We recently connected with Twyla Jackson and have shared our conversation below.
Twyla, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
When selecting the name for my business, I often kept in mind what are the most outstanding benefits of life coaching. How does life coaching assist and benefit individuals that are in need? A life coach offers assistance with clarifying goals, identifying obstacles, and lastly creating a strategy for overcoming each obstacle in a healthy and positive manner. Steps like these are processes. Processes are a part of a journey. A journey is an act. Journeying is progression and movement. Agreeing to hire a life coach is positive self care. We all know that self care is vital and if aligned appropriately, self care promotes lifelong expectancies. A journey to getting anyone’s life on track is an adventure but very well worthwhile. This was how Journey 2 Self was created.
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
I’m a certified Life Coach based in South, Georgia. I’m an altruistic person who thrives on helping others. I have to thank my friends, coworkers, and people I have met in the randomly for inspiring me to pursue life coaching. I have always been told I was a very calm person, easy to talk to, a great listener, and an excellent problem solver. My friends would always call me to help problem solve and to help them set goals. This inspired me to start Journey 2 Self.
I’m fortunate to be doing what I love. Coaching and mentoring people to reclaim their peace in life. I am committed to helping people claim ownership of their lives in ways that feel empowering. As a Life Coach, I help you tap into your full potential, find direction, and accomplish your goals.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Social media is vital and impactful. It has allowed me to obtain new clients and referrals from private practice therapists, behavioral health services, counselors, etc who feel my services would greatly assist individuals with guidance and any other services that life coaching provides that anyone would benefit from. Facebook and Instagram are my primary sources thus far. Here clients are able to gain knowledge of what my business provides, website linkage, booking services, contact number and any other additional information needed.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
Lessons that I have learned along the way would be, everything doesn’t have to be PERFECT! I am a little bit of a perfectionist and have always felt that everything had to be just right. After I took the journey to learn myself and the value I can bring to my world, I learned not to worry so much about whether I achieved perfection. I realized that progress matters more than perfection.
I’ve found throughout life that motivating others, being understandable and relatable to people around me has been my greatest characteristic. People would come to me with their most personal life challenges for help to better themselves. After growing in my personal life journey, I felt the need to inspire, motivate, and encourage others in their life’s journey. In 2021 I decided to officially be trained as a certified life coach. Due to the pandemic, I started my life coaching business remotely only to find out that this was more convenient and comfortable for clients.
