We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jalisa Hardy a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jalisa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Looking back at internships and apprenticeships can be interesting, because there is so much variety in people’s experiences – and often those experiences inform our own leadership style. Do you have an interesting story from that stage of your career that you can share with us?

During my internship with a Naturopathic Doctor, I had the opportunity to work closely with my mentor to help cure my mom’s breast cancer using natural remedies and alternative treatments. She opted out of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

Together, we explored a combination of supplements, dietary changes, and internal work to help my mom’s body fight the cancer. I was amazed to see the progress my mom made in just four months of following this protocol. The cancer was gone, and her overall health had improved.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson about the power of natural remedies and the importance of taking a holistic approach to healthcare. Working closely with my mentor, I learned the value of creating personalized treatment plans that consider all aspects of a patient’s health and well-being.

As I continue to pursue a career in healthcare, I carry these lessons with me. I believe in the power of natural remedies and alternative treatments, and I strive to provide patients with personalized care that considers their unique needs and preferences.

My experience with my mom’s breast cancer was a turning point for me, and it has inspired me to make a difference in the lives of others by providing compassionate and effective healthcare.

Jalisa, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

As a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, I provide resources, tools, and safe spaces for women to empower them to create lives of peace, pleasure, and purpose. I am also the author of “It’s All in Me! – My Journey To Freedom & Living Abundantly,” a memoir and self-help guide that covers topics such as forgiving, faith, and feeding your being in your journey to freedom and abundance. My goal is to help women live their best lives by achieving optimal health and wellness through holistic approaches.

My journey into the health and wellness industry started when I was faced with my own health challenges. I struggled with chronic stress, anxiety, and digestive issues, which led me to explore natural remedies and alternative treatments. Through my own personal journey, I discovered the power of holistic health and became passionate about helping others achieve their health goals.

“It’s All in Me!” is a memoir and self-help guide that chronicles my personal journey to freedom and abundance. In the book, I share my experiences with forgiveness, faith, and self-care, and offer practical tools and advice for readers to achieve their own personal transformation.

The book covers a range of topics, including the importance of forgiveness in achieving inner peace, the role of faith in personal growth, and the power of feeding your being with nutritious foods and positive energy. Through my own personal journey, I offer readers a roadmap for achieving true wellness and living a life of abundance.

What sets my book apart from others in the self-help genre is its focus on holistic health and wellness. I believe that true wellness is achieved by addressing all aspects of a person’s health, including mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. “It’s All in Me!” offers a comprehensive approach to personal transformation, one that empowers readers to take control of their health and their lives.

I am most proud of the impact that “It’s All in Me!” has had on readers. I have received countless messages from women who have been inspired by my story and have used the book as a tool for their own personal growth. It is my hope that the book continues to inspire and empower women to achieve their own personal transformation.

For potential readers and fans, I want them to know that “It’s All in Me!” is a powerful tool for personal transformation. Whether you are struggling with forgiveness, seeking to deepen your faith, or looking to improve your overall health and wellness, this book offers practical tools and advice for achieving your goals. With “It’s All in Me!,” you can achieve true freedom and abundance in all aspects of your life.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

As a young black woman who grew up in poverty and experienced various types of trauma and abuse, I have faced many challenges throughout my life. However, my journey has also been one of resilience, and I’d like to share a story that illustrates this.

When I was in my late-twenties, I found myself in an abusive marriage. I had three young children at the time and was struggling to get my financial independence. My husband was physically and emotionally abusive, and I felt trapped in the relationship.

Despite the fear and uncertainty I faced, I knew that I had to find a way out in May of 2022. I made the difficult decision to leave my husband and start a new life on my own. I didn’t have a lot of resources, but I was determined to create a better life for myself and my children.

I have faced many obstacles along the way, from financial struggles to personal setbacks, but I have not given up on my dreams.

Now, I am building a business to support and help others who have experienced similar challenges in their lives. Through my work, I aim to empower other women to overcome adversity and create lives of joy and purpose.

My journey has taught me the importance of resilience and perseverance. No matter what challenges we face in life, we have the strength and resilience within us to overcome them. It may not be easy, but with determination and a strong support system, we can create the lives we want for ourselves and our loved ones.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

As a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, I have found that there are many important qualities that can help someone succeed in this field beyond just training and knowledge.

One of the most important traits is empathy. Being able to truly listen and understand my clients’ needs and concerns is essential to creating effective and individualized wellness plans. It’s important to approach each client with an open heart and mind, without judgment, and to meet them where they are in their journey.

Another important quality is creativity. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to holistic health, and it’s important to be able to think outside the box and tailor solutions to each client’s unique needs. This involves being adaptable and open to trying new things, as well as being able to draw upon a variety of modalities and tools to support clients in achieving their goals.

Finally, building strong relationships and a supportive network is critical in this field. I have found that networking with other holistic health practitioners and building relationships with other professionals and organizations in the wellness industry has been invaluable. It has allowed me to gain new insights and knowledge, as well as to build a supportive community that can provide resources and referrals for my clients.

Overall, while training and knowledge are certainly important in the field of holistic health, I believe that empathy, creativity, and building relationships are equally essential for success.
