Hi There! 
I'm Jai Michaels​

During my tenure in human resources and leadership roles, I’ve had a front-row seat to the unique challenges female leaders face. In leadership roles, I’ve seen talented women rise to the occasion time and time again, only to burn out in the process.

 

I’ve also witnessed how unaddressed emotional traumas—stored in the subconscious—can unexpectedly surface, creating stress, overwhelm, or embarrassment in both professional and personal settings.

​

I understand the pressures of leadership because I’ve lived them. But it wasn’t until I became a certified Health and Nutrition Coach that I realized what was missing from traditional leadership development strategies: wellness and the importance of emotional healing.

 

I saw firsthand that leadership cannot be sustainable or truly impactful without a foundation of personal well-being and an understanding of how unresolved traumas impact decision-making, relationships, and emotional responses.

Prioritizing Health and Wellness

​

As a female leader, you already recognize the importance of caring for your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. But wellness isn't just about checking off tasks—it’s about maximizing your full potential in the workplace and home. This isn’t just self-care; it’s a strategy to transform how you lead, show up, and create impact. 

​

I'm here as your coach to:

​

  1. Reframe Self-Care as a Leadership Strategy

  2. Treat Boundaries as Empowerment, Not Restriction

  3. Use Emotional Intelligence to Lead with Impact

  4. Transform Mindfulness into a Power Tool for Resilience

  5. Lead with Purpose, Not Just Goals

  6. Reflect on Your Wins to Fuel Your Drive
     

Health and Wellness in Action

At my heaviest, highly stressed, and the most unhealthy.  We hold stress in and on our bodies, as shown.
 

BTW - I so did not want to take this pic but this was my reality and now my way of showing you what's possible.

After leaving a high-stress career and focusing on my health and wellness, the weight began to  literally melt away. 

 

I also learned the vital steps to change my mindset to be in the best shape ever!
