We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jakeena Geobani. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jakeena below.
Jakeena, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
I was placed on this earth to serve those in need of encouragement, guidance, and who struggle with overcoming self limiting thoughts. I am a Certified Life Coach, Facilitator, Motivational Empowerment Speaker, and Founder and CEO of Keena Konnects LLC! My passion is providing a listening ear and liberating advice to all.
This passion started as a child, I have always wanted to help those that didn’t have a strong support system readily available. I grew up feeling lost and uncertain of my worth and there were not many people around that I could trust to share how I was feeling. This led to some bad decisions and I got off track, it took years to course correct but I made it. Having this experience led me to open up Keena Konnects, I never want anyone to be in a space where they feel that no one cares or that their voice doesn’t matter.
I have been a coach to many people over the course of my 18 years working in corporate America. Last year with the support and encouragement of my wife I decided to launch Keena Konnects, Where Life Meets Purpose. Having my own business fills my life with purpose. When I see my clients achieve their goals, overcome self-limiting mindsets, and feel empowered, it brings me sincere joy! Keena Konnects is about helping people in society have a safe space to be exactly who they are meant to be, a place where all are welcome to reconnect with their true self uncover talents, and live a life of purpose.
It is important for the world to know about the benefits of having a life coach, and the positive life-changing things that will happen when you have a partner to help you navigate through ups and downs and come out on top.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Keena Konnects was birth from past struggles, hard work, determination and focus. I grew up in Portland OR and eventually migrated to Nashville TN. I have faced and overcome many obstacles; the adversities and victories prepared me to help others be great. Now, I am an author of a positive self-talk book and journal.I plan monthly events under my brand to bring individuals together (yoga in the park, sharing circles, and paint and shares). I specialize in mindset shifts to have a new paradigm on life and personal capabilities. My focus is to uncover the self-limiting beliefs that cause people to not reach their goals.
I want people to know that I am trustworthy, sincere, and their biggest cheerleader. I want to empower people to feel they matter and are worthy of greatness. I listen without judgment and we create a realistic plan of action to live a life of purpose. I am proud of my brand because I get to use my given talents to connect with people effortlessly. I create a safe space of hope and liberation to take on life’s challenges and still be successful.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
In the span of one year my life changed dramatically for the worst! My brother died, eight moths later my Mother died, and six months after her passing I seperated and eventually divorced my husband of over 14 years. My life went from great to depressing and filled with numerous challenges. I was in a state of disbelief of what my life had become, I felt alone scared and uncertain of the future. For awhile I was stuck and stagnant. One day I woke up and decided I had to take control of my future and create a better life for myself and my children. No longer would I be bound by circumstances that I could not control. I sought and fought for the support I needed and made something from nothing. SeIf healing and growth has brought me abundance! I have a thriving marriage, amazing children, and my business Keena Konnects where I help others lead and live a purpose-filled life.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I had to unlearn the need to be directed by what others thought about me and the way I lived my life. For many years I was overly focused on what others said about me, it stopped me from walking in purpose and truth. Now I am the author of my life and choose how I want to live and be, I am encouraged, empowered and enlightend.
