We recently connected with DeAundrra Jackson and have shared our conversation below.
Hi DeAundrra , thanks for joining us today. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?
If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t change when I started my creative journey. I launched The Vibe Flow Podcast at a pivotal moment in my life when I was navigating personal transitions, embracing motherhood, and striving to realign with my purpose. It wasn’t the most convenient time, but it was the most authentic.
Starting sooner might have meant creating from a place of uncertainty, without the life experiences that shape my perspective today. My journey has been filled with challenges—being a single mom, finding my voice, and rebuilding my confidence. Those experiences have given me the wisdom, relatability, and rawness that are at the core of my podcast. On the other hand, starting later might have given me more stability, but I would’ve missed out on the organic growth and genuine connections that formed as I shared my story in real time.
I believe I started right on time. The Vibe Flow Podcast is more than just a platform—it’s a space where I’m vulnerable, intentional, and true to myself. The timing wasn’t perfect, but it was real, and that’s what makes it resonate with my audience. I’m grateful for every messy, beautiful moment that led me here.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m DeAundrea N. Jackson, creator and host of The Vibe Flow Podcast, where authenticity meets intentionality. My podcast is more than just conversations—it’s an immersive experience that taps into the natural flow of energy while fostering honest, thought-provoking dialogue. As someone deeply passionate about human connection and personal growth, I created The Vibe Flow to be a safe space where people can come as they are, without judgment.
My journey into podcasting started during a transformative time in my life. Navigating single motherhood, postpartum challenges, and a desire to reclaim my purpose led me to embrace my voice and share my story. I wanted to build a platform where real stories and unfiltered perspectives could thrive, and where listeners could feel seen and understood.
What sets The Vibe Flow apart is its intentional approach to creating a community. I curate episodes that speak to the soul—tackling tough family conversations, exploring self-discovery, and celebrating personal victories. I also introduce segments like “Elevate the Flow,” where I reflect on what has uplifted my energy recently and encourage listeners to do the same. Whether it’s sharing my own experiences or vibing with a guest, I strive to keep it real and relatable while leaving listeners inspired.
Beyond the podcast, I’m building a lifestyle brand that aligns with the same core values: authenticity, community, and intentionality. One of my upcoming ventures is Promise Charm, a jewelry brand inspired by my daughter, where every charm tells a story and honors life’s most meaningful moments.
I’m most proud of how transparent and vulnerable I’ve been throughout my journey. I’ve learned that there’s power in sharing your story—even the messy, uncomfortable parts—and that truth resonates with people who are looking for genuine connection.
At the end of the day, I want people to know that I’m just like them—growing, learning, and striving to live authentically. My brand is about celebrating realness, cultivating vibes, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. I’m here to show that no matter where you are in your journey, you have the power to own your story and make an impact.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the freedom to express myself authentically while connecting with others on a deeper level. Through The Vibe Flow Podcast, I get to share my story, my struggles, and my victories—all while encouraging others to do the same. It’s an incredible feeling to know that my vulnerability and transparency can inspire someone else to embrace their truth and find their own voice.
I’m passionate about creating a space where people feel seen, valued, and uplifted. Whether it’s through a heartfelt episode or a community conversation, I love sparking real, intentional connections. Seeing how my content resonates with listeners and makes a difference in their lives reminds me why I started in the first place. It’s not just about sharing my journey—it’s about building a community where we can grow and vibe together. That’s what keeps me motivated and grateful every single day.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
Absolutely! One resource I wish I knew about earlier is the power of community support through platforms like Discord and social media groups tailored to creatives and podcasters. Building The Vibe Flow Podcast has shown me how valuable it is to have a network of like-minded people who can offer advice, collaboration opportunities, and genuine encouragement.
I also wish I had tapped into digital planning and content organization tools sooner. Managing my ideas, episode schedules, and social media content became so much easier once I started using apps like Notion and GoodNotes. They’ve helped me stay consistent and intentional with my creative flow.
Lastly, I wish I had taken advantage of more podcasting and content creation workshops early on. Learning from seasoned creators about branding, storytelling, and audience engagement would have saved me a lot of trial and error. Knowing the importance of investing in my craft and seeking mentorship sooner would have made my journey smoother, but I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
