Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jadacy Engram. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jadacy, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?
A Taste of healing was birthed from the loss of our son Little Eddie; he was stillborn at 30 weeks. As an angel mom, I had to find a way to cope with my grief. My creativity is something that I pride myself on. That’s something I felt could never be taken away from me. We were excited about our son. When our son passed away, I lost my son, myself & my creativity. I was empty, so I started to cook.
At that moment, I realized my grieving process was unique because I was using the method of cooking to help with my layers of healing.
A Taste of healing personifies how I connect with other moms that have experienced pregnancy & infant loss, but still allows me to express myself through this time of grief.
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 am a wife, mom, pregnancy and infant loss advocate, entrepreneur & digital cookbook author. I design hand crafted seasonings, and recipes. I absolutely love cooking.
Heavy on the Healing will speak to all who must carry on without their child or loved ones and help with the difficult task of moving forward.
Heavy on the Healing’ offers insight and peace for anyone grieving, but especially those who have experienced child loss. All through soulful cooking.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I started to use my influence on social media to inspire moms like myself to express my feelings that were connected To Little Eddie’s passing, as a caption and posting photos of the food I would design, that would bring me comfort during that time or my thoughts while cooking the dish. I refer to it as Culinary Therapy.
I say, be authentic. People love when you’re relatable.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
When launching my business, although it was birthed from the passing of little Eddie. It wasn’t until I gave birth to my Micro preemie Maxwell, who was born at just 24 weeks & had to spend almost four months in the NICU. Maxwell’s birth taught me patience. There was absolutely nothing I could to to help Maxwell except be present. So, during this time, I needed something else to focus on, something that wasn’t so heavy, so I had to pivot & sell t-shirts. I spent 14-24 hours with Maxwell in the hospital. So I would spend my time designing images for t-shirts. No one knew I had gave birth to Maxwell. I couldn’t spend much time cooking anymore, so……. I sold t-shirts until he came home.
