idea that I could juggle work, being a mom, all while trying to keep the
spark in my marriage and that I could do it all while being happy. I learned really quickly that I was capable of doing it all, but I was miserable doing it. I couldn't fully serve my students, be the mom I wanted to be, and a loving wife to my wonderful husband. I was praying for something to change and that I could find the happiness and joy that I once had before my life had changed. Later that year, a job opportunity presented itself to my husband and we moved three months later to a new town that was three hours away from where we had once lived. This job opportunity allowed me to be a stay at home mom and care for my family like I had always dreamed of doing. We did all of this before our daughter was one! We took a leap of faith and decided we would embark on this new adventure together. It was a short period of time where I struggled with staying at home mom too because I felt like I had lost my identity. I had worked so much and my identity was all wrapped up into helping others find their passion and dreams, that I couldn't remember what mine were. I had friends and family that helped me along my journey to help me remember that I could do it all, and live in joy and share that joy with other moms. Now I'm a life mentor for mothers who once lost that happiness and passion and are seeking to find that as well and hoping to be the mom they've always wanted to be for their children. Motherhood is one of the hardest journeys we women will ever embark upon. We sometimes forget we are strong, capable, and beautiful women and can do anything we want. If you're struggling to find that spark in your life and wondering where it all went, I can help!
